If you won the lottery, what would be your ONE crazy splurge?

The first thing I'd do is throw my phone out the window on the highway. Or in to a lake. Id hold off and throw it in the ocean at the beginnig of part two, but that would take too long A year long vacation with several destinations. 6 months all over Europe, and several beach destinations. Bora Bora, Turks and Caicos, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Rio, etc. All by my mother fucking self, too!

A ni66a can't roll???

i would buy my wife a new pair of tits.... and have them put on her back!!!!!!

Awesome!!

I'd also hire a panel of 10 experts in the fields of sociology, criminology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, communications, english comprehension, history, humanities, and anthropology to respond to Matt (03trublugt) every time he makes some outlandish post so that they could comprehensively show him exactly why he is wrong from every single direction. Not because we don't do it beyond a shadow of a doubt already; it would just be HILARIOUS.

You get tired of waiting the 9 days. Rich folk don't wait

God bless

You can't "buy" or "sell" the actual VIX because it's just a number derived from a mathematical formula. Actually, being an accountant, you're no doubt familiar with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The vix is actually the standard deviation backed out of the Black-Scholes model. It represents the price the market is paying for option insurance.

Due to its properties, you can only play it via options on the .vix, or an instrument like the VXX - a 60 day forward on the .vix. I prefer the VXX ... but you have to understand contango, negative roll-yield, and the way it reacts to the .vix b/c it's a futures contract. Regardless, you want the shortest term expiration you can get - VXX is shortest I've seen - to minimize negative roll yield. You'll get the roll yield problem no matter how you play it.

Vix represents the annualized implied price movement on the S&P over the next 30 days. Since we're dealing with standard deviations and not variances, you divide the vix by the square root of 12 to get the implied S&P movement (either up or down) over the next 30 days.

Vix of 15 (divide 15 by the sqrt of 12), implies a 30 day S&P500 movement (to the down or up side) of 4.3%.

I'm aware on not trading the VIX itself, VXX is what I got into. Contango was a new concept to me, one I'm pretty familiar with now.

I would buy or build a big ass church and start my own religion.......one that played good music from the 60's, and communion was a big fucking bong hit, and every time we say "Amen" a midget would pop up from a hidden trap door and run around the room with a horn, and kids would be supervised in a cool part of the church that had fun shit for them to do and where I hired ninja nannys to make sure they are taken care of while you are getting your church on, and every sunday half of the donations from the previous sunday would be given to a member of the church in a cool sort of church lottery, and busses would be able to pick you up for church and drop you off after church(don't want you driving around stoned), and everyone has to wear a robe that covers up there clothes so that no one can pull that "im better than you because of my clothes" bullshit, and at the end of each sunday church service......there will be a perfectly choreographed lightsaber duel.

it would be huge

Now THAT'S a church/religion I can get behind. If only I could get my employer to not care about the devil's weed.

Nobody is forced to take communion at my church! You can have a DrPepper instead.
To preach the word of the Good Lord, ya atleast gotta keep it interesting! lol

Midget, while funny, would be infinitesimally funnier with "communion." Why, what you describe would be like going to the races with no gas, going shooting with no bullets, or going fishing with no hooks! You can do it, but what's the point?

Well, I guess I could include a complimentary weed detox or whizzinator at the end of each sermon!

I would invest in one of those deals were I put in a $1k and get back $5k in no time. But I would go all in like Vegas. Go big or go home!!

Where's this deal, so I can do it right now

[soap]

i would buy me a new honda cbr 600rr. and a new house by lake fork,

[asphaltjunkie]

I would hire my own personal ball washer. I would find a young, attractive woman, pay her a very generous salary, benefits galore...just to have her wash my balls whenever I wanted.

I'd go to Space.

It's pretty cheap at $200K a flight. However in a few more years I fly on a SpaceX Dragon to the Bigelow space station. I think they expect those to cost about $5million per person.

I'd dump shitloads into whatever dfwm suggested.

I'd hire slow99 to invest my cash for me, then get a badass twin turbo'd GT, and hire a shitload of people to pit maneuver and tire strip the cops chasing me on my regular triple digit blasts through the city...

That'd be the awesome.

Divorce.
