...that I can get imputed odds of nearly 40:1 against this happening by buying puts (at the lowest strike prices) with expirations dates mostly of 1/19/24, 6/21/24, and 1/17/25. Which I have.
(note: the benefit of puts, unlike short selling, is that your downside is capped at the loss of your initial investment)
My hope/expectation is that sometime in the next 13, 19, or 25 months, the evidence of willful, murderous fraud will cause the liability protections that Pfizer and Moderna enjoy to be utterly null and void, and that the potential/certain liabilities from the pending lawsuits will dwarf any assets of these companies (remember: while Pfizer has many products which they sell and distribute, Moderna is essentially just a company created solely to pump these deadly MRNA jabs into people).
And I can only promise that I'm not sharing this out of some cynical front-running scheme, as I won't be selling these before expiry. I only share because I want to dance on the graves of any demons who hold long positions in these death-dealing companies, and I want them to foot the bill for the party, and I want others to dance along side with.
If you don't know what a "put" is, ignore this message.
If you don't presently have money you can willingly part with, ignore this message.
If you think my fundamental logic is unsound, consider responding to warn off others.
Although I think your logic is correct according to what should happen, it is quite risky and therefore not the best thing to assure long term growth of your portfolio.
If you can’t handle limited risk, Blackrock and Vanguard are ready to handle your index fund needs. (as the market drops out from under you 🤷♂️)
Quite seriously, the whole point of this post was to point out a straightforward way to benefit from a view that these companies will be ended by their jaw-dropping murderous malfeasance; of course there’s a risk, but it’s specifically limited. It’s essentially a binary outcome with what I believe to be very favorable odds - if you can’t afford to lose the premiums at any size, or don’t agree with my presumptions, or, as it appears in this case, just plainly don’t comprehend assuming risk vs. reward, yeah, it’s totally not for you. 😆
I hope you succeed. Let's assume you do and make say, 100K. Then what? Can you repeat that strategy 10 more times and become a millionaire? Most likely not. The same money can currently be parked in short term (2, 3, 6 mo, etc.) T bills at more than 4% interest, risk free. We are in a bear market again and all stocks likely to go lower due to recession in 2023, then the T bill money will be available to pick up stocks in the best and most profitable companies at bargain basement prices. I like 0 risk. There are no mulligans in investing.
