Those folks aren't her voters....Muslims in the US on the other hand...


They are fans of blocking so I can see that (or I could if I wasn’t blocked). :)


I opened a new 2-lot ratio fly centered at 5270C 10 points wide on each side.  I like this idea as we had a decent run up this morning near all-time highs again so having no downside risk is appealing.

War crimes only apply to losers.


Unlike the Broncos it can get into the end zone


What we got was Cyberspace Sluts.  Not as cool


So glad to live in a right to work state.


Or maybe they don’t file reports because they know these cities won’t prosecute them anyway.


Using the Brave browser still works. But I agree with your point in general


It doesn’t have to be a rape situation. In fact most of the time it isn’t. That doesn’t make the system any better.

You are presupposing the that you can know with certainty how she will react given the situation before any consensual sex occurs. You can’t. Throw in sperm jacking and lying about birth control and it gets even worse.  And those are not crimes. Heck there have been case where a woman had sex with an underage boy, gets pregnant, and the kid is still out on child support. So I’m that case a statutory rape victim is still on the hook.


Right but as of today in the US at least  you can be forced to be involved in her poor decisions. That’s the crux of my point.


But watching most women get upset when you bring this up speaks volumes about them.


And it can be today.  The courts get involved when an agreement cannot be reached privately. That’s what civil courts are for.


I’m not saying no child support. If you want to be a part of that child’s life and have parental rights you should be expected to support the child. Again, authority linked with responsibility.


Given the situation I got a vasectomy at age 28 (many years ago now as I’m on my 50s) so as to avoid the trap. I may have made a different had the system been different.


This may be an unpopular opinion, maybe not but I believe in balance and linking authority with responsibility.

In this case if she can choose to abort unilaterally, then men should have the option to terminate parental rights and not be on the hook for support.

If she can choose to be a parent or not post conception, then so should men.


Haven't done this in a while. With the big up move today I added 4 calendars (5 days apart) centered at 4355C.  This flattens my deltas and gives more upside room in exchange for some downside risk.  Going into a weekend I think this is a good idea.  The only risk today is a big pullback before close.  We'll see.

The wrong tool for every job.  :)


I’m not a Trump voter but how can you can consider yourself a credible news source and not cover the poll leading Presidential candidate?  It would be one thing if he were polling in the single digits, but he’s not only in first place in his own party but he’s polling ahead of Biden.  To not cover anyone in that position would simply show extreme bias.  What are you afraid of?  If he’s that horrible, let him speak and let everyone see and hear how horrible he is.  That’s how elections are supposed to work.  The media is free to any commentary they like about him and in the case of an interview they can ask whatever they like.  That’s what a free press should do.

Or do you just want to squash speech with which you do not agree?  That’s far more fascist that anything Trump has actually done.


Keep up the good work.  I just recently broke 200.  I haven’t noticed any degradation in my timeline.


I was tempted to go with a balanced fly but I went slightly unbalanced to hedge my delta risk so I put on 2-lot 65/70 fly centered at 4060P.  A nice balance for this environment. Were we a bit higher vol, I would have likely gone balanced.  We'll see.

https://soapbox.midwaytrades.com/media/fb9c8a7c-7dec-47be-9acf-ab0d78aa5ad1/914_open.png


My money is on Scalise, but I think Jordan is the only declared candidate. I say Scalise since Gaetz has said he’d support him and he’s already in leadership so the caucus may get behind him.  But we’ll see.


By modern standards, is the thesis actually wrong?  I’m not so sure.


But it likely took those promises to get the Speaker job in the first place lest we forget the 15 ballots.


You aren’t being asked what women can bring to the table.  You are being asked what you specifically bring to the table.  You want your independence in a relationship, you want to be an equal.  That makes the question relevant.  If you were willing to take on the traditional female role, then the answer would be obvious and the question would not be necessary.  The fact that you don’t want that makes it a legit question.


She wants a traditional man but doesn’t want to be a traditional woman.  Yes, that’s basically wanting one’s cake and eating it too.

Go long box wine and cat litter, folks.


With the drop today, I got 10% on the put diagonals I put on yesterday.  I'll take it.  I will likely put on something new tomorrow

My latest trade review video is up on BitChute and Rumble.

So as we wrap up the week/month/quarter, I had a very busy week of trading closing 3 trades for target profit and, thus, making my goal for the month. This week was all about patience...the market was a bit crazy but by waiting and being patient, my trades did well. Lots of good lessons here so take a look. I also do a monthly/quarterly review of my progress.

Well, there is Lindsey Graham.  :)


I went back and forth a bit on whether to do this trade this week but I kept it to a 2-lot to keep it small.  I put on an 11-day put diagonal with the shorts at 4315P and the longs at 4325P.  If we keep doing down it will be fine.  If we pop, I'll consider adding a call diagonal to flatten it out and give more room.  Will look at a bigger trade likely on Weds.

I thought that was a new drug from Pfizer.


Yeah I saw a game at Wembley several years ago. Fun day. The Brits knew the game quite well.


That’s 9:30 ET.  That’s 1:30PM London time.


That is a good recipe for expatriation of the very wealthy.  The thing about these kinds of crazy tax rates is that they are for show to the masses.  No one actually pays them.


My point is that it didn’t “just happen” but that’s the rationalization option she needs to have.


Your terms are acceptable


When the market opened, I thought I was going to have to adjust my flies at some point today.  But I waited and they came off for 8% in two days and with that trade I made my goal for the month on the last day.  Patience pays off....

On to next week/month/quarter!

She sure has egg on her face…or something


…and why he has that sly grin.


Unlike some renamed airports I think the Reagan name is sticking.  I’ve yet to shear people call BWI Marshall.


