But Democratic leadership has, once again, folded to Republicans without attempting to fight for us.
Senate Democrats just killed the push today for $2000 checks.
A few Senators--namely Sanders and Markey--wanted to hold up the NDAA as leverage to push for a vote on $2000.
Democratic leadership rejected this--including Vice President elect Harris.
But Democratic leadership has, once again, folded to Republicans without attempting to fight for us.
a.) Find another leverage against McConnell and Senate Republicans
b.) Take McConnells offer on the combined bill of $2000 checks and Trump wishlist items
This is precisely why Sanders & Markey wanted to hold it up as leverage.
Dem leadership better have a Plan B if they are serious about helping people.
But I ask how she proposes to actually get Senate Republicans to agree to $2000 payments when McConnell refused a clean bill, and while shooting down potential leverage on this today
And they wouldn’t have to resort to holding up the NDAA as leverage to do so.
Which is why it’s incredibly important for Georgians to vote for Warnock and Ossoff in the upcoming runoff election.

It is a joyful and serious responsibility \U0001f332
1/ The discount you offer to strategic investors is both to account for the risk of an unlaunched product, but also as compensation for continued value add and support.
So make sure you know the investor will support you and not leave you on read once the docs are signed!
2/ Having someone on your cap table/ token allocation is as important as hiring.
You wouldn't hire someone just because they are influencers on Twitter- you do your reference checks and find evidence of value add from other companies the investor has invested in.
3/ Don't trust, verify.
Many investors will promise you the world when they're trying to get on your cap table.
Talk to founders they backed to see how much of it is bullshit. Ask them about how the investor was there for them during hard times.
4/ Don't just go for "name brand" funds because you want the brand.
Sure, it's great validation, but optimize for fit, not vanity.
However, I do think many well-known VCs are good actors, especially those with roots in successful trad VCs. They have a rep for a reason!

In a high IV environment or when the market is very volatile
— Subhadip Nandy (@SubhadipNandy16) January 21, 2022
" OTM options will behave like ATM options", one will get almost the same delta movement
Say we have two options, one 50 delta ATM options and another 30 delta OTM option. Normally for a 100 point move, the ATM option will move 50 points and the OTM option will move 30 points. But in a high volatile environment, the OTM option will also move nearly 50 points
To understand why this happens, first understand why an ATM option is 50 delta. An ATM option has the probability of 50% of expiring as ITM. The price just has to close a rupee above the strike for the CE to be ITM and vice versa for PEs
Now think of a highly volatile day like today. If someone is asked where the BNF will close for the day or expiry, no one can answer. BNF can close freakin anywhere, That makes every option of an equal probability of being ITM. So all options have a 50% probability of being ITM
Hence, when a huge volatile move starts, all OTM options behave like ATM options. This phenomenon was first observed in the Black Monday crash of 1987 at Wall Street, which also gave rise to the volatility skew/smirk
