I shorted TSLA instead when I learned he was taking TWTR private, as thats how he pays for it, at the 230 strike point. TSLA down on that, but the theta has eaten a lot of my dividends. I suppose I should sell to close if this deal hasn't cored out TSLA like I thought it would, as it will probably recover in line with the market. So no big losses, but no real gains either. Probably woulda made sligggggghtly more just leaving it alone in my ETF

Telsa recovers, dude. I shorted TSLA instead. And it did take a hit, but not enough to matter. So if you wanna laugh, then laugh at me moving a bunch of investments around for essentially lunch money dividends when I should've just left it all alone.

It did when I made the post, but then I read he was taking it private, and I was like "Oh. Well I still think this deal sucks for him so how do I bet on that?" And thats when I went to TSLA I think a LOT of people had the same idea lol

You guys think doing research is a good thing when buying naked options? It's degenerate gambling. Fukn Draft Kings would blush at some of these spreads. It's crystal ball poo poo. The less you know the better. Just go on instincts. Or, you know, don't do it at all. That's the far smarter play. But if you're gonna, spare yourself the "research."

In so much media, rich people, even when they're being presented in a negative light, are portrayed as formidable or capable or impressive in ways that don't just stem from their wealth. Elon really ought to put the lie to that. What an absolute goober nerd. If there really were secret rich-person orgies he'd be off in some corner nervously pretending to check his phone for an important email.

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:https://finance.yahoo.com/news/binance-ceo-elon-musk-twitter-133451414.html This is what I find so mystifying with due diligence not being done. If he were funding it with his own personal lucre, that would be fine, insane but fine. It isn't being funded with his money though, were those wealth/fund managers who are backing the deal with other people's money not under a fiduciary duty to do due diligence? Is he not under the same obligation to Tesla shareholders who now find themselves as part owners of twitter?

Collateral posted:This is what I find so mystifying with due diligence not being done. If he were funding it with his own personal lucre, that would be fine, insane but fine. What, no, that's completely wrong. Tesla shareholders don't own twitter. It's being funded by Musk's money. Musk personally owns a shitload of Tesla stock. He's selling some of that stock, and taking out loans against more of it (the same way a normal person could take out a mortgage against your house -- it's a thing with value that secures the loan). Nobody else who owns Tesla stock can do poo poo about it. It's his stock. He's also getting a bunch of rich people to contribute some money, but those are private deals. There's no due diligence requirement. If the other rich rear end in a top hat said "ok I want to see all the financials and get due diligence" Musk would just be like "lol no, take it or leave it". Hedge fund managers have fiduciary duties, but at the hedge fund level that's way less of a big deal. It's basically "don't steal the money and don't lie to your clients". That's why hedge funds aren't something you can invest in as an average joe. They have far less regulations as far as how careful they have to be with the money they control. This means they can make far riskier investments with less prep time, which means on average they make more money. But also if your hedge fund loses all its money shorting gamestop, you get to eat a dick.

He gets to use it cos he's an 'African-American' loool get it!?! I bet you never heard that joke before!! LOLS* *I clicked on Jordan Peterson's daughter's Twitter account as it was linked in the Jorp thread, she was asking Elon to unban her dad, and she had very recently retweeted a congratulatory tweet praising how an 'African-American' like Musk had hit such heights. Of course there was a lot of back-slapping "har-har-har well played" going around in the replies. I'm not sure why I subject myself to that sort of thing.
