This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

One Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass, and so the idea was lost, seemingly for ever.

-- change a few things around to make it personal to him and that's a quote any Adam's fan would be happy with.

These guys know exactly the way the Fed is going to go because the Fed told them. They are pricing in another 1.5 points I'd bet and have models on more. .75 this week . They price it in because if the Fed pivots, great but they wont care because it's now just bonus . If you were investing that much money, wouldn't you price that in as well, even if it doesent happen?

Yeah, it's always seemed more if an ego , I know I'm right sorta play, but hey, it has to work for someone or no one would do it.

Myself personally, and I'll share this here so not many people read it and I don't get laughed at too much is that I believe post covid market is like a train that didn't derail, but came close, it's dusting itself off and it has to start out super slow so it's slowly able to un jumble the cars up. In other words, we aren't going to see enough of a drop to make rolling this worth the premiums. This is the part I get laughed at for, I believe we had legitimate inflation, maybe up to 6 points, the rest was gouging. That's why I think the markets aren't tanking completely, I think they are raising rates into real inflation that in and of itself is inflated by overcharging. So the Fed will overshoot, but won't cause much of a recession because the market( except housing) will run faster. But another idiot opinion I have is that after 2008, the banks have compartmentalized enough that a huge drop in housing will not cause the whole market to tank again, because they do learn, not to not do the same shit to make money, but when they do the same shit to make money that tanked the economy, put it in its own box with all sorts of safeties so it doesent taint other aspects.

Wrote a novel here, sorry, but I feel better for having shared my niave opinion. Be gentle anyone reading, I'm highly regarded

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of rolling options, just because its what I want to do when I'm chasing, but in OPs case , I would definitely look into it. Imo , which is like an asshole...blah blah, the market will tank, not as bad as people think it will as it seems to have disconnected from the economy overall on a real time basis. It's on a bigger lag now and I believe won't catch up to reality until end of Jan beginning of February next year.

Any game that costs that much should be forced to have a demo level. You used to be able to rent the games to see if you like them. Now , I guess you still can through mail order or maybe redbox but redbox never has new releases in stock and mail order is a pain in the ass. It's too much money to go take a chance on a random game. I just wait it out cause if it sucks , it will be on sale in about 3 weeks and if it's popular , it'll be on sale in about 4.
