>How do you anons deal with options trading?
mostly, we don't
the people who do high-activity options trading tend to pass through the threads with an average (median) lifespan of 3 weeks. there will usually be a 2-4 day "king of the world" timeframe where they think they cracked the free money code and get really enthusiastic

if it was an easy consistent way to make money in any market conditions, why would people sell the calls at those (hypothetical) prices?
they probably wouldn't !
the possible price movement probabilities are accounted for in the price of the options (premium).

before the boomers die off we have about 20-30 years of paying for all their medical care to look forward to ; )
by the time the boomers actually die this country will be 100+Trillion in debt and they'll be tossed into mass graves or burned. No one's going to be able to afford coffins after what happens next

alright I like the picture of van-camping Adam Sandler

none of the points that you're trying to make in your post have any bearing on the current trade deals.
No, we have not threatened a large increase in tariffs because the Chinese are reneging on earlier agreements, only to back off a week later.
No, it doesn't make sense to consider every member of the US and Chinese governments as independent parties to the trade talks. I have no idea why you think that would make sense.
The negotiations are between two main actors: the trump administration and the Chinese central committee.

Trump is signaling tariffs and it does mean that one group is applying leverage. You don't have to guess where and how, it has been stated explicitly.

I don't have any hat though
I should custom order a 'KHC 50' hat or something to commemorate my heaviest bag. In fact it would have been better if I had bought at 80 a couple years ago. Maybe a 'LYFT 87' hat for fun.
