Is there a way I can find top secret information on when the Jews are going to crash the market?

2018-10-22 05:01:04 UTC  

Yeah if you want to "hedge" spy isn't it usually just better to hold less of it? for normal retail investors?

2018-10-22 05:01:14 UTC  

Yeah the fed open market committee meets pretty regularly

2018-10-22 05:01:54 UTC  

IE should all buy vix and find a way to crash the market

2018-10-22 05:01:59 UTC  

@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

2018-10-22 05:02:16 UTC  

@ophiuchus that's really cool

2018-10-22 05:02:19 UTC  

IE should have its own value investment fund

2018-10-22 05:02:22 UTC  

surely 800 of us can do it?

2018-10-22 05:02:30 UTC  

IE having the ability to crash the market... oy vey

2018-10-22 05:02:37 UTC  

There's a MAGA ETF

2018-10-22 05:02:39 UTC  

@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

2018-10-22 05:03:13 UTC  

I know what they are but I have very little (none) experience with them

2018-10-22 05:03:51 UTC  

As part of our IPS, we’re only allowed to long things as well. Which is frustrating.

2018-10-22 05:04:06 UTC  

What's an IPS?

2018-10-22 05:04:12 UTC  

Investor policy statement

2018-10-22 05:04:24 UTC  

@Jacob Yeah I made money off it!

2018-10-22 05:04:29 UTC  

@ophiuchus can you long inverse ETFs?

2018-10-22 05:04:35 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-22 05:04:36 UTC  

It was nice for awhile

2018-10-22 05:04:38 UTC  

And do

2018-10-22 05:04:51 UTC  

Can you long puts?

2018-10-22 05:04:57 UTC  

@VinceChaos I made money investing in private prisons lmao

2018-10-22 05:04:59 UTC  

Yeah options are fine

2018-10-22 05:05:07 UTC  

literally a company that helps with deportations

2018-10-22 05:05:09 UTC  

Only long calls and puts tho

2018-10-22 05:05:32 UTC  

@ophiuchus no spreads?

2018-10-22 05:05:34 UTC  

Also, retardedly, only European options

2018-10-22 05:05:55 UTC  

what European options are out there besides SPX?

2018-10-22 05:06:08 UTC  

also yeah that is a bizarre restriction

2018-10-22 05:06:14 UTC  

Aye, there’s the rub

2018-10-22 05:06:20 UTC  

although I guess it simplifies things

2018-10-22 05:06:39 UTC  

@Jacob gotta do your part even indirectly

2018-10-22 05:06:47 UTC  

easier to price a european option

2018-10-22 05:06:58 UTC  

Does a company benefit in any way when people invest in their stock?

2018-10-22 05:07:00 UTC  

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

2018-10-22 05:07:13 UTC  

lol

2018-10-22 05:07:38 UTC  

I mean, common stock is the primary source of equity

2018-10-22 05:07:46 UTC  

Are there any European options besides SPX?
