### Comment: Aaaaand it's gone. ### REPLY: Someone did a strange trade after hours. Should be up at open. ### END.
### Comment: $11.17 🦄 ### REPLY: My man! ### END.
### Comment: I think it’ll look more like the tech bubble actually. I know it’s not terribly smart, but I lose sleep over losing $100 on an options gamble. If I lost 5% of my retirement i have no idea how I’d feel or what I’d do. ### REPLY: This is dumb. You’re not actively trading your 401k so who cares. If you’re not retiring for the next < 10 years, are you really that worried if the market corrects? ### END.
### Comment: Can't believe I'm the only one who sees this great opportunity. ### REPLY: People said that at .80 .16 then rs now we’re here again .80 can’t go any lower can it? Yes it can, it would stand a longer chance if Robinhood supported it but without RH this will go back to .10 pretty quickly. ### END.
### Comment: I’m guessing people are down voting you because they haven’t seen the episode and don’t get the reference to “nigger guy” Hang in there bud ### REPLY: Redditors are just a bunch of pussies when it comes to the word nigger. But yeah they obviously didn't see the episode. ### END.
### Comment: Because it is. There are about 17 billion reasons why TSLA won't go to $10, most of which include them getting bought out Your worse case scenario is that Elon gets a hard on for fucking everyone over and refuses to sell, which is certainly possible as he's still the majority stakeholder. ### REPLY: I thought he was levered on alot of his shares with one of the big investment banks ### END.
### Comment: Why would he bail at 3% from ath? He'd rather wait for a dip to get better tendies for his money ### REPLY: Why wait for a dip if you expect it to go up in the future? ### END.
### Comment: rip ### REPLY: [me right now seeing my calls go down](https://media1.tenor.com/images/2ea6603f2637d24083d6a58f27499f2e/tenor.gif?itemid=7551120) ### END.
### Comment: Is that why their platform is built around bigotry against gays and foreigners and they elected an alleged rapist to the white house? Please tell me more. I’m sure your idiotic logic will totally make sense. ### REPLY: Again, uninformed sheep led into lies. ### END.

### Comment: One idiot is expected. Tens of thousands is concerning. ### REPLY: well, there's 300k idiots on this sub alone, so I mean ### END.
### Comment: If a grocery store didn't take Visa I would just go to the next one half a mile away. ### REPLY: And I’d leave all the shit I was gonna buy at the check stand. Now they have to waste time putting it away. For wasting my time, I’d probably go back the next day and fill a cart of frozen shit and leave it by the rotisserie chickens. ### END.
### Comment: [I'm at work, please don't make me REEEEEEE uncontrollably.](http://www.infometrics.co.nz/fees-free-grades/) ### REPLY: Haha love it. Man incompetence is rampant here. Probably everywhere else too. “Next year is on us” was my favourite. ### END.
### Comment: So go all in, drop your cash in it. I wouldn't invest in that. Too small of a market, a shrinking market really. As yuppie professional jobs become more and more flooded they'll pay less. It's already happening. The only things that are going to make money are things that regular people need and use. ### REPLY: That's some high school level of education right there ### END.
### Comment: Why does no one talk about illumina here? ### REPLY: She’s still safe. We don’t talk about her. ### END.
### Comment: Whew. IM GONNA MAKE IT HUGE! how? ### REPLY: That's enough capital to invest in proper ways and be set for life...diversification and real cash flow...why press your luck mate... ### END.

### Comment: Trust fund, lottery, settlements. Tons of ways for idiots to make money. ### REPLY: TIL I’m not stupid enough to make money /r/iamverysmart ### END.
### Comment: What's your typical profit percentage on LEAPs? New to options - this seems the most sensible way in for a guy like me...especially on dip-days ### REPLY: Well it depends how well the stock does obviously but I tend to cash out around 60-100% on leaps (they tend to hit this percentage a few weeks early) and buy further out higher strike leaps then and repeat the process, ### END.
### Comment: What day to day bull shit? It's a phone. Work at a company that services Apple products and I have personally used Android for years. At this point the OS is the only difference and both have their positives and negatives ### REPLY: The difference is Android is a signal of peasantry ### END.
### Comment: This is such a good stock. On top of that, we've got a sweet little dividend. I've just been buying deep itm long calls and buying up shares with the profits. ### REPLY: Why deep ITM? ### END.
