First for I bet all you faggots are poor

feels a bit chill, innit?

>>14900474
the best way in my experience is to stare at a blank wall unmoving for around 10 minutes during the sunrise period. Feet never show up, only hands

>>14900557
sunrise is usually a good time to be out enjoying the crisp fresh air, maybe some tea and sausage on for brekkie, enjoying the first fag of the day.

If I actually bother to wake up early and stare at a wall for ten minutes when I could be enjoying a beautiful sunrise, I better get a fantastic handjibby for my troubles

>>14900557
Touched as a baby theory confirmed, I’m so sorry fren

I hear Italian mothers kiss their baby boys penises and whisper “grow, grow!” So maybe your circumstance is not so unusual.

Now, for the S&P...
>grow, grow!

>>14900614
>fantastic handjibby
>getting handjobs after 8th grade
thats fucking sad, i can give myself a fantastic handjob for free, whenever i want to
why waste time trying to get someone else to do is (and do it worse than you can too)

>>14900662
you don't understand. it's a phantasmic spirit handy J
I'm receiving the h-jobb from 'The Hands'. not just some hands, but THE hands. I've never done it before but it's like a cosmic adventure, an opportunity to make real and meaningful contact with the metaphysical

>>14900614
If you have the ability to see it, you wont be thinking of handjobs, youll immediately go into full panic/death mode. If you can get past this which is probably impossible you can use telepathy

>>14900620
Its not a joke or delusion, I wish I could show you videos of all the hands Ive seen. So many different sizes, shapes and actions. Ive seen one half the size o my body, white and hairy, and hops on the wrist. Small brown ones that speed along walls and only one has reached and touched my face

>>14900725
>youll immediately go into full panic/death mode
Just from seeing something weird?
is there a chance I actually die, or is the hand just messing with my emotions?
Is there any chance of permanent mental damage?
what if the first hand I summon is larger than the earth?

What's your guys average hold time?

>>14900779
>Selling stocks ever
You don't sell stocks.

You buy in companies that can withstand the ravages of time, and reinvest your dividends.

You buy more as it goes up, and if it drops, you REALLY START BUYING THE FUCK OUT OF IT.

And if you chose poorly and your stock never comes back up, you go down with the ship.

NEVER EVER SELLING.

>>14900758
The hands arent separate entities, they are YOUR hands. It wont harm you, The only problem is that the moment you see it your mind turns off and you run in fear automatically.

also I mean Telekinesis/Psychokinesis not telepathy. They can move objects but as far as Im concerned it's impossible to manually control because your fear overwhelms you and the hand dissinigrates within seconds

>>14900883
Earlier you said mind control, which indicates telepathy. Now you're on telekinesis?

Makes more sense if you’re visualizing hands I guess

Sold my TSLA. 18% gain in 6 weeks but I sold and don't feel good... make me feel better

>>14900697
id rather do it for a cosmic blowjob, or a cosmic doggystyle with a phat ass

>>14900779
depends on the stock

if its a long term hold like LMT, BA, or WM, then i hold that shit forever

if its a /biz/ meme, i sell after a month or two (or after the first pump)

if its something like SQQQ or VIIX, i hold it for less than a week (couple days tops)

>>14900927
Seeing hands indicates a wide variety of abilities

Yes, the mind control is related to these hands. But what Im talking about is the actual physical control of the hands. I dont need to control the hands to control someones mind but You do need to take control of the hand to actually move objects. They can in fact move objects and take things out of the rhelm

Is this legit?
I still can't into blockchain, but I've come across this site a number of times in the past several years, and I could use some more of that "passive income" or sidehustle shit.

I bet there are some lurkers here who make bank off of affiliate links or dropshipping or running porntubes, or something.

>>14901020
don't post that in here. go to one of the other threads. Steem has nothing to do with stocks

>>14900999
it's a hands-only deal apparently

>>14900883
do you always only see one hand at a time or a pair?
if only one hand, is it always left hand or always right hand (this is important)?
I don't want to summon a hand and then figure out what to do about it, especially if my mental fortitude is on the line. I want to get as much information as I can beforehand.

>>14901064
Yeah, but the rest of the board is dildos. You've heard of it, at least.

Also... considering it's a latenight weekend where we're literally talking about psychic powers...

