Ford is planning hybrid trucks by 2020 and fully electric pickups by 2022.
## Speaker_1: ##
Bro I was born and raised in rural Georgia. You think a bunch of fucking rednecks want to drive a truck that doesn't burn Freedom Fuel (sold by the Saudis as is tradition)? Zero fucking chance.
## Speaker_0: ##
They will if they want to drive a truck for less than $400/wk.

That is too 2007. These days you are an 'entrepreneur' but in reality you are just unemployed with a vague idea for an app that has been tried a million times before.
## Speaker_1: ##
This is high school acquaintance of mine, graduated 2014. In 2012 he was always bashing on people telling them he was gonna be a successful businessman yada yada yada. He drops out of college less than two years in, posts it all proud on social media, starts an app funded by his parents and his co-founder's parents. Last I checked it hasn't gone anywhere. Still drives a BMW and shows off "his" money.
## Speaker_2: ##
Haha I was friends with a guy like that on FB. He was a total fag with shoulder length hair and was constantly peddling his nootropics/alkaline water scam. He also posted pictures of 5min forex charts talking about "the trader life". As a joke I started conversing with him about his "trading" strategy and he offered me a 15 minute lesson over the phone for $25.

I fucking hate how predictable this dude is
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, we previously had a president that would cry on TV every time a school was shot up while saying we have to "do more and reach compromise" every time. Certainly Trump is deeply predictable comparatively.
For example, anytime someone brought up scandals in his admin he would say there's not a "smidgen" of corruption" and move onto some other non-issue and ignore it.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why so many downvoTes? Barry was a damn community organizer, no fucking clue about business or the real world.
## Speaker_3: ##
"No clue about the real world."
So the poor African American raised by a single mom that literally rose from the working class to be President of the United States with some of the highest approval ratings and winning by some of the largest margins in US history has "no clue about the real world", but the born into wealth wonder bread white guy that has had the entire world handed to him on a silver platter does have a clue about "the real world". How fucking dumb do you sound?
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm not attacking at all where he "Grew up" in, i'm saying his only work experience was being a god damn community organizer. He has no idea how businesses work, look at that joke in Canada, a substitute drama teacher as PM? Are you fucking kidding me???
Let's put some more wall street hedge fund managers in D.C.

He was a U.S. Fucking Senator after graduating from Harvard Law and becoming one of the foremost constotutional lawyers in the country. He was also a millionaire before he took office. Now, please blow the whistle around your neck so the tard wrangler can come tuck you into your weighted blanket.
## Speaker_2: ##
>U.S. Fucking Senator
.
>a millionaire before he took office
Cmon baby, let's see if you can connect the dots. Obama, "You didn't create that wealth". Obama has never created any actual wealth. Being a fucking senator, doesn't create wealth in the private sector. But yes, constitutional expert, as he expands the surveillance state and taking a giant shit on the 4th. FISA Courts, are you kidding me???

Doesn't matter if it's priced in or not, if Tesla doesn't start pumping out profitable cars that people want to buy, they're going out of business; their cash burn is unsustainable and they've exhausted every possible trick to raise cash (roadster and truck pre-orders, what a bunch of gullible rich assholes)

You autistic fags. Leveraged ETFs gain supposedly can’t be calculated by an end of year percentage on the graph
## Speaker_0: ##
You need to use geometric return with leveraged ETFs (you should use it with all gain/loss calculations actually).
Call me out if I'm wrong here, but if you take the geometric return of the past year:
Nov 15: 1.023
Nov 16: .996
Nov 17: 1.014
Nov 18: .993
etc...
Multiply each one then raise to 1/251 (251 period) and subtract 1, you get a return of 0.21%
This is why long hold leveraged ETFs are bad, because of beta decay. Each 1% drop basically needs 1.1% return to get back to 0.
In August alone there was a seven day span where SPXL dropped 4% in two different days. That requires a ~4.5% return just to get back to even.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But why is this logic specific to leveraged ETFs? I believe any stock that drops a certain percentage needs a slightly higher percentage to return to what it was
## Speaker_0: ##
Because of the leverage.
Most stocks don't move +/-2% a day. Leveraged ETFs do. A 0.5% loss on QQQ is no big deal, but that's a 1.5% loss on TQQQ (in theory)
## Walls1337bot: ##
Idk.. I just don’t believe 0.21 is the actual return over a year. I may need to put some money in the stock and track it

