I don't think you are naive at all regarding this but generally people see famous people, name dropping and due diligence goes out the window. There are people who take advantage of that and are very successful. Disgusting because it i

Back when I used to run a web scraping shop, we had this exact request. I didn't know it was illegal at the time but we ultimately didn't do it because lot of people just want to pay as little as possible for scraping without cons

Oh man I can't believe they actually pulled this on a Canadian Bank. I tell my founders to always always fly straight or don't fly at all because if you cut corners or deceive, it will come back to you. Had they been honest and pl

Hmm I hadn't considered that but how do you find out what tools were being used to produce the payload source code? How can you be certain? Could another adversary simply use the same tooling or perhaps it is shared to an allied nation

It kills the argument that Parler is exclusively used for organizing violence although the insurrection part is where they will have a lot of trouble with specifically because they chose the worst possible place.

It claimed Parler was exclusively used for violence, the burden of proof is on them. All Parler's lawyer need to do is show them the exact same vitrol on Twitter to highlight how shaky Amazon's argument is. I don't expect a f

wait so you keep most of your money on something like Interactive Brokers??? I guess when they give you better rates than any retail banks this makes sense.... but I'd feel nervous even with 2FA.

> less liquidity THIS. THIS. THIS. I remember calling Interactive Brokers panicking because I couldn't dump my position since there was no counter party at the deep OTM strike.

let me take a guess you can tell me if I'm warm or cold. assuming you risk 10% on your broker's account with 90% tied up in fixed income or t-bills or stocks. assuming you stand to make 100,000 USD per month selling far OTM option

Reading his post reminds me of the fund manager who said he sold all his positions back in 2000 when he found his grandma was buying stocks.

by f430 6y ago
but when you sell options you are betting that the stock won't move towards the direction described in the option because if it does you are going to be margin called by your broker. I don't know exactly how it happened but someon

I think he means that deep OTM is cheaper and you can buy more of it compared to what you would with ITM or near strike options. So yes if you think Tesla is going to be $1000 in a few weeks and it moves towards that direction but not enoug

by f430 6y ago
yeah so if your options are ITM then your stock doesn't need to move that much to profit but the downside is its very expensive. OTM is cheaper but much more riskier because your stock has to travel further. No you would leverage more

by f430 6y ago
as the distance from the current market price increases, the rule of thumb is that it becomes cheaper because the probability of hitting that strike is a lot lower supposedly. I've read money managers use far OTM options to hedge again