Fine though, maybe I will ask about it elsewhere. Or just give up, since most things that sound too good to be true are. Though this only sounds mediocre at best...

What's gonna happen on the 24th after BA post report?

Doom 3 was aiight, but NuDoom...

Anyhow, Doom and Doom II is for the real Space Marines.

https://youtu.be/o778Cmp1eXo

>>14901064
I dont know if right or left, because of the paralyzing fear blinding me when it happens. It might be mixed random.

And I hate to break this to you but you probably arent going to able to summon a hand. Ive asked for many years on the paranormal forums and similar about the hands and only 1 person has ever said they saw the same. If you think you might have the Hand Gift I really recommend the wall stare, or far corner wall stare

>>14901151
nigga what? doom3 was the worst one there is

and i have too much nostalgia to objectively judge original doom, ive taken apart and built back up so many custom games with that engine, modded that game inside and out back in the day...

heres some Oats and Hall for ya:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u02tycroA30

>>14901217
Jeez.. is the intro to that song rally that long? Takes forever to get to the good parts.

Was Doom 3 really hated? I enjoyed it. To hell and back. Was pretty spooky I think.

You know what? I think I'm gonna play some New Vegas, and stop worrying about shit for the night.

>this is why I'll NEVER EVER make it

>>14901320
yea, cant use flashlight and gun at same time?
enemies magically spawn from empty lockers?
everything is a fucking bullet sponge?

Doom 3 is the reason id took a 12 year break from making doom games (here is recentish review of the remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuNN1D-FCjs#t=2m30s )

and here is some comfy musics

>>14901672
yea, doom3 wasnt bad per say, but it was the "bad" doom game (so far, but doom eternal looks like its doom2016++, so doom3 will probably continue being the worst doom for a few more years at least)

How is Disney stock looking with it's better than expected lion king opening and August earnings report coming

>>14901825
probably good, so many upsides to DIS

but August earnings could bomb it, all depends on earnings report (and guidance they give when the report is released)

but its probably a safe long hold unless some crazy black swan event happens

>SMACKED my 360 out of Red Ring of Death mode
Take that, time!

>>14901825
Did people like it? Discriminating local public radio reviewers we pretty harsh, but they tend to like highbrow, artsy stuff, and are sort of contrarian. But sometimes right. They liked Ant Man for some reason, I guess everyone likes Paul Rudd.

Just... don't buy in pretrading
Probably don't buy Monday at all. I considered buying more Friday, but am waiting to get back down to 139.

Everything I'm hearing seems to indicate consumer spending is good. Industrials are gonna get REKT but I bet people are spending on Disney, going to theme parks and buying toys.

I plan on holding it until I make enough increments of dividends to pay off my original purchase back when it was ~240.
According to my calculations, I'll break even when my great grandchild is 93 years old.

>>14902433
Why didn't we sell @ 290, bro?

Nvidia supposed to be very well placed for automated driving. Cramer seems to think the CEO Jensen Huang is the absolute shit (he also swears by Lisa Su of AMD) and that when the Mellanox deal closes it’ll be very good for them.

Seems like a good long hold that is getting fucked by trade tensions. Hope that China bends the knee. And maybe the Japan Korea trade issue is solved too.

I’d like to buy some if it ever comes in, but I’ve already got too many positions.

>>14902485
>Bought at $140 years ago
>Held it as it shot past $200 and back down again
It's a fun ride

>>14901103
Have you heard of the 737 Max?

I'll get some NVidia if we can get to 160 again, even better if we can get down to 150

I slept through sunrise so I will not be able to summon the hands today

is it time to short the s&p500??

>>14904214
no, but it is time to focus on yield and fundamentals
buy KNG and sit tight

>>14902504
I highly doubt automated driving will succeed

The human mind is a 11th dimensional commodity

Instead of focusing on optimization of silicon and software, we should be investing in crispr and gene edit of people

I disagree. Operating a car is a pretty simple operation. There's really three main inputs: the steering wheel, acceleration pedal and the brake pedal. All of those inputs can be treated as simple scalar values. The problem is going to be "ethics." Self-driving cars might end up being drivers than humans, but if they do cause an accident, for some reason it's worse that a machine caused it than if a human caused it.