Weird. I had no idea police entered schools.
## Speaker_1: ##
They do. About 40% of schools have police “resource officers” or something to that effect. The worse part is that parents and kids don’t even know that they shouldn’t talk to them. With that said. Many people hardly know about not talking to police on the street. But it seems even fewer people know that about cops in schools.
Edit: what I meant by “talk” was in the context of an investigation. Not friendly banter or whatever.
## Speaker_2: ##
Not American and did not follow school shootings closely. Assuming your comment is not a joke, why should you NOT talk to cops?
## Walls1337bot: ##
It's not just an American thing. Cops have a huge amount of power over you and a small percentage of cops are bad people who became cops to abuse that power. Talking to them will open up opportunities for them to fuck you over.
Basically talking to a random cop is roughly equivalnt of going into the woods at night with a random person. I mean sure most random people aren't going to murder you, but the one who wants to gets a big opportunity alone in the woods.
Cops are dangerous. More dangerous than any crime in my city at any rate.
## Speaker_3: ##
Wow, that's a little melodramatic.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not really, a cop banged on my door and arrested me when he had the wrong aparment then made up a story about me threatening him to cover his massive fuck up, and his partner backed him up.
I'm a middle class white person though so I just got to pay 10k to a lawyer to make the cop look like a jackass.
It was extremely traumatic for me and I'm otherwise an upstanding citizen. So yeah. Melodramatic until it's not.
## Speaker_4: ##
I asked a random cop a question, and despite me clearly being underaged and probably at least slightly visibly intoxicated, he answered my question in a friendly manner, and I went on my merry way. Anecdotes don't often provide the soundest evidence.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Except we're talking about risk. I didn't say every police officer was bad, but doing what you did was a risk, and couldve easily ended very badly for doing nothing wrong.
## Speaker_4: ##
Risk is statistically pretty low I'd water. I'd look up statistics, but I'll leave the burden of proof on you since you made the claim.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I mean, do what you want, police officers are dangerous and I'll keep my distance.
As a whole police officers have not earned my respect.

Everythings safe and fine till it's not. The illusion of safety society projects into us as children is wrong. You can die a million and one ways, and going out of your way to play in traffic, provoke animals, pick fights, or invest in snapchat are dangerous, just because you got lucky 100 times before in 100 1 in 100 chances doesn't mean that this 1 in 100 chance won't astoundingly fuck you over.

Take the loss now. You only have one day until expiration, and it will take a fucking serious crash just to make your options move. Even if the SPX doesn't move, you'll just keep losing more money as time goes on until it's worthless. I don't remember which greek it is, but every tick counts for basically nothing because you're this close to expiration.
It sucks to stare at that much and realize that it's all gone. I haven't lost as much as you, but I've stared at 6 digits and was praying for a comeback also. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and accept that you were wrong on this one -- at least selling now will recover SOMETHING instead of slowly watching it die.

## Walls1337bot: ##
As long as the US is posturing China won't give in. They'll open their markets to others instead. The best hope the US had of countering China was the TPP. Instead China will use the opportunity to play others off against the US.
## Speaker_0: ##
China has set the ground work of a "free trade" narrative. They cant just come out and say "okay u.s. our ecomony is dependent on yours, we succumb to your demands" theyre gonna talk tough, make statesments like fair trade then back into a deal with the u.s. and appear like this was their plan all along.

Edit: Btw I can't help but consider the insanity of the fact that people are accusing me of being too much of a leftie for arguing for the merits of a free trade deal and opposing tariffs on our allies.
## Speaker_1: ##
You put too much faith in allies. Its politics. We're the flavor of the month so others are nice to us but give it 40-80+ years when the global economy is closing in on us and suddenly it matters a lot that we get bigger bills to trade than anyone else. It will bleed us out of our position as a global leader and then another country takes charge. Lets also be mindful of the ignorant view that these forgien powers are reasonable or progressive as well. We need to stay in the lead because we are still the most progressive power. Most of the living world is a dump full of horrible ideologies.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> when the global economy is closing in on us and suddenly it matters a lot that we get bigger bills to trade than anyone else
But this is simply not true, among our allies we levy slightly (but not much) higher tariffs than most. Also TPP and TTIP were quite favorable to the US. I'd take all these arguments a lot more seriously if they weren't complete fabrications by Trump which are now being unquestioningly parroted.

