Well, all the media did sperg out at the notion that orange man stupid because he would've made a shit ton more if he had just invested in S&P 500 what he inherited. And that's almost exactly what Buffett has been doing last 70 years.
But Trump instead went into some businesses, not all of which have been successful. Trump also went out of his home, traveled, fucked a shit ton of models and porn starts. He spent a shit ton to entertain himself. While Buffett sat at his home, ate at McDonald's and chatted with his friend - another smart investor whose great grandfather fought in the Black Hawk war and had got a shit ton of cheap land.
Buffett just recently sold his fucking newspapers. NEWSPAPERS. I wonder when he's going to realise alkalike batteries need to be spun off because they're dying to lithium batteries. He has enough money to keep himself alive to that point, I think. If he's willing to spend it, of course.

Well, sure, if your dream lifestyle is being a NEET, then Buffett is a great role model. Buy KO, BAC, AT&T, XOM and some other high quality dividend yields at these low prices (which could get even lower) and enjoy a rather comfortable lifestyle in 10-15 years.
At the same time Trump is a typical Chad role model. Have a shit ton of money, get credits from banks to fund it and your luxurious lifestyle, don't really do anything exceptionally, travel, fuck models, eat expensive shit, become a President for fun. It takes a lot of energy to do and you would probably have to go outside to do most of those things. It is really just a matter of choice (and more importantly having a rich lineage, of course).

as the option goes further in the money, the IV becomes a smaller proportion of the options' total value
further out of the money = IV matters a lot more. This part of the reason why people can make such ridiculous gains with options; if you buy reasonably OTM puts on something really steady and it suddenly craters and the IV goes supermassive, the option value blows up in two different ways at once.

so for your option, you do really need SPY to go down. You probably won't achieve the same VIX levels as where you bought the option, but you can still make some money off it if that doesn't happen. Or not, if we just crab to the right.

do spreads to avoid IV crush
the cost of options are huge rn, which can be offset by spreads
as such, the break even point will be lower, and the impact of IV is less valuable
also potentially look at box spreads, which is an arbitrage strategy that can have very minimal margins and also next to 0 risk (unless you're a retard, but thats all of options imo)

I scalp moving averages for a living using moving averages and i still have no idea why you would get into options instead of just going long or short on the underlying securities. I don't need to worry about premiums or theta decay or any other weird shit, i just know what the trend is and therefore where the areas of value to enter at are (you use 3 EMA's and you buy or sell the middle one depending on where the other 2 are).

Keep tabs on high-yielding stocks which have (or will) cut their dividends during this crisis, then dca into them until we reach the bottom. Make sure to pick stocks that are likely to survive the crisis, stay away from travel / transportation / infrastructure.

Let's say there's a company with a January 2020 stock value of 100$, a dividend of 5$ and a fair value of +-70$. They are currently under pressure and their stock has dropped to 80$ but they still pay their dividend. As pressure mounts in the coming 2-4 months, they eventually cut their dividend to near 0 and the stock dips below 60$. Now you start buying a bit every week. Eventually, when the crisis is over, you have a sizable pile of their stock with an average cost of 50$ or so. Within 3-5 years, they may get their dividend back to previous levels, which means you now have a solid stock position with a dividend yield of 10% and very low risk.

Aside from just buying ETFs this is probably the best approach for retail investors who have little experience. Don't get into puts and calls even though it's tempting, you'll get absolutely fucked as a beginner.

otherwise, if it loses value, I can sell the contract early for a loss or let the contract expire

That's completely false. Yes it's easy to make more money when you have a lot of money IF you know what you're doing, but at the same time nobody can deny the fact that Trump has a certain charm to him as a businessman. If you were to give out $10m each to 100 americans as a test, I can promise you that a vast majority would just spend it religiously without even thinking twice about how they can build more wealth on-top of those millions to ensure a wealthier future. The best investment they would do is probably buy a house for a million or two because everyone wants a nice house if they had the money for it... but that's about it.

well "good" is just an opinion, especially right now when no one knows what is going on.
there is ILF, there is nothing wrong with buying ILF here, but you have to consider if it is really the BEST thing that you want to buy, especially if you have to take fees into account.
You could do something like buying every 2-3 months instead of every month to limit the effect that fees has on you.
I wouldn't mind buying some ILF at these prices, but I personally wouldn't put so much of my money into it. Maybe 25% or so at the most.

Also you will have to consider if there is any special tax ramifications for you for overseas investments, that kind of thing

Okay, follow my reasoning:

The stock market is like a big water tank with two pipes, one in and one out. The 'in' is the flow of money being invested, and the out is the flow of money being withdrawn. If the amount going in is greater than the amount going out, the indexes will rise (on average; I know it's made up of many individual companies etc.). If the amount going out is greater, they will fall.

