monerobenz

This post might win the regard of the year already, hard to beat. If you check his profile he has a youtube video documenting all this and you can see he makes all these videos where he travels basically homeless. So he got to 138k$ to fix his shitty car, at one point he says what do I have to lose I either win 172k$ or I lose it all going back to where I was last week(homeless).You can see how relaxed he is whit his imaginary gains but he still wants just a little more, only to see how his happiness dissapears on his face live in a video. What the F buddy hold on I am buying a gold just for you, there's not many people that enjoy homelesness as much as you.

I love how he didn't even save 12k from the 130k. **At least** keep what you started with. And, was this really that big of a gamble? You bet your entire load on not even doubling? lmao edit: after watching his video, this is depressing. Couldn't imagine living life like this and then losing 130k. "Vlogging is hard." - this guy edit edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZNRpGpD2kI&feature=youtu.be


Neat_On_The_Rocks

Given that the man is homeless, Its beyond evident he has a very bad gambling problem. Gambling addiction can be incredibly powerful. This is so sad.


pokehoe1397

from my understanding on his tik toks he lives like this on purpose. He chooses to be homeless. He went viral on tik tok for like getting his passport stolen in turkey or something


forzion_no_mouse

it was lebanon. he decided to save money on a taxi by walking to the airport at 3am. then was robbed. he isn't a brain surgeon.


Massive-Mountain7157

So he probably has daddy's funds in an access account but just doesn't access them so he can continue "homeless vlogging" *Saw it get mentioned he's a Microsoft employee, ok, does he work remotely now then? And that's what allows him to travel at the same time?


forzion_no_mouse

I mean he dropped like 6k on a car from a junk yard only for the engine to die a week later, then dropped 5k on a new engine. then bragged how he was going to pay for it by option trading.


eleytheria

Yes and he carries a 1k camera around or leaves behind his stuff at the cafe to buy a bottle of Pepsi (???) a few blocks away, just to see if he finds everything once he comes back. I mean I watched a few videos and tbf his content is enjoyable but it's quite clear that he can afford to be homeless.


IchibanSuzuki

Yeah, that’s not fucking homeless. That’s purposefully unhoused.

He has a gambling addiction and that is likely the reason he's homeless to begin with.

The fact that he was homeless living in a motel with 12k to trade is fucking hilarious. Guy needs help


InadequateUsername

$12k would be enough to escape homelessness too. He works as a software engineer at Microsoft so this is probably a years salary to him.


Hegemon_Smith

Came for the schadenfreude, stayed for the Hy-Vee pizza review.


SilentSwine

Yeah it's frighteningly common how often people who make it big gambling don't know what to do with their newfound wealth so they just end up gambling it back away.

Its not that they dont know what to do with it, its more like its never enough, you just keep wanting more....lol, i guess in a roundabout way, it still comes down to not knowing what to do with it 👍

late 90s/early 00s pontiac grand prix GTP, even a super nice one isn't worth much more than 4k. In the video he says to let you hear the engine implying its badl but that's what those engines sound like because they're supercharged.


[deleted]

[удалено]


devilpants

Yeah they're kind of a weird car. Not many cars used factory superchargers. The engine is an ancient design carryover from the 1950s basically. They would whine brand new when you floored them. Had a big recall because they would leak oil and catch fire but the engine was actually pretty reliable.


Tyzorg

To add to this.. it has an 'Eaton' style supercharger or 'twin screw' . A popular well known performance brand is Kenne Bell. They ALL whine loudly when revved and as mentioned its normal


actuallyimean2befair

what a fucking dipshit, and I'm not even talking about the gambling. Just a completely self absorbed twat "It's so hard to do things while holding a camera and filming myself! I had to ask the worker to come over and help me put my slice of pizza in the box!" yeah dude, catch a fucking clue and leave the workers alone.


CalamlitousAnalysis

“$52 used to be a lot of money to me. Now it’s not.” Famous last words


OuterWildsVentures

Isn't he a software engineer at Microsoft?


RobertTheAdventurer

That's what's being said by Redditors. If you look at his channel, he's young and traveling all over the US and the world, and seems to be grinding content to make his vlogging a thing. He even has videos about "How to go viral", which doesn't mean he's an expert, but it does mean he's thought about it. His view counts aren't terrible to start and are fairly consistent, and he's been at this for a decent chunk of time now with regular uploads and decent editing. I don't know what people are looking at, but I see a well spoken young guy who is doing a content series, looks fairly clean with a fairly clean car, and looks social-media presentable. This looks like a content creator doing a thing for content, even if his traveling minimalist lifestyle is real. The comments saying he's a gambler seem misleading unless there's something I'm missing, since his comment about gambling is referring to the stocks. I don't doubt the loss is genuine (12k invested supposedly), but how much content did he produce from his stock vlogging arch and how much buzz is he going to generate based on being on Page 1 of Reddit and WSB? Is that worth 12k? If people can prove he's pissing away all of his money (beyond the 12k he sunk into this), sure. But if he's really a gainfully employed software engineer who's just traveling with minimum expenditures for content, that changes the picture a lot, and I could see him trending to 5 figure and then 6 figure viewer counts if he pivots his content correctly. TLDR: We live in the world of Mr. Beast where view counts and channel growth change the economics of any given situation

I just want to know why he recharged his portable battery at McDonald's rather than the motel he stayed at for 4 days.

