na, AMZN is where the money is

Read this interesting article about "platform economies" where companies like Amazon and Alibaba centralize market activity on their online platforms, allowing them to very effeciently extract wealth from these market activities without actually producing anything of value. Operations like these are single handedly responsible for today's and the future's economic malaise for consumers as wealth gets concentrated in the hands of these large corporations that outsource all their labor to the latest cheapest shithole and hide their money on islands so the government can't efficiently tax them.

It meshed pretty well with my own personal theory of economics that I came up with on my own so I was pretty surprised when I realized just how similar my thought was to theirs.

I don't think I actually care about money. It's just a competition to me and money is just another way to keep score. I mean even when I'm beyond drunk, and plowing a broad getting all tired and sweaty because of the whiskey dick, in my heart I'm a fucking romantic and love that fucking hearts and flowers and fucking romantic surprise candle shit. The fucking handwritten notes have made women go as far as to buy lingerie and go as far as to end up in jail. I hate having an influence and being under the influence, but I dunno if it weren't for you faggots. I wouldn't have learned shit about trading. I had no real raw true experience like you anonymous shit bag stuffers. I just remembered one anonymous faggot was like i've seen trip fags come and go, but you know what I made it my dream to make him eat his own fucking words. I'm a spiteful asshole, and after just like that moment where I met that girl Kimberly. I don't know about her or me, but I want to just knock her up like six or seven times... She makes perfection for the beholder, and I just hope I don't fuck up.

Jerry Powell is going to provide us with what we know is already true, bonds are safer investments. Trade policy does not stand between the FED and the world. Balance sheet is shrinking, and rates need to get back to normal levels to make sure you faggots get left holding the bag... i mean the dollar is the worlds reserve currency because of spending and consumption. Tarrifs will not impact FED policy to raise interest rates 2 more times this year. We will continue to raise rates. Have more tariffs, and tax cut part two will be a big part of Trumps re-election campaign.

How could you not vote on tax cuts part two. Everybody has a job and we are getting money from overseas to support our own economy for once. It's like if there is a blue wave in the mid terms, wait till re-election comes along. Mother fuckers will kiss and wash the feet of Donald J. Trump.

I want to invest into steel, but I can't decide if I want NUE or X.
X fundamentals looks way sexier in my opinion.
What's your take?

>>11170201
why not both

>>11170201
I picked up some X on Friday, also while we're on the subject, what's a good aluminum company?

>>11170210
Don't like when a portfolio has too many holdings.
I want to buy only one of those, and keep the rest of my holdings diversified

>>11170310
What makes you think X has better fundamentals ?

>>11170331
X has better performances on parameters closely related to sales and earnings.
NUE outperforms X on parameters related to debt and spending.
In this particular sector, especially after Trump tariffs, I don't think that having a low current ratio (which is not even THAT low) or a high debt/equity ratio is going to cause any damage to the company, and it's not going to affect the business in any major way.

The parameters you see here are just the ones I usually use the most. If you think that there are some other parameters that you prefer using for your strategy, please tell me your choice and educate me about it.

It’s too fucking early for all this

>>11170404
I looked up briefly those 2 companies on Finviz and Morningstar.

And I tend to see Nucor as a better company.

But in my opinion, you should look futher in depth into their businessses:
- how about their production capacities ? are they maxed out ? where are they located ? etc
- their customer portfolio

Also, Nucorp has better operating margins and they can undercut X if they want more market share. I think this is why market is pricing NUE higher than X.

I want to invest in dividend stocks but I only have about $50 to $100 a week to invest. Should I save my money and buy one stock a month or should I buy a small portion of a different company every pay cheque?

What makes a good dividend stock? just the yield? Since the amount is so small I was looking at smaller stocks, also preferably canadian since my brokerage, cibc, charges fees for currency conversion and $7 per trade.

I was looking at Ford and West forrest products. I know the concensus on ford, but not sure about the other one, or other dividend stocks to invest in to grow my portfolio. I just started on wednesday and like a total fool, invested my inital $330 into "meme" stocks.