## Speaker_1: ##
Well it had nothing to do with trading that’s for sure.
Red pill taught me many things that my father neglected to teach me.
That it’s my job to pursue women
that it’s expected of me to be sexual
if I don’t pursue sex that instead of making women feel comfortable that it makes them uncomfortable.
It taught me what hypergamy is, and made me realize my own assets and how to improve upon them.
I went from being 26 and only having sex a couple times, to being constantly laid if I so desired it. I was a 6’6” head bouncer in a nightclub and I had zero game what so ever and TRP changed that for the immensely better.
I’m not a sexist, or a misogynist, but trp taught me the way the world works and how to live in the world as a man and to enjoy the relationships between men and women.
I went from being borderline suicidal and just a wreck emotionally to being extremely happy and confident. It was trp that 1000% made that change in me by reading what is there and what is discussed.
The reason I went to trp was that I ruined just ruined a fantastic relationship with a gorgeous 19year old woman because I didn’t pursue sex and was more interested in an emotional connection because I thought it was the right way to go. I still hate myself for that, but I know it was due to ignorance.

Weird how those idiots want wide open borders, but complain when business folks have access to broader markets.. hence becoming much richer. They don't even understand their own policy directions.
## Speaker_1: ##
On the flip side, it fucking annoys me how t_d people act like immigration is the worst
Is there a way I can long illegal immigration
I wish I could get Nintendo stock on RH
## Speaker_2: ##
Illegal* Immigration is the worst
## Speaker_1: ##
I can sorta understand people not liking wide open borders and wanting tariffs because of Chinese currency manipulation and other sneaky shit like that, but it's difficult for me to understand why people are complaining that Mexicans are coming to pick our fruit.
Like, if the legality is the problem, then just expand work visa programs. If not keeping track of them is the problem, then expand work visas and keep track of them.
I like cheap labor, foreign workers like economic opportunities that are unavailable to them in their home country. Shit, we could tax them, too. It's a win-win-win.
But since our government isn't gonna do jack shit to improve the situation, illegal labor it is.
## Speaker_3: ##
Do you understand supply and demand? You understand labor follows the laws of supply and demand right?
More labor supply, less quantity of workers demanded, lower wages because more labor competition, smaller piece of the economic pie for everyone.
Think of it like a pizza party. You buy 2 large pizzas for you and 5 friends. Let's say these pizzas have 12 slices each. That's 24 slices for 6 people, 4 slices each. Now let's say a couple friends bring extra people along and there is now 12 people total at your party. More people equals less pay for workers because someone will always take less pay to secure a job.
Now, in this example, you can buy more pizza, but in the national economy, more jobs need to be created and that takes time and resources. The illegals from Mexico aren't bringing anything with them, they are only consuming, not creating. California is the 6th largest economy in the world and the state government is on the verge of declaring bankruptcy because its welfare system and infrastructure is overloaded. They are currently talking about removing pensions because they can't afford to both pay for the baby boomers' pensions and pay for illegal's welfare.
Illegals will also accept under-the-table pay that American citizens can't compete with because the illegal's wages are lower than minimum wage. This will drive everyone in America to a lower standard of living having less money to purchase things in the long run. That means less money for the average American to spend on goods and services, which will lower the overall profit margin of all companies, pushing them to close. It's already happening to small businesses along the border. Now that's an extreme example in regards to the entire country, but unchecked mass immigration would cause exactly that. Unchecked mass immigration will literally destroy an economy.
You say you like cheap labor and that's fucking stupid. Labor should never be cheap otherwise households can't afford to buy anything from companies. What happens to a company when they can't sell anything?
Labor and wages should be fair, not cheap, otherwise the entire economic balance between households and firms will fall apart.
Literally basic economics.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm sure if you want to go pick fruit with the Mexicans for $5 a day you'd be welcome.
Illegals getting paid less doesn't drive my standard of living down. It actually drives it up, because I only have to pay 35 cents for an orange instead of the dollar it would cost if it was being picked by someone getting paid minimum wage, or whatever. More money in my pocket.
There's plenty of work for immigrants to perform, and they do it for less than Americans do. This is an economic opportunity to take advantage of, not a threat.
You can make more pizza.
Edit: Nowhere did I say we should have unchecked mass immigration. I said we should expand work visa programs, which is kind of literally the opposite. We should try to get all the people who are already working here, to be under some kind of visa so that we're not living with national cognitive dissonance about kinda-sorta-ignoring-the-law-because-it's-economically-better.
Every time in history that we've had mass immigration - not unchecked, but mass regardless - we experienced a gigantic surge of economic growth. Are there growing pains, yeah, but on the balance, the country as a whole came out on top.
The ONLY thing you really need is some level of social assimilation. Black segregation caused a tremendous amount of long-term cultural fracturing and harm. You come here, you become an American, you work hard, you live better than you did in the old country. Thus it has always been and thus it should always be.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You realize a majority of veggies and fruits come from other countries. It's cheaper than American sources. Go look at the labels in the grocery store.
Unfortunately we don't live in the time of the industrial revolution. More and more areas are becoming specialized and automation more important. This means skills and educated workers are needed or workers can be trained. If you have people coming that don't know the language or even illiterate the only jobs they can do are the ones that will most likely be gone within a few decades at the most.
The problem with letting them in is why would we want people from South American when we can have Europeons or Asians come in and be better qualified for every job the ones crossing illegally are. So many people want to come that why is it fair that others get to come in illegally then stay?
Anyone that say illegal immigration is okay has loss touch with reality. Breaking the law just to get in, means they should be punished just like any regular citizen that breaks the law. The justification that they want a better life is not a good reasoning. Would you be okay if I broke in and stole all your valuables so I could feed my family tonight? No, why not I have just the same justification. Everyone must be held accountable under the law unless you think some people are more equal than others and well then that's how you get situations like genocide.

