New impossible to lose money making strategy: buy options of your choice. If you lose money on options, buy twice as much next time. If you lose again, again double down. Think about it. Eventually you have to win.

And if you're into several iterations downstream you only need to win once, right?

These types of statements are how Q anonn got started.....

I have already bought my first tranche of options with my life savings. This had better work

Losing $10 can easily be made up by begging on the streets.

Depends on how good you are at giving **’s.
I am terrible at giving **'s. It took forever to earn this money .25 at a time....

There's no such thing as a bad **.

Steve Levitt did research with prostitutes and in exchange for their interviews, he gave them some strategic advice based on his results. I believe the advice was almost always that they should charge more as their prices were well below the profit maximizing price.

I think that probably applies here. When a ** is priced at .25, people gonna be suspicious. Something ain't right and even if it all checks out, wouldn't most of your customers probably rather splurge on a $5 ** instead?

I also recall that there is almost unlimited price elasticity for those able to pay and they high end hookers was more about the "experience" then the sex.

The question on the low end is: does the pimp or whatever set the market price and how does that all work.
