Thats because everyone and anyone said it was dumb. It destroys any reason to continue the war and causes decades of reconstruction to get the oil he wants. Also I'm pretty sure he's not talking to anyone. I think they pay actors to get on the phone sound iranian and just get him to sign papers they want him to sign.

no one pretty much answered and i got out of options since this market and admin defies all logic Any strategy works until it doesn’t. but a iron condor is simply just 2 credit spreads on each side. in other words, a iron condor is a call spread and a put spread together. In the end, youre hoping the price stay in-between your short legs. If you sell call and then a put spread most system will end up showing your position as a Iron Condor even if they were done separate. You can open and close them separately. imo call side gets blown through too often. I suggest you get more comfortable with spreads first and then carry on. it took me a year just to understand the lingo bullshit You collect more profit generally speaking than credit spreads but your window of how right you need to be also increases. i made decent money doing it on spx. iron condor on stocks is committing suicide, only indexes….cash settled.  I think as a retail trader, pick 2, maybe 3 strategies that you are good at and become awesome at those.. I have a coworker that has made a killing that will info dump all day long about IC but that's all he does You use the best structure based upon whatever opinion you have on whatever stock or index you're trading. Could be straddles, strangles, call or put spreads, etc. Also, read an options book and actually learn about options as a whole. Not just "theta" strategies which are just short volume trades. It's not something you half ass and if you do just do covered calls Look up John Hull to start [](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/articles/43980704794004)[](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/sections/38303584022676-Accessibility)

Going to war in a submarine sounds awful Let's hope we don't hit any sharp rocks before we get there and instantly drown or get crushed

never understood the rivalry in here between bears and bulls, stocks go up and down cuh the market don't care about "bear gang" or any of that sh\*t, the market will make both bulls and bears homeless if you have no risk management skills

I want to meme about I'M NOT READING ALL THIS but it's a decent take. Agree that de-risking right now feels like a prudent move - but I can't stand bonds. Fortunately, I have a chunk of student loans at 6%, so I'll just be diverting some of my monthly contributions, which would normally go into equities, into a risk-free 6% return which doesn't feel too shabby right now. Bonds earn less than that, so I don't feel any need to buy them until I'm debt free down to the ~4% they yield. > Trustworthy companies like Vanguard bundle these junk companies together and sell them to index investors the same way Wall Street firms bundled together terrible mortgages and rated them AAA during the Great Recession. Don't totally agree with this take. Bundling things into ETFs isn't about disguising shit amongst the gold - the entire logic is to just own everything.

I think the market reaction to blatant lies is as much bullshit as the next guy. But you can't change reality- you can only trade on it. If the market "believes" the bullshit then it doesn't matter what I think, what you think, or what is factual. The reality is that the market pumps on any bullshit and just never dips.
