Is it really necessary to announce that you've taken a specific position. Should we all layout all of our related positions on every post about a company?

This doesn't belong here.

I think it's good to disclose financial interests if you're making a point about a company, like disclosing if you are an employee.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. No, not necessary; contingent. No, we shouldn't all lay out positions.

Given how much hacker news has been gamed lately, this does belong here.

So then say your short. Why do I need know at what strike price you bought at? This isn't wall street bets.

Hope you sell those soon before you lose it all.

2:10pm 7/10/2020?

I think he means he's buying put options at 210 expiring on 7/10

Don't know if you're joking, but it's Facebook put option with strike price of $210 expiring on 7/10, in other words, betting that the stock price of FB will be less than $210 by July 10 - current price is $235, so that would be down ~10%.
