We need more articles like this. I hold a similar viewpoint but lack the ability to crystallize it so elegantly into a coherent argument. Well done.

Could that sort of misrepresentation qualify as libel? Or are newspapers somehow immune to that?

I get what you're saying and I think your terminology makes sense. But the way to understand this is to reframe your view of "money" from being some special, neutral thing to just being another asset. At any given moment, you

"Building a curve" means defining a function of where you think volatility should be as a function of strike and expiration. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/stock-analysis/081916/... It gets s

It's not a claim, it's a reference to a reddit trope which is funny because it's technically true (i.e. by construction most options do indeed expire worthless), but so incredibly stupid and naive. Obviously the idea that it&

They never did a proper phase 3 trial. Instead they did two half-trials, with different doses. Initially they pretended this was done on purpose, and claimed 90% efficacy: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55040635 Late

Most underrated comment, this is hilarious. "More than 80% of options expire worthless!"

I think your mistake wasn't doing the DCF and putting on the position, that is a reasonable move (short interest in TSLA has been huge, a lot of funds thought the same as you ). Your mistake was bad position management once you had

He forgot the best way to lose money on options - selling options! It's a great and effective way to lose money - sell out of the money options and get paid a premium, and feel smart! Until the unexpected happens and you go bankrupt.

The link you posted is about the Moderna vaccine, not AstraZeneca. I have no qualms with the Moderna vaccine, I consider it and the Pfizer to be the most effective and least questionable.

My perception of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is that their credibility is compromised. I take claims of its efficacy with a similar dose of salt to claims about the Russian and Chinese vaccines. Reason is that early on they were ru

Market manipulation is defined as intentionally causing an artificial or misleading price in a security. This definitely qualifies, because the stated intention is to move the price of the shares, not to acquire a position for any other rea

I voted for Obama twice. But his failure to properly prosecute the bad actors in 2008 was one of the biggest failures of his presidency in my opinion. However: 1) It's still not too late to go after those people. Some NY DA should ma

I am not against charging certain actors in the 2008 crisis with fraud and manipulation either. The 2008 recession is not really a comparable event to the current GME short squeeze. It was rather a broad series of events, most of which wer

This "wild new phenomenon" is just boring old market manipulation. The only thing new about it is that the perpetrator is a subreddit instead of a licensed broker/dealer or other regulated entity. The appropriate thing to do

It's a humorous injunction that could be gainfully posted at the top of most controversial threads. Nothing wrong with warning people against bias and groupthink. Especially when the matter is deeply technical and outside of most par

This article sort of skipped over the actual "gamma" part. When the banks buy stocks to hedge their calls, they push the price up. Why does that create a feedback loop? Because the price going up makes each call more risky, which

That's behind a paywall for me - do they link actual sources of when and where Trump said those specific words?

Please provide a message, communication, quote, or tweet from Trump that explicitly calls for violence. I too have been looking and can't find one.

I read Twitter's whole article, and it seems to be exactly what GP thinks. The article is full of weasel words like "can be interpreted as" or "could be taken to mean". It does not point to any single actual examp

I think it's helpful to be more specific about the role, since "data science" is a vague term these days. If you are using existing methods to analyze data relevant to your employer (so like trying to optimize the conversion
