Are they that well made?
There are going to be a lot of subscription classes out there that can be had for less than Peloton. I could put one of Cmoney’s cam girls on a bike at 6:00am and make a killing.
Get a gym grade bike for a few hundred and find your iPad and you’re good.
Talk to me
the richest people i know own pelatons.
It took only one month to go from 24 trillion to 25. I knew we could do it.
Markets are pricing in negative interest rates going forward . Bond prices are 100+
It’s happening. We never normalized after 2008. Even with a super heated market. Snooze ya lose.
Now we have no wiggle room
Game is getting incredibly hard to fathom. Something is going to break and I can’t imagine what or how. We all should be cash but we are sick.
Munger and Buffet know cause they’ve lived stuff we haven’t
Ya i hear you that's a wealthy young hipster decoration, most of the wealthy people i know with gyms have a elliptical trainers older crowd tho.Quote:

honestly thats a really good point.
the new bowflex or something.
Love how this thread shifted to overweight 40 and 50 yr olds, who probably haven't stepped foot in a gym since Clinton was getting head in the White House, capitulating about the new fate and trends of the fitness industry.
Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

Unsure if this means anything but saw it this morning on yahoo finance. Cytodyn stock is tanking, I got out of it last week. I'm looking for something fun and risky to throw a small bit of money at. I did well with OVV (so far) and like the idea of some very depressed energy stocks. Open to suggestions and I won't be upset of I lose money.

Regarding home fitness equipment, wealthy people are always happy to pay a premium for home fitness equipment, even if the cheaper version of a treadmill and bike accomplish the exact same task. The Peloton app and subscription seems to be very popular and I think they put out good stuff. My wife has the app but I won't let her get the bike or treadmill (yet). Every evening the kids do a fun 10 minute workout from the Peloton App and parents spread that kind of information. No clue what the future of the business holds but high end fitness equipment will always have buyers.

Are you making more than $10/day on it?
So my 289 spy puts, which were looking good when the. market was 282 a couple days ago are dead now. I really appreciate how all the market moves up have taken place after hours so I couldn't react to them. I am guessing this isn't an accident (not against me personally, but against people in my spot).

you attempted a swing trade on an unstable security that's deeply and obviously unmoored from the abstraction to the abstraction it represents (read: broken).
tl;dr the game is the game.
Lol Step. This is what I saw at my gym everyday before the nazis closed it down. Weights and weight circuits are very popular. There are serious trainers and then some I call fat socialites. They come to the gym everyday to not exercise, but to socialize and lift a weight here and there. They are fatter than 2 years ago when I started due to zero cardio.Quote:

There are some that are serious runners on the treadmills who are buff, but they are the minority. It is hard to do an elliptical without sweating so those that think just being in a gym helps you lose weight don’t use them.
Group classes like Zumba and spin are popular and don’t see too many fat socialites attending. By nature these classes force you to sweat and the socialites don’t like to sweat.
It doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are or what type of expensive equipment you own, if it is not used regularly. It is all useless. Exercise can cost nothing or a lot for the exact same results.

I go to Equinox where people pay $230 plus monthly so thankfully I dont see this. Almost everyone is there to work and get a pump. In Blink, Planet Fitness etc I have found that many(mostly women) do about 10-12 minutes on a machine....right up to the point.where they start getting uncomfortable and breaking a sweat and then shut it down. Its hilarious. I could time exactly when they are gonna get off once they start. If they actually put in work everytime they went to the gym, the once or twice fast food trek wouldnt be so bad.
Love the gym talk.
I think you guys will enjoy this “oil going negative” story. Fun character driven read.

Oil Crash Busted Broker’s Computers and Inflicted Big Losses

Simpdog usually buys and sells stocks and currencies through his Interactive Brokers account, but he couldn’t resist trying his hand at some oil trading on April 20, the day prices plunged below zero for the first time ever.
What is ironic about this story is that the Interactive CEO was perhaps the very first high frequency trader in history. He hooked up a computer to his Bloomberg in the 1970’s. That’s a decent cat and mouse story too.

another one that broke the wrong way. opened at 2.4 and barrel rolled on a weak earnings report that night, never really recovered entirely despite climbing 8% today to 2.10.

close: 2.10
-125
total theoretical investment: $8000
losses: 418.32
wins: 280.06
return: -138.26
however... if we implement a 5% stop loss on each trade, we turn a slight profit:
+28.
which i believe is 0.35%...
seems wack but that was for 3 days. lets assume we do that once a week. for a year.
that yields a total of +$1452.47.
or +18%.
technical analysis for the fucking win.
another cute side note is that this assumes i pretty much go balls deep at open without waiting for trend confirmation, which would never happen.
also it assumes i close positions arbitrarily today instead of letting them run, which a few appear to be doing.
I wouldn't do pelaton but would consider the mirror. That shit is pretty fucking cool.
honestly how real this feels is a whole ass mood and a half.
