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

Can you long puts?

@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

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?

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

ah, domo

Even though there are black scholes calculators on the internet and you can write one in excel in like 2 minutes

holy shit

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"

did "cucked" entire the mainstream?

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

My mother used it once

Only because of deleterious exposure to me

I know Trump supporters have adopted it
