Yeah the fed open market committee meets pretty regularly
IE should all buy vix and find a way to crash the market
@ThisIsChris for sure. I’m an alternatives analyst at my school’s investment fund, so a lot of what I do is mitigating risk and hedging
@ophiuchus that's really cool
IE should have its own value investment fund
surely 800 of us can do it?
IE having the ability to crash the market... oy vey
There's a MAGA ETF
@ophiuchus do you know about weather derivatives? I was looking into it for a long time but I don't think retail people can trade them
I know what they are but I have very little (none) experience with them
As part of our IPS, we’re only allowed to long things as well. Which is frustrating.
What's an IPS?
Investor policy statement
@Jacob Yeah I made money off it!
@ophiuchus can you long inverse ETFs?
Yes
It was nice for awhile
And do
@VinceChaos I made money investing in private prisons lmao
Yeah options are fine
literally a company that helps with deportations
Only long calls and puts tho
@ophiuchus no spreads?
Also, retardedly, only European options
what European options are out there besides SPX?
also yeah that is a bizarre restriction
Aye, there’s the rub
although I guess it simplifies things
@Jacob gotta do your part even indirectly
easier to price a european option
Does a company benefit in any way when people invest in their stock?
It’s run by students so they’re just going to let us go full retard and short call a Bermudan option on a milkshake company
lol
I mean, common stock is the primary source of equity
Are there any European options besides SPX?
Doesn’t really matter who holds it tho
Not to my knowledge