“National Airport, doors open on the … top?”


I held out and around a year and a half ago Verizon offered me a decent upgrade deal so I took it.  Of course they apply the discount monthly so it doesn’t make sense to pay off the phone early, but that’s fine.

If your phone is that old, call them or go into a store and see if they’ll cut you a deal.  You should be a free agent with a 4 year old phone.  Find a deal for new customers at a competitor and get them to match it.  If your phone is paid off, they might do it.


I opened a 2-lot unbalanced fly (65/70) centered at 4275P.  Still want to be short vega but I like the relatively flat deltas with the movements we've been having.

Yet another reason why I like running my own instance. I can laugh when people report my posts…to me.


Look for small independent theaters that usually show art films.  Many of them will have film series for classic movies, sometimes genre based.  Sometimes a bunch over a weekend, other times a monthly series.


He’s also a good human being.  When Congress isn’t in session he regularly travels to 3rd world counties and performs free eye surgeries.


Nothing like a quick win to start the day.  With the drop today I took off my long put diagonals for just under 13%.  Not bad for an overnight trade.

My latest trade review video is up on BitChute and Rumble.

This week was the long awaited FOMC announcement and it definitely shook things up a bit. But I weathered it well and made money. One of the ways I did this was to flip a trade from long to short vega as IV spiked. I don't always do this but I think it's a nice tool to have in your trading toolbelt. So take a look and feel free to ask questions, comment or otherwise reach out.

I used to laugh at this too until I started traveling internationally.  If you cross a bunch of timezones your eating schedule gets off.


$80M and they couldn’t put in a LoJack?  :)


A quick update.  I think I found a way to do it.  I'm in the process of testing it now.  No promises.  Like I said, if it works I'll set up a separate bot that will do this.  Testing could be a few days..and it might not work.  We'll see.


I’m actually surprised that mine isn’t on there.


But how does one determine the “profit”?

You’ve got it backwards. Inflationary forces (like massive money printing, increases taxes/fees/regulations/etc. and restrictive zoning laws) drive up demand, increase costs, and suppress supply which drives up prices. The landlord is responding to market forces and should try to get whatever he can for his property.  His cut of the rent is not a fixed variable.


#NotSponored
#CouldBeSponsored
#CallMe


What do you mean “actual cost”. The only true price is one that is agreed to in order to complete the transaction.  That’s not how inflation works.


What authorities?  Gee, this is about as lame as getting a threatening robocall from the IRS.


The science is settled. Trust the science. That’s how this works, right?


Yeah, I’m just mocking them with their own words.


To quote Hillary Clinton “At this point, what difference does it make?” ;)


Whatever dude. I’m not proposing any restrictions on anyone. I’m offering more choices without taking any choices away. If that isn’t good enough for some folks, that’s a them problem.

I can’t please everyone nor do I care to.


Not being reasonable is a way to be alone with your principles.

Like I said, if the code can be made to do it I’ll offer it as a separate bot and let people decide for themselves.


I think so. COVID shots are, essentially, just another variant of a flu shot now.

It would be interesting to see how much the pharmacy makes on flu shots vs COVID shots. It wouldn’t surprise me if that influences the marketing


I’m a huge free speech guy. But this request isn’t unreasonable and I’m willing to at least look into if I can do it.  No promises but I will try to look at the code this weekend. I’m running a fork of someone else’s code so I didn’t build it from scratch.

I’m also willing to make it a separate bot so people have the choice to block the original bot and follow the one with content warnings. Again, I think this is reasonable.  Feel free to disagree, that’s fine. I’m not being asked to take the bot down as that would be a hard no even though that had certainly led to a bunch of domain blocks which I think is silly but it’s their instance and they can be silly with it. But if this option allows more people to follow the raw content, that’s ok with me.


Oh yeah it’s always the cities that screw things up. NY, IL, CA, MA aren’t insane outside of the cities.


Yeah not dating you’re saner than Ontario and Quebec isn’t exactly high praise :)


When in Rome as the saying goes.


Tier 2?  How insulting. :).


I’ve had that happen to me on LinkedIn of all places.  Blocked long before we ever spoke.


The sad thing is that folks who pay the ransom don’t always get their data back in any reasonable amount of time.  It’s almost like the criminals didn’t spend much time optimizing their unencryption code.


Hmmm…I’ll have to look at the bot code and see how easy that is.


To be fair, there is difference between a doctor checking Google and someone who hasn’t studied medicine.

It’s like the old joke where a guy is interviewing for a coding job. The boss says “I should only have to pay $35K for someone who will just copy/paste from Github”.   The candidate says, “You’re going to pay me $100K because I know what to copy/paste from GitHub”


Well, the CPI turned out to be a nothing burger, but you never know.  In any case, now that the news is out I put on a 5-lot 16-day Calendar with the shorts at 4460C, longs 5 days out.  Vol is still quite low so I prefer to be long Vega.

One of these things is not like the other.....


Tech is, ultimately, a productivity tool. Much like power tools. It may not directly feed or transport you but it enables getting those things better, cheaper, faster, and at scale never seen before in human history.

You could dig a ditch with your hands, a spoon, or a shovel. But construction equipment like a backhow can do it better when scale is needed.


Do what must be done, Lord Autumn.


Trump and Vince became close as WWF/E held lots of live events at venues owned by Trump at the time.
These events pre-date Rock.

Possible?  Sure. But I wouldn’t say likely.


I took off the put diagonal today for an 18% loss which sucks but it was much worse earlier in the trade and with expiration day tomorrow (and the fact that I have a surgery tomorrow) meant that I really just wanted to close this one.  Also, it was small trade so the dollar loss wasn't too bad.  I'm in cash until next week.