I wanna do things the steady investor way and not the speculation way though, so I can retire comfortably when Im 65(or earlier if I do well)

I used to get that reaction too, especially as my father failed miserably at every investment he ever attempted. The thing that turned it around from skeptical looks and jokes uttered to my face was the latest crypto bull run. I had a little bit riding on BTC and ETH from August 2017 through December 2017. When BTC was in the news for going parabolic and approaching 20k, calls from family came in asking if i could help them get in on this money fountain. I told them to stay well away as BTC had far overextended itself and would likely rapidly decline in price 4-8 weeks time. I gave very basic description of the concept of TA. They were mad at me for not "helping" but they did stay out of crypto. BTC popped sooner than i expected. Family soon saw how i was right, how they would have lost large chunk of life savings had they fomo'd in as planned.

No more skepticism although i do have to deflect requests to invest money for them on occasion. I direct them to pro brokers. I don't want the responsibility or liability.

Do hall ever take personal morals into account when investing into a company's stock, or is it always about money?
Say you're against animal testing or sweatshops, would that go into consideration when choosing which stocks to buy?

>>11172938
That's never come up but... maybe. I have no problem investing in vice but i might be reluctant about investing in a company known for horrific near-slavery factory conditions i guess. Child labor especially.

>>11172938
if it's not something trendy for people to be against it isn't important enough to worry about

>>11172938
Not really, just think of it this way:
If you invest, the stock rises and you made money to help you invest in other stuff.
if you didn't invest, the stock still rises anyway and you just opted to not make money because reasons, so now it will take you longer to get enough money to invest in other stuff

>>11173698
It wasn’t really that, I don’t want to train when it’s bad, but this placed is geared towards the plants so they have stupid safety regs that don’t actually keep you safe. I think it’s no less than 8 miles away for 30 mins. That’s fine but what pissed me off was their idea of shelter was for all of us to stand under a lean to.

>>11174093
Yes Canopy and maybe Aphria. If you want to long hodl, wait until around first quarter financials after Canadian sales start. Prices should be pretty low at that time as all the speculative money will have pulled out by then. Fair warning, if sales do not meet or exceed expectations, prices will tank across the whole sector. This is why entering long AFTER first financials is safest move for that kind of investing.

Acreage has the assets to dominate the US market if they're clever enough to stsy that far ahead. Watch out for alcohol companies looking to buy out existing weed operations in future. Constellation Brands (Corona beer) currently own 38% of Canopy Growth. It's not a stretch to think they might pull trigger on controlling interest at some point.

>>11174688
Today you can't get in to the military if you aren't already of a certain degree of fitness. I'm not sure how it was during the draft but I do know it was really common to get out because you weren't fit enough either mentally or physically. Most people with conditions or injuries dodged the draft completely, and obviously the military has no time to slim down fatties.

>>11174733
>today
I would agree with that today. I would encourage you too look into it back then though. Perfectly fit chad sons of military generals, congressmen and senators would pull strings so their sons wouldn't go and die in a pointless war.

>>11175181
Bezos will be laughing at you

Amazon is not a monopoly by any definition, they found the loophole that beats all monopolies

they dont own 100% of one market/sector

they own 10% of many many different markets/sectors (books, video streaming, online marketplace, delivery service, home electronics, groceries, ect ect)

and since they have so much cash flow, they can operate one branch at a loss for far longer than any competitors can

the only way to compete at a scale of amazon would be if disney, ford, walmart, apple, and a bunch of leaders in other markets, united together into one company


also as >>11175246
said, he makes no mention of amazon


>>11175261
nevermind, youre just a salty AMZN short
enjoy losing money

>>11175316
I've never shorted any of them I just love a good crisis especially when a short is involved

>>11175316
Also if Amazon outcompetes everyone to death they will inevitably become a monopoly. They'll have to allow most of their competitors to survive to remain at their current wide model.

>>11175391
That's what they do.
They haven't even dominated BOOKS, the market they have been in since the 90s.

>>11175401
In any case my antipathy towards amazon stems more from my general thoughts about these tech giants. The tech giants cause economic malaise in the US by outsourcing all their labor and keeping their money outside the reach of US taxation. They then proceed to do business in the US and extract wealth from it in the process which they then invest in outsourcing and tax evasion, as well as increasing their market share to better do both of those things. It's a net loss on several levels for the greater US economy.

>>11175416
The tech giants are actually a huge boon to the US economy. One of the big issues is that the US doesn't let them bring more workers in (I don't mean indian outsourcing firms, I mean 200k+ engineers from europe) and missing out on taxation.

