In my case I wageslaved while mooching of my parents and then they died penniless and I have enough money to easily pay through college and support myself for the next 5-8 years (with my added income from day trading)
Worked out pretty well for me. I keep reading all this shit about people my age in debt and it seems completely avoidable. Never been in debt myself but it seems p fucking stressful

>>13249689
oh my god how is it not done yet?
I thought those fucking engineers at Google knew their shit
this is bullshit

>>13249637
just order from a wholesale meat supplier, and a big freezer

order some whole chickens, or larger cuts (ribeye or chuck clod would be my choice, but there are quite a few options, if you are able to cut through bone then get pic related for T-bones n Porterhouse steaks every night), get a good knife, then cut to portions and freeze when you get meat

t. I used to be a butcher

>That’s why you use IRAs to roll over old 401(k)s to dodge the tax bite on the transfer
I quit a job in November and haven't fucked around with trying to roll over my 401k yet.

I'm also not planning to touch my current 401k until july or september... I'm focusing on packing away cash into my bank accounts for now. I'm at 25k-40k.
I plan to just max out the 401k in the last half or quarter of the year.

>>13249717
I like that thing they've done with turkey where they've somehow ground it 99% lean. Just send me vats of that shit. Why can't they do that with ground chicken though?

>>13249733
Why? The new ten-year bull run is just beginning, and by the last quarter of the year you'll have missed out on the 5% gains in the S&P 500.

When is the trade deal happening?

>>13249774
>5% gains in the S&P
Trump's pumping the stock market so he won't lose in 2020. We're gonna keep going up each quarter by 5%.

>>13249805
A month or more. You'll hear about it

>>13249805
every weekday for the next 3 years

>>13249735
chicken is terrible to grind, it shreads, it doesnt look like ground meat no matter how you grind it, which is why many places wont even bother trying to sell it (despite what anyone says, 99% of customers shop with their eyes)

i worked at a small local grocery store, and i hated when people would ask for ground chicken, because it means spending 20 cleaning the damn grinder after you spend 5 minutes preparing $8 worth of food (at most, usually it was not even $2 worth of chicken)

you can just get a small meat grinder for home use, and shred your chicken at home (CLEAN THAT SHIT AFTER EVERY SINGLE BATCH THOUGH, chicken is the absolute worst meat for bacteria, frozen fish doesnt even get you as sick when cross contaminated as chicken)

as an added bonus, you can make delicious sammich spread at home with various meats, to prolong shelf life


im dead serious though, if you use a grinder for chicken (uncooked chicken) and you dont wash it within an hour, then you need to soak that shit in bleach overnight, or torch the grinder in an oven for a few hours, because you will get more sick from chicken contaminating other food than if you had just sucked some shit out of a dirty prostitutes leaky asshole

>>13249774
Then why don't people just max their 401k at the start of the year, and not put anything in it for the last 6+ months of the year?

Lots of fuding this weekend on the finance news sites.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whoever-behind-stock-market-rally-140646372.html

Dialing back my bullishness. Although if hedgies already sold two weeks ago, they're not gonna drag us down as much this week, presenting an opportunity. Also if sentiment is beating hedgies, that could also be real good sign that we're going high short term.

>>13250030
Irrational bullishness may be more of a selloff signal. Things seem to be calming down and everyone is concerned with yield curve and China. Could be good for stability.

>>13249711
Boom. Fucking demolished. Could you honestly write a more convincing rant than this, /smg/?

I'm sure you fuckers don't appreciate this, but I know some overpaid asshat at Google has to figure out what the fuck to make of this

>>13250073
Irrational bullishness is great for short term options, if futures pumps the S&P my calls are gonna open 100-200%.
There's definitely no way I'm longing anything.

Russel 2000 still hasn't recovered from decemeber, could be a nice opportunity there.

>>13250124
Tell me about it
My MVALX still hasn’t recovered

I fundamentally do not believe in America's longevity.

how do you guys stomach buying options? i know most people don't execute and just sell when it's profitable, but there's a chance it doesn't become profitable before expiry. how do i become a degenerate gambler? i can't shake this mindset yet because i don't have enough cash to blow to lose hundreds to thousands nonchalantly.

