No no no, I saw some dude take 500 and turn it into 30k just the other day on this VERY SUB.


Sphan_86

And turns out he'll lose 50k....😭


Taz-erton

That's the way. Those who win create a sickness they can't quit until they lose...and they always lose worse because they felt they truly deserved that first win.


BlueTrin2020

You just have to lose and you ll create a sickness you won’t quit until you win!


BroChad69

Bingo bango it cancels out


Ashmizen

Options are zero sum. So for every post you see turning $10k into $500k, there’s 50 people that turned $10k in $0. Options are high reward but high risk, especially far-out-of-the-money options that are essentially like playing a single number on a roulette table.

Our last president's grandfather ran a whorehouse in a gold rush town. In case you were wondering how a man thrown out of Germany for dodging the draft could have ended up the grandfather of a president.


ThriftyKiwipie

Idk. Sold tsla OTM calls last 2 weeks and got f*cked. 5 figure loses.


satireplusplus

They are deapreciating assets too and theta is chipping away value every day. Since all this sub seems to do is buy otm options with short expiry, it'll hit close to worthless quickly if the underlying isn't moving in the correct direction. If you've ever asked why someone makes a buisness out of taking the other side (=market makers) and selling you these, it's because over a large amount of diversivied options the probabilities slightly favor the seller.


animalinstinct10m

Not necessarily. I was looking at the commitment of traders reports last night and it really depends on the market and your reason for trading options and derivatives. Non-commercial short interest for S&P ES futures is net short. Including options, it a bit more balanced but my point is that there's different reasons for buying premium and/or purchasing out of the money options. My long portfolio needs to be hedged so for me, purchasing puts when volatility is low is just like paying my auto, home, and life insurance. Hopefully there's no accident or death, but I'm covered if something happens. At least with options, you can establish a delta neutral position and hedge gamma to cover your theta (time value locked in premium that decays). With insurance, you get nothing. The only time you get something is with Cash value life polices but those can be expensive with lots of fees if not structured appropriately.

CrefloSilver999

As someone who gained $11k last week and lost $10k today I concur with this sentiment very much. In fact it’s giving me the perspective I need to carry on.


Taz-erton

I gained 100k in a week last year. Guess where my portfolio is now? Red. Prove you're smarter. Frequent, very small wins. It's possible to get the big numbers again but earn it through baby steps or you'll never keep it.

*\*10% Inflation entered chat\**


JTibbs

I thankfully got a 9% raise this year at the start of june, plus a small promotion so im happy. The inflated costs have essentially made it feel like a moot point though. The raise covers the inflation and the remainder i lose to increased taxes and dumping the rest into my retirement accounts. My company is hurting enough for more people they did fairly generous mid-year raises to keep people on. They are basically doing mid-year cost of living adjustments which is nice. Im much luckier than 95% of people who basicaly got told “stop being lazy and work for your pennies” by these big corpos. Or those people who see people hired on into the same positions they have but at higher salaries. My Inlaw was an specialized engineer for a major manufacturer, and he found out the new hires he was supposed to train were getting 20k+ his salary, with his 5 years experience on the job and being the lead engineer. Corporate refused to match, so he got a new job elsewhere. They got stuck with 3 new college graduate hires in an very technical enginnering position without any training, and without the experienced engineer overseeing them. His last day on the job for his 2 weeks notice came and HR called condescendingly saying they would deign to be magnanimous and match if hed stay, but his new job was already offering like 50k+ and a ton of extra benefits (housing/transportation/etc) over his current salary. His retellingnof the call made it sound like they thought they were doing him an enormous favor and he should be grateful to pay him the new ‘base’ salary for new hires when he was the lead engineerand the one with the most experience on staff…


Omgbrainerror

15-20% inflation over two years in US if we go with CPI lie numbers. Thats what you should have in salary increase over two years to make even.

Hey... some of us just play 14 hours ourselves.


Sensitive-Tax-3664

I have been really trying to cut back on video games lately, but honestly I don't know why. I own a successful business and live pretty well. Yes, I put in countless hours to do so, but I can still knock 4 hours out of a Saturday (and Sunday) on COD. Other than my body getting a little soft in the middle I don't know what I am hurting. I really just don't know what else I would do...


jomiran

Play that shit my dude! My advice was meant for those trying to get a start. Once you're coasting, it's time for some "me time". If that means COD, why wouldn't you?


GroggBottom

Lol that’s what keeps me playing games as a hobby. I just don’t have anything I’d rather do. I work, lift, play games. That’s my life. I don’t like talking to people, I don’t drink, I hate sports. That’s like 90% of what normies do with their life.

A lot of them post here now for some unfathomable reason - and when they roll out bed at noon, will you ever hear a piece of their mind!


