Comprehension. You are merely rewording my statement as an interrogatory.

“if they are long some real stars, it’s possible that those names could outperform the S&P 500 Put premium losses in a market rally.”

I'm still not comprehending or maybe the other way around?

But that's ok no great loss, we can move on from it.

He will sign it. We are well past the idea that any "fair" trade deal will ever be signed. China is on a rampage putting everyone in debt to make their currency the "currency of record". Directly attacking US dominance in trade. In exchange, China will USA-ize the national resources when those countries can't pay. Once oil starts being sold to those countries in Chinese currency, the US may "liberate" China.

There will be no deal. The market will crash. But the market already knows there will be no deal. SO BUY THE FUCKING DIP

Phase one compete. Prepare to BTFD.

SunTrader,

You can reply as much as you want, just stop with all the bullshitting playing around.

Why is this thread still ongoing? Haven't we established the fact it was a hedge?

It's gotten a bit off topic... weird for ET I know.

Based on the 1% metric, it's clearly a hedge. I would really like to see the specific strikes and expirations and ratios to get a better sense of their position. Even then, it's not like Bridgewater is any more prescient than anyone else. A lot of people smarter than Dalio have been wrong about a lot of stuff over the past few years in terms of economics, market behavior and what the administration would or wouldn't do.

Ok not just not reply but ignore you "cringe worthy naive one", which another trader correctly called you out for ... without much of a reaction on your part . Yet me talking reality somehow set you off.

Anyway c ya. No worries.