What time are earnings? You plan on selling right after?
## Speaker_1: ##
Today after hours. Usually means 5-5:30. If they miss I'll sell right away no matter what guidance says. If they hit you should almost never sell same day. Only a small percentage can buy after hours so until market open the stock can't fully take off. That's one of the benefits of being able to buy and sell after hours, you can get in or out before most of the public. I'll sell tomorrow sometime if they hit earnings. I'm not after a long investment just a gamble and hopefully a quick 5%+ profit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
How do you sell after hours if it's a miss?
## Speaker_1: ##
You have to have an account that allows you to sell after hours to start. Then I wait for the earnings conference call to start and I setup a stop limit loss. If you setup the stop limit loss prior to the call starting it might get hit prematurely as there's usually huge sell offs from people who don't want to play the earnings. Then listen to the earnings conference call and if hits I pop the bubbly, if it misses then I take the bubbly back to the store and return it.

Two things you need to understand brochacho:
1. the beautiful thing about digital advertising (for products) is you can measure the performance with precision that isn't available to old-school TV, radio, and billboard ads. Especially what is called "direct response" ads. If I buy ads on for my artisanal memory foam mattress company on FB and Instagram, I can measure things at every step of the funnel and know exactly how much it costs to acquire a customer. If that cost is lower than my product margin, I can make a profit. (I buy the mattress for $80 on Alibaba; sell it for $900; if I have to spend $150 in ads per sale, that's fine)
2. a lot of advertising is "brand advertising". Mostly big companies do it but so do smaller ones.

What the fuck is this? Did you really think that you were going to waltz into the stock market, pick a few internet tips, buy and sell on the reg, and become a millionaire?
We might be faggots, but the people making money in this industry work harder in one day than you have in your entire life. If you aren't reading financial statements, market movements, prospectus, letters, then you aren't a trader, your a shit stain that we take money from.

I didn't say it was a prank. I said some pranks cost more. I agree it's fraud. I don't know the defining threshold but since, say $100, isn't that much it's most likely a misdemeanor and not felony fraud. No federal assets were used (like mail) and its relatively small.

