Why XBI and curious if you have any thoughts on Precision Neuroscience?

Thanks. I'm looking at some put bull spreads.

Which calls are you looking at? The price action on options seems to indicate that people are expecting a rebound in shares and call premiums are somewhat elevated.

Bought some CNC. Sold LULU and UNH puts.

I see it the same way. Not suing is admitting it is real. Suing gives his base something to hold on to and say "courts were not in his favor", "the judge is corrupt", whatever, even if the letter is 100% legitimate.

Selling some VG puts. Trading around my core position.

Do you get charged 3% markup swiming the card or is there a 5% BT fee?

I was born and grew up in Uzbekistan (when it was part of USSR and then some time after). Beautiful country and fantastic food. If you are not US-based there was a fund that focused on Asia and that included Uzbekistan. I can try finding it. FWIW I know a couple of lawyers who lost multiple arbitration cases involving Uzbekistan, representing various entities and businesses. The local Uzbek recent immigrant community near me (and some of my childhood friends) have all sold all their apartments/assets in Uzbekistan and are making their life in the US.

Lulu pants, Lulu starter.

@ourkid8 - your take on Israel/Palestine is based on extremely shallow knowledge of history and any appreciation of the Middle East. Since you have friends who are orthodox Jews who are "adamantly against Israel", why don't you ask them if they deny Jewish ties to the lands where Israel is? And then ask them how they envision Jewish people maintaining their presence in those lands, given their treatment by every country in that neighborhood. I find it equally hilarious that you are supporting self-determination of Palestinians, but you, in the same sentence, reject self-determination of jews. It's not a novel argument. It squares up with many of those who let their emotions drive their thinking. Anyone who has spent any time studying history, appreciating the context, etc. would realize that this is a very nuanced problem.

that's how I'm treating it. i'm selling some some o&g names and buying month out puts.

You can't just look at this in a vacuum. Israel didn't just raise Hamas because they wanted a pet dragon. Israel had to deal with PLO who was causing havoc in the entire region and had a policy of non-negotiation. I can argue that Oslo accords happened because Hamas came to life. The money transfers that everyone is so obsessed with was a calculated risk. Even Bibi acknowledged that. This is why it is ridiculous when some argue that Israel wanted to starve Gazans or whatever other conspiracy theory pro-Palestinians cook up. Yes, Israel was illegally blockading the strip but Israel was allowing money to flow in to pay for gov't services, provided electricity, food, water, and were allowing more work permits into Gaza. All of this was done to keep Gaza stable. In exchange Israel got nothing but rockets and then Oct 7th. So now that we have a little bit of historical context, you can appreciate why everyone is complaining about Hamas being in power.

I'm with Xerxes here. The most Israel should do is continue to undermine the Iranian regime slowly. People of Iran will take care of the rest. An all-out war is between those two won't be good for anyone.

What some selected in cabinet are saying and reality on the ground are vastly divergent. You don't have to like the facts but you can't invent them.

Did Irene Shashar or Shlomo Monsour sign it? Ah right. Inconvenient facts, right?

Nobody is being starved to death. Look at the girl who was starving herself for 9 days. She had to be carted to the hospital. Gazans civilians look fed and healthy (look at the hostage exchange cinema). Ask yourself, if Gaza gets aid for free....why is food so expensive in Gaza? Who gets possession of the food to resell it at such high price? Take the emotions out.

Arguing with pro-Palestinian side is a full-time debunking of myths. Israeli government or sources never reported that Yahya Sinwar was starving himself for 72 hours. I challenge you to find the article Middle East Monitor (MEM) is citing (or I can save you some time and tell you that the source MEM is citing is someone in Saudi Arabia). Smotrich is a moron and his opinion is just that, an opinion. Not consensus. Shall I pull up Hamas's original charter that called for extermination of jews?

Again, the blockade's legitimacy was contested before Oct 7th. At this point, you have a war. Blockades are allowed during wars. There is no legitimate argument that Israel is imposing collective punishment on civilians by blockading Gaza. Israel permits enough food to enter Gaza to provide for the civilians. Let's talk about Hamas stealing food that enters Gaza. The same food that is meant for its civilians.

I agree. I used to sell M puts and calls when there was a tad more vol. Right now these options are priced for barely any movement.

Wrong (and I love all the Reddit University lawyers!). This ship wasn't protected under international maritime law. Blockades can extend into international waters. Now, before Oct 7th, you'd probably have an argument that the blockade was illegal. However, since Oct 7th, Israel is at war with Gaza's legitimate and elected Gov't (Hamas), ergo, the blockade is now legal, and our friend Greta was lawfully detained. I guess you can add that to the list of misinformation pushed by the pro-Palestinian side.

Thanks!

which puts are you writing? i've been looking to write some but M's low vol is keeping these puts too cheap for me to write any.

I'm not really sure what you are arguing. I said that tires are there for missile protection. Your article says exactly the same thing.

Tires on the planes is an anti-missile tactic. It's very effective against missiles that rely on pattern matching. Never mind the cost/return of throwing a bunch of used tires on a plane. Drones are a different facet of an attack.