### Comment: Yup thats what im figuring. Picked up 2k of 9/21 $185 calls. ### REPLY: Let’s say FB gos back to $200 how much do you stand to make? ### END.
### Comment: No it's made out of hummus ### REPLY: “Are you human?” “Senator........ my team will follow up with further info.” *BOOSTER SEAT INTENSIFIES* ### END.
### Comment: Seems very Ted Nugent-y. ### REPLY: yez. yes it duz ### END.
### Comment: Go. They play Go in China. ### REPLY: $GOOG invented AI that taught another AI to play Go. No fuckin wonder they’re trying to out-AI us, we out here ruining Go for them... ### END.

### Comment: I take a bit of time out of my day to not be a sarcastic autist, so I'll actually check the book out. It legit sounds interesting. Thanks for the rec ### REPLY: [PDF of the book if anyones interested](https://davidbeitler.com/temp/The%20Millionaire%20Next%20Door%20%5BBook%5D-MANTESH.PDF.pdf) ### END.
### Comment: And last October you could just chuck money at calls on anything and make bank. It was also supposed to be the most volatile month and VIX was like 11 the whole time ### REPLY: I remember that. All the old dudes and experts were going 'ooooo october gonna be spooooky' and nothing happened ### END.
### Comment: Exactly, I also bought $47 GM calls, and went back in on T-- slightly further expiry but way further OTM. Also buying ATVI, TTWO, and EA might be retarded since there's a likelyhood that the aggressive rotation out of tech/growth might continue hard tomorrow. I'm hoping it bounces a bit though. ### REPLY: Swung T calls from Friday, cashed out up 300%, could have held a bit longer but gains are gains (cashed out at $31.70-ish, sad). Contrary to what most people think, I like GM calls with expiry in the October or further range. I’d wait for ATVI/TTWO/EA to consolidate before getting in on calls but that’s just me. Could see a pop tomorrow. Then again, risky time for calls with this big earnings week. Good luck ### END.
### Comment: \^ this guy gets dick-sucking logistics. ### REPLY: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/92d4cg/can_we_start_banning_people_who_posts_gains_or/e35ebb8/ ### END.
### Comment: I just rebel against mommy and daddy by developing the same personality disorders they have and using it against them. ### REPLY: Joke's on my dad. I'm a mamma's boy. Early onset dementia and casual alcoholism, here I come! ### END.
### Comment: And then one of us would say 'I am not a pedo and am considering a defamation suit!' and then do nothing and slink away into the shadows... ### REPLY: TFW you find out what 'discovery' is ### END.
### Comment: What a shame that people lost their life savings. There ought to be a disclaimer somewhere to let people know that stocks may lose value. ### REPLY: LIES, you just want to keep all the tendies for yourself. ### END.
### Comment: Are you implying that TSLA investors use options as hedging tools and not for speculative trading!?! ### REPLY: 😱 ### END.
### Comment: Why? ### REPLY: shits better yo ### END.

### Comment: This dude would go broke. ### REPLY: I sure did ### END.
### Comment: My favorite breakfast ### REPLY: The best ### END.
### Comment: Not raising rates could rally markets. A decent jobs report could rally markets. I'm not sure why you seem to think otherwise. ### REPLY: Markets been acting badly to positive economic news over the past 7 months or so, ever since the vol spike correction in the first quarter. I think the markets is very fearful of interest rate hikes. ### END.
### Comment: If that surfboard bullshit doesn't scream 'desperation' to you, then you are mentally retarded. ### REPLY: I dont rhink its desperation. Elon has a lot of cash to burn before he is desperate. Just a marketing thing. ### END.
### Comment: Except they are divesting from semis because they forecast market demand for memory to wane FY 2019-2020.. which is why nobody’s buying MU rn. ### REPLY: I don't understand how anyone can think that. SSDs are close to being cost-competitive with HDDs at which point demand will spike. ### END.
### Comment: It bounced 164 to 185 after hours, and then 170 to 180 right at open on Thursday ### REPLY: You act like you knew what the trading range before it happened. Truth is no one knows these movements. The volume was insane. You can't predict that shit.. Don't act like there's professional scalpers in here and know how to trade a volatile , high volume range like that. You let it settle then enter. ### END.
### Comment: [ok](https://i.imgur.com/6P37jSp.png) ### REPLY: I have a short term GM call.... Maybe should have gone long term. ### END.
