Mkts expectations are bottoms "here", my own expectations are not yet but soon (i prefer to buy undervalue not at par)

Express this strategically 2 different ways
QQQ - $281 cost, CVar* $200, max profit ~$1.9k, RoR ~550%

SPX - $1.8K cost, CVar* - $3k, max profit ~$21k, RoR 1000%

*Conditional value of risk (CVar) aka worst 5% of all losses

Love this country for all its faults nothing else like it!

Employees become family because…
Empires are never built alone

Taking the old team in Cali on a nice PCH drive south

This on the higher side but damn

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@BankUnlimited @wbmosler @Rory_Johnston Yes

@michaeljburry You realize all the major turns you’ve been early

Check your old OG email….left you a gift 😘

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

Don’t fall for this…there is ZERO predictability in P/C ratio, been debunked for decades

Trade efficient markets by understanding probabilistic outcomes, asymmetric opportunity setups, manage size hence risk at entry(this is your “hedge”), and manage winners/losers mathematically instead of emotionally

Trade the trade, not the narrative

This video could’ve been 5mins long but traders love to talk 😉

I don't know if market cares about renewed Iran sit

But I do know that market is very long calls
and not long downside hedges (puts)

this makes the put call open interest ratios near their ~10 year lows

that transition could be violent

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

Financialization of an asset always reduces it volatility, even just by being more liquid

$HPE is 0.50 to 1$ wide spread
$IBIT spread is 0.05

Let me repeat again, all anyone is doing is trading risk

Call yourself an investor? it’s still trading risk just on a longer timeframe

Why would anyone buy Crypto right now when stocks are actively doing this?

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@tonyannett It’s the age old story of capital vs labor and policy choices that can effect outcomes

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

I mean this is easy for anyone to see while capital has recovered post 2000s labor has not

Available for free for anyone to see

@LeePrevost @tonyannett Tell me you didn’t read/understand data without telling me

There is no double standard 🤣

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@talmonsmith Disposable income is a better measure than pretax no?
Taxes are a claim on income after all

Thoughts - it’s just a story of capital vs labor. All of these metrics are just downstream of endogenous credit which in itself is downstream of exogenous money

@FarrellM22 It was more Asian inspired w/Matcha it was ~7$

It’s free to come just check out the space/cars, not a requirement that you buy 😉

I pay 13$ for a loaf of bread in that very neighborhood

Price of paying living wage, profit is not the main driver of my investments

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

2 years ago opened a no tipping coffee shop coffee shop in BK, all because someone said “it’s impossible to make profit”

They pull in $500k a month, by year end, employees will have bought out most of my equity (5% left from 90)

Invested in a new one check it out!

P.S MT900 will be there this week…iykyk😉

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

Happy end of PDT day for those that celebrate

Remember to manage your new found access to risk

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@Tony_BATtista @marketswithmay These regulations came about from the pod shop era/bubble….people don’t realize how long we’ve been fighting for change

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@BY272727 The cheapest non-resale ticket is 1k…in the bleachers
Stop making me dream great seats will be reasonable 😭

MSG still hasn’t released tickets

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

Anyway point is if something is working for you, keep doing it till it doesn’t

What usually takes folks down is ego not skill, these guys are all skilled to an extent that’s a fact

Just don’t confuse luck for skill though but skill can often create multiple lucky instances 😉🫣

One Ben blew up
Another Ben is actively losing investors
A George that chooses to be opaque
A bond maestro who hasn’t made any money
An Andy underperforming overall mkts (-fees)

Money management is a parasitic sector

Do they recognize all they are trading/investing is risk?

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@talmonsmith Why pretax?? Tax is a claim on income

Looks like a K to me 😂

https://t.co/m6KwT7Tqr6

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@talmonsmith Sure…but just like the alligator when it goes for big prey

Bottom opens up more like a K 😉

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@BenKizemchuk Nice sidestep

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@firstadopter Lmao…idk why but it’s bullish

What happened to you 😂

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

@BankUnlimited I can understand not wanting to show size and give someone the wrong idea why every trade I post/manage is single contract

But not even saying date/strike/price….just trust me I’ll be honest is an interesting take

[Slylust @OptionsSly]

There is a lot of nuances in this last derivative, where people make mistakes because they never asked Q you did and just assumed

Trader could be short a ton of MU stock and bought OTM calls to hedge upside risk, we don’t know the traders full book!

Start very small, size kills in this arena
Nowadays one can get 5 years of experience in ~6months
First step is to learn and get a feel for options greeks and how it hits your PnL

The edge is mechanical your first principles knowledge is your alpha…if its right 😅