Bonds
## Speaker_1: ##
On a serious note, wouldn't it be a good time to pick up bonds as a long play? Illinois has one of the highest per capita tax revenues in the country. If they default on payments it's more because they don't have a budget and can't disperse the money rather than not having he funds, no?
ETA: just looked it up, they have a tax revenue of close to $40 billion a year. Funds payable backlog is ~$15 billion
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wrong! Pension program is underfunded by almost a trillion dollars. They haven't passed a budget in 2 years. They are going to be the first state to default. This is the catalyst to the next major downturn in the market. Timeframe 5-7 years.
## Speaker_2: ##
We are going to have a collapse of the bond market. reasoning? Bonds are too overpriced and the yields are shit. Once fed starts to empty the balance sheet, a crush in bond prices will start. It already started when trump was elected. As people dump their bonds, equity markets will get fluffed higher with nowhere to put money for growth. Then a crash might happen once people decide we've run too high.
## Walls1337bot: ##
We are going to collapse the entire market. You can't run a state like Illinois is running itself. They have no regard for money and can't even pass a budget. When the 25 million plus people in there state pension program start to retire and realize it's over 60% underfunded. That's going to be bad. They will default on their debt. They will need a bailout for there pension program. And it's going to be bad.

## Speaker_1: ##
[deleted]
## Speaker_2: ##
His family immigrates from Albania, a communist shit hole. They settle in New York, where his parents work menial jobs to support their family, versus taking a welfare check. He gets an internship working at a hedge fund around ~17, then becomes an associate to a wealth management firm. Soon after opens his own hedge fund, a small one, but one nonetheless. His interest in pharmaceuticals might have been inspired by a relative that has treatment-resistant depression (but I'm not 100%), regardless he transitions to start a biotech company. Patents a drug he created. Turned that company into a multi million (maybe billion) dollar company. He tries to bring to market drugs specifically for rare diseases, that the GILD's of the world have no care for, because there's no incentive for them to help 10,000s of people. His success wasn't the result of handouts, but the merit of his abilities. All that success by 33.
Then the media/government take something that he does out of context, which initially seemed fucking awful, but guess what? There's two sides to every story. The media however, conveniently disregarded there could be more to the story and proceed to villainize him.
But yeah, he's 'not really' an example of the American Dream.

Why can you make so much money betting that this stock won't move 50% in two weeks? Isn't that a pretty safe bet? The fuck am I missing
## Speaker_1: ##
The company has results for a phase 3 drug trial due out sometime before the end of December. As far as I know nobody knows exactly when they are due out. Theoretically the stock could have significant movement once those results are out.
Effectively you are making 2 bets with this:
1 - those results won't come out until after the options expire.
2- if the results come out before the options expire that those results won't cause the stock to go outside of your strike prices.
I personally think it's as close to a safe play as you can get while still being lucrative. If you are more risk adverse/hungry you can move the strike prices around and collect more or less premium.
Shalom
## Speaker_2: ##
Should be out in 2 weeks. Stats takes 4-6 weeks, data received on 10/26, I believe. So by 12/7 results should be released.
## Speaker_3: ##
Decay may make it worthwhile.

90 hours a week is 15 hours a day if you work on the saturday too. You are telling me you are working 7 to 10 every single day ? Do you eat at work ? Do you have a wife ? Do you have a life ? How do you do laundry, or clean the apartment, you probably don't even have time to take a shower. Why even bother making 6 figures if you don't have time to spend it
## Speaker_1: ##
Great questions. I work every day, including Sunday. If a deal is live sometimes you work until 2-4 in the morning. Sometimes all night. It's not an easy job.
Banks provide dinner and Ubers home for free which is nice. I do not have a wife or girlfriend, not focusing on that until I'm older.
I do have a life. I have a lot of friends and when I don't have to work the next day I go out and stuff. Laundry/dry cleaning is annoying but I just get it on the way to work on Saturday.
Yes I have time to shower lmao it's not that bad.
It's not about making 6 figures that's why I said don't do it for the money. You do it to accelerate your career and because you think it's interesting work. Typically people do 2 years and get out, go to a job with a better lifestyle.
## Speaker_2: ##
Lol this is the kind of crap I hear burnouts in their 30s say before they hang themselves. "Dude it's only for a couple years and it's such a great lifestyle to work all day".

