THREAD - (Short term Options)
Many of the messages I get regarding options are referencing outside the money (OTM) calls w/ expirations a week or two out (or less)
It's no wonder these traders are often very concerned (even frantic) about the outcome of their trades.
a.k.a. Long term options typically w/ an expiration of longer than a year)
While playing OTM weekly options has the potential for huge returns, & will undoubtedly get your adrenaline pumping, it's also an easy way to lose your💰
Each trade should be a *very* small percentage of your account, and you should assume that every trade you make is going to zero.
You can still make massive returns on options that have expirations that are 2+ months, even 2+ years out without taking on so much immediate risk.
Once you take the time to fully understand the power of compounding, you'll be much less likely to want to trade vehicles with extremely high risk.
When I started placing more focus on consistency, protecting my capital, and compounding my money instead of hitting home runs, my account grew exponentially faster 📈

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