>>13250338
ATM is basically just buying an amount of shares that you usually couldn't afford to buy with a limited amount of time you can hold those shares.
I cant afford to buy 1000 shares of Apple, but I can afford to buy 100 contracts to buy apple. If Apple increases by 1 dollar, I can sell those contracts for the relatively same amount of money I would make if I had bought 1000 shares.

OTM is more gamblish, betting on a stock's increase with a chance of the options expiring worthless if your predictions are wrong.

NEON

NTGN

VYR

PLUG

LYFT

>>13250338
>i can't shake this mindset yet because i don't have enough cash to blow to lose hundreds to thousands nonchalantly.

I think this week I lost 900 selling options at a loss, but made 1900 in profit. My max risk was ~2500.

The most degenerate gambling I do is buying a couple hundred dollars in biotech options for 0.05-0.10 before catalysts and just wait and see. Hit a 2500% return on one of them last week.

>>13250481
>NEON & Neon Therapeutics

Did you not know which was which and bought one of them by accident?

>>13250537
no

i bought both because they are money makers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSXJATcC2dI

is this legit? what are the downsides?

what if the price goes up? will i have to close the position? how long will i have to close the position if all goes according to plan?

>>13249640
Anyone use one of those robo advisors with auto tax loss harvesting?

College is a big joke anymore. The value is about gone unless your wanting some high brainy type job (scientist, physicist,etc).

You go, 4 years later tossed out neck deep in debt, that framed paper degree you busted your ass over gets tossed in a box never seen again once you land your first job. HR Types don't even bat an eye anymore when you say "I'm a college grad" on the application form.

Again; you bust your ass for a piece of paper that winds up in a dusty box.

>>13250737
Go to community college

>>13250764
Nah, I don't need it. I'm pretty set in my current job. Doing pretty good to despite not having any college degree to my name. Hell with the spread of Online College now you could just get a fake degree w/transcript and long as you showed a bit of common sense and know how about the job in question you'd never get caught.

>>13250737
>HR Types don't even bat an eye anymore when you say "I'm a college grad" on the application form.
That's because it has become an expectation for white collar jobs -- "of course you have a college degree... (because you wouldn't even be here if you didn't)"

>>13250787
It depends on the online college.
Georgia Tech does have a solid online master's program, supposedly

>>13250787
I feel like the social benefits of college are the only important thing to experience. I didn't go to college but now I'm going to community/online college, but I really feel like I missed out on some normie experiences. Making friends seems impossible at this point in my life, since it just doesn't happen organically anymore and everyone already has existing college friend circles.

>I thought what I'd was, I'd pretend I was one of those perma-bulls

>Or should I?

>>13250902
You won’t have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody at least.

Also I can’t host movie night tonight, and comfy is nowhere to be seen. Typical

>>13250737
Of you don’t get the degree and have those people skills polished, you’re gonna be shining shoes or valeting cars. Trust me, I’m just cobbling together my life now after finding that out the hard way.

>>13250873
>I feel like the social benefits of college are the only important thing to experience.
it is pretty important.. the only reason I got into stocks is because i was bored and went to school. Since meeting that person that got me into stocks i've got a business that deals with small publicly traded companies.. all because I went to school.

>>13250737
>College is a big joke anymore
It is kinda a joke.. I don't think people should really go full time to college unless they are pursuing something they are either passionate about or that demands a lot of schooling. I think work is more important. Imo majority of people should work full time and school part time.. unless of course they are going to college for some really special shit then they should focus entirely on school.. but lets face it.. most people go to school for stupid ass degrees then complain about them afterwards.

>movie night is officially dead this weekend

disappointing

>>13250873
if you want friends you should first try not being a self-depreciating sad fuck

>>13251010
>movie night am dead

>>13249640
New to stocks (but not crypto) I dont really want to day trade or anything, but my funds are going to be low (~1000$) what is my best bet? I want to buy some of the recommends here such as big dividend ones, pharma, maybe gold stocks etc. What is the best broker? I know people recommend RH but I dont like the idea of using my phone, would prefer my computer. Any good broker with zero fees (and access to otc etc.?)

>>13249640
Torn between these. Convince me which one is best to invest in right now.

