                  I got some depressing news today.

                  NVDA went over $23

                  I had 40 December $20 call contracts that I bought for $.03, which expired last month. Essentially, if I had spent another $100 to $150 and bought the January contract with just one more month of expiration, today I could have made over $13,000.

                  D'OH!

                      All of your dollars will be worthless when the USD loses reserve status and the zombies attack.

                      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                        I don't know... if zombies do attack I'm pretty sure that will stimulate spending and lower unemployment.

                          Are we going to feed the unemployed to the undead and make them do the shitty jobs?
                          That could solve a couple of problems.....

                            I'm stuck in a highly urbanized area with one 12 gauge and no rural setting in which to flee. I'm fucked...you guys have fun.

                              I've often wondered if it has always been this way and we just didn't hear about it because previously there weren't 24/7 news cycles that have realized that sensationalism sells. Human factor, your shit don't seem so bad when you hear that somebody else's shit just got washed down the river after 1000 dead birds fell on there roof.
