  1. I am still about half in the market here. Is it worth getting all the way out at this point or should I just ride the lightning
  2. I mean, it can be - for example if you are selling naked options you could lose many many many times your initial investment. However, if you use them intelligently and responsibly, they can often act as a hedge to protect yourself from wild market swings and capture a defined return during those swings.
  3. Forget it he's rolling
  4. hhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggg
  5. Respect for giving us the post mortem. I actually thought of you this weekend when I heard about the deaths in the US from the virus. Thought you had a slam dunk on your hands.
  6. Agreed, I did lots of reading before ever trying to trade options. I will say, you had some good advice above though. If someone wanted to jump in with "limited" risk (i.e. not infinite downside risk) then you could buy near money puts and calls. If the market pops one way or the other Monday, one of your positions is worthless and you lose the investment (but not infinite losses) and your other one should make up for it and then some.
  7. I would add to the above - if you are asking what buy to open etc etc mean, you should absolutely not be trading options.
  8. I understood about half of this.
  9. This is the advice I come here for thanks.
  10. Wife says she looked down for one second and rear-ended a 20-something girl in a parking lot this morning. No damage to my wife's car, only slight dent to the bumper of other girl's car. The girl was late for work so my wife took pics and gave the girl her number. I'd like to probably just pay her to either go away or repair it out of pocket instead of getting raped via insurance. Is there any way I can protect myself from this girl taking cash and getting it fixed and filing an insurance claim at the same time? Also, no pics of wife, sorry.
  11. Couldn’t bring myself to watch what did he say? I’m sure it was some Mensa bullshit
  12. Yep I’m on board. No more fucking minor league coaches that have a couple good years.
  13. Don’t even bother coming back fucking losers
  14. This right here. Anyone living in Houston for more than the past few years knew this was the default. This game is the epitome of Houston sports fandom.
  15. Thanks for the feedback all
  16. With an impending move to Denver this winter, I am starting to look at my current ride and whether or not I need to change it. Living in Houston, I drive a 2WD (RWD) Tahoe. From what I can tell, a big ass rwd SUV is basically the worst configuration possible for snowy conditions even with winter tires. I love my Tahoe but would prefer to trade it in here in Houston before I go if I have to get rid of it. I have very little (i.e. none) experience driving in snow, living in the south all my life. So denizens of surly who are experts in snow driving - am I better off keeping the Tahoe and throwing some sandbags in the trunk with winter tires, or am I asking for trouble and I need to bite the bullet and buy something at least FWD if not 4WD?
  17. Every time I need a laugh I come back and read the first few pages of this thread.
  18. Any reason I can’t take more than two droppers per “serving?” I bought the 8mg/dropper serving from CBDistillery and haven’t felt much with either 1 dropper or 2 droppers under the tongue. I’d like to try 3 droppers (eventually I’ll just buy a stronger mixture if it works). Any downside other than I’m swallowing more oil? I did notice it gave me a slight stomach ache.
  19. I'd just build that in to you relo package for you company to pay. Good luck. It appears I am in the exact same situation (Houston to Denver)
  20. Thanks - this has taken a bit longer to crystallize than I thought, but looks like we are on for EOY shipping out there. In all likelihood, it'll be a 2 to 3 year deal. Looking at home prices I can't see how its a good idea for me to drop cash on a house in the current market, so we are thinking maybe going rental. Couple more specific questions now that the time approaches - what's the thoughts on the market short term? Rent is better than buy if the horizon is 3 years or less right? If we rent I could see going 4-5k/mo. Looks like enough to get into Cherry Creek, but if we are able to spend that amount, is there another neighborhood that is comparably nice? Keep in mind, I'll have to make it worth my Woodlands housewife's while to uproot and move to Denver, so a "nice" neighborhood is a plus if only so she doesn't bitch. My office is smack in the middle of downtown, and I am used to commuting about 45 mins, so anything that's like 30 mins or less would be great.
  21. I see no changes, all I see is racist faces...
  22. 2 days max in Dublin. It's just a big city IMO. Spend some time in the smaller towns and cities. We did a loop basically starting in Dublin ->train to Galway. From Galway we took day trips to Cliffs of Mohr and some surrounding national parks. Then went south and drove to Kilarney. Spent time in Kilarney national park (wish we would have spent longer there, it was incredible for hiking/outdoors stuff). THat was probably my top spot on the trip. Few days there, then drove east to Cork. Stopped at Blarney on the way, pretty cool but a bit touristy. I recommend renting a car and going out on your own. Once you get used to it, the driving isn't terrible excepting perhaps the drive up to the cliffs. There's lots of small backroads with hedges or stone fences one each side, and big ass tour buses full of olds careening around the corners of the one way dirt roads. Other than that it was easy. Enjoy the trip. I would go back in a second and just spend time in the rural areas.