>>14905271
from a top-level leadership point of view, they are trying to put all the bad stuff behind them so that the new CEO has a blank slate

the real story with their earnings is that their accounting department is stuffed full of diversity hires who can barely use excel. they aren't sinister, just completely incompetent.

You'd be a fan of Liz Warren's (Pocahontas') new bill, the "Stop Wall Street Looting Act"
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-private-equity-firms-are-like-vampires-proposes-curbs-on-wall-street-in-new-bill/
https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-baldwin-brown-pocan-jayapal-colleagues-unveil-bold-legislation-to-fundamentally-reform-the-private-equity-industry

from just looking at the summary, it doesn't seem too bad.
>The bill aims to hold private equity firms financially liable for the debts and pension obligations of the companies they acquire. It also would restrict the firms' ability to pay dividends as well as high fees that shift money out of acquired companies.

Of course the problem behind the bill is a creeping and insidious one: our government (on both sides, but especially democrats) desire and are working towards trying to legislate themselves into positions where they have more control over business. These kinds of bills, even if they are good on their own, are on the slippery slope towards far more controlling legislation like Warren's "Accountable Capitalism Act":

In other news, Hong Kong protests are getting pretty heated lately. CNBC reporting the crowd in this latest brouhaha numbered anywhere from 138,000 to 400,000 depending on who was doing the estimating.

>drank too much and told people about the Hands again
god dammit

I'm keeping tabs on TWLO until earnings. They have a superb balance sheet and I am really bullish long-term. I think we might see a MSFT type scenario play out: the usual dip before earnings, then a strong earnings report (note they generate a net loss, but paring that down will definitely appease investors).

As for continuing to play with options re: sector ETFs, I'm pretty much in the dark after Friday's late-afternoon plummet. This shit could go anywhere. I guess I'll close my XLRE put and hope to god everything starts recovering. Maybe throw a put on XLE if things start to normalize.

Planning on hedging my crypto and PM by allocating 10% of my portfolio to QQQ calls. Thoughts?

>>14907936

if you think QQQ calls can 'hedge' crypto and PM, you don't know what hedging is.

What the fuck is this?

Why? What about my application is prompting them to ask me literally for my fucking social security card. This is the second time I've tried.
Am I doing something wrong?

>>14907912
From what I understand REITs benefit if interest rates go down. I know the Boston Fed pres is on record saying he is not in favor of a cut: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/19/feds-rosengren-not-on-board-for-rate-cut-i-think-we-should-wait.html

If there is a cut (bond markets 100% expect one in July) it will be 25 pts and not 50. So best I can tell, the RE stocks/ETFs/REITs took that as a bearish sign and sold off heavily on Friday.

Yeah I heard a little bit of Rosengren on CNBC and also on the Marketplace podcast. Not sure why he hates the bulls so much.

Does he really have so much authority/insight, or is it algos, quants, and some investor FUD? Does Powell have to listen to these guys?

If any investor lost more than 100k and want to blame the company then they are retarded.. LCI has it clearly written out in their filings about the deal that caused the drop.. which by the way.. that Drug they lost they are now getting back..

From the Yahoo article:

>>According to the complaint, since 2013, Lannett's business strategy has been to collusively enter into industry-wide anti-competitive agreements with other generic drug manufacturers. Extensive regulatory investigations revealed that Lannett was involved in an industry-wide conspiracy to fix prices and allocate territories for the sale of at least 18 different generic medications... The complaint further alleges that Lannett insiders misrepresented the scope of their investigations into potential antitrust violations and the likelihood that Lannett would be implicated in the broader price-fixing procecutions.

Since, to my knowledge, LCI has never actually been convicted of price-fixing, the complaint is really begging the question at this point in time.

If someone post bullshit against a company that i am technically a part owner of.. then i'm going to defend it.

>>14908989
OK so I like EU IV better than CK2
BUT I think it's mostly preference

also because of the way that Paradox has monetized things, buying EUIV complete is an expensive mess, like >100 even on sale.
So I would suggest either just getting EU IV core (and some of the early, cheap expansions) and just playing that, or get EU III complete, which is a masterpiece in its own right

I play unmodded, but I'm a simple person who doesn't put in thousands of hours.

playing Russia, Spain, Britain are fun for me, I'm more of a casual than the 'true' EU IV players

correct I do live with my sister.. but i'm 28.. and own 2 properties consisting of 3 units.. and mind you I broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years 4 of which we lived with each other, shared bills including insurance, water, electric, gas... shared bank accounts........ but hey if you're you wouldn't understand anything about real life.. so you saying that you are 18 makes sense now... cause you sure do sound like a moron..

