Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I almost bought puts.
Realized I lack the knowledge.
So I chose not to.
If you bought puts at the wrong time, you would have lost money, and then you would be doubly upset when it actually cratered.
1 sad is better than 2 sad + poor.
Smarter than most even if that ends up the right call in hindsight.
The market can remain irrational, etc
I'll bet puts were really, really expensive.
Yea I have no idea how they work so probably. 😅
I'll sell you the opportunity to take my share right now and sell it, if you promise to buy me another share in 3 months at the going rate then. If I guess right, that share will cost as much as it does right now, so when I get my share back, it's still worth what it was before and I keep the fee you paid to borrow my share. If you guessed right, you can replace that share at a much lower cost in 3 months.
The cost I'm going to ask to lend you my share will go up as the likelihood of the price going down later on increases. If it's really, really likely that the cost will go down, I'm going to charge your ass off to borrow my share to offset the potential loss I'm going to take.
God damn the stock market is just pure unadulterated gambling
Yes
This is why I don’t play in options, I can never keep them straight. I apparently meant I considered shorting the stock.
