Thanks I found it earlier on Fidelity even though that’s not my brokerage. This is highly speculative, to name this company in the same sentence as Mag-7 DC providers, hyperscalers, and GPU makers. We all know power will be coming at a premium in the future as they continue to add new DC’s (globally really) but this companies product isn’t exactly proven for general purpose usage yet. Other companies like Oklo, Nuscale etc can’t even get mini reactors approved to power these data centers, so someone please tell me how NUCLEAR fission rector would get approved here?

3.3k to live on, if you made 200k out of college you are more than likely in a major city. i live in DC and call tell you a 1 bedroom apartment can easily be 2.5-4k. so with a room mate thats split lets say 1.5k each. ok, now that 3.3 is now 1.8, and then we have phone, internet, split utilities, and maybe even a car. we can put that down to 1.5 with a car or 1.2 with a car and low payment. you now have 1k a month for all your other expenses like games, knives, motorcycles (just looking at ops history). this is an exremely tight budget, and how many people in their early 20s are living like this while being smart? cmon now, why you so butt hurt about this.

Iran state TV says ceasefire to expire at midnight GMT Iran’s state-owned TV channel says a ceasefire with the US in force since April 8 will expire at 3:30am on Wednesday, Tehran time (00:00 GMT). The timing is consistent with when the 14-day truce went into effect, although Trump recently extended it to Wednesday evening, Washington, DC, time. Mediator Pakistan, meanwhile, has said the ceasefire will end at 23:50 GMT today.

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person but SpaceX has re-launched the same booster in such short periods of time that full refurbishment of all 9 engines obviously wouldn’t be possible that quickly. The DC-X project was based on hydrogen fuels which are notoriously fickle, metallurgy has improved dramatically, sensors and computing power has increased by orders of magnitude, and lots of real world launches have provided priceless data. Pretending like this is some amazing feat when Blue Origin also has a reusable rocket and Vulcan is using the same engines and they have seen the data but are secretly hiding the truth is just silly. Hell a bunch of the DC-X engineers went to work for Blue Origin. And just because SpaceX is a private company, doesn’t mean no one has seen the data- institutional investors do get access to that sort of thing. Plus with SpaceX going public, everyone will be able to see the books so it would be pretty stupid to lie about it. Given the rapid turn-around times we’ve seen for many of the boosters-

That's what I keep thinking. I have compared it to The Guardian and BBC, and I feel that the Al Jazeera live news is more comprehensive, less fluff, and a lot of just straight forward facts.

A big part of my outlook is time in the market and just life exposure in general. A key thing was when GWOT was happening, i was in Afghanistan mainly working with military contractors and they were always going on about how much $ they were making being out there. And i know from 11-14 they just kept coming in. Flip side, the narrative was we were over there "Fighting for your freedom." etc... Nah we were making a ton of $. I started investing in 11 (something about Jackson-Hewitt going private got my attention) and for anything longterm, it's really just up at the end of the day, but I've always been tech heavy/broad market. At the end of the day I would just buy each dip when they come (if i had the means). I was pretty passive until i did crypto in 17-18. Made a little, but didn't hold anything other than RVN (mistake...i had a metric ton of Doge bought at fractions of cents..) I got into options for the first time in 21 and did GME from $2k to $58k and that was a big turning point. Been trading every day since. That made for some crazy green/red years but for the last 2 of them I've since taken alot of that profit and put it into safer positions/dividend producers. I hit the retirement button around that time @ 36 and it's been great ever since. I still buy shares almost every red day and still do 0dte SPX scalps for the first couple hours. End of the day though, i think I'll all manipulated BS. That being said, it also definitely pays the bills. My view/ experience and perspective are always going to be unique for me vs anyone else, and that's why I never recommend anyone trade like I do or demand anyone see the market how I see it but also, at this point I probably won't be able to see if differently because of my own personal results. Until it changes how it acts, I'll keep doing the same thing since it is working/has already worked for me... but I'd love for it to do a nice -50% 1 min candle at open one day. Sure I'll lose money, but it would be pretty nice to see some overdue karma. How that happens? I dunno. Currently, i don't see the people who have access to the controls of this system (who are also making stupid money off of it) allowing it to do what it "should" do vs keeping it running exactly as it is. Politicians/DC/Wall Street are not the type to do something because it's "right", they do things that are profitable and keep that rich rich. Aaaaand it's 5:30am.