I get that posting shit to trigger someone gives you a good little feeling since you are so fucking decensitized by being molested by your uncle and neighbors your whole life that you NEED to feel something!!

Tell you what.. if you really wanna feel something do some jumping jacks for a good 30 minutes or until sweaty.. then... take off all your clothes and start doing summer saults and barrel rolls in freshly cut grass!! I promise you.. you will feel better

All they need to do now is pull themselves together and pay down their debt.
The revenue is there, even without significant growth they just need to regroup and they're in good shape

buy under 30 if you get the chance. you might, might not. It's not going to be a 90 dollar stock anytime soon, the point is a slow turnaround paying decent and increasing yields

>>14909198
I understand a lot about real life. And i've realized through these experiences that sometimes that broken down old burnout that's down on his luck deserves it.

How did you bros approach "getting the money for investing"?
Let's say you work in a job. Did you just separated a certain amount each month to save up for investments later on? Used any specific bank offers to get at least some interest to protect the money from inflation?
I'm all new to this, don't want to just rush in.

>>14909289
I have a full time job and got A's in all my summer classes. All memes aside, you don't have a fucking kid LCI, all you have to do in your pathetic life is try not to relapse or bang guys. That's your problems. And the reasons you suffer are because of you

I don't know what more i can really do but i'm the same guy from a few months back that used to troll you all the time and i told you my bf% was 17 and i was bulking up and getting ready to cut down and you just said i was a fat fuck coping. I legitimately love lifting weights and working out. The results are the best part. How often you go to the gym AIDsguy?

So I just did some math for fun, check this out guys.
Let's say you have 40,000 dollars to invest in QYLD. Let's assume QYLD never grows, retains the same dividend structure and levels, and that you re-invest those dividends entirely back into QYLD, and do it monthly. That's a 13.2% stacking increase each year.
In 5 years, you have 74348.62 (passive income $743 a month)
In 10, 156,434 (passive income $1564 a month)
In 15, 329,160 (passive income $3291 a month)
In 20, 692,604 (passive income $6926 a month)

If I had 40 grand I would do this immediately. Remember this is all assuming no increase in dividend percent or stock value.

I don't go to the gym.. the field i work in gives me plenty of exercise and then I just lift weights here and there and eat healthy... really not hard kid...

There is nothing hard about being me.. I love my life.. girls throw themselfs at me.. I have close to no bills.. I have a good income.. I love my job and my business... I love my life...

why you so salty? You think working out is going to make you more attractive? truth is.. every 30 year old has seen the type of person you are.. going to gym in their early 20s thinking they're gunna be bad ass in life only to be a fat loser by the time they're 30 because they focused so much on their body and not on their financial and social future... you probably spend so much time at the gym that you don't even have time for a girlfriend but then when you do get a girlfriend she is actually really turned off by you but you say.. oh no worries i'll find a better one.. and you go back to the gym and repeat the cycle..... anyone old than 25 has seen this cycle and some never get out of it..

I don't troll you everyday anymore because after you started getting super aggressive and pathetic about it (like right now) it wasn't really funny anymore. The only meme i have about you is the retarded investor one which is just funny as shit. I don't really know what else to tell you. If someone makes fun of you i jump in because you deserve it in my eyes.

It really isn't though.

Pendulum unlike you is actually a decent person though, not a low life scumbag.

you are not accounting for taxes
It makes a significant difference in the compounding.

I do advocate some allocation to a call-writing strategy, but I prefer KNG to QYLD (or a combination of QYLD and normal index funds)

if you could get 13.2% gains yearly without the tax burden like that, everyone would do it.
the fact is, the current tax structure means that it is WAY better to invest in index funds that grow the stock value (and you only have to pay long term cappy gains tax when you sell, vs having to pay short term cappy gains every year, but digging into your compounding at that time scale)

let me know if it makes sense my love

>>14909855
we'll see, i've got to look into it and see if i can budget it. gotta go in cherry blossom season which is like mid april i think

Some people have told me that if you want a good source of passive income to buy high yield dividend stocks. Is this true or a boomer meme? If it's true then which high yield dividend stocks would you recommend? Been looking at AbbVie: S&P 100 Pharma company, decent price, yield is at about 6%. Good buy for dividend income?

