>>11661861

but its not shaking up congress, its congress doing the exact same thing it always does in a midterm election after a new president is chosen

we've been doing this since the fucking 1800's

>>11662057
yes, but strait ticket ballots should be illegal
and candidates should run on their name alone, not their name and sponsor

term limits for congress would be a great step in the right direction though

>>11662072
no, their government isnt that great

Elections are paramount to market movements, especially considering the incumbent administration. The chance for a President losing his majority has drastic effects on the market, thus, all political posts in this thread are /biz/ and /smg/ related.

Its is of the utmost importance that everyone here keep up to date second by second to appropriate plan their moves for the coming week. Memes included.

because stoichiometry, after 50 or so even weighted stocks, the average randomized portfolio starts to beat most ETF's, and most "professional" broker firms

beating the SP index is not something thats hard to do, unless you never pay attention to stocks

but judging by how you are on /biz/ i doubt you are someone who buys stocks once, then forgets about them for 5+ years

>>11662654
hmm story checks out

>>11662686
is tehre any way to backtest for having bought some subset of companies off every 1% or 3% dip or something similar? the top 25 or 50 or 100 companies by mcap in the US?

>>11662697
probably, most ive seen are randomized, even weight, reset positions monthly

random walk basically demands that a bunch of stocks that are truly random will beat one stock a majority of the time, but of course in real life there is always a few exceptions

and "random" stocks means true random, like throw darts at a newspaper, or let a 2 year old pick your stocks

I havnt done much testing of it with actual stocks though, i get enough of that crap in my fluid dynamics and thermo/heat transfer homework

>>11662608
I do a mix of funds and stocks. So I'm pretty diverse and the risk is spread way out. Also get the dividends.

I've drank 3 gallons of sweet tea and eaten three steaks to celebrate the glorious victory.

>>11662774
there seems like there shoudl be a better plan than 'pick anything you could buy at random' thats superior to 'buying by mcap' like index funds

buy every 2% dip? filter by top 500 mcap? buy anything with a 10% year? buy anything that makes it into top 500 by mcap? sell anything that drops out of top 500 by mcap?

there has to be a better selector than 'random' that still beats index funds there has to be

>>11662774

I haven't looked at this either but I wonder how the power law tail distributions of stocks affect averaging. I know power laws tend to require much larger sample size before CLT/LLN type results kick in at a noticeable level. I'm guessing it will still work but you would expect a hell of a lot more volatility as compared to, say, assuming a normal random walk or something.

>>11662697
Embrace entropy, she is the reason for all things, all actions since before time began

nothing happens without entropy allowing it, nothing will ever disobey her laws

>>11662834
the markets are not rational, and you do not know what will happen in the future (if you can see into the future, just buy some winning lottery tickets, dont waste time with stocks)

>>11662834
Buy into a company you know will still be kicking in 30 years. One that pays a dividend and will keep growing/earning profit. Although even that is not a sure thing, look at GE. They been around for like over 100 years and now they are in the shit. Your best bet is Disney, T, and KO. Cause as long as they make movies/entertainment and make softdrinks, kids will flock to it. Apple, MS are also good picks. Amazon, well your best chance is via ETF or if they do a 6/1 stock split. I honestly think sooner or later the Government will step in and split Amazon up if they keep "expanding" into other areas. Monopoly laws and shit. Like they did to T back in the day.

>>11662842
most random portfolio benchmarks ive seen assume equal weight for each stock
not a problem if you have 200 stocks worth $1 or less each, but if the randomizer picks AMZN one month, then you better have 200x whatever AMZN's current price is
(or it it picks BRK.A, you better be a multimillionaire) so there are real world constraints on it

and just because it works 90% of the time, doesnt guarantee that you will be one of the 90% that it works with

I think K-means and HCA technically have a better return distrubution too, but you have to be very active to do those well

pic related, black line is S&P 500 returns over the same period of time

futures moving at the speed of light

>>11662842
>>11662905
also once you have more stocks than the indexes do, you begin to see diminished returns

pic related, x-axis is number of stocks in randomized portfolio, y-axis is returns %

