[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Placed two short positions that started at 250k each and ballooned to -600k and -800k each. One was closed against the box, the other I made him move against individual assets and sign a legal agreement of responsibility (short is still open).

Currently at -$687,852.86. Yes there is a point and that's where I was at a year ago. I presented him with the option to move it against his individual assets (family inheritance) and sign a postnup that he accepts responsibility for its performance or we would have to divorce. The risk was too much and we had lost a ton on margin calls.

To OP, time to put some legal protections in place. If he won't, then you need to make a decision. You know the liability, so it's on you if you continue.

And "smart" men absolutely make stupid decisions. He is a Harvard Econ major. It's hubris.[/quote]
