If I followed this advice while actively drinking, I would’ve developed hyponatremia almost every day.

3 years later, the best way I’ve found to prevent a hangover is not drinking ;)

Actually, amphetamines and cocaine do not cause physical dependence, while opioids and GABA agonists (alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepenes) do cause physical dependence.

‘Depressant’ addiction occurs because they’re physically and psychologically addictive.

You may want to do 5 minutes of quick research before writing posts about subjects you are unfamiliar with in such an authoritative tone.

Conversely, as a former heroin addict and alcoholic who also used cocaine and amphetamines without developing addictions to either, I wonder how people develop addictions to substances with no physically addictive qualities.

Market makers profit off the bid/ask, not exchanges.
In my experience, if you stick to highly liquid stocks/options (SPY for example) the bid/ask is a penny and you don’t experience much slippage, less liquid stocks you can end up getting a worse price (0.01-0.02, in my experience)

The amount of capital I actively trade with makes Robinhood a good fit for me, the amount of contracts/shares I trade in an average position would need to gain 1-2% more to get the same profit if I was paying fees (particularly on options)

I’ll sell you as many $1 strike 1/2020 HMNY LEAPs as you can afford, you in?

HMNY will be diluted into the ground before then. Care to take me up on this bet?