50-200 stocks seems to be the sweet spot

>>11662867
i googled this article the photo is from and it was as i guessed an equal montly weighting strategy, not as you claimed buy 200 companies and hold them and you beat index. equal weight strategies are not practical however they lose to sp500 in fact. there are trading strategies that are way more practical than these kind of theoretical plays

>>11662957

That is a really interesting plot. Do you by chance have the same thing, but with cumulative variance (or standard deviation) on the y-axis? I'm just curious.

i bought sqqq calls. i do opposite of what everyone else thinks. yesterday, i bought apple calls and everyone said i was going to fail but they went up 50% (i cashed out at 25% as i fell for the bull trap). if my sqqq calls go to shit by eod, ill just doubledown

THREADLY REMINDER THAT DIVIDENDS ARE YOUR FREN

Okay I've seen enough of the election numbers. GOP takes senate no problem. Tight race on house. Neutral leaning towards positive outcome for economy. Investors who yoinked out money back in October will come back in on account of nothing silly happened. Green for the rest of the week. Trending green for the rest of November probably. Maybe pump it up real stupid until mid December tax selling gets going.

Also, and not to get too /pol/ish here, the salty bitter tears of the lefties on Canadian CBC radio this evening were pretty glorious. I'm fairly moderate as far as politics goes but they sense of ego and sanctimonious claims to being correct the lefties are fond of lately rub me the wrong way. I enjoy when they don't get what they want.

When people act with righteous indignation and pretend they care about the stupidest shit, even more so, use that stupid shit to try and push their own agendas, thats when I just put on the gas mask and play the nazi they vilify me as.

Markets will pump since people have been running from the market for a month or two, then after they FOMO we see an early 2019 dip potentially.

Half my candidates are protected to lose, but i ain't even mad
Prop 1 and Prop 2 will probably pass
Prop 3 too which I was against, but hey now I'm reregistered to vote automatically in the future, so it's winwin

>>11663378
Based Tex! I hope your voice was heard today!

>>11663462
Probably, that's why black Friday is such a glorious day, it's nothing but green from then to New year's, unless stock royally fucks up

And yes, schadenfreude is always delicious

>>11663524

Yeah I figured the dude weed would go through in the two states that had recreational up for vote this evening. I don't see anything about the other yet, North Dakota. Looks like Utah passed for medical.

this black guy on CNN is absolutely lowkey roasting the Cuckabee guy

that guy is such cringe, does he do anything besides get 1% of the presidential vote and give up every cycle

>>11663568

Another good thing for burger weed legalization progress is the loss of Pete Sessions. Pete blocked a bunch of weed related legislation the past two years. Him being gone is great news for the dude weed lobby. Maybe I should start calling it Big Weed now, on account of there is a real industry for rec in North America now.

Big Weed.

Christmas spending is going to be huge.

Lost the house.

Pathetic

>>11663704
Red won't win it but neutral is not off the table. Personally, I'm content with Cruz either way.

Look up california prop 8 and then look up DVA

>>11663568
yea im surprised its so close to be honest, republicans tend to be more in favor of legalization than democrats in my area, especially if those republicans are over 60

must be white democrats voting against weed? then again most black people I meet are under 30, so maybe old black people hate weed?

also fuck, stabinow is projected to get reelected to senate, that baich needs to retire already

also its surprising that flint voted republican, topkek

>detroit and lansing always drag us into the blue

some things never change

>>11663734
why not just spoonfeed us?

Absolutely perfect midterms.

Lost house - this was needed, not like republicans had any plans for legislation
Gained senate seats
Can attack pelosi for 2 years and dem obstructionism
All major political actors lost (gillum / beto), beto was a shoe in for president candidate if he won

Absolutely perfect. While we do miss a house loss that would have been hilarious tonight, it would have been bad in the long run.

>>11663742
>why not just spoonfeed us?
because this thread is full of faggots

did the libs get owned? or was it a blue wave?

what happens to markets for 2019?

>>11663758
it was blue kiddy pool

>>11663761
The dem choice for 2020 got btfo by based delegates man

>>11663758
Republican senate
Most likely democrat very slight win in house

Neutral outcome and positive for the markets. I agree with the anon above that economically this is likely the best possible outcome for the markets. 2019 green. No recession until at least 2020.

