I saw one of obama's prom pictures last week and started to think about future politicians and pictures on social media. i'm guessing about 75% of all high school students have an instagram/facebook account. (is it lower? how many high school students have a cell phone nowadays? maybe it's higher i don't know) but, as this new instagram-generation gets older, the old pictures of when they were younger are going to surface, and they'll be interesting right? 

when its 2040 (the instagram-generation will be in their 40s and 50s), how many politicians will be held back because of inappropriate college pictures? they're all going to surface somehow. i mean, there's just no way I can run for President at all, zero percent chance. there's too many inappropriate pictures out there. and 99% of the people i know, can not longer run for President of the United States because...there's too much crap out there. 

Just do it

RAGE TRAIN

i think my mom should be the president of the "derek not derrick club". whenever someone named Derek is mentioned, she asks for the spelling. if it's spelled DEREK, she says it's spelled correctly. if it's spelled derrick, she says it's spelled incorrectly. and i completely agree, it's derek, not derrick. it looks wrong.

just in case you were curious. here's my 2cents

zach not zack
jamie (i've got da gudz man) not jamee
steven not stephen
mark not marc
eric not erick
lindsey not lindsay
shawn not sean or shaun
and i'm not sure about krystle or crystal

i don't understand what bitcoin is. it's supposedly an online currency. that actually trades like a real currency. the japanese restaurant near me just started accepting bitcoin as payment. i've tried to research what bitcoin is online, and still can't seem to understand it completely. i want to pay someone $10 just to sit me down, and explain it stupid style

i heard if you start to pee, and then start to drink cold coffee, that you'll pee for as long as you're drinking the cold coffee. and umm, lets just say, um...try it

KEEP IT SIMPLE

there's a pretty big misconception (not for everyone, but to some) that when the stock market goes up, traders make money. and when the stock market goes down, traders lose money.

it could be true, but not necessarily.      ++options=stock options++

huh?

there are so many different types of traders. traders trade different things and look for different time frames. some people trade apple stock, some people trade bank of america options, some people trade bonds, some people trade currencies, some people trade coffee. some traders look for moves in the next 2 minutes, some traders look for moves in the next 2 years.

it seems like for the past couple months, all the headlines sound similar to "market soars to all time highs" or "S&P surges to break all time high..."    blah blah blah

yeah, that might be good for some traders, but it's definitely not favorable for how and what i trade. i trade equity options (mostly bank of america options and on a very short time frame, minutes). Equity options is basically the equivalent of insurance for stocks. just like any other type of insurance. people buy insurance for peace of mind. when people are worried, they buy insurance. when there is no fear or doubt, people don't want to buy insurance. for me, the more Options volume the better, that means more opportunity. that's why, options traders love volatility. they love fear/uncertainty. when there is fear/uncertainty/volatility in the market, the more action there is. when the market does nothing but go up (the state we are in now), there is no fear, no one is worried and therefore doesn't need/want insurance. 

just like if you're selling tornado insurance. if there hasn't been a tornado in the area in 10years, people aren't going to buy insurance because there is no fear. buuuuuut, if there's a tornado warning 3 weeks in a row. hmmmmm, people might be lining up. opportunity!

so basically, when stocks go up and there's nothing to fear/worry about, no one wants to buy stock options. buuuut, if we get some fear into the market, and we see a big pullback/small market crash, then suddenly, people start to worry and will look at options to hedge/speculate. so basically, for my style of trading, i prefer the stock market to crashhh. not saying bull markets are outright bad, just not FAVORABLE

i said before the ice was in my grill

it's gross how much i like bill simmons.
i've watched this clip 4 times in less than an hour. and it's hilarious

cross sport odds

i'm not a big boxing fan. but i really like big hyped-up events. i watched every showtime All-access episode following floyd mayweather and robert guerrero. before the fight, i was pretty excited to watch. (fyi, mayweather closed as a -600ish favorite, according to 5d). it wasn't thaaat interesting, but mayweather is a beast. i like him

2-3 years ago, i really didn't like him. he was cocky/arrogant/annoying,  you name it.
i couldn't understand how anyone can root for someone like him. how can you like someone who burns $100 dollar bills in clubs just because he can. somewhat disgusting

but then i realized, yes, he is a bit crazy and over the top? but how is he supposed to act? he is the highest paid athlete in the world. he has never lost a fight. undefeated. and it's boxing.  there's no one in the world that can beat him up. how are you supposed to act when you KNOW that you can beat up every person in any room that you enter. he's extremely smart. and i know i'm not saying anything groundbreaking, but he's a salesman. he's interesting. people love him, and people hate him, and those people are going to pay to watch him. he's an entertainer. i don't give a crap about the sport of boxing. but if mayweather if involved, i'm definitely interested.

here are some sports fight odds:
zach randolph    -200  
blake griffin       +150

zach is a beast, blake is too pretty. i feel like if you put them in a room and told them to fight. zach would say "OK" and blake would say something like "why?" or "nah man". that's everything

nate robinson     -200
me jon jt scott    +150

we were all watching game 4? together where nate goes crazy in the 4th quarter. and i asked if us 4 could take nate. the general consensus was no. but i'm not quite sure. yea he's a beast, but we have 4 brains. i'm thinking all jt does is bear hug him, and the other 3 just attack yolo style

tiger woods   +120
kobe             -180

oh god, the main event. both ultra competitive. kobe 3 years younger. i'm giving the edge to mamba, and i don't know why

remember guy

listening to this song brought back so many memories. I remember this was one of my favorite songs when I first left for college. And later that year, they played at ucsb. Cool grant
