  1. Is there a NSAA thread for what you stuck in your ear?
  2. My thoughts exactly. Didn't watch the whole thing, but no way Trump knows Jesus was a Jew.
  3. All the major hotel chains have discontinued pay per view porn. The only place I...err...a buddy of mine has seen pay per view porn is Vegas.
  4. Know how I know you haven't traveled in a while?
  5. uh oh Pence mentioned Gavin Newsom favorably. All that sucking up has been forgotten. Nikki Haley, come on down!
  6. I wonder if he knows Roche is not an American company?
  7. A good number of Euros, especially the good ones, have a US residence, most if not all in FL. All of the good ones are already here for the Players this week.
  8. Crossing streams now, but listening to Cuban on ESPN, off the top of his head comments are so much more coherent than anything Trump has said in the past month.
  9. This is like listening to a 9 year old reading off his 'what i did this summer' report to his class.
  10. Not to mention, even those with Internet access, on day 1, at least 20% of students won't be able to make Zoom or Webex or whatever work. And at least 20% of the instructors also won't be able to make Zoom or Webex or whatever work.
  11. Brand new windshield wipers. I'm spraying the washer and running the wipers even when the windshield is clean I love it so much.
  12. Up 6, 27.5 to go, any other team, I would say it's over.
  13. The one thing I've never been able to figure out is how E*Trade calculates buying power especially when selling puts to open. For example, I can sell 5000 puts to open at $2.75 thereby netting me $13,450 after commission. BUT, to execute this transaction, I need to have $81k in buying power. Basically, for every 100 puts, I need to have $1620 in buying power. HTF do they get to this $1620? There doesn't seem to be any simple calculation involving cost of the stock, cost of the option, or anything like that. I know why they do it, because on a put, your loss is theoretically limitless, I just don't know how they get to the number.
  14. This might be a good time to jump on deals from Carvana. They're still trying build market share as opposed to being profitable.
  15. I think he pulled a "NowThis" on that last one. Cut and pasted from the wrong place.
  16. Yeah OK I was just looking at closing price. On 2/6/18 it hit $50.30 but closed at 29.06. On 8/24/15 it hit 53.29 but closed at 26.05. Other than that, it closed above today's closing price just a handful of times in the past five years. The last two times were right around Xmas 2018.
  17. So since the VIX is now at/near a 52 week high, and actually like a 5 year high, will this strategy work in reverse?
