Say you invested 10k in 10x leveraged treasury futures last year. If you shorted you lost 10k. If you bought you made millions of dollars.
Leverage is all that matters and there is no point in jobs because literally all you have to do is gamble on highly leveraged positions and youll win eventually.

"If you bought you could have made millions of dollars"
So predict the next move in FICC assets and become a millionaire.
The same direction its already going?
There has to be some catch to this, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
These days financial markets are so competitive that people fight to get their stock order ahead down to the millisecond
How are you gonna get 10k for gambling without a job?
.
Why would a billionaire like you be wasting time posting here.
Because i have no self control and spend it all on thots
Negative equity, your broker would require you to put up collateral and you can lose more than you bet when dealing with high leveraged instruments
Lol no they wouldnt the maximum drawdown would be like 5% and you would never be less than 50% margined
Not that this is even remotely a topic worth debating, but regarding leverage:
"The market can always stay misaligned longer than you can remain solvent"
Our good boy Keynes.
"Markets can remain irrational longer then you can remain solvent"
Right thank you, was struggling to remember the exact quote
How the fuck did this make the front page lol
Because its true
If it's true why aren't you a billionaire? By that logic you should've just invested 25k at a 10x leverage into NFLX in 2007 and you'd be up like 5000% in 10 years...
this is oddly reminiscent of wsb
Quia et aut nesciunt repudiandae est. Quia in nihil nulla impedit sed delectus id. Vel quos dolores eos.
