you wasted time on this thread.

the guy is a complete waste of space. Eventually he will have blocked or been blocked by everyone snd he can live in his own echo chamber where he can stop bullets with his mind.

A wonderfully self-correcting behavior pattern; the first real bullet that comes along cures it forever.

He has gone on a /block spree. People who have done this before, in this fashion in such a quick time-frame, usually fade away from the forum, because the people they block are the ones giving them the most salad advice. Because the person has them on block and does not get said salad advice, they fail in their trading, and fade away.

This is now the fate of earth_imperator.

This has been his trajectory from day one. Nothing says "drooling moron with zero chance of improvement" like arrogance without competence.

This may also be a good time and place to reflect on the all too common whine of such morons, here and elsewhere - particularly in free forums where newbies can get help from knowledgeable, experienced people: "but WHYYYYYY is everybody here so mean to meeeee???"

Dear moron: you are here begging for help because the world has kicked you in your microscopic nuts. You've done something wrong, you know you've done something wrong, and the one thing you're terrified of is that someone will call you on having done something wrong. Again, making a mistake is normal; what makes you a micro-testicled moron is coming in here with your dander up and ready to tell anyone who isn't "nice" to you to fuck off and die.

The professionals here, or anywhere, have seen and dealt with your kind before - to the point of being bored with the same stupid mistakes. They're not getting paid to put up with your shit, but they're still here giving good advice.

Part of the microscopic, minuscule "price" to be paid for that good advice is putting your little enflamed, infected ego on hold, and listening humbly - and possibly reacting with gratitude, at least if you have the slightest claim to human decency - as those professionals give you their (possibly somewhat gruff, critical, and circumlocution-free) advice. Be aware that they may, and probably will, roll their eyes at what is to them trivial, boring, and unnecessary "had you only studied the basics." (Yes, there is some validity in saying "but I didn't know what the basics were!" - but if you listen some more, and then ask politely, you'll be told that as well.)

If you want to learn, you need to be humble. Or, y'know, go pay for an education - safe spaces, grades instead of actual learning, and professors who will tell you that your opinion is as good as anyone's... that'll be $250k, please!

@earth_imperator chose to be a moron. [shrug] Better luck next lifetime, I guess.

People gang up and eventually point out the, often obvious or basic, flaw and reams of entertaining banter ensues.

See Cunningham's Law. "The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

But ......
If the stock closes @ 130 on expiration.
Your short 100P + long 130C = 8.35 profit
Compared to .....
Long stock position @ 100 = 30 profit

Graph for first 210 days looks nice but how likely is it to follow that nice curve?
Then figure in spreads on the 2 positions when you try to close & your advantage over the equity is probably minimal.

As said, it works only within the said first 7 months obviously, as the said blue line does not work beyond that limit. Therefore your example for the expiration is a wrong example.

 

[earth_imperator]

These people are dumb like sh*t! B/c it clearly is stated that it works only in the first 7 months, but these dumbos are talking of the outcome at expiration after 12 months, ie. beyond the 7 months.
I just wonder how these people got so dumb. I suspect covid vaxxines... I'm not vaxxed! And proud of it!
