### Comment: Got it - fixed my link above btw, I realized I linked to your FB play and not the AMZN play. [http://opcalc.com/eZgk](http://opcalc.com/eZgk) In your experience, is it best to open the straddle as close as the trading price as possible before market close?

### Comment: CORNING [GLW] TO THE MOOOOON - you should do an episode on how these shitters got so caught up in the semiconductor / cpu / GPU trend they forgot about how the motherfuckers communicate with each other and display what is being processed through them. ### REPLY: Corning traded at over $100 summer of 2000. This company has been around forever and isn't going anywhere soon. Love the Corning Museum of Glass they funded as well (I used to blow glass). Seeing an old glass company innovating and adapting to knew tech while preserving it's artistic/historical side gives me good feelings deep in my scrotum. They teach all kinds of great glass blowing classes and make our cell screens... Pretty fuckin cool. ### END.
### Comment: “Industry” is a bit of a push. ### REPLY: Maybe in the broad scope of art, but just about anyone in the animation, movie, comic, creative industry uses it. Actually I take that back even In the broad scope of the art industry everyone uses instagram or should be. ### END.

### Comment: im a povertyfag and am now blown-the-fuck-out, so im not gonna touch this shit again... even if I **could** afford the calls. ### REPLY: Probably for the best. It’ll just go the opposite way of whatever side you take. That’s the ways this all works ### END.
### Comment: I am too. I really believed the comcast post about a month ago saying the only reason they've dropped from 40 was all the leverage they were risking trying to buy Fox. Now that they've backed out, I'm thinking they'll just rebound back up ### REPLY: I agree with the rebound, and made money off some short term calls based on that post. However, I don't think the mention of that deal has anything to do with this earnings report. ### END.
### Comment: Faggy Ds? Or a week or two out? ### REPLY: Oh FD for sure..I wouldn't be a degenerate if it was any farther out. ### END.

Been both fucked (buying shit at the day high price) or pleasant surprised. Might as well try to have some contorl. ### END.
### Comment: LOL good luck with that (myspace, AOL, etc. would beg to differ). And ingrained in what society? some small subset of it maybe (and that's being generous). ### REPLY: MySpace wasn't even close to being ingrained into society. ### END.
### Comment: Yes we can you dumbass, it’s the moons gravitational pull. ### REPLY: Similarly, the moon goes up and down and you can’t explain that either. ### END.
### Comment: Oh no Facebook is not growing fast enough. I guess people gave up on the internet thing altogether... ### REPLY: Right? I doubled down on my $93 PYPL 8/17s, hopefully I can ditch them sometime next week for a wash alltogether. ### END.

### Comment: It's already starting to recover ### REPLY: dead cat says hi ### END.
### Comment: I bought GM Sept calls and they're up 100%. How is that a backfire? ### REPLY: ' GM, Ford, Whirlpool, are all suffering ' ' I bought GM Sept calls and they're up 100%. ' Choose one. Either Trade Wars are Good and Easy to Win or Ch33to is ruining the economy. ### END.
### Comment: I guess thats why they have so much competition right? ### REPLY: facebook at its core is easy to replicate. the problem is the billion user concurrency and getting to that number. ### END.
### Comment: For 10k CAD you can get an igloo and that's pretty real imo ### REPLY: Eh it’s it Canada. Not real ### END.

### Comment: like literally every meaningful stat in their report is higher than Q1 of this year, and considerably higher than Q2 of 2017. I don't get it. i mean, sure, it's maybe not as MUCH bigger as they'd hoped, but they beat EPS expectations... I could see a 5% decline... but fucking 20% is insane. I don't feel like that level of sell-off is at all justified. ### REPLY: Tesla vs Ford. ### END.

### Comment: You should open your own shitty forum website, maybe you can beat their $40B in revenue. ### REPLY: What's PHBbb's valuation? Oh wait. Also Whatsapp uses XMPP which is a fucking ancient protocol. ### END.
### Comment: I kinda had a racket going: I'd ride up to the rich neighborhood and caddy at the country club for all the VPs and trust fund babies, get a good banter going with them, then convince them to hire me to cut their grass or clear out brush/trees at their houses. I'd go on about how I'm working hard to save up and invest, they fucking loved it. I'm still on regular speaking terms with a former Walgreens VP that I met there, he wrote me a recommendation when I was applying for MBA programs. ### REPLY: Country clubs are where the deals are made. ### END.
### Comment: I bought 3 8/10 and 3 8/31 contracts at 177 strike. :( Should i hold? ### REPLY: no, sell when you’re down 70%. fucking autist how about you think twice before asking questions ### END.
### Comment: it's $11 a trade ### REPLY: jesus christ you're an absolute joy to converse with ### END.
### Comment: I’m retarded so please forgive me, but Amazon’s retail would be pretty negligible - right? I’d imagine that’d be a blimp in their earnings report, especially considering they exceeded prime day earnings by several hundred million. ### REPLY: Prime Day is not part of Q2, so that wouldn't affect this ER. ### END.
### Comment: How badly are you wishing you started a week later? I commend you for jumping right into options and skipping the boring shit. ### REPLY: I was trading stocks before I started options but different broker. Had a 40% return which I thought was great from stocks. Overall I like to think I know what I’m doing but clearly as autistic and greedy as the next guy. I think I’ll learn, got greedy and didn’t think this scenario would be possible. ### END.

### Comment: Never gonna hit. You'd have better luck throw 3 hundos at a scratcher ### REPLY: Think it's just $3 - these puts are $0.03. Or were. Now they're 1 penny with 3 volume (pretty sure just all the people in this thread). But I agree - $3 for scratchers still better than this play. ### END.