### Comment: Thanks for providing an idea of what may help appl hit target numbers. I have seen a ton of watches lately so maybe it's enough. Crossing my fingers that AAPl can save all ### REPLY: My husband's best friend is president of a bank and has a Rolex and wears his Apple watch instead. My husband has a watch collection but never wears any of them anymore now that he owns one. It's a thing for sure. I see them everywhere. ### END.
### Comment: Meeting is on Aug 1. ### REPLY: Okay but I'm from Australia. It was already Tuesday when I posted mate. ### END.
### Comment: it's not bankrupt but might as well be. ### REPLY: Elon quits, stock goes to 10$. 'we ware able to get lisa su as a replacement' Stock goes to 1000$ ### END.
### Comment: Why deep ITM? ### REPLY: Idk, I'm on wsb. I've got no fucking clue what I'm doing. My thoughts are that they will not ever become worthless even if the stonk flattens and if for some reason I want to exercise them I could. Is that bad? ### END.
### Comment: It can because I can customize it. I can even make it pink for your faggy ass. ### REPLY: They’re not real blue texts though. They’re imitation blue texts. Just like androids are imitation phones. Also not at all surprising that Android users are homophobic racists :> ### END.
### Comment: 10am top ### REPLY: I entered xlk Aug 17 $70 puts for 65 cents like 20 mins ago lol...had that retarded rush of retail dip buyers showing up too fast..figured fuck it, it's early but I'll avg down if it pops again for some reason. ### END.
### Comment: You son of bitch ### REPLY: do it ### END.
### Comment: they posted a 'corrected' earnings report lmao ### REPLY: And what was the correction? ### END.
### Comment: #**NO OPTION** ### REPLY: You're the option! ### END.
### Comment: Shut this motherfucker down. We've reached the pentacle. ### REPLY: Just like my FB calls ### END.
### Comment: Does this count as a sale? Like I understand buying a dip that results as profit taking or whatever when the outlook still looks strong, but when the stock price dips because there's an actual change in our understanding of the fundamentals, that doesn't sound like the best time to buy in to me ### REPLY: yeah, I was all over buying the FB dip when that Cambridge Analytica thing happened Now that the market has realized that we've reached Peak Facebook (at least until there more adults with internet access exist) though, I'm probably going to hold off on any big short-term FB investments.. ### END.
### Comment: i just got bamboozled hard fuck ### REPLY: same. $GOOGL calls cost me $500 on the ride into work. ### END.
### Comment: Calls have decay, he's just claiming the stock will end green. ### REPLY: I think he edited his comment to add stocks. Either that, or I'm retarded and can't read. Out of the two choices, calls made more sense. Let's just go ahead and say I'm retarded. ### END.
### Comment: 🙏🙏 ### REPLY: well gg it was supposed to be a pre ER runup but everything is falling appart ### END.
### Comment: > it's actual results I love your innocence ### REPLY: I’m glad I could make you laugh homie. ### END.
### Comment: SQ is going to pull a SHOP. ### REPLY: It's already dropped so much before ER, is it really going to head back to below $60? ### END.
### Comment: In banking though? The sector is attractive to me precisely because I see it as so reliable.. If the market overall keeps doing well and interest rates change how they're expected to, why would banks go down? ### REPLY: Yes, in banking. ### END.
### Comment: Oh boo hoo, now you're only up a few hundred million. In all seriousness though, nice. Looks like how I play. Is this position actually 100% of your portfolio value, or is this just a portion you have in RH? ### REPLY: hundred million? LUL ### END.
### Comment: Wait you SOLD to open the puts!? Oh fuck. ### REPLY: Oh fuck is right. It's actually not to bad I sold them for $6 so if its above $134 by September 21st I profit ### END.
### Comment: Most of the people here only use a small portion of their net worth for YOLO accounts. The majority of WSB have the majority of their net worth in safe investment accounts. ### REPLY: LMFAO good joke dude ### END.
### Comment: Bro it’s a dishonour to the family if you’re homeless in Japan/China. People just kill themselves there instead. ### REPLY: Starbucks employing Asian hit squads to rid US stores of homeless problems. ### END.
### Comment: T ### REPLY: Goodbye ### END.
### Comment: I bought calls :( ### REPLY: F ### END.
### Comment: cost basis is not defined by the laws. Inflation adjusted cost basis. ### REPLY: That is a good point though I would say that there's some heavy case law in the cost side ### END.
### Comment: I kind of wanted one, but fuck that. The world is going to die and I need my tendies ### REPLY: more for me, then ### END.
