figuring it all out I appreciate your humor, insight, and your post whether or not I agree

yeah, i went through the process of opening a "margin loan" capacity however I misread the docs and the margin is only used for trading which i don't want.

Like what Jake is saying i guess Security loans is way too risky on such a levered product. Maybe when MSTR is the size of Apple then it might be OK for such loans.

The margin loan sort of opened a black hole in my account so when I realized it I just tiptoed away from the edge.

as Buffett says, "ladies, liquor & leverage". I got the leverage, now i just need the other two.

Yikes nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2, I think your Zap bot got stuck and just zapped me 8x 500sats to 4Grand satoshis! Checking out your BOGO sale...

Wishes do come true!

Thx....

i'm not sure what IQ scoring is good, but 42 would be because it's got the "guardians of the Galaxy" thing going on where it answers stuff from that book and 42 is the answer to the universe. I've never read that one, and don't plan to as Grok has filled me in on all I need to know.

I just ask Grok to give me the Jane Austen version of things when i get tired of the default Grokiness

I wasn't aware that cats can become "bonded pairs".

Oh papa, please make your way home to mama soon.

Applying for margin loans now...this rocketship is counting down like the 12 days of Christmas.

Who said bogleheads couldn't have fun.

What, I can't believe they don't have bakery samples out there for the bank. I'd take a quarktasche.

They could lean into brewery tradition like a Texas Barber shop and offer a beer while waiting.

Since we're not accountable, I'm going with Xmas lift off and waving bye at the moon at inauguration.

Since y'all are on this topic of risk curve, my question is if you have MSTR in a brokerage and want to take a margin loans at 10% to repair a car or something, what amount of margin is acceptable and still stay on the safe side of Caitlin Long's "a fool and his levered bitcoin are soon parted".

Brokerage Rule is 35% of account collateral.

I'm thinking I need to stay above 35% in the worse drawdown scenario which would be 80%.

So if I have (10,000 -80%*10,000)* (1-0.35) I can borrow 65% of $2000 or $1300.

Does this make me a fool since this MSTR is leveraged Bitcoin already. I suppose drawdown could be worse than 80%.

also, maybe we need to get back to Victorian diet/exercise regimes

it's probably both. i find myself licking my wounds and addressing this object that I have a bigger Bitcoin stack. and the ocean motion.

I did the work of zooming in on MSN Money to see what was happening on December 2020. I was surprised to see that the BTC price was taking a little glide down after November 26 until December 15.

From December 15 to April 11 it tripled! this was before i was in bitcoin, so if this history repeats it's going to be very interesting!
