  1. This is the sign of a great champion. But I hate to see the whip being used that much. believe they have a rule of 8 whips.. not that any of us would like that and gosh it looks like more here I have to count. But what a horse!

     


  2. Does any of this mumbo jumbo indicate that the common will stop going up at $4?

    The point is that only a abject moron would buy the bear straddle here if wanting to be long. Both the outright calls or backspread will do better. You don't buy a bear straddle, which loses at the forward (4-ish) bc they think vol will ramp on a rally.

    The 3.5 straddle is 0.63 offered.

    The 4 straddle is 0.94 offered.

    Yeah, vols will be up a bit on a move to $4 on the forward, but no way that it trades above 0.75 on a strike touch.

    The backspread earns free call upside above $4.1. The bull cs also outperforms.

  4. Still don't understand a word of what you are saying. The article agreed the straddle was risky/

    If you had some at $3 would you sell at $4 is the question. I was hoping for $5.75. I'm not in this for any meme activity just the better selling movies...

    Here is a stream idea-- Murderbot- very fun little sci fi series. The effects are well done good sets and Alexander Skarsgard hits it out of the park. Very satisfying ending too~~

    I may of gone into the wrong line of work-

    Buy the 3.5 straddle and shares rally to 4.5 tomorrow. You're up >80% on debit. Figure worst case the 3.5P is trading a dime implying 1.2 on the straddle. Nearly a double.

    Buy the 4 straddle and shares rally to 4.5. You're lucky to be up 20%. Probably 10%.

    You would only be up due to a rise in vol but now your strikes are under the shares. I am not going to go into detail there as you are already lost.

    We're assuming static vol. If so (static) then it's simply fixed strike valuations (meaning arithmetic). You don't buy a fcking bear combo hoping it flips delta. Well, there are scenarios but your head would explode (upside skew locks).

    I've seen numerous times when you post a stock, it goes up immediately. Usually not a lot, but still. I really do think some of the algos scrape your posts Stoney. :thumbsup:
