How are the wallstreetbets guys so successful?

Doh. You do know how hedging works, right? If you are making money on your hedges, you are taking losses elsewhere in your business. In fact, "Bridgewater Pure Alpha was down 13% this month through Thursday following a drop of 8% in the first two months of the year" as per BBG.

LOL

You don't clearly understand the point.

The key thing is this option position generates money. Period.

No matter what they will do with it.

But it's no-brainer they will buy more and way much cheaper. This whole Corona thing is just a way how the money is taken out from the dumb you and me :)

Can we please adhere to some basic punctuation and grammar rules? It's very hard to read this, especially for the those of us who are drunk or high.

Anyway, back to the question. We don't know what the global economy is going to look like after the pandemic and it's very possible that the US will be the loser in the brave new world. Even if the old world order prevails, it could take years to recover. Bridgewater does not have the time to wait, they have to show a profit annually or they are going to lose investors.

Dude, they actually lost money on this move (i.e. they are down ~20% on the year) so the option position did not help them.

Those who have money will buy more and way cheaper. Like myself, since I actually made a lot of money on this move (volatility is usually good for me) and am sitting mostly in cash and govies. The whole "conspiracy" angle is silly here.

My opinions are supported by the facts (e.g. that Bridgewater has lost money this year despite "very huge profit" from the options position). But if you don't like facts, that's ok, it's fashionable these days.

Your "facts"... :D

Let me put this another way: Just wait and it will all make sense for you. I hope.
