Sneed

I wasted over 1k on dating an asian girl for half a year
make fun of me

SNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

>>22630790
you could have bought great stocks
I spent $100 on a dinner last night though, so what do I know

>>22630790
What is there to make fun of exactly? 1k in six months sounds par the course for dating a woman in current year

>>22630790
How do you even spend so much during a pandemic

>he doesn't execute his trades with an excel spreadsheet

>>22630790
>olive on pizza
Alright lay against the wall..

Haven't been on /smg/ in months, what's new?

Is it too late to jump onboard NVDA and SNE? They're making insane bank these days.

correction over r-right?

SPX 4k by Thanksgiving right?

>>22630814
yeah
I payed over 100 euros for a dinner aswell, she payed for the movies though...

>>22630819
well wasting 1k on a girl that turns out to be batshit crazy is pretty fucking dumb

>>22630830
I have a very secure job

BUY TSLA

>>22630830

>>22630770
gambling never pays

>>22630844
we have new some new people the past few weeks who are whining about things and reporting everyone.
stocks are down a little from all time highs.

>>22630876
well tell the story man
how crazy did she get
KODK crazy? NVAX crazy?

>>22630790

that would be 10h of sex with whores
I'm assuming you got more than that, however no variability

>>22630903
Nothin new under the sun, huh?

>>22630790
>1k
>half a year
Is that really how cheap it is? I was under the impression that 3DPD is pretty expensive

>>22630932
were you on a fun vacation

Long EV's, clean energy, vaccine stocks
short super overinflated megacaps that are 30% over their march prices for no particular reason (apple)

>>22630903
to make it short, I could see through her bs trying to manipulate me. she wanted to make me emotionally depended on her
blamed me for things that where way before we met etc
The only things she wanted to hear were "yes honey you're right", "Im sorry I will never do it again" and "I will do everything for you"

anyway I ended things and she kept stalking me for a while

>>22630960
Something like that lmao my account got btfo'd from covid and all that fun jazz. very sad, many such cases

>>22630967
yikes

>>22630952
It would've been way more if we had met more regularly
we lived 100km apart

rip trip guess im anon forever now. I'm guessing all the others died too

so how many covered calls yall on rn

>>22631004
how many hours of sex total? she sounds cheap, maybe you should renew the contract.

>>22630988
ah welcome back
were you still doing AMD buy-write at that time or were you holding something else

>>22630770
How much money do I need to live off dividend stocks? I have 21k USD right now

>>22631089
yep, panicked when AMD fell from 57 to like 38ish, since I was on margin of course. Went from my 8kish to around 3.5k, then had to withdraw some stuff coz emergency came up; promptly also got fired from job because covid. Been in QYLD since then rebuilding. My account's too low to go back in amd sadly, so I'll probably do some leaps on spy or whatever, especially since it's currently dipping.

I bought GME

>>22631120
1 million plus

>>22631160
I still prefer QQQX / SPXX / KNG (50%-80% buy-write) style ETFs to the 100% buy-write like QYLD

selling calls on all of the underlying, especially ATM or very close OTM calls, it means that there will always be some slow decay like you see in the long-term graph of QYLD. So you must reinvest a significant amount of the divvies just to stay afloat, or the position will decay over time (the yield and the share price). You can see this in the long term graph of QYLD. But if you're going to do that, why not just buy an ETF like QQQX, which overcomes the problem by only writing calls on some of the underlying? you achieve the same long-term goal in a more efficient overall package.
just IMO

>>22631120

>>22631160
get back into AMD ??? I'm thinking I might be selling on monday at a huge loss!?

>>22631229
Haven't heard of QQQX, but as far as the others, I remember reading the prospectus for all of them, including the one for QYLD; forgot what it was now of course, but at the time I remember qyld being superior to the others for some specific thing. I know there was a competing etf (I think it was proshares) that was also being shilled at around the same time i was shilling qyld, that was pretty much the same thing but less liquidity.
I like qyld for the passivity though, it really is just a buy and forget type thing that you know won't absolutely tank and has a nice monthly dividend. Now that I'm back up though, I do want to take a more active position away from etfs entirely.

>>22631268
I don't think I'll get back into AMD until I'm back into stability with my new job in a few months from now sadly, but I 100% look forward to putting capital in the hands of Su Bae once again.

when is GOOG going to stop being a piece of shit compared to the rest of FAAGTMANN?

