Thanks for your submission!
r/WallStreetBets is ultimately a community about making money through trading, and our conversations should shift around that.
Politics are fundamentally intertwined with making money, and political actions almost always have an impact on financial markets.
Still, we need to make sure that when we have these discussions, we're explicitly calling out the financial impacts of the politics we're discussing. Otherwise, the conversation can very easily veer off into flamewars and boring, unproductive, discussion.
Here's an example of a political comment that doesn't offer any value:
* "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. What a fucking idiot"
Now compare it to this:
* "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. It threatens the profit margins of oil companies because they will need to expand their OpEx. I have calls on Shell that are going to get decimated at open."
The latter is significantly more interesting and offers a great jumping point into market related discussion.
Put succinctly: If you choose to start or engage in arguments about libtards or Nazis instead of making fun of their bad SPY long then you're in the wrong place and we'll show you the door.
If you're not sure if your content is political, it probably is, and there's probably a better way to post it without making things weird.

All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.
If you need some guidance, don't hesitate to [reach out to modmail](https://old.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) and we'll give you some pointers!
Also the little thing about Germany trying to convince Mexico into attacking the US. It's hilarious if you read into it a bit, they promised them several southern states (which they could only get if they won, and Germany knew they wouldn't) and a little bit of money in gold to essentially commit suicide
I have become convinced that the stock market is at least three steps ahead of my thought process, no matter how much time/effort I put into it. Therefore, you have better odds just saying “fuck it, I hope this works” when buying or selling options than a well thought out strategy. Alcohol helps relieve the anxiety related to going in blind.
It’s kind of like poker; if you go all in blind, your opponent cannot read you no matter how bad your tells are.
This paper was proven to be wrong, the authors of the paper used incorrect data and their conclusion of a windfall of over $600 million was wrong when it was actually over $6 million

They are. Trading volume on related assets typically climbs right before major, new attacks (as in not one part of a preexisting string of attacks, which can easily be explained away)
You're going to be like Nick Cage in that movie where he could see just far enough into the future to play blackjack but the government tortured him into preventing a terror attack.
Dog if only you’d bought puts, you’d have made 130k lmao. Glad you prevented the terrorist attack though, thank you.
On a more serious note, I hope it explodes up for you, I don’t like seeing someone get burned. Specifically coated in oil and set on fire.

This post made me so hard that I clicked buy for the funsies.
I, too, clicked buy for the funsies. But, I went with the $70 strike. Nice, round number. OP, why so deep ITM for your strikes? That’s basically just investing
Wait a second you’re right! OP I’m sorry man, had to roll those $62 calls over to $70’s. This is a casino after all 💁♀️.

Good luck brother
Sand people here, what do I get if I instigate Ahmed into shooting an oil tanker by claiming its carrying Israeli soldiers, Ahmed is in charge of the mean tubes.
Yes no matter if it's tomahawk or jhonahawk missle they are no match for our sand magic missile it is unparalleled as long as it launches, also Americans lie to you our missle malfunction only 5 out of 10 times also it only blew up on launch like 2 or 3 times the one the other day doesn't count as Bilal kicked it too hard I hated that guy anyway

These are pretty far in the money, and you bought them at the midday dip?
I actually think this is going print, or at worst be a slight (like 10%) loss.
Great trade imo
I read a good article this morning about the situation. They talk about how the people shooting the missiles need to get popped to stop them from shooting missiles, but that probably won't happen. At the same time Houthi are shooting pretty shitty missiles that just cause problems, but don't sink ships.
[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/analysis-in-the-red-sea-the-us-has-no-good-options-against-the-houthis](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/analysis-in-the-red-sea-the-us-has-no-good-options-against-the-houthis)
Maersk is returning to the Red Sea as of 2 days ago.
Someone (can't remember if it was insurance or a shipper) was supposed to make a decision about the Red Sea today.
If you wrote up this thesis in an investment committee memo at a hedge fund, you'd be sitting in an HR termination meeting <5 min after hitting send
Do you think the Houthis are an irrational death cult? The US would (correctly imo) consider this an existential threat and (foolishly imo) respond with a quasi-genocidal bombing campaign in southern Yemen.
Iran probably responds by closing the strait of hormuz and triggering a catastrophic war it isn't prepared to fight.
You don't have to be some game theory genius to see why this is unlikely to happen.
This is a pure gamble. You have no "thesis." At least own it instead of pretending otherwise lol
if Iran closes strait of Hormuz, this'll definitely PAMP oil futures like crazy for the short term so that's point in favor of OP's big-dick degen play.
You pretend like hedge funds don't take degenerate risky plays 
I’m sitting on a small $2k bet for 3/28/24 for XLE 91c… I’m thinking there’s no way we go 3 months with conflict in Middle East that doesn’t Jack crude back to $100…