You're worried about decay on the long-dated leg.  When a stock finally stops trending and goes quiet, three things happen at once — and only one of them helps you.    - The actual sequence of events on a DC after an extended move normally plays out this way .. and I would appreciate comments to this observation of mine: Imagine a stock that just ripped 10% in a wek, you put on a DC at the new price, and then it finally pauses: Day 1-3 of the pause: You feel great. Fronts are decaying, stock is sitting still, spread is marking losing value. The spread marks flat or slightly red despite the stock not moving. Day 4-7 - IV starts to come in hard as the market realizes the move is over. Your back legs start losing value. The spread marks flat or slightly red despite the stock not moving. Day 8-14: Two scenarios: (1)      Stock stays genuinely quiet: Front decay eventually outpaces back-leg IV loss. You limp to a small profit, maybe 10-20% on the debit, if you're lucky. (2)      Stock resumes trending or reverses sharply (common after a pause — consolidations resolve): one of your short strikes gets tested, and now you're back to the gamma problem from the last answer. In other words: **passage of time is not hurting you  — you're getting hurt by volatility going away.**

gizamo

If Russia or China bombed DC and took out half of the White House, half of Congress, and half of SCOTUS, whatever came out of it would certainly be called "regime change". It's a drastically different world After an event like that. It changes everything about who runs Iran and how they'll run it. Most importantly, the new leadership will know that there's always the potential for that to happen again and again. No one cares if they're hardliners. That only means the bombings continue, which still prevents nukes, and it increases the price of US energy exports.

Accurate-Exchange298

Bottom Line - Don't do it. for lack of a better analogy , a DC on a trending stock is like setting up a lemonade stand in front of a parade. Everyone's going somewhere, nobody's stopping for you. And here is why : A Double Calendar wants three things: (1)    the stock to sit still (2)    volatility to stay elevated on longer-dated options (3)     time to collect the slow drip of premium decay. A stock that's moved 8-10% in a week in one direction gives you the opposite of all three. Problem 1 -  Stocks in motion stay in motion Trending stocks don't park. They keep going. Your "tent" gets left behind. Problem 2 -  High IV isn't helping you here. People hear "high volatility = good for calendars" and stop thinking. That's true when the stock is *quiet*. A stock that's actually moving 2% a day isn't quiet — the volatility is already being *realized*, not just priced. You're not going to collect the calm premium you need. Problem 3 -  The losing side bleeds fast. Once the stock moves past one of your strikes, that side turns into a small short position against the trend. Every extra dollar the stock moves costs you more than the last. **Meanwhile, the other side of your trade is basically dead weight.** Problem 4 - You're putting on a trade that says "I don't care about direction." . The stock is telling you loud and clear which direction it's going. Hope this is helpful

Friendly-Motor-3201

That’s what I was trying to understand, to get a good income out of DC we would expect a stock to go volatile after a non volatility period, is that where you would make money with dc ?

Aigpil

the trend is the problem, but not just because of direction -- there are two specific dynamics: first, on a stock that just ran 8-10%, near-term IV is usually elevated relative to long-dated IV (inverted term structure). calendars make money when near-dated IV is lower than long-dated. when near > far, your short near-dated legs are expensive to close and the long legs don't compensate. the DC loses on IV normalization even if the stock goes completely flat. second, 'IV is high' is probably a post-move spike -- the market pricing in continuation risk. that spike tends to mean-revert fast once the stock consolidates. entering DC long-vega right after a vol spike is buying at the top of the IV range. the setup where DCs actually shine: IV is low, you expect a binary move in either direction (earnings, FDA), and you're genuinely uncertain which way. trending + already high IV is basically the opposite of the ideal entry.

Connect_Boss6316

Youd make a loss - the amount depends on how wide your strikes are, and how far away your expiries are. For DC's you want the stock to remain fairly stable.