Have about 10k in a couple ARK etfs, they obviously killed it this summer but should I rebalance now that the market is deflating?

i have over $200k in wkhs now. i should probably sell, but ARK keeps buying more and more even at $30..
what the fuck guys what to do i'm going bald

>>22631422
Assuming you use robinhood like the rest of us where it costs you nothing to rebalance, ideally, you should be rebalancing as often as you physically can.

At best REITs will give you ~10-12% returns via divs yearly. Non REITs are a bit lower. Like everything it’s risk v reward as real estate can be volatile and is at whims of externals.

SPG for example is high risk but could be a very interesting growth+div combo reit depending on how world events play out.

Possibly, would expect to crab until post-election though. Either market shit themselves or go up after the election. It all depends on a lot of factors really.

>>22631312
hm ok actually AMD might really be on a good way. I don't know why it's falling like this?... kinda bought the top

For miners? Pure Gold Mining begins pouring in December. Gold Mining Inc. might be a legit 10x if gold prices remain above 1900. They focused on buying properties "low" during the bear market and their board is composed of some of the best names in NA for precious metals.
As far as juniors go, my eyes are on Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp (WSTRF). That is of course a Uranium miner and that commodity more than gold or silver follows the market. I am waiting for a pullback before december before going in. They have a lot of their permitting done for some of their properties and could be producing in a span of a few months. My watchlist also includes Uranium Energy Corps (UEC) and Denison Mines (DNN)

>>22632386
Either that or there's another massive panic over something right around the election which causes us to hit March bottoms again.

I think I may have found my next great investment. I had alluded to this now time to share. They just launched water futures. We all know what that means for water....

There is a company called sphere 3d ticker ANY. Piece of shit stock. Except they are low-key completing a merger with a company called rainmaker worldwide

Rainmaker worldwide has fucking machines that cheaply (!!!) Extract clean drinking water from the air. They are deploying in hard hit countries and building a "water as a service" company. I'm pretty fucking bullish on this when word gets out. I've done nothing but win in the stock market.

Any anons actually invest in 2000 or 2008? How does the current bubble compare to then?

It's called a dehumidifier. Low tech: Collecting morning dew on huge plastic sheets. High tech: Phase change heat pump (air conditioner). It doesn't work anywhere that actually needs water enough to use a dehumidifier for water because the humidity in those areas is just too low.
There have been a few scam companies who pushed this shit over the years. You can make profit, but don't be deluded. Sell before the rug pull.

>>22632727
This crash brought a lot of new retail into the markets. I got "brought" in with 2009.
2009 was a time of dread and fear. The banks had been overly exposed and noone knew where the bottom was. The economy felt like a shitshow. The 2008 "crash" in hindsight took an entire year and there was a genuine wall of worry until well into 2010. TARP was daylight robbery of the american people but it turned the markets around. I don't think the economy recovered. The Fed also straight up lied about their plans and intent several times until 2013.
Much of the euphoria since April has been from Wall St. using their knowledge of that time. Which was that the Fed's actions, if nothing else, always help the stock market even if it comes at the cost of everything else. Infinite QE was launched so fast to prevent any real capitulation or fear and I think another serious correction would cause an outsized spike in fear since so much money has just piled into the stock market as THE only "haven left". But it won't be like March. It could even be something like a long slow bleed or sideways movement like in 2002-2005.
The rally in 2009+ was hated because it felt like it was decoupled from the economy completely (and it was). This rally since late April has even more reason to be hated.

Another parabolic tech stock like W, OSTK, etc. that still isn't profitable. I don't touch those because they feel overly like crowded momentum plays. And those will ALWAYS burn the last ones in extremely badly.
If they have a real pathway to profitability that isn't just the CEOs or analysts having to invent new industries and assume zero competition forever than maybe?

Trading volatility and gamma while trying to keep theta low.
Have to use jellyrolls and calendar spreads quite often

>>22632987
Based market maker anon. how do you screen for which underlying gives you the right amount of gamma/theta? what parameters do you look for?

