  1. That's a nice bike, dest. I do a decent amount of road/mtn biking. Hoping to upgrade my cross bike this summer.

    Good thing it worked, but there's almost no liquidity on NDX. Isn't this something that goes against what you're teaching us?

    Teaching us? Dest isn’t here to mentor. Take his nuggets with a grain of salt. If NDX is too illiquid for your taste just trade QQQ then. Like Dest says stay away from ITM strikes for microstructure.

    We're going out again this week as the 17yo is on Spring Break. The bike was amazing. I didn't need to bust out the second battery. That Gen4 Bosch motor is the tits. My oldest is taking it out for an three day trip tonight. I'm going to have to grab another one as nobody wants to ride the SC Heckler eMTB we have.

    NDX is plenty liquid. He said that he was filled $3 off mid on the cover on a spread with a req of nearly $200K. $300 off mid seems pretty tradeable to me.

    I've got to buy another Rail 9.9 bc my 17yo just got a 33 on his ACT. He thought he'd bombed it bc he ran out of time to answer some questions on one of the sections. He doesn't know so I am going to build the ProjectOne bike on their site and put the score in the comments and send him the email receipt.