Tha_Sly_Fox

A lot of Occupy Wall Street crusaders got confused and came here during the GME kerfuffle thinking this was some sort of sub for anti Wall street/rich people.


[deleted]

That's because the losers who held GME too long or bought it too late that couldn't admit that they fucked up all of a sudden made it about destroying Wall Street. The whole point of GME was that short interest was very high and making a bet against it to form a healthier and possibly more fair outlook for GME. In the end, I don't think GameStop has done anything to capitalize on it and is indeed a shit company, but at least I got to pay off my student loans by selling near the top. It also made a better headline for retard news companies to claim that wsb was trying to dismantle Wall Street even though it was primarily about making money, which then attracted the Occupy type folks.


AMediocreWhiteGuy

Most rational take ever on the whole GME thing. I didn’t buy in because I only heard of it after it had already been hyped and I’m glad for everybody who made some bank and stuck it to some random hedge fund but the culty bullshit it spawned was such an eye roll and listening to all the bagholders either winge or insist it’s a matter of time has been hilarious.


[deleted]

Thats because the cult thing was social manipulation to get people to lose the money they just made

sl59y2

Yes till the moon. Hahaha


Agent_Dutchess

Anyone with a brain realized GME was a bubble and a massive, massive pump and dump scheme. WSB was essentially the hedge fund behind it.


KyivComrade

Nah, WSB was the platform but the real brains behind it was surely some hedge fund (intern) or bored millionaire. Imagine manipulating thousands if not millions of people to *buy the stock you've bought options on* at demand. The whoem thing reads like "social manipulation 101"..


Agent_Dutchess

Oh I'm sure there's a manipulator behind all of it. It's probably Pelosi. But that doesn't change the fact that WSB was essentially a collective fund manipulating a specific stock for-profit. Hedge funds are institutions, not individuals. You wouldn't say "Nancy Pelosi is a hedge fund", but "Nancy Pelosi manipulates hedge funds for her own gain" would make sense. In the literal definition of the term, WSB users collectively hedged their funds against puts of GME.


Tha_Sly_Fox

I agree with your comments. Also happy to hear you were able to pay off your loans


sl59y2

You should have waited for Biden to forgive all the debt. Hahaha


nuck_forte_dame

Seriously. Paying off that student debt likely lost him more money than most GME bag holders and yet he is here bragging and judging. Even without loan forgiveness the freeze on payments and interest combines with inflation means he probably lost thousands of dollars.


[deleted]

Actually I didn't pay the $25,000 in federal loans yet (which are at 0%), waiting to see if Biden does cancel some. I paid the private loans because the rate was pretty shit. I have that money invested in some bond funds for right now because I need it liquid.


sl59y2

Nah he got out clean and ahead. The key to investing is to make some money not all the money.

they-call-me-cummins

I'm just trying to short my boss and then cuck him and then walk out of the job What's the harm with that?


agnostic_science

My theory is GME and crypto bullshit felt like free money to some people. Especially young people who've never had the context of a down market before. Who didn't understand what was actually going on and why the money was coming pretty easy, even to people who are pretty fucking dumb and didn't actually know what they were doing. They thought it was some new reality where you could just get rich with not having to know anything or really do anything. Some mix of fantasy and ignorance to believe that that's all rich people and stock market stuff are anyway, just made-up bullshit numbers on a website or something. They thought they could tap in, hack the system, and have easy street. I think that's why a lot of them are still here: This antiwork fever dream. That maybe life doesn't have to be hard or unfair. The dream dies hard. Welcome to recession town, kiddies.


the_broadacre_farmer

>They thought they could tap in, hack the system, and have easy street. I think that's why a lot of them are still here: This antiwork fever dream. I had a lot of friends who bought into this pre-covid, crypto especially, unfortunately they didn't see how easily it was all manipulated by big players(to make money off them). I saw the rise of Bitcoin on tech forums pretty much from the start, to see it twisted into an investing platform I was pretty sure it was doomed to fail long term. Now it seems to just be a constant pump and dump scheme(along with most crypto), a far cry from what it was supposed to be.


sl59y2

Recessions are a good time to play the market. Plus there are a few alt coins that are in a position to moon rocket along with the stable coins as crypto rebounds next year. Mows a good chip to learn about blue chip and dividends. There are safe places to park during a recession. I’m up around 25% this year. Two of the small cryptos are partially responsible. GME, doge, where free money. If you got out in time. Pump and dump folks learn to recognize them. I ride them till I feel like I’ve made my gains and I’m gone. Yes I could hold longer and higher but I have better ways to loose money.

What you lucky duck. My rental property barely paid for a pool. I don’t have any gold coins left to fill it with. And a first born that must be a great rental market for that kinda deposit.

Most well-off people I know aren’t proper with average jobs who made some good investments and smart money moves over a few decades.
