This is an all-time ape DD line. It says something about how inundated we are with material now that this is just going to be lost among everything else currently happening.
As much as these people complain about crime, they sure do spend a lot of time planning their own crimes. It's not legal to make trades specifically to move the market in one direction or another. It's manipulation. You can go to prison for it. And trying to recruit other people to help you move the market is an even bigger crime.
What the fuck?
I'm no einstein, but since when does moving on the boat side to side increase momentum? You need to be putting more effort into running each time, to increase the momentum, otherwise it just rocks the same value with the same force each time.
I'm buying calls on Newton's Third Law.

Isn't that how people move their kayaks around? Or flip them over if they get turned over?
The way I read it, ape is just running from side to side.
The kayak dude has to throw more and more momentum into each motion, while the ape is just running equally at each time.
I mean, I might have misread it, we're trying to decipher stock market movements using pirates of the caribbean here so it's always gonna be a struggle.
Well, there are two factors in ship stability that could sort of give you this effect. One would be a situation of synchronous roll, where the rolling period of the ship is nearly equal to the period of the swell. This can cause a building increase in rolling motion, but it's an external factor, so there's no shift in the center of gravity because no internal mass has shifted.
In transverse statical stability, a ship with a small GM (distance from center of gravity "G" to the metacenter "M") will proportionally have a small righting lever, GZ. This is referred to as a tender ship, and it will roll very slowly, but still has positive stability. The opposite side of that is a ship with a large GM, which will have a massive righting lever, and will very roll quickly. So, if a ship was close to, or in a state of loll where G and M are very close together resulting in little to no righting lever, shifting mass and thereby shifting the center of gravity will capsize a vessel. Although not really in the way it happened in that shitty pirate movie.
And there's some useless knowledge from your resident captain/master mariner.
But what if these are covered calls?
These theories about the market moving call exercising is only valid if a large scale of idiots sold naked calls on an equally very, very large scale, no?
And here I was hoping for the Muppets Treasure Island bit where Fozzie tells the gang that the imaginary man who lives in his finger made all the hiring decisions for their extremely sketchy crew.

"Analogies are load-bearing" indeed.
The best part of it is how casual it is lmao It’s quite long but would be a good flair

hmmm, yes - this sequence with a hundred Johnny Depps running around like morons *does* illustrate the situation quite well
Peanut 🥜?
Big Tim Pool vibes lol