>>13251010

My thought process is AMD now until computex, then dump, then pick up blizz just in time for wow classic launch, the dump, then pick up AT&T for the foreseeable future as the 5g infrastructure meme could become a reality.

>>13251118
AMD. When crypto is pumping again, and that's good for GPU/CPU sales.

>>13251113
Most brokers have a phone app and web portal including RH.
>>13251118
AMD options in 33s have some of the highest implied volatility on the market. Could be a good signal that people are eyeing a breakout

>>13251139
But Crypto isn't even mined with gpus anymore right? Or is that only late stage Cryptos such as btc?

are there any charts that include dividend reinvestments?

>>13251094

SPY, DIA, QQQ, IWD if you are a uber noob (SPY and DIA if you cannot afford one of each)

some better stocks are SMG, WM, LMT, HON, AMZN, but if you are financially illiterate, than you might want to wait, or just watch those at first
>I want to buy some of the recommends here such as big dividend ones, pharma, maybe gold stocks etc. What is the best broker? I know people recommend RH but I dont like the idea of using my phone, would prefer my computer.
RH works on computer too (anything that works with a web browser). you can get an android emulator for pc to run the robinhood app if you wanted too
Any good broker with zero fees (and access to otc etc.?)
not besides Robinhood, so pick your poison: paying $5+ a trade, or being forced to use limit orders on an app with bad graphs

protip: just use something else besides robinhood to check stock prices

>me too, you should embrace it though
I literally cannot, my body unconsciously forces a smile and faux interest. Curse evolution and the adaptations that ensure my survival within communally driven societies.

Although I've noticed the bigger my gains are that week, the less my brain forces this behavior. It's probably a subconscious equation where I'm assigning survival value to being seen favorably in the eyes of society, then weighing it against the actual dollars i make,
aahhh I just want to be rich enough to be an asshole.

>>13250873
>I feel like the social benefits of college are the only important thing to experience.
A lot of the people that I referred to the companies that I've worked at full-time have been college friends, and as soon as I came to Seattle, the first people that I've tried to hang out with have been college friends.

Otherwise, a lot of the shit that I've done on the job have kind of been shit that I've picked up on my own.
Aside from those networking opportunities, college seems like it has primarily been just a very long, drawn-out test of whether or not you'd be able to handle your shit in the industry that your major is intended for and pick things up.

>but I really feel like I missed out on some normie experiences.
What you missed out on are commonalities (common courses at the college required for graduation and common places that people would hang out) and bonding experiences (such as hazing for a fraternity).

>Making friends seems impossible at this point in my life, since it just doesn't happen organically anymore and everyone already has existing college friend circles.
A lot of the people that I've referred to my new workplace have been people that I enjoyed/tolerated working with at my previous company.
Was there a chill dude that you enjoyed working with at McDonald's? When you switch to working at Chipotle, you might try to bring him over.

>Babby's first options market
Okay, I didn't watch the whole thing and maybe he math'd this shit out more than that you can simply do a synthetic short with put options, but yeah, that's a thing you can do.

>is this legit?
Yup. Just like how you can go long with bare call options, you can go short with put options.
>what are the downsides?
Well, first of all, there's theta decay.
Second, you're trying to short the fucking market, which rarely makes money.

>what if the price goes up? will i have to close the position? how long will i have to close the position if all goes according to plan?
Well, if you're just buying options, then you'd never be forced to close your position unless you somehow managed to buy options on margin.
Following, the actual instructions from the video, which I don't think you even fucking watched, you might actually be forced to close your position if you actually do literally sell a fucking naked option.

>>13251924
The guy in the video explains exactly what the risks are, anon. Your questions are just basic options trading. Recommend you thoroughly understand how options work and how they move before attempting this type of trade.

Stop buying puts on US markets, it doesn’t make sense statistically. I usually tell people that the world’s only good bear market is Japan but those days are coming to an end.

Puts are really only good to hedge your calls. Buy some puts as we struggle against ATH just in case we fly down to the 270s because of the precedent set by the previous ATH.

