ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:06:14 UTC

ThisIsChris
2018-10-22 05:06:20 UTC

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

I mean, common stock is the primary source of equity

ThisIsChris
2018-10-22 05:07:46 UTC  

Are there any European options besides SPX?

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:07:48 UTC  

Doesn’t really matter who holds it tho

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:08:04 UTC  

Not to my knowledge

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:08:14 UTC  

Might be a Nikkei one iirc

So, if I'm a billionaire, could I make a difference by using by money to drive up private prison deportation company stock?

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:08:31 UTC  

They just don’t want people to struggle with option pricing I think

I just watched the Barstool Sports story on Snapchat and the anchor, if that's what you can call him, just said, "this guy is getting cucked big time"

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:10:15 UTC  

did "cucked" entire the mainstream?

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:10:27 UTC  

is that a thing that people say in polite company now?

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:10:29 UTC  

My mother used it once

ophiuchus
2018-10-22 05:10:37 UTC  

Only because of deleterious exposure to me

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:10:50 UTC  

I know Trump supporters have adopted it

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:11:01 UTC  

but Snapchat "news" is pretty strongly leftist

I don't think Barstool Sports is some kind of right wing source

VinceChaos
2018-10-22 05:11:21 UTC  

the barstool guys are pretty chad tho no?

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:11:26 UTC  

I guess

Jacob
2018-10-22 05:11:35 UTC  

maybe their audience is pretty right wing?

VinceChaos
2018-10-22 05:11:37 UTC  

I thought it was mainstream in an ironic way

VinceChaos
2018-10-22 05:11:59 UTC  

thats my bet yeah

VinceChaos