### Comment: I have never met anyone talk about hangouts or slack. Clearly we run in different circles. Are you an engineer/developer? ### REPLY: Lol, he's an iHater. Even fucking Google gave out on Hangouts, it's now a business product (that nobody uses). Slack is for work. ### END.
### Comment: No you both ### REPLY: No the 3 of yous ### END.
### Comment: These were cheap af yesterday ### REPLY: And they will remain cheap af today ### END.
### Comment: So they fucked up the earnings numbers? ### REPLY: Where’s my LAWYER~~~?!?!!!! ### END.
### Comment: You just forgot to finish the sentence. You were special ed bound. You know. The class you rode to on that short bus with blacked out windows? The one you used to eat your buggers, your friends boogers, and licked the windows? I’m sure you ate your share of paste too, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU? ### REPLY: Sir, you are being very aggressive and I do not appreciate the tone of your response. ### END.
### Comment: Inflation is meanginful, especially over 50-100 years. For example $300k 100 years ago is $5 million today, and I know some companies that bought buildings/land that long ago and such a rule like this would actually make a difference to some (but not all) people/businesses. ### REPLY: If I spend $1000000 get a 10yr yielding 1.5%, and inflation is 2%, my inflation adjusted gain each year is -0.5%, so I get a 5k refund every year right? All this law does is turn each investor into a mini federal reserve shareholder ### END.
### Comment: The reason is that a majority shareholder in $AMD, Mubadala, sold 22m shares yesterday. The uncertainty combined with that level of volume means that Its probably going to drop today. Significantly. ### REPLY: Well I sold for a profit so my autism paid off in the end. ### END.
### Comment: What? They posted their first quarterly profit last year, and have had 4 straight quarters of profit. Watch they'll start squeezing their advertisers, and cutting R&D. Donald Trump gives them daily promotions, and you can assume half the planet is trying to target him with Twitter ads. Buy the dip! Sell right before the next Presidential election. ### REPLY: from what i see in yahoo its only last 2 quarters they made any money but even if you trust itll grow despite the stagnant user growth itll have to grow real good considering its valuation ### END.
### Comment: Wasn't consensus -0.03 non-GAAP? ### REPLY: That’s correct ### END.
### Comment: Olvidando olvidando que estoy bailando bailando ### REPLY: WALL ### END.
### Comment: I tailed you on 187.5 8/17 calls. Just closed for 70% profit. 79$ to 139$ Need to grow this account I am too poor but these little wins will help! Thanks ### REPLY: $ ### END.
### Comment: [>Stop, my chins can only jiggle so much](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/92sru9/what_food_is_100_worth_the_calories/e38482v/) Well, at least you're honest. ### REPLY: Lmao thx bb;p ### END.
### Comment: Fuck you I'm not reading all that. Gimme bullet points bitch. ### REPLY: money in not enough big as people want, stonk not more worth money so price lower ### END.
### Comment: I have 10x 9/21 135C that I'm down like 50% on. I'm going to treat your comment as though you are from the future. Thank you for the hope. Also happy cake day. Edit: father should I roll my calls to 10/19? ### REPLY: Yes. ### END.
### Comment: That's the price of a straddle. The options currently price in 4% either way ### REPLY: An ATM straddle price for the current week is a shortcut for the expected move of 1 deviation. It's actually slightly off, but close enough that you can use it as a shortcut. ### END.
### Comment: Can I sell calls on my family? ### REPLY: An options market for trafficking? Now there's a market. ### END.
### Comment: Alternatively, if you don’t expect large price movements https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/butterflyspread.asp There are a bunch of different ways to hedge positions with both calls and puts. ### REPLY: What's the difference between this and an Iron Condor? ### END.
### Comment: FB isn't AAPL. AAPL has a history behind it for the last four years. Plus with the consensus being widely popular, odds are it'll keep to tradition and blow everyone's socks off. ### REPLY: Until last week you could substitute FB for AAPL in that sentence. I’m not disagreeing that they’ll report a good quarter, just trying to push back against some of the brainless cheerleader hype that can surround some stocks. There are some good indications that they’ll post a good quarter, you just haven’t mentioned any. ### END.
### Comment: [https://i.imgur.com/t1XcFqK.png](https://i.imgur.com/t1XcFqK.png) EPS growth ex tech is non-existent brudda, so you are correct. Without FAANG there's no bull market. ### REPLY: Oh shit, are we fucked? We might be fucked ### END.