>>13254481
$600 a month, not bad.
but if you can get a house with a nice loan, under 4% fixed interest, you're basically paying yourself.
If I could have rented in my area for 600/month I might not have bough my house. but the way things were, rent/buy were pretty much the same monthly price, os I might as well be building equity and hedging inflation by buying a house.

did you bet against the big green boys
did you put your money on a fantasy of rules and rationality? in the economy? in 2019?

honestly just look around you at the world. things are getting less and less reasonable every day. there is no reason that markets should go up. so, they'll keep going up until every last bear gives up. only then will they fall.
just ask yourself every week 'will the markets go down this week? is it possible for the markets to go down ever again?'
and if the answer is yes, don't short. the markets will go up

bearish capitulation should continue over the next few weeks until everyone is bought in

>>13254711
>Not being manly enough to survive a bad area

Honestly Pittsburgh real estate is different than most of the country. It isn't that bad an area as you describe.

Just funded my questrade account. Should I go 100% VGRO or 70% VGRO and 30% something else? Ideas?

I lost like $80 on TLRY calls (bought a total of 5, sold 3 for small gain, 2 expired)

I should have known at the time to chill
so I sort of learned from it, but mostly I already knew the things I needed to know to not buy those contracts, I did it anyway because I'm stupid.
I need to re-organize and re-focus my whole portfolio over the next couple days. Whenever I get too spread out my decision making gets worse.

>>13255993
Up 45 dollar for me 2 weeks ago with 17.5 and 18.5. Was down 400 but I bought 18.5 when it spiked into the 19s and turned a tidy break even/small profit.
The 18 support is really strong, you shouldn't have bought puts this week if you'd watched the charts after earnings (unless they were old ones then nvm).
CRON and ACB perform very similarly, ACB followed the same movement post-earnings.

>>13256016
More or less, yes, but I'm thinking 15-20 years in a tax free account. Should I just 30% Canada, 30% US and international, 40% oil and/or healthcare?

Am I stupid or does Robinhood appear to be the only platform that charts real time options spread changes and puts them into a historical graph (only if you're holding some though)?
I can't find anything similar. Its incredibly useful for visualization.

Anon who bought NGE (MSCI Nigeria) because it sounded kinda like "nigger." Total return is -23% currently. I wonder when that shithole is going to become an African powerhouse. It has hundreds of millions of people!

The fact that it’s happened twice means it’s unlikely to happen a third. Patterns only exist long enough for idiots to latch onto them. 2-4 times is usually the standard so when people finally behave in a predictable way they lose all their money to the big boys.

That being said, we’re hitting the ATH on Tuesday/Wednesday and then selling off after lunch on Wednesday. Buybacks/major sell offs will happen after the fed’s minutes are made public.

Is next week going to go sideways like the week before last? Or are we going full bull this April?

>Tuesday, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Rich Clarida will be speaking at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Spring 2019 Institute Conference. He will be talking about the Fed’s monetary policy path.
>Wednesday will be the busiest day of the week. First, the Labor Department will be releasing CPI data for March. CPI is often looked to as a key inflation gauge. Economists polled by Bloomberg are expecting core CPI to have risen 0.2% from last month and 2.1% from last year.
>Also on Wednesday, executives from the big banks head to Capitol Hill to testify before the House Committee of Financial Services at 9 a.m. ET. The official list of execs attending has not been released, but it is expected that Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are slated to attend.
>Additionally, the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) March meeting will be released at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Market watchers will be looking for clues on just how dovish the Fed has gotten. More details regarding the balance sheet are unlikely, according to TD Securities. “The minutes are likely to show peak dovishness in terms of nervousness about the outlook. Balance sheet details are unlikely,” the bank wrote. Furthermore, ING predicts that the Fed will “give some clues as to what it may take for the Fed to deviate from their current “patient” stance on monetary policy. We continue to look for stable rates through 2019.”

Wednesday will tell. Coincides with hitting the ATHs at our current growth rate.

T's EX date is almost here. Time to watch for the Dip and get my buy order in. My funds are almost ready to be released into buying 82 more nice T shares and maybe some more GE depending on how far the dip is. Then 100 nice shiny T shares will be mine along with maybe 30 juicy GE ones along for the ride.

Hopefully I'll get a nice double dip play this week and bag them both cheaply. Who knows maybe I'll end up with some extra dough. I'll plow it into my S&P fund if there's enough of it.

