nnnotime posted:Nice summary. But basically all the big financial institutions have committed crimes or serious violations over the past 20 years: All it takes is one bad broker or loan officer. The incentives are like honey to flies and it's easy to prey on others greed and desperation. In the small office I worked, one broker was sending out false statements to clients on corporate stationary.

shame on an IGA posted:The amyloid beta theory of alzheimers may be an intentional fraud. It's likely that amyloid plaques are a symptom of the neurodegeneration but not the initial cause. Once they reach a critical point they can cause neuroinflammation by themselves. It's worth noting that human brains are significantly different from animals, especially rodents. I've easily cured experimental autoimmune encephalitis in hundreds of mice - doesn’t translate to humans!

Hadlock posted:I had seen the movie as a kid but it wasn't until covid I found out the people in the movie were outliers in a much, much larger epidemic Awakenings is based on a true story. It does happen but again likely a variety of different etiologies. Some were probably viral and some were autoimmune. In fact I just had a patient who suddenly went into a coma from viral encephalitis and recovered quickly with steroids. Modern imaging and testing provided a clear diagnosis that wouldn't have been available back then.

Listen, I've got this jank formula set up for looking at options trades. I realize my formula isn't capturing Gamma and Vega well, and that's why the risks aren't immediately apparent, but I wanted to ask the thread what's going to go wrong first opening a trade like this. I was interested in looking at LEAPS and trying to figure out if they were better or worse than buying a leveraged ETF from the short to intermediate terms. I quickly realized the theta drags you down more than most people seem to think when talking about LEAPS.  With this trade I plan on rolling the short dated, short, option contracts once a month. I'm effectively long IWM in this instance with the added bonus of being long theta(?). I want to know if the gamma risk of 60-90 DTE will cause the short contracts to get out of hand on a rip upwards, or other mysterious ways that this trade will gently caress me that I'm unaware of.

If we get a big rally, it is going to be relatively expensive to close out that monthly short and open another one, yes. You have the long there to cover it, but your plan hinges on being able to sell almost 3 of those shorts before you have to offset it with the long call. If you don't offset it, eat the loss and open another monthly short, then you need to sell even more to chase the loss. You're not going to get *hosed* unless you just stubbornly re-up this thing loss after loss, but think about the odds of what's basically a coinflip here (short IWM at 181) working out 3 times in a row.

Anything can happen I guess but I own a fair chunk of IXC and plan on holding it a while. edit: if you're very cynical, consider selling soon and going long after the midterm elections Agronox fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jul 25, 2022 |

Asking for a friend Been in this thread close to 17 years now, I will never stop posting  But it's been pretty quiet lately. The things I owned a few months ago are largely the same things I still own now. I have a bunch of earnings coming up tomorrow, and one I'm particularly curious about is SOHO coming up on August 11. Nothing's screaming at me to buy or sell it right now. I could be missing something. What've you been up to, pastrami?
