Stock Option Delta and Gamma Theoretical relationships

From

Delta is not a linear function, meaning it will not change proportionately with the stock price. Gamma quantifies how Delta will change per the change in the stock price. The chart below shows the non-linear “S-like” shape of Delta and the Gamma curve that warps it.

A Gamma squeeze relies on the hedging actions of options dealers.

The banks and brokers who are the largest sellers of options must hedge their trades. Most dynamically hedge, meaning they frequently adjust the hedge amount according to the Delta of the option. If the Delta is .35, then they buy 35 shares for every option contract they are short. If the Delta then rises to .40, they buy five more shares. Conversely, they sell when the Delta falls.

ProtonMail E2EE End to End Encrypted Email Interfacing with Other Tools

Research Links

In order to use outside tools with other people using ProtonMail it appears  you need the ProtonMail bridge.

What is the ProtonMail IMAP/SMTP Bridge?
In a single sentence, ProtonMail Bridge is an application that allows you to use your ProtonMail encrypted email account with your favorite desktop email client such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Outlook, while simultaneously retaining the zero-access encryption and end-to-end encryption that ProtonMail provides. The best part is that this does not require modifying your email client or making changes to your existing workflow. Use email like you have always used it, and the Bridge will automatically encrypt and decrypt messages in the background

Some Ways to Starve the Goolag

If you want to try a few ways to fight back and "starve the beast" or at least annoy it greatly here ya go:


1) Go to adnauseam.io and load their extension. It clicks ads so you don't have to and discards the results like a ad blocker. Fill their databases with garbage. Be the "GI" in "GIGO".

2) Try out a WiFi phone. Textplus and others will get you a real phone number and it works everywhere there is WiFi. To keep the number and kill ads costs about $12 a year. How's that for a low cost phone plan?

3) Best for last. Get your money out of banks and into credit unions.
