if it’s not that much money it doesn’t matter. I hate every time I hear someone say that stupid quote.

Now if it’s your life savings...that’s a different story.

Lol I've pulled just under 30k on SAVE puts this month. Been pretty unreal. Sit on cash over the weekends, Read the monday chaos and buy the highs out of the money sell on Friday mornings. Investing is for a 401k. TD accounts are for yolos.

Spirit at 14.xx now, 1 billion valuation value.



Thinking of picking up 1,000 shares.

“not much money” is a relative term.

if I purchased $20,000 of spirit stock today at $15 and then when this whole Corona scare is over stock climbs back up and I decide to sell at $30 I just doubled my money...I made $20,000.

Okay lets say the gamble was wrong at Spirit stock dropped to $2 a share. Then the gamble lost But at least I didn’t bet my entire life savings....$20,000 is a lot but I can get over it.

a small amount of money is very recoverable, regardless of where you work...

Question is if they take this further and we stop flying for days or weeks ala 9/11. How long can we realistically survive that?

sure but the problem if the stock goes to 2 there is real chance that you could be out of a job. Wouldn’t 20k be nice to have when you are out on unemployment
