Reply to FRC Hedge by FantomJr

>The main issue with this idea is that it's very risky. If FRC does indeed recover, the puts will likely expire worthless and you'll be left with a large loss. Additionally, if FRC doesn't give any indication of recovery over the next 6-9 months, then there's a good chance the stock could continue to decline, in which case your put options would start to increase in value but you'd still be losing money on your shares. So overall I think this idea is too risky and not worth pursuing.

Youโ€™re talking about two major impacts 1. productivity increase through tech vs 2. productivity decrease due to work-force restructuring and framing it like it clear as day which one will be bigger. I doubt that it is clear. We do not know and we do not have a precedent case in a similar fashion. Previously revolutions required the production of physical goods that take much longer to supply and adapt to and thus, the job market has a longer period for adaptation. Digital revolutions happen rapidly. No need for extending the production capacity over half a decade and then another 2-5 years to supply everyone who relies on your manufactured stuff. It can happens as soon as a fee workers learn to make use of the new software.