>>14909946
Bout $1,800-$2,000 round trip, and that's coach. Especially expensive during cherry blossom season. Then ofc you gotta budget for booze and food but that's all relatively inexpensive. Also do airb&b to save cash (hotels are pretty steep)

>>14909971
it's mostly a meme. EMH makes sure no one strategy is dominate. if you get into the weeds some dividend can be better for tax efficiency but that's a personal calculation.

>>14909971
get KNG
div kings + additional yield from selling calls (variable)

YIELD
and
GROWTH

>>14909993
that's not bad at all. if i'm going to be all the way out there might as well make a stop in hong kong and visit my buddy that moved out there a few years ago.

>>14909993
>>14910086
we need to find someone on 4chan who speaks nip and convince them to go with us

>>14909711
Really that depends on your total income, but even still, QYLD is a qualified dividend so it is taxed at long term capital gains rates, which will almost certainly be all of 15%, or a reducton of increase to 11.2% stacking instead of 13.2%. So yeah it will be slower but even at year 20 it won't be by much.

>>14909993
>>14910159
Shit, I'll actually be there in late May for a couple weeks. Nice time to go (less people and cheaper flights) but it's a bit past cherry blossom season.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1551030/000114420413063143/v360982_485apos.htm

all the sources I see say non-qualified. that being said, even as a non-qual it's an OK part of a portfolio

to be clear, I'm for a covered-call writing strategy (not with your allocation though, I would only endorse writing on up to 50% of underlying assets)
I only question it and respond to your posts about it because I'm playing devils advocate and I want people to understand some of the downsides of such a strategy.

>>14910251
>>14910209

>>14910028
So there's really no point in buying dividend stocks for passive income?

>>14910311

>>14910359
we're going to climb mount fuji and i'm going to post a picture on 4chan of my wiener from the top

>>14910346
KNG is like QYLD, PBP, etc. because it is a covered call ETF.

BUT there are some important difference.
QYLD writes calls on 100% of their underlying. This maximizes yield but limits gains.
KNG holds an underlying of dividend kings (already blue chip high divvy payers) and then writes call on those (but only like 20% of underling, not 100%) to achieve a higher yield while also maintaining growth.

you could do a similar strategy (for example) buy buying 35% QYLD 65% QQQ or 30% PBP 70% SPY, for example.

You can read the details here:
https://www.cboevest.com/etfs/

basically the point is to lower volatility and increase yields SIGNIFICANTLY while at the same time preserving most of the growth potential of the underlying.

I thought people were coming to vega's
Now it's Japan?
I really want to do that, but unlike baggie, I don't have a boomer's inheritance to blow on hiring sherpas.

>>14910286
>Not buying dividend stocks with DRiP when the yield curve has partially inverted, bond yields are lower than ever, and the fed is set to cut rates
MO has opportunities for growth with its partial ownership of Juul and Cronos

I'm going to be honest: I have no idea what you said. I'll read the details in the link tho. I'm basically just looking for something that's going to give me money for some passive income that I have to do very little thinking over.

>>14910461
If you're OK sacrificing growth for just yield, QYLD is better for you than KNG
but I would advise to be cautious for just trying to maximize passive income while disregarding other variables

>>14908980
Making fun of LCI is primarily to provoke smug dog pics and rage

>>14910346
passive income is massively over rated among amateur investors because of the dopamine rush people get when green numbers show up in their account. but ultimately, it doesn't matter that much whether you pull your money out through dividends or selling growth. again, there's some tax stuff you can play around with but unless your account is at least 6 figures it's probably not worth the trouble.

>>14910858
Just diversify, if you hold just those tickers, regardless of allocation it's pretty risky,
buy other stuff, buy index ETFs, etc
some of those don't pay dvvies at all

you need to accept that you don't have enough information to truly max yields or value

it's significant the whole time because of COMPOUNDING
like I said I'm not against the strategy, but you have to present it realistically.