>>11175391
>They'll have to allow most of their competitors to survive to remain at their current wide model.
they have never not done that, thats why they keep on winning

>>11175416
yes tech needs a hard correction (facebook, twitter, and I hate to say it, but probably google too), but saying amazon is a tech company is laughably misguided

>>11175431
>(I don't mean indian outsourcing firms, I mean 200k+ engineers from europe)
>implying the latter EVER happens
They aren't just bringing labor to the US, they are just as often paying for labor outside of the US.
>and missing out on taxation.
Large corporations dodging taxes is one of the main reasons corporate taxes have gone through the roof since the 70s. The large firms can easily dodge taxes so they raise taxes on the smaller firms who can't to make up the difference.

>>11175463
They aren't bringing them in because it is bloody difficult and the H1B queue is clogged with indian outsourcing firms.

>>11175450
Doesn't matter, what matters is how they extract wealth from the US economy and move it elsewhere. Apple is possibly the worst offender, it's a trillion dollar company, but the vast majority of it's investments are outside the US in their chinese sweatshops.

position trading is the superior trading strategy
not only is it easier, it's also often more profitable
all you need is patience

>>11175474
>Doesn't matter, what matters is how they extract wealth from the US economy and move it elsewhere.
again amazon tends not to do this (Apple is probably the worst offender of that though)

amazon moves revinue between sectors, and if anything uses US wealth to gain access in foreign markets, but they do not outsource jobs and manufacturing, at least not at a noticable scale, like many tech companies do

Amazon will survive, and thrive for many more years

>>11173775
That does sound like some bullshit.

post your returns and strategy

>identify a promising company
>hold a position for weeks or months
>instead of trying to guess when to sell, set a stop loss and raise it as the stock goes progressively higher (robinhood doesn't support trailing stop losses, so I have to do it manually)

I started trading 3 months ago, and this has worked for me so far
The tiny dips in the beginning are me having no idea what I'm doing and fucking around with a tiny amount of money
The most significant position I've held so far has been GALT, which I've been shilling on here since the beginning of August
I feel most confident in my ability to identify a decent company in biotech, since it's a matter of picking the ones with good science
One thing I think I could improve on is learning to identify if I'm setting a stop loss too tightly

>>11176280
Buy big bluechip stocks (Amazon, LMT, BA, NVDA), dividend stocks and indexes (WM, LMT, HON, SPY, DIA), gamble the remaining percent on memes and dreams
(And I got some BTC and ETH this summer...)

The dips are from making short bets, gains are from buying and holding

And never trust /int/

>>11176280
Same except I'm just gonna sell when I feel like the stock is headed downhill or no longer giving me a boner for whatever reason.

I have AMD and atvi. Might go for some riskier shit. I have 70k in an index fund so I'm going with about 4k only in individual stocks to personalize my gains.

>>11176361
>when I feel like the stock is headed downhill or no longer giving me a boner for whatever reason

the problem I personally have in this is that I trust setting stop losses over my own ability to identify if a dip is a healthy pullback or a sign of a longer-term downtrend
if I get stopped out, I either wait for it to go lower and buy back in later or just move on if it goes back up before I buy in again

Reminder movie night is tonight at 9:15 Mountain time!
Pic related is the location

I want to get into active trading, but I know statistically you usually lose money.

It seems comfy and fun though...

should I undercut comfy's movie night purely do to mountain time bullshittery

>>11176595
It's okay if you do movie night, I just want it to happen.
What will you show? I was planning on Jin Roh

>>11176590
the less active you are, the less money you typically lose
try position trading, it's the best balance of fun and comfy of all possible approaches imo
it's active enough for you to pay attention to what happens over the course of days and weeks, but long-term enough for you to not actually get stressed out over them

the trick is picking good companies and riding long term trends, so fundamental analysis is a lot more important than technical analysis, unlike in swing trading and day trading

>>11176595
if its retarded anime or barbie princess shit again then yes

big short and american psycho movie nights were fun though

LABU

What is up with debt to equity ratio on Investopedia? Boeing for example is literally at 1000:1. They can't seriously owe $1000 for every buck of equity, right? Other blue chips like Apple or Microsoft are at 100, which is also crazy. How do they not get crushed by debt?