>>11663747
Beto was the most important election tonight by far. Ted held his ground against a mountain of funding and political pressure. He has been damaged since 2016, even if this is his last rodeo he did well.

>>11663753
I was looking into it but now I don't wanna talk about it cause you are a big fat meanie head.

>>11663772
They wanted to run on beto winning into 2020 so bad.

>>11663769
Ted Cruz is the only Republican I would vote for. He would bring in a golden dawn of homosexual death squads and reign from heaven above

>>11663777
Ya I know >>11663258

If he had won he would have been in talk shows and debates nonstop. A fast track to the presidency just like what they did with Obama.

>>11663261

All i care about is whatever outcome fuels the golden bull.

>>11663803
So what? You're shorting this? I don't really know how likely it is to pass, but looks pretty shitty. California considered I guess it has a 100% chance of going through. Any reason this company in particular as opposed to others? Is it just the tiny ass volume?

from what? are you the guy with cancer?

>>11664103
Nah, I have some immune and gastrointestinal problems with a moderate (50/50 lol) 10 year prognosis.

It's going to get worse as I age though so I will certainly kms.

Read reports it was going to keep going down close to $15, with it's real value at $11

Should I just go big now while I still can? Was only going to dump $1000 anyways.

My current average is $11 with 52 shares.

God damned roller coaster stock.

A government works best when it doesn't work at all

That's how we've had a government that has lasted over 200 years
Which is older than 95% of the government's in the world today

most if not all of europe is younger than us, besides britian (arguably) and a couple city-states, along with one of the scandinavian countries. napoleon and WWII wiped out most of the continent
and western hemisphere is nothing but young countries, even if you ignore revolutions in various countries
and most of asia in general is young, modern china has only been going since the 1940's or 1950's


fuck im older than the current governments of russia and germany. most modern nations are really young, as much as people like to talk shit about america having "no history", weve been way more stable than any of the others

people underestimate just how valuable a stable government system, without violent revolutions is

VIX tanking. We're back.

Long term it's also the best outcome because markets aren't at risk of overheating now. Tax cuts 2.0 would have killed us hard in 2020.

>>11665338
shoo shoo bogs, you have no power here!
pic related (its you)

The absolute normal behavior is for the major indices to spike following the midterms. This is it lads, pick your winners today, it will get expensive if you wait.

>>11665452
Everything from the past month has been anything but normal though.

>>11665472
Not really anon, the dip in oct was maybe deeper on trade fears but the trend is comparible

Bears can only thrive in two scenarios.

People have FOMO'd too hard on the market causing it to reach unrealistic values, this eventually causes crashes/corrections, rather they be big or small, short or long. These bears are healthy for the market and keep things stable.

But the second type of bear is the type to cause a nuclear winter economically. This second, vile, disgusting bear, is born from the communal heart of despair from a people so broken, that they believe the future of their nations, the fruits of their labor and community, is shadowed in a castle of lies and the walls are falling. These bears devour the naivety of all who would listen to their cries of the "sky is falling" and in the process force many smarter investors to dump their investments as well, so that they too may reenter at a cheaper point. Like a plague this spreads to fools and the very market makers themselves; and just like a sickness does, it eventually creeps back no matter how many times its expelled from our putrid vessels.

Oh ya, also the secret third time when your government is doing retarded shit.

My point being, people constantly have told me "sentiment" and "politics" are not relevant when investing, but in reality, unless you are one of those buy an index and wait 60 years people, its everything.

Always be on lookout for the bear, don't ignore the signs. Consult with your local animal wildlife expert to find out how to react in case of a type 2 bear appearance, as well as the many ways to differentiate from all 3 types. Knowing the difference could save your life, but even more importantly, your portfolio.

Friend...

alright this is gonna be my first day, lets see how this goes

>>11665926
No it was green before the election because of the hype now it will be red because of reality.

>>11666319
wasn't there an vote in a state on legalising it yesterday or something

Yes but it won't be commercially available in MI until at least 2020 and the regulations aren't even finalized. The reality is it's still a long way away.
