@christi10006880@data168 Not sure his portfolio I just remember he talked about missing out on retiring early because of the crash.
I'm sure he was tech heavy, that was his background. He said he needed 2 more years in the stock market & could "pull it all and retire."
@ZeeContrarian1 What's the cost to borrow for shorting UVXY or VXX? Are they even available to short when there's a spike?
How do you manage your account margin when UVXY keeps spiking?
For options, what delta can you get at what cost, and what's the risk from the other greeks?
@DaveShapi Gov power should be so weak that we could elect anyone from Stalin to Hitler and they couldn't get anything done.
Politics isn't the problem, power is.
@MartyMendi11724@MarkDavis Texas rates are 12% below national average. Most Texans can shop rates and find deals.
Before deregulation I was paying 17c, now I pay 11c total. Has been as cheap as 8c.
GOP delivered on this, a rate freeze will cut supply and create issues.
@ZeeContrarian1 I prefer $SVIX. Long equity is easier to manage IMO - no theta or complicate greeks from options spread. There is beta decay from moderate sustained volatility so don't B&H; catch the rebound & rebalance out.
Buy when VXST:VIX closes back below 1.0.
@bumbadum14 This isn't to say armed conflict is imminent/necessary! The gap between most GOP and Dem voters is narrower than the machine would have us think.
Trump and many in his circle are essentially 1990s Democrats. Lower the temp with less alarmism & more dialog on disagreements.
@bumbadum14 Peasant rebellions are always crushed.
Geo Wash was worth >$100M in today's dollars. Most of the others were wealthy too.
Without powerful leadership that can fight the fiscal & diplomatic battles, yeoman rifles are only a last stand against gulag level tyranny.
@rohindhar Total boomer slop about DC noise & water/power usage fed by our adversaries that left & right both ate up.
Plus the flock camera surveillance state issue = "data centers are monitoring our Instagram posts to sell us junk" = "gov monitoring us with DC."
@michaellistman Today is why I like SVIX. I'll start buying soon.
I did OK with UVXY options trading for a while but eventually it went sideways on me. SVIX seems to net about the same but its just a long equity so easier.
@neoavatara The problem is Indian in-group preference.
If you say "no more Scot immigrants, they're all socialists" (which is kinda true) I'm not getting upset that you insult my heritage. Im American, not my genes.
You left India for a reason. Leave the scams & castes behind or go back.
@rand_longevity No.
I have automated much of Finance & accounting at my co but I'm not eliminating roles.
* Need folks to investigate issues
* Need a person to blame
* People now focus on value-add vs biz as usual
* Some dont trust SI, want a person reviewing
* LLMs dont throw office parties
@ayesha_fatiima Things that didn't happen for $1000.
Company will send a box & shipping label. They dont want the drama of ex-employee in the building.
If it does happen then just bring the kid and drop the laptop off. What are they going to do, fire you?
@WSJ Wheres the Princeton network & placement dept?
PhD = academic career.
Managers think he'll want too much $, or will leave for a prof role, or be untrainable after so long not in the real world.
@SteveOnSpeed I think its people who have been in the same role for a long period & dont know how to job hunt.
I've made several changes in the past few years and only took a couple of months of searching & interviews.
Friends in marketing, sales, Ops have similar stories.
@little_gradient@TBU12345678 AAdvantage gets you in early but I always check luggage & dont need a bin, so board late.
I have time to finish my beers and mostly avoid the cattle line in the aisle.