If you had enough money to buy a house (under $2m) in DC, would it be better to finance it? On one hand we don't want to pay an exorbitant mortgage because the interest rates are so high. On the other hand, I worry Trump is going to make DC an unlivable place for a myriad of reasons, and the price of the house would potentially plummet and we paid for it in cash. What do you think?

TheGRS

I'm agreed with this being the reason behind the why, and investment bankers have essentially agreed with this. They can see that the sentiment in DC is to exit this as fast as possible. For all of his bloviating I think Trump just doesn't care about this whole thing and only sees that its doing more harm to his image than good. He was only in it for the quick W. The blockade likely doesn't last through next week. If boots go on the ground I think the calculus changes immensely. Serious attacks on infrastructure likely change things quite a bit as well. So keep an eye on major terrorist attacks. But I don't see Trump doing any bombings on major bridges, refineries, or power plants despite his rhetoric.

MesaBit

Trump is currently in DC. But that doesn’t mean that’s where his account was logged in when this post was made. Real tinfoil hat moment. If his account is logged in somewhere - let’s say Russia - where the local time is 4:23 PM. Would his post reflect that?

OneTwoThreePooAndPee

Hand shake promises for purchase of compute are being rolled back all over the place, the PE firms like Blue Owl, who are huge players in the neocloud market, are already starting to buckle, and all the big players have switched to using their own chips instead of Nvidia meaning billions of dollars of forward looking DC deals are going to become unnecessary. I actually think we are gonna see some really troubling numbers from Coreweave and their master Nvidia this next earnings cycle. And it's gonna cause a ripple of failures that start at Nvidia's circular investments creating their wild explosion in demand, and end with private equity firms that have been bundling that bad debt into investments for life insurance and pensions. I wrote about it a bit on my Substack, it's in my profile if you're interested.

I more than understand the science.  And the question boils down to no pun intended is it cost effective to have a DC in space at scale relative to building it on earth.  The science isn’t the issue, it always comes down to economics, hence why the idea is being explored.  Come now impossible? This doesn’t delve anywhere into the realm or even get remotely close to science level impossibilities.  FTL now that’s a challenge, you getting up and walking through the wall, not impossible but highly unlikely… my point this is simply a question of if it’s worth it or not.

> We have a war going on so we can't have an election... This is such a silly talking point. Elections are run by states. If Trump declares "No Elections because WAR", blue states can still hold elections and send reps to DC. There's not enough bodies in ICE or DHS to monitor all polling stations and harass voters. If red states go along with his insanity, then those red states lose the ability to send people to DC. If they don't go along with his insanity they undermine him. The only way for Trump or his festering clump of hangers on can "stop elections" is to literally start arresting and executing Democratic politicians and that's not "stopping elections", that's a violent coup. A violent coup is an entirely different ball of wax.

Taco-Man123

This is a really good breakdown. You're right that the AC/DC split would naturally reflect the character of the underlying stock, and the buyback point is quite interesting - that's the kind of event that becomes much more visible when the components are separated. Your edit about the Verizon AC becoming high beta is a great observation. When you strip out the dividend stream from a stock that's primarily held for income, whatever's left on the capital appreciation side becomes a very different risk profile than the whole share. That could create some interesting opportunities for people who want exposure to specific risk characteristics without the full package. It's worth looking at what Permuto has published about how the trusts are structured. They're starting with MSFT, then expanding to AVGO and AAPL. I'd imagine the balance between AC and DC would look quite different across those three, which might be part of why they picked that lineup.

DecembersDragons

What a weird little innovation. OK ... so AC + DC = SP The asset certificate price plus the dividend certificate price has to equal the share price of the stock. Because that's what the share price buys you - capital appreciation and dividends.  For high beta growth stocks AC = SP. Or close to it. For something like Verizon DC = SP or close to it. Something like MSFT would see more of a balance. Announced stock buyback programs would be big events for this sort of asset - increasing AC and decreasing DC immediately. 

acadia11x

I started to respond then said let’s see where we are with research, and it is actively being pursued.  The question always boils down to is it actually cheaper than running a DC on earth. But we certainly have the technology to create a space DC.