## Walls1337bot: ##
I get what your saying but increased life expectancy doesn't alter your life experience during your 20s. Yes people are getting married/having kids later in their life times which extends this period. It does come down to what motivates you and your value placed on work/life balance (hate that term but best describes it) in your early years.

Reading his book was a huge turning point for me personally, in the sense of creating consistency. He has lots of youtube videos too discussing his analysis as well as approach to trading.
## Speaker_2: ##
Just ordered it from Amazon. Doesn't TD Ameritrade have a practice trader as well? I've got a job lined up for next year when I graduate, but currently only have money left over is from my internship this summer so think it may be best to just practice methods learned until I start my career and have a flow of income.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Think or Swim (through TD) has a function called OnDemand where you can stream any symbol from any time frame in the past and paper trade it as if it's happening real time, it's a little shotty for trying to practice trading option contracts, but it's great for practicing on stock. Ha hope you learn a lot from the book!
## Speaker_2: ##
Thanks, I'll likely use that. May follow up with some PMs after I read the book if thats cool with you
## Walls1337bot: ##

i searched long and hard for a job that paid more than break even, but the northeastern USA is basically too expensive if you want to have a sliver of fun in your 20s

Really? I don't see any video website even possesses the potential to overthrow YouTube right now. I know one never knows in the tech industry, but right now they don't even have any decent challenge. Well, unless Google closes them as they can't cap the losses.
## Speaker_3: ##
I mean YouTube is run at a loss and Alphabet/Google pays for it and keeps it open for collecting user data. Which means a YouTube competitor needs to be financed by a a massive company that can take a hit. I think Amazon might turn Twitch into a competitor.

Trying to understand options.
This is the call option you are recommending correct?
Have you considered a put play for SWHC?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes, he's recommending call options for ADSK.
The point of the trade is that implied volatility is low, because the stock has been consolidating within a tight range, and may breakout, since that $59 support is pretty solid.
SWHC volatility is high, since it just shot up 11%, and the market is expecting large swings. When volatility is high, you're paying a higher premium for the options, thereby taking on more risk. You'll need the stock to move higher to reach your break-even price.
Comparison: Jan 15 '16 ATM calls for ADSK & SWHC
* option price ADSK = $1.32 | SWHC = $1.30
* IV% ADSK = 29% | SWHC = 50%
* Stock Price ADSK = $60.39 | SWHC = $25.90
## Speaker_0: ##
Thank you. I am thinking about picking up that call tomorrow or am I too late?
## Walls1337bot: ##
For ADSK? No, but keep in mind you have 11 trading days for it to move to $62-$64. With this type of short play it either pays off well or you lose 100% what you put in (unless you can manage to sell while its only down ~20%-50%).
There's plenty of low volatility stocks in consolidation, you just have to screen for them. This post got me interested and I started a screener on eTrade PRO for high volume stocks in tight consolidation and low volatility. JNJ came up, and it looks interesting. Its been trading between $100 and $110 since April 2014 (ignoring that August drop). If they come out w stellar earnings that could start a breakout to all-time highs, if the overall market is rebounding too. Point is, don't feel like you need to make any trade because of the FOMO (fear of missing out). There's always going to be trades like this. Maybe it'll be good to put up $500 on these ADSK options just to see how it goes, for the learning experience.
## Speaker_0: ##
Thanks for the clarification.
Just to be clear, the closer it gets to the sell date the more valuable it becomes correct? Or are we specifically only looking for the highest point the stock will rise to say -- $65 and then exercise the option?
I guess what I am saying is, does it pay to hang on to it to the last minute or should a person "get out" if they see a reasonable profit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Complete opposite of that.
> Just to be clear, the closer it gets to the sell date the more valuable it becomes correct?
No. Firstly, I think you mean "Expiration Date". Option prices change in relation to the underlying stock. Option prices ALSO gradually decline because of "time decay". If a call option has a strike price above the stock price, its "out of the money" and has no "intrinsic value" (Stock price - strike price). So the option price is entirely time decay and premium, and the price approaches $0 as it approaches the Expiration Date. Even if a call option is "in-the-money" the price will decline and approach the intrinsic value, unless the stock keeps rising quickly.
> I guess what I am saying is, does it pay to hang on to it to the last minute or should a person "get out" if they see a reasonable profit.
Most options expire worthless. Think about that. Options are mostly used by the pros as either a hedge against a short or long position, or as an income strategy.
If you're in profit from a call or put option, sell them and run. Don't let it wait until the expiration date. I believe if your options are "in-the-money" and they go past expiration, they get automatically exercised, and you purchase 100 shares of the underlying stock.
You should really read some intro material on options before spending money on them. Checkout dough.com, maybe some youtube videos or those TDAmeritrade / eTrade training videos. Also, learn about the "Greeks" of options. Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho (no, Vega is not a greek letter). Delta is the amount the option price changes in relation to a $1 move of the underlying stock. Theta is what you were sort of asking about, its the time decay of the option.