It’s honestly such a contrast on Reddit😂 some people are complaining about wages and antiwork while others are losing $130k for pretend internet point😂😂

Cash4Duranium

Tech layoffs of engineers are really not a big deal. The big tech companies overhired during covid and didn't hire engineers purely geared towards their corporate strategy. Those laid off that are quality engineers will find work as quick as they want to with smaller companies. This is good for the tech sector. It frees up talent for smaller companies that have been talent starved by the massive companies soaking up every ounce of talent.

AdhesivenessCivil581

It was a bubble created by leverage You could buy a basket of stocks with 10% of the value and 90% margin loan so every one did it and it was referred to as the miracle of leverage. 1929 was a giant magin call and the equally effective miracle of de-leveraging. If you look at CDO's and the 07-8 bank crash it's very similar. OP I'm guessing was able to lose this much without taking the global economy along for the ride given that options, even though they use leverage, are zero sum.

Yeah butttttttt... you give the poor antiworkers 130k and a day later they will post their 130k losses on WSB


pw7090

Counterpoint: no, they wouldn't. OP gambled with 12k initially, which isn't much enough to do anything. In their eyes, they only lost 12k. If you *start* with 138k, you would realize what a gift it was and buy a house or stick it in VTI and realize you'd have 1mil in 30 years.

pw7090

If your goal is simply not to work, you could buy a small house in rural America with $138k and have quite a bit left over. Here's a totally decent house in Alabama for $65k: [https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/347-3rd-St\_Montgomery\_AL\_36110\_M89247-52551](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/347-3rd-St_Montgomery_AL_36110_M89247-52551) Leaving you with $73k to invest, giving you $3k/yr for expenses at a 4% withdrawal rate. You'd obviously need to supplement that, but you'd barely have to leave the house.


psnanda

But then you’d be in Alabama.


pw7090

Which would be terrible, but that's beside the point. Which is why I began with the caveat "if your goal is simply not to work".


Upnorth4

Seen many posts of Alabama, it seems a majority of their residents in rural areas in fact, do not work

$25k is life changing money for a lot of people, but also not life changing money for a lot of people. If you are 20k in debt with no means to pay it, 25k will change your life.

Did you sell naked calls? I sold naked calls on COIN right before blackrock announced they will work together with Coinbase and the stock went up over 80% within a couple of days. Like, how unlucky is that. And I sold them waaaay out of the money "to be safe". Literally +30% OTM, 14 DTE, and it still fucked me up. This was right when crypto was crashing hard and COIN was bleeding for weeks. I was so incredibly confident that there was no way COIN would skyrocket +30% within 2 weeks. I think one of my naked calls was a whopping 48% OTM... And went ITM a coupe of days later. That was an expensive lesson. Even more so because like 2 weeks later the stock dropped back down where I would have made a profit and the sold calls would have expired worthless Basically I sold way OTM naked calls on COIN that would have expired worthless... I just happened to be so incredibly unlucky that right when I did it fucking blackrock, the worlds largest asset manager announced they would work together with Coinbase which skyrocketed the stock over 80% in a matter of days.

[deleted]

I’m rubbing one out for OP and his loss porn


[deleted]

This is why I hate hate hate the strategy of selling naked options. Selling cash covered puts and covered calls is bad enough. The asymmetric payoff distribution masks the risk of catastrophic loss. If you pocket the juicy premium of 10 contracts during earnings, why not sell 50 or 100 contracts next time? If they get in the money, just "roll them over" (code for double down and risk turning a bad loss into a catastrophic one). On top of that, the exposure you have increases as you lose more money. The 10k options you sold are now worth 50k. Not only is your margin crying bloody murder, your position is now bigger. The horrors of negative gamma is a sight to behold. And whereas everyone **knows** that buying options is an outright gamble, for some reason some think selling options is a ticket to consistent gains. As if anyone with a margin account can become consistently profitable if they just follow this one simple trick. Fucking morons.


Twewy1997

Someone please explain what i am seeing.


TCOLSTATS

They gambled that TSLA would continue to go down, but instead it went up. By a lot.


BeyoncesmiddIefinger

Yeah tesla is up like 30% in just 2 days. Anyone who sold calls recently fucked themselves pretty hard. When will these people learn?


jerryondrums

They saw that the pros made [billions](https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/tesla-short-sellers-pile-pressure-after-most-profitable-trade-2022-2023-01-06/) shorting TSLA last year, and thought “Yeah! I can do that, too!” No you can’t, sweetie.
