The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
We have not passed the event horizon. The universe was kind to spare me. But itβs a long journey home.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. To break the cycle is to be alive. It nourishes my soul.
We find comfort in those tempting pitt stops, at the cost of the vision.
And the truth is a blanket that just covers your face. It will never be enough.
We are not alone in this life. We are profoundly attached to ourself. A twin to share our joy and pain. But our flesh is what we present to others. It is a biological vessel that masks the soul.
We must exercise true executive authority. Otherwise we are at the mercy of the flesh. But such is the fate of many, for we are human in this lifetime.
Thank you Walt Whitman, Thoreau, and Robin Williams during these dark times.
@CalebFranzen The yield primarily only comes from the first one. The question is over what time frame must it appreciate. Aka how long of a bear market can MSTR survive. They can hibernate for a while
If company A and B have indentical balance sheets to Strategy but B has way higher cost basis than A, then B would be sitting on a much greater tax loss harvest potential. Though I am unsure how those capital losses can be put to use in the future besides for the case when they sell BTC at a capital gain.
@Evan_ss6@thedefivillain God forbid we add some slack into the constraints of this optimization problem. And god forbid we we update our philosophy given mathematical insights. Then it will all be ok.
Here is a simple counter
If you look at MSTR 600-700 call spreads they are trading around 2.50. This price (normalized by call spread width) should be bounded by the probability that MSTR expires above 600 and the probability MSTR expires above 700. Aka
P(MSTR>=700) <= 2.5% <= P(MSTR >= 600)
However by your assertion we can look at the delta of the 700 calls to see what is P(MSTR >= 700) and we therefore conclude this is around 21% (according to Robinhood). But this contradicts the market implied upper bound of 2.5%.