While we like to think about what retail traders are doing (because that's what we are, mostly), the main inflows are actually coming from institutions like big banks and pension funds. The main outflows are, again, big banks and pension funds. Specifically, inflows from retirement fund and pension contributions, outflows from pension payments and retirement fund withdrawals.

During this crisis, the inflows are likely to be greatly curtailed as people go without work, while the outflows will mostly remain. So no matter how much you want to "buy the dip," and no matter how sound that advice is, the scale of the effect is dwarfed by the gap in inflows.

Am I wrong? Am I stupid? I'm not basing this on anything I read, just kind of spitballing.

you have to remember that there has just been a large outflow over the past month or so

you have to remember that there are multiple different "tanks": different stock markets, different bond markets, real estate markets, etc.

also understand that price can move a lot on low volume or a small amount on high volume.

you aren't wrong or stupid, that is a good way to look at the market at first. But to get a real picture of things that you can utilize, you need to add about 8 layers of complexity. If you oversimplify things, it's only good for explaining them to normal people, not good for actually using the model.

Finally a point no one is making.

Stock market is only about sentiment in the short term.

The worst point stocks will get down to is right when they start becoming level with fixed income, which for the US is still a loooong way down.

Yeah, but you're also looking at the demographic of people that are playing the lottery. That's pretty myopic. You're also looking exclusively at the winners, which has an even shittier resolution. The reality is most people would spend exorbitant amounts and eventually stop, having come to a point where they lose the novelty of spending, and buying. This could even be said of 1m, or 500k.

10m is too much of a cushion, there's enough risk mitigation built into the scale of such wealth that it wouldn't pose a threat if you failed time and time again in your attempted ventures. 50k shows some real merit, you could immediately lose 10% in a bad bet over the span of a single day.

it's honestly not surprising, all of us should be well aware of how psychologically demanding investing is. it's near impossible for most people to get over the mental hurdle of "risk" and that you can lose money. i forget what the technical term in psychology is for this, but basically people would rather be given $50 instead of given $100 and have $50 taken away. even though both people end up with $50 it feels really bad to lose that $50 from the $100 even though it's still profit. it's legitimately a really hard thing to overcome, took me a whole year when i started. doing a lot of backtesting and paper trading helps a ton in building confidence.

it helps more if you use smaller amounts and explain risk ratios to people. like scalping $20 bets with 1:1 risk:reward ratios, it's just like yeah if im right i get $20 if im wrong i lose $20 and then you just explain that you just need a >50% win rate to be profitable. 60% works well because you explain in 10 trades you win 6 and lose 4 so you come out with 2 trades worth of profit. then you multiply that by 1000 times to see how much you'd make over time. stuff like that can be easier to understand in my experience because it's all about the risk vs. reward. you can also explain how casinos work and how they make money because it's basically the same thing except we can have way better than say a 1-2% "edge" (so like 52/48).

Yes, they had their merger yesterday and I think the merge with UTX shaked traders a little as it's trading lower. RTN sank to $116 the day before when it was ~145 a day or two before. Both are large defense based, but UTX owned Pratt & Wittney so this merge made them grow into a top players for aerospace along with BA (which shit the bed recently), and Honeywell. Both have divvy. Annoyed at the current sink in price with Raytheon and wish I waited, but hey can't be perfect and just have to hodl until aerospace demand rises. LMT owns sikorsky and many other sectors. There's also teledyne for IT related or aerojet for rocketry. Just diversify or look into what deals they are contracting for. If you have TDA you can sort stocks by category and they have defense with a big list.

Red monday confirmed. A lot of investors got bullish when there was "plateau-ing" cases in the states, but this was only due to lack of testing. Testing has now been increased a little bit and that is seen in the numbers during the past 3-5 days. Now the rate is accelerating again.

New York yesterday: +10,423 cases
New York today: +10,228 but there is still about 8-10 hours of time to report cases for this day.

I made some math based on all state partial data today and compared it to history and my estimate is that today we will reach approximately 40450 new cases in one day in the states. Death data has too much of variation to make much predictions, but say we will reach about 1700 deaths.

Not only this number will surprise many, but it will turn the log-scale case curve back to the same linear direction it has been making before testing bottleneck became serious ~a week ago.

What this means to investors is: Whether current restriction measures have an effect or no, this is not yet statistically significant in the overall case development. Thus, plateauing time is completely undefined and thus is lockdown time. Conclusion: Sell

so question about leveraged etfs, particularly SPXL. I'm not thinking about investing now in one, and in general most of my investing has been in non-leveraged etfs (boring passive investment), I only recently set aside a small amount of money for picking individual stocks during this dip (and I'm sure a bigger dip is coming).

But in the grand scheme of things, even with the amplified erosion effect of leveraged etfs and daily leverage resets, it seems that leveraged bull ETFs are a net win. If, on average, the s&p is guaranteed to go up - why NOT use a leveraged etf based on it?

