American-style option

Read a random definition: bannum

A quick definition of American-style option:

An American-style option is a type of financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price before a specified expiration date. The holder can exercise this option at any time before the expiration date, unlike a European-style option which can only be exercised on the expiration date.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a law that makes it illegal to discriminate against people with disabilities in employment, public services, and public accommodations. A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity, such as seeing, hearing, walking, or working. The law applies to both private and government entities, but not to private employers with fewer than 15 employees.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An American-style option is a type of financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price, at any time before the option's expiration date. This type of option can be exercised at any time during its lifetime, unlike a European-style option which can only be exercised on its expiration date.

Example: Let's say you buy an American-style call option on a stock with a strike price of $50 and an expiration date of December 31st. This means you have the right to buy the stock at $50 per share at any time before December 31st. If the stock price rises to $60 per share before the expiration date, you can exercise your option and buy the stock at the lower price of $50 per share, then sell it for a profit of $10 per share.

This example illustrates how an American-style option gives the holder more flexibility and control over when to exercise their option, compared to a European-style option which can only be exercised on its expiration date.

Definition: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, public services, and public accommodations. A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as seeing, hearing, walking, or working.

Example: An example of the ADA in action would be a company providing reasonable accommodations for an employee with a disability, such as providing a sign language interpreter or modifying their work schedule. This ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities and access to employment.

This example illustrates how the ADA protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination and ensures they have equal access to opportunities and services.

not COPD. my bad ^
dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy
18:57
@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh
Dkk
18:59
It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight
texaslawhopefully
18:59
Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians
texaslawhopefully
19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution
Dkk

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?
Dkk
19:03
This is just interesting for me to think about.
Dkk
19:06
Wasp do you remember Clinton as president because I do not.
i hadnt developed sentience by 6 years old
19:07
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: lmfao
@texaslawhopefully: actually that was a huge counter biden movement (and harris) re they were held hostage by party politics and any words otherwise were lies that would be walked back, like border action
The radical left views open borders as a human right
they deem us animals who migrate lmfao
Dkk
19:08
Okay, man so huh. I barely remember bush as a kid. I remember my parents complaining about him and telling me why they did not vote for him. I technically had bill clinton too but I would have been 3.
hence migrants
meanwhile you view brown people as aliens
Dkk
19:09
Man I am trying to remember what I was doing at 11. I think my family had just moved houses and I was going to a new school.
@windyMagician: yeah lol cant say shit about politics without someone jerking off about race realism
Dkk
19:11
@windyMagician: I think it's a pretty mainstream view from the right to view some of them as aliens and some as not.

@Dkk: Yes, I was 11 and no I was not aware about politics at all