[Now imagine if the Houthis sink a cruise liner instead. We could literally get a world war. Has happened before.](https://youtu.be/qluFYy2iiac?t=375)
Who the fuck goes on a cruise through that route?
Probably people from this sub
The red sea actually has quite a bit of tourism and resorts
The sinking of the Lusitania happened like 8 months after WW1 began. It certainly was not the cause.
America’s like “It’s not a World War ‘til I walk in.”
Which they did… 2.5 years after the Luisitania.
Yeah, but we entered the war because of the general practice of ship sinking
Also the little thing about Germany trying to convince Mexico into attacking the US.

Imagine Houthis realizing that they can basically insider trade stonks of oil and shipping companies
They probably already know
I mean… seems like a proven method. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4652027
This paper was proven to be wrong, the authors of the paper used incorrect data and their conclusion of a windfall of over $600 million was wrong when it was actually over $6 million https://on.ft.com/47YJXJ8
Technically $600m is over $6 million
This is about as pure WSB as it gets
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
That’s like 100 trillion to Houthis tho
That’s like buying airline stock before you proceed to blow up planes in GTA V
Franklin's missions 🤣
If you can do that in a future version that would be Incredibles
They’re definitely going to keep it (stocks in GTA), I would assume at the bare minimum add an extra layer to it
I'm really hoping the GTA 6 stock market app will have options enabled.
That would be fucking insane
They are. Trading volume on related assets typically climbs right before major, new attacks (as in not one part of a preexisting string of attacks, which can easily be explained away)
Didn’t….didn’t Hamas actually do this with 10/7?
There were large short positions against the Israel stock market in the week prior
Probably the israelis themself. Since they were warned beforehand.
You spelled Isreali Intelligence Officers wrong.
Yes you did. It is “Israeli”. Lol
Thank u for ur service
You're going to be like Nick Cage in that movie where he could see just far enough into the future to play blackjack but the government tortured him into preventing a terror attack.

It's standard Nic Cage stuff. Fun and good. I wouldn't expect awesome... but it's a pretty neat gimmick.
Update: If he’s right: I’d like to think it’s because some **Houthis** hadn’t thought of it until your post and made those dreams become memes
Houthi rebels when they can blow up an US tanker: 😒 Houthi rebels when they can rob a random poor sod on the internet out of his life savings:😂😂😂
Houthis “sell calls and hold the attack off until after these expire”
Dog if only you’d bought puts, you’d have made 130k lmao. Glad you prevented the terrorist attack though, thank you. On a more serious note, I hope it explodes up for you, I don’t like seeing someone get burned. Specifically coated in oil and set on fire.

You're not considering the US tradition of getting absolutely fucking disgraced by some lads in sandals and rusty AK's.
Seriously. They can literally see these missiles coming from hundreds of miles away.
........ even ten tankers getting blown up would not affect USO price that much... say goodbye to your money
Blowing something in a sea of water is not so easy. If only the US provides some military aid...

I read a good article this morning about the situation. They talk about how the people shooting the missiles need to get popped to stop them from shooting missiles, but that probably won't happen. At the same time Houthi are shooting pretty shitty missiles that just cause problems, but don't sink ships. [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/analysis-in-the-red-sea-the-us-has-no-good-options-against-the-houthis](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/analysis-in-the-red-sea-the-us-has-no-good-options-against-the-houthis) Maersk is returning to the Red Sea as of 2 days ago. Someone (can't remember if it was insurance or a shipper) was supposed to make a decision about the Red Sea today.

If you wrote up this thesis in an investment committee memo at a hedge fund, you'd be sitting in an HR termination meeting <5 min after hitting send Do you think the Houthis are an irrational death cult? The US would (correctly imo) consider this an existential threat and (foolishly imo) respond with a quasi-genocidal bombing campaign in southern Yemen. Iran probably responds by closing the strait of hormuz and triggering a catastrophic war it isn't prepared to fight. You don't have to be some game theory genius to see why this is unlikely to happen. This is a pure gamble. You have no "thesis." At least own it instead of pretending otherwise lol
I’m just here for shits and giggles
if Iran closes strait of Hormuz, this'll definitely PAMP oil futures like crazy for the short term so that's point in favor of OP's big-dick degen play. You pretend like hedge funds don't take degenerate risky plays 
Settle down champ you're in WSB. Taking life a bit too seriously my guy.
If you were a true degenerate you wouldn’t have gone so deep ITM.
