Thanks for the detailed response. I guess ill ask you the same question i asked the other guy. From your write up it does sound like theres less gamble-y strategies people use. I haven't actually traded anything yet but have been thinking about jumping in with some money i dont care about losing all that much. I was thinking about sticking to the big cap companies, buying ITM 2, 3, 4 weeks ahead of earnings and selling the day before to capture IV gains. Is that a reasonable strategy assuming you could stay disciplined and not hold through earnings and get crushed?

Oh definitely, the pilot union sent out a pretty depressing email this morning about trying to get the 2k pilots who just got fired home from work. They're still allowed to fly on other airlines for now and we gotta take care of em as best we can.

If you're in the US, then your long-term health care needs are the ultimate determinant.

A 33% increase is a pretty massive difference lmao and when its most popular destinations are jammed airports everyone else flies to for marginally more money spirit just doesn’t have much of an advantage. One thing people on Reddit also don’t realize is that the average American is not giving up luxury for affordability. This just isn’t Europe whether it’s because they can afford it or because they put it in a credit card or they save less I don’t know and I don’t care but we see it in cars, we see it in phones, we see it in airlines, we see it in hotels, we see it in homes - Americans will spend more money rather than give up amenities and downsize.

Citrix. That is Citrix. I wish Citrix was still public so I could short them. I don’t care if I went broke. I’d be happy and homeless

I typically don’t do short term options or care for much in the short term. To put into perspective earnings growth growing into the quarter for the sp500 was supposed to be 14%. Now the growth was 28% that’s one of the biggest beats I’ve ever seen. Despite the massive moves in the market that have happened so far I believe they’ve been supported by fundamentals. In my opinion. Any short term period market makers can try to get you out of positions/manipulate the stock and make you lose money. Even the most perfect charts can trade sideways a few extra weeks or months just to kill options. If I had any advice just try to look a little further out than daily fluctuations

Even moreso considering the standard of care that airlines provide their passengers and crew. I don't know if you could find another industry that compromises so little on safety and still turns a profit.

Your mom doesn’t care. “Pleasure first, money second” she tells me

Where is the mom? Can’t she take care of the kid during prime market hours or 1-2 hrs let’s say

Stop being a gambling addict and take care of your child. Nothing about your stupid decisions is funny.