I'm not a doctor but their whole idea involves not crossing the blood brain barrier which is where addiction stems from. Dosing really doesn't matter and in fact higher dosages can actually lower efficacy.

Umm, care to explain that? You're talking about cr845 right? Because the data released today suggests increasing dose from 2.5 to 5mg does increase efficacy.

IV crush and theta decay my dude. 100% chance those $250s are worthless Friday. 0% chance AAPL will go up 18% by Friday. You’re betting that AAPLs market cap will increase by $187 billion, which is more than the entire market cap of Disney.
Sure its “only” $175, but put that $175 in puts for downside protection if youre gonna burn money.

Shopify goes up, when companies are investing in their own growth, utilizing Shopify’s services. If we get a recession, which many CEOs are planning on, their revenue will dramatically decrease, which is why you saw that drop. You may be right, but realize you’re betting that both a recession won’t happen, and that recession fears will die down, before your calls expire.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well not really they use Shopify as a platform to sell and take payment, so if companies want to stay in business they need to use it. It's not really based on growth of existing customers.
## Speaker_2: ##
Many small businesses use Shopify to see if their business will work online. After it proves worthwhile, it often makes sense to build your own. I like SHOP, but companies definitely outgrow it and/or can save money by building their own e-commerce sites. Sometimes it's worthwhile to do that before the hard times hit as it can save ~2% just in transactional fees.
## Walls1337bot: ##
This is false. SHOPs target customer doesn’t outgrow and build their own. Gtfo.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm a dev. I've moved many Shopify customers into other systems over the years. But, and I mean this, I fucking [❤️ SHOP. Suck ��, Citron!](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/75n0v8/lets_talk_shop_about_shitron/) Cheers ��
## Walls1337bot: ##
Just because you’ve moved a handful of ppl off SHOP doesn’t make it status quo. Most e-commerce businesses realize their competitive advantage is around customer acquisition and the product. Given SHOP’s flexibility with Liquid and App Store, most don’t even bother building their own. Fuck off, you’re a shitty dev.
## Speaker_2: ##
Look at my comment history, dipshit. I lead development at a Fortune 500. Before that, I lead a dev team at a media consultancy firm. At the latter, we probably moved close to a hundred businesses off Shopify toward better systems. But, tbf, that was a while ago, and Shopify has improved, which is why I was willing to throw $75k into shares 1.5 years ago.
That said, your assumptions are idiotic. Toodles.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lol dev team at media consultant firm... trash dev
## Speaker_2: ##
Says the presumptive, probably shitty dev...
Also, there were/are amazing devs at both of my latest jobs. Some are the same devs I brought with me. When there are a few hundred devs, there will always be a few that are great.
Again, your assumptions are idiotic.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But media consultant devs are lowest tier. If you could work at the best tech company in the world you would. That is a fact.
## Speaker_2: ##
�� yeah, that's fair. Our firm was good, but not even close to AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, FB, or AMZN levels of good. Many of our devs ended up at those places, tho. So, we were still significantly better than your average shitty media firm that outsources. Cheers.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Ok I’m done trolling. I’m sure you’re a great dev and really successful at what you do. In regards to SHOP, I guess only time will tell. Good luck with those puts ;)