I backtested the average rate of return from 2010-2017 (I think we can all say this was a solid bull run). SPY had an annual average return of 11% for this period, meanwhile SPXL returned 32%. Now of course there's more risk on the downside too, and if you need the money soon you'd be fucked if the S&P dips, but if you're young and just accumulating wealth for retirement it seems like it's a solid choice. It seems like the bull runs are getting longer.

Maybe I'm completely wrong about this and need to backtest for longer ranges.

If you define risk as financial insolvency of a company and their equity, yes. You could apply that to only investing in stocks. But if your definition of risk is maximum drawdown, then the only way to diversify is assets with negative or low correlation to each other. Banks use 10:1 leverage at the minimum, if they were more than a certain % exposed to the stock market they would become insolvent to event such as this one. DB was using as high as 30:1 leverage last I heard.

Chances are you get fucked by decay, most moves during that time were .3%, now they are +/- 5% you invest in those during a solid bull run with a real plan to get out. They also have no underlying asset value so to speak, they aren't like spy where it will go back to 320 eventually, they only use percent. So decay will destroy you in volatile times. Do not HODL them because we have no idea what the future holds, we could have a year or two long bear market where you get fucked. If you do not time the bottom perfectly with these, you can lose money. Look for growth stocks instead if you want fast growth. But always keep a large percentage of your portfolio in nice safe bluechips and divvys so if you fuck up with your stock picks you are never ruined.

>I've tried that, typical response is "that's just gambling haha".

it IS gambling. the key is that if you know what you're doing, you can put the odds INSANELY in your favor. ask him if he would want to own a casino, not be a player but actually be the house. "the house always wins", as it were. and casinos only get like a 1-2% edge usually. you can have a way way better edge than that. successful traders are usually in the 60-80% ballpark, and even people with a 40% winrate can be successfully profitable if the odds are 1:2 or better.

the reason you trade instead of going to las vegas is the odds and win rate you can achieve. also if you play in las vegas and you're successful they'll literally ban you from playing, but the markets can't do that. it pisses me off how illiterate most people are in regards to the field of probability & statistics.

it's not about 1 trade it's about like 10 or 50 trades and where you wind up when you subtract the losses from the wins. this concept is lost on most people unfortunately. if you had a trading method where when you lost you lost 1, but when you won you won 10, you could literally lose 9 trades in a row but you get that 1 win and wallah you're profitable. you get 2 wins in a row and now all of a sudden you have to lose 20 times to get back to break even. you only need better than a 10% win rate in this case to be profitable. it's why there is the saying in trading "you don't have to be right, you just have to be profitable". you also need enough capital to keep yourself solvent during losing streaks, but all of this ultimately falls under risk management which is the only thing that matters once you decide where you're going to enter.

the thing about trading is that there is no upper limit, it's scalable. if it works with 10 shares it probably works with 100 shares or 1,000 shares or potentially even 10,000 shares depending on how much daily volume a stock has. the more money you have the more money you can make as long as the odds and win rate remain consistent. so a trade that at one point makes you only $10 can make you $100 or $1000 doing the same exact thing with larger position sizes. of course you can also lose more but that's why risk ratios are so important.

Lazy Saturday ramblings:
I'm a younger investor excited to 'buy the dip' and hopefully enjoy a better than average retirement.
It's tough to say for certainty what is next. The effects of slowing the economy are brutal. This year's vacation and wedding season, along with many other industries, has disappeared, destroying those who depend on the money.
Those with children must forgo their jobs in order to care for their kids. The lower and middle class are crushed.
For those with the ability to work from home, and the upper-middle class, I see a lot of potential and possibility.
It's always darkest before the light. Predictions say covid may peak in 2-4 weeks. We're social creatures set in our ways. Come August, people will start forward again to build back what was set aside.
Things will get better.
Couple that with cheap oil, resilient restaurants delivering, the ability to order online with cheap/free shipping - the economy is not dead.
$2,000,000,000,000 has been allocated to help business. The Fed is playing unbelievable games.
One half of me says we saw the bottom. Smart businesses and individuals who were dumb enough to not have cash on hand as an emergency loan, could float the next few months with a small, cheap loan.
The other half reminds we we're less than halfway through this ordeal.

>seems like the smarter move would be to wait until we get a vaccine or powerful antiviral
Israel said they're already in the works of creating a powerful antiviral against the coronavirus and could be finished by September.

>that's when you start DCA'ing in if you're of the boomer buy and hold long term mindset.
It's not a boomer thing, it's the normal thing to do on this crab market, especially when we're not going on a general downtrend. We're crabbing but nobody seems to be selling their positions, it looks like.

You are probably better off buying and selling options on SPY than playing with leveraged etfs