Till 2032 will I hold on to T and let that fat Divvy work for me. Then once 2032 comes and goes turn off that Drip and pocket the fat cash flow. Who knows I may hold on to GE as well, that Divvy will get reinstated at some point you know. Those Divvys will help keep me nice and warm when I'm an old perverted man in his 60's

S&P 500 you are already aware of. It's the 500 companies that make up that index, but it is large cap only and roughly makes up 80% of the total market. Total Stock Market index funds further diversify into the medium and small caps that make up the rest of the US domestic stock market.

Most pundits believe S&P 500 is good enough if you don't have access to a Total Stock Market index fund. Personally I prefer TSM, but S&P 500 is good enough to represent indexed US equity holdings.

>>13261101
it depends on which phase over all market in. In a directional market, for sure Money Makers will have their short and nothings stopping them.

But Since where kinda in between a bull and bear market then theres nothing better to do than mess with Shorts.

Futures really red I’m dead

time....to die.....

>>13261101
>>13261122
oh.. and i forgot to add that institutional ownership is up to 87%

If tute ownership is 87% and shares short is 70% think about it... do the math

Shit is getting tight.. real fucking tight.. LCI is going to $30

>>13260731
I don't screw around with puts unless I'm 80%, and shorts unless I'm 99% sure. Puts don't have infinite downside like shorts do though. You'll only ever risk the amount you spent purchasing an option, whether it be a put or a call.
Puts however, do have a limit to their upside, whereas calls dont.

Don't options trade unless you have a consistent win streak trading stocks, since at their core they function as riskier, higher reward short term stock trades.

Give it time. Weed has picked up a lot of momentum in the states and worldwide. More places go legal the more data is available showing there is no detriment to society as a result of legalization.

STOP IT

No.. thats retarded.. they are lending out their shares and collecting interest from the shorts...
Again.. Do the math.

Institutions aren't bailing they are buying, Their ownership is up 4% from the past few weeks........

The company I work for has been losing money the past 6 quarters but we’re breaking even now.
Fortunately I’m ultra safe, I think at least 95% of our staff would be let go before me
Unfortunately I got my offer of employment for an internal move and they basically want to pay me like 2.5% more to do a more demanding job. I’m looking for +10% at least, more like 15% or 20%. So no idea how that is going to go

WHY THE FUCK is my robinhood portfolio value decreasing?! It's the weekend, the market is closed. None of my stocks have changed value. Yet my total robinhood balance fell from 5.94 to 5.34! Yeah its only 60 cents and it's comically low. I didn't add any money to it to begin with just sold the free beginner stock and invested them in a handful of penny stocks to get a feeling for it.

So why did I lose roughly 10% on my portfolio on a Sunday?

>Also, the kind of people that get fired the traditional way rather than laid off tend to be people that just don't fit in with the other normies, rather than somebody that's fucking retarded
yep.. basically... I've never really had a normal job.. i've always figured that i'd probably never even get hired in the first place because as soon as people see me they assume i'm very... different... so whats the point of trying.. so i just go into business for myself.. fuck the corporate ladder.

What are you holding? RH has many bugs, but one thing it does do correctly is that your total account value will be the sum of all your positions. So if you click through you can find which one changed.
RH will sort of, sometimes get off-hours prices right from EH trading. That part is much less sure. Sometimes on open or towards higher vol extended hours times the price will be more accurate

Interesting how some do-nothings are insulated from it, though, like the local IT guy, when most other sites have corporate remote IT. I know it's an important role, but homeboy makes a clone of every PC in the building like once a week just to look busy.

BPMX

Buy it now. Just trust me. It's 9 cents a share.

Future getting less red. Probably because Hangseng finished so high and Nikkei futures are green. Still selling calls at open, probably a good day to iron condor.
I’m pretty positive we’ll finish the day green, but I’m not willing to bet on it like a degenerate gambler. Buy calls, let futures take them atm opening bell, that’s my strategy.

Brainlets should’ve dropped this with Boeing. I’m probably gonna buy calls after BA hits bottom

The way I see it, if you can find a job doing nothing, do it. I wouldn't report someone unless they were in my department and I was doing all their work.