>>11176730
no one is going to refuse them loans, they just pay the interest

>>11176703
I actually haven't watched it yet but I'm feeling jin roh tonight which I also haven't watched but I know is violent.

>>11176804
What time are you doing it? Post link plz

>>11176809
I just got jin roh bdrip file set up to stream so whenever the fuck you want really, maybe 9 est

oh make sure you have the fucking google drive extension shit installed

>>11176828
>9 est
Too early!! It's usually at 11 est!
Also if it's easier the entire movie is on youtube

>>11176849
ok I can do 11 est but I refuse to stream a stream like comfy because I am elitist especially when it comes to anime video quality

>>11176860
>>11176849
I'm really fuckin tired so I want to have it on by 10 est at the latest so that's the time we're doing it, lest I fall asleep again before the allotted time

>>11176860
>like comfy
C-comfy does the best he can! I'm sure h-he's a good guy

you fugging gay wad, people aren't going to be there in time!

Wall Street will never go all in Bitcoin. They will, instead, launch their own proof of work coin and slowly accumulate under the radar. Eventually they will rebrand their shitcoin and, with a little hel from their friends, make it mainstream.

Can you folks tell me when the big one is happening? I'd like to know so I can pull my money out of the stock market before it crashes. Thanks in advance!

you can avoid this moral dilemma by playing with options.
you dont own any stock in any insufferable evil companies, you just own a contract to do something with the shares.

option alpha on youtube has good videos.
theres one in the first post thats 2 hours long, its ok but the first 45 mins is bullshit.
but the idea is interesting.
if you hate FB you dont have to buy FB stock to make money you can buy a call and just sell the call if the stock goes up in price. You are trading the right to buy FB stock, thus not defying your moral sense not to buy the stock.

If I am trading options, and I want to Sell To Open, do I need to own the security first? Whose shares am I selling at that point?

>>11175090
At that point what is the play? Short it?

>>11179409
It seems like shorting it on Monday as soon as trading opens, since it's weekend news.

>>11179378
Yes/no, but it depends on your account size and your account level if you can open that trade.

>>11178918
How modest is modest? And why do you believe this?

>>11179378
Give me sometime and I'll try to type it up when i get on my pc.

>>11179417
Ok. So there are additional rules for holding and writing options. It seems like if someone can make predictions within a decent range of time then a lot of gains can be made with options.

So when you sell to open an option, there are two types you can sell to open, a call and a put. You need to understand how they work before understanding what you can (and can't do) with them. I'm gonna do some reddit spacing to get this clean:

When you buy a call, you are paying for the right (aka choice) to purchase that stock at the set price (known as the strike price) for a limited period of time.

When you buy a put, you are paying for the right (aka choice) to purchase that stock at the strike price for a limited time.

Now being on the opposite side of the trade, selling:

When you sell a call, you are receiving a fee for the OBLIGATION to sell at the strike price for a limited time.

When you sell a put, you are receiving a fee for the OBLIGATION to buy at the strike price for a limited time.

So as you can see, with buying options, the only risk is what you pay for the contract. When you buy however... let's explore.

Image you are the SELLER of a CALL for stock XYZ. The stock is currently at $40. You decide to sell a call at the strike price of $50 for $66 that expires in 1 month. So you get $66 credited to your account and you are thinking "as long as the stock doesn't go above $50 I'm safe to keep my $66 I made." Now let's say that doesn't happen. Let's say within the month, the stock shoots to $100. You don't own the stock. But now that guy activates his contract because he wants to own the actual shares for whatever reason. Now you as the seller have an obligation to get him those shares. Even though right now you don't own any. So you go into the market, and have to buy 100 shares at $100 a pop and then it gets transferred to him.

As you can see that can be a dangerous situation. So there are certain levels for option trading accounts. The highest tiers will allow you to do trades like the ones above. Usually it'll be a kind of margin deal where you need like 20% of the potential transfer at anytime or something.

>>11179944
Thorough information. I appreciate that you took your time to write it out. This makes sense to me, but it also seems I should wait on trading options, and then work my up by buying the right options so I can get some favorable prices on stocks.

>>11179993
Well, don't just go straight into buying. There is so much I wish I could relay to you on option trading. The /biz/ and WSB way is a pretty "fuck it" style where they buy high gamma options and hope for a pop that turns them into huge rollers. There are so many ways to use them besides that, and the understanding of their mechanics is very important.