Your GPA alone isn't enough to give you the power to decide which job you get when you enter the workforce.

You need to focus on networking and/or extracurriculars and/or internships to be in a position where you can choose a job you want.

I say this as someone who already has a good job that pays well. But I got it through some luck, a family member knew someone else's family member. You can't rely on that, you can't rely on just 'writing off' your tuition costs and having no job.
Please, PLEASE try and do something towards getting a job that you want that pays well as soon as possible.DOn't wait around for it, make it happen.

you have to either suck them off (establish subservience) or fuck them in the ass (establish dominance)
there is "basically" no other way
you could also choke them until they give in to you, but that's risky. probably in that case you will kill them accidentally and have to cut them open and wear their skin as a disguise

I'm not sure what you mean, like getting hired from Google or Amazon? I know some people who work there, but they're smart as fuck.

There are good reasons to care about your grades in university, you might as well give it your best unless you're killing yourself over it.

>>14911444
There's also no reason not to try to get to know your teachers a bit. They know students want to get letters of recommendation and connections and stuff, but it's part of life, and if you show an interest in them as a person or in the subject material they specialize in, they may take a liking to you, or you just might learn something, or a door you didn't know of might reveal itself.

>>14911748
i'm trying to think some situations in which i could approach a teacher and try to do what you're telling me.

so for example, at the end of the class, if there was something that i didn't fully understand, or something i'd want to know more about, could i approach the teacher and say something like

>excuse me, may i ask you a question? i would like to know more about X and i thought i could ask you

and then ask a question or that thing i want to know more about. i think this is a good way of approaching a teacher, even if it's still inside a class.

my concern is, what attitude should i have when the teacher's explaining something directly to me? should i try to be funny, or act fascinated by the subject? how can i get them to like me as a student?

also, does anyone have any experience with TOEFL tests?

I can't know without knowing the professor. You're going to have to go with your instincts on this, and see what works. Then maybe adjust.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. For the most part... be yourself. But be a version of yourself that cares about that professor and that subject.

>>14911956
also do i fake being interested? like, maybe i did understand a subject but maybe if i ask the teacher about it i learn something he/she didn't say at the class or makes me look that i have the initiative and that i'm interested in understanding everything

>>14911992
You don’t fake being interested. You try to become interested. You should be able to find something interesting about the subject material, or at least understand that the professor knows things you don’t about the field, the school’s program, life, etc, and become curious about what they know, especially about what interests them and what they want to tell you.

Especially Thursday is going to be off the fuckin hook, we have both GOOGL and AMZN announcing after the close.

I don't think this week is make or break for the market, but it will really set the tone for the rest of earnings season.
AND remember the FOMC meeting is the week after. So the markets right now are looking for any reason to throw a little tantrum to try and coax our main man Jerome to double cut.

I think that just about any modern protestant denomination is just as corrupt, misguided, and worldly as the modern catholic church.

We have to go back. Luther (or anyone else from the historical 'true' church) would be fully disappointed with the state of doctrine in the modern protestant and catholic churches. We have to reform the world in God's image
we have to save ourselves before we can save the world.

>>14913329
yea to a point, Luther didnt want to start a new church, just get catholics to stop doing shady shit

but everyone kept exculating things, and now we have hundreds (thousands) of different christian denominations

and America certainly hasnt helped the matter, but oh well, such is life

catholic church and various lutheran churches in europe are starting to work together more and cross-church dialogs, but the nature of protestantism is that each country has their own church, there is no worldwide lutheran church like there is for catholicism.....

just give it time (centuries), worst case scenario we (humanity) may end up joining up more once a significant external threat to the world comes along, and in the end the teachings and lessons are more important than the label we use to identify ourselves anyways

could be worse

howdy boys, i am young man who has recently come into about ~$2k and i was wondering what you guys would recommend for getting mild, but relatively safe returns. at the moment i want to put about half of it into LMT, but i'm not sure what to do with the rest, kss is a maybe for me (i like what they're doing with amazon) and pot stocks are interesting to me but i don't have any knowledge of the industry so im reluctant to buy anything before consulting people. what do you guys think/could you recommend some solid pot stocks?

I've been watching this for a while. A good friend of mine once commuted frequently between American cities for a good portion of 06-13. He said that after 07 he saw trucks rarely compared to later on, and now he said the amount of trucks in 17-18 has been astounding. Anyway, this is a headline I had just caught. Maybe it deserves its own thread. I thought everyone in /smg/ might like to know.

I've been casually keeping an eye on this lately. It's not a good sign of things to come.,

>>14913859

Regarding weed stocks, they're not going to meet your "mild but relatively safe returns" criteria. Only consistent thing about the weed sector is high volatility all over the place. Screaming bull runs and suicide drops back and forth. Funny enough, one of the best sort of related to weed stocks stock this year has been Scott's Miracle Grow with around 90% run up since the christmas eve of death 2018. Don't buy this stock now though. It's about to touch all time high and looks pretty iffy for upside continuation.

My suggestion is just go with an index ETF or two. S&P or Nasdaq 100 and the Dow. But not right now. There is trouble brewing. Market is not comfy,.

>yea to a point, Luther didnt want to start a new church, just get catholics to stop doing shady shit

That's not really true. If the Catholic Church had capitulated to Luther, it would have ceased to be the Catholic Church (and something a lot more like the Lurheran churches, coincidentally enough). When you say that Luther wanted to "just get catholics to stop doing shady shit," you're giving the impression that all Luther said was something like, "Hey, guys, we should really stop selling indulgences for money. That could be perceived as a conflict of interest!" Luther said a lot more than that. Read the Smalcald Articles for instance. In reality, Luther was objecting to core Catholic doctrine and practice that go back to the very earliest centuries of the Church. For Luther, everything was up for grabs, and any reconciliation would have been impossible because Luther made himself into his own super-pope. All his arguments were infallible and not open to correction because they were all just the clear teachings of sacred scripture. (Never mind those other Reformers who came to opposing positions from Luther, also claiming scriptural backing.)

I am down $2000 out of the $10,500 I put in since last year.

How to recover my 2k before the crash? Holding has done nothing but let me miss out on bull runs and then red daggers into my asshole where they stay buried to this day

>>14914110
Depends on your risk tolerance, current age and intended age of retirement, 401k and IRA balances, familial and financial obligations, and view of what will happen over the coming months and years.

I'd say putting a small amount in gold (5%) and silver (2.5%) is worthwhile, buy a bitcoin for the hell of it, and go primarily index funds with minimal fees. But some individual stocks are fun and some bonds could be a good idea. I don't fully understand the bond market, honestly.

So, you know. Buy dips and diversify. Index ETFs are easy diversification.

>>14914221
Holy shit, are you me?

I think we have to accept our losses and not chase.

>>14914221
>before the crash?

If you think it's going to crash, short it. Also there is no 'recover' and especially not on a set time line. Continue with trading strategy or identify the reason for your loss and determine how it may be avoided in future.

>>14914221
Buy as much LCI as you can afford. We are currently in the last three months of the accumulation stage. After that, we will slowly rise and rise. The. we will boom.

>>14914265

Productive questions to ask after you have taken a loss:

>why did the drop occur and was this loss reasonably avoidable?
>did I expose myself to too much risk?
>if so, how can I reduce the risk on any given future trade? (stop loss, hedge, reduce maximum allowable size of any single position)
>was my due diligence sufficient before entering the position?
>was my TA sound? (if TA was part of the decision) If not, what needs to change?

>>14914348

Be really careful about those companies. I mean go maximum autistic on your research. Plow through all the reported financials, do the best you can to background check the executives of the company. For the latter, if you see anything come up in a search about investors being pissed off about some former company of the CEO's, run away.

I think it's safer to buy crypto currency itself than invest in these blockchain outfits.

>>14914389

KSS has put such a hurt on my portfolio, I don't know. I'd stick with the easy/safe retail money in the companies that seem to be doing well right now, like Target Walmart and the Dollar stores.

LMT I like, I bought a share and want to buy more. I'm concerned though, because I don't understand the implications of the Turkey problem.

MO is honestly my favorite way to play pot, and might be a good way to play recessions too. It's not a "pure play" on cannabis, but it can still make a good deal of money while cannabis is waiting for legalization. And that could really take years. I'm also pretty heavy into CGC.