>>22632997
We can see in our screens how much theta one thing is comma cost and how much gamma we will receive.
We recently installed a plugin that ranks options and opportunities on their gamma/theta ratio and see if it's an ok opportunity.
We don't care about Delta when we buy or sell something because we always delta hedge it.
If the move is big enough to cover the daily theta cost, we start gamma scalping when we think the profit is big enough to lock in by rehedging the deltas.
Also we adjust the volatility curve (skew) often during the day to adjust to the market.
Just see how many vol points we can get by using a trade and see if it's cheap or expensive vol.
Not gonna mention anything more though about our business practices.

Take solace in the fact that second generation+ Asian women immigrants are all garbage without exception. You can either pick one out at their home country or look specifically for first generation immigrants in your own country, but the majority of the Asians you come across are most likely second generations and will just make your existence miserable.

Unprofitable and not taking profits in order to reinvest them into accelerated growth are not the same thing. This seems to be a huge misconception in investing.

>>22632932
Boomer invest in companies with a good balance of growth and divvie.

>>22632928
>They also have technology to convert sea water and polluted water to drinking water they are actually doing big shit with little capital until now you should look into them before you dismiss
Be forewarned that companies like this have existed for decades now and the difficulties of desalinization (economic, practicality, scalability, etc.) are extremely easy to overlook and underestimate. Most of those companies have had to endlessly raise capital like biopenny stocks (and eventually go to zero). If you actually go through the literature on this, the most promising is waste heat from nuclear reactors looking at city wide water needs but even that has decades of work ahead of it.
And that is mostly because the power requirements are absurd to do this at scale and I don't think solar is going to cut it. Much of the work for like village or individual level have been focused on passive systems. Basically just more elaborate and efficient versions of tarps hung between trees.
It certainly has a lot of the trappings of a story stock to really dumb wall st. hedge funds. So that might be worth a swing but I wouldn't long it. I don't long anything without options chains or with a history of reverse splits.

>>22632928
None of that technology is new. The efficacy is bounded by physics. I just checked their marketing page and the 5kL unit requires 25kW of electricity continuous. That's about right for an environment with lots of humidity at a high temperature. Like the tropics. With grid power in a region with reasonably cheap energy (15¢/kWh), it comes to around 6¢/gal of water (which is not anything unusual) before final treatment costs. Oh by the way, you can't just use water from the air immediately because a lot of toxic shit gets concentrated. In an arid climate, the system won't produce even a third of its rated capacity. Physics. This is not new technology and the reason why it isn't everywhere is because it's not cost effective.

No it doesn’t pay a dividend so it doesn’t qualify as a boomer stock. The best FAGMAN stock for boomer investors is msft 100%. They just increased their dividend and they don’t go through crazy volatility that the others do.

Although there's a trend in timeline, none of it is planned out. Next crash could happen when the FED changes their mind and raises interest rates within 5 years (Don't believe the FED, they can always change their mind, unlikely short term).

>>22633745
Nonsense, we're all miserable people trying to make it. 4chan has recommended decent ideas: Bitcoin, ChainLink, WKHS, TQQQ....I look to 4chan for ideas on the weekends.

Also, buy Oshkosh and SHLL.

Dude just look around you. Unemployment has been skyrocketing. The divide between the top 1% and the bottom 99 is getting bigger and bigger. 95% of under 30’s are in massive amounts of debt with no job prospects. The dollar is tanking. Not to mention recent events where people are dying by the boatloads and economies around the world are starting to shun America. It’s fucking over.

>>22633885
This

>>22633863
>OSK will win because I say so
I'm telling you as someone who is much more in the weeds on this deal that they absolutely will not get more than 10%, and they are splitting the deal with F. It's not going to move.

>>22633787
Stop with this Oshkosh bullshit. They may get 10%. They don’t even have a fully running EV truck. Their shit is hybrid. Plus trump told lordstown he’s bringing them jobs and they pence went and unveiled a new truck for them. Wkhs already has working trucks. Wkhs will get the majority.

WKHS needs a good portion of the contract just to remain stable at 30+.

bro it's not even hybrid, karsan is the hybrid

>>22633060
Interesting. My software shows me that (obviously not at a very high level). Problem is, everytime I enter one of these trades I find my scalps are not enough to cover the decay - which was why I asked about it earlier. What am I doing wrong?

>>22633556
i don't need a short squeeze to be profitable, I'm already +30% up. I'll put stop losses after $15 or $20.

Are you the same fucking moron that said because a stocks price is volatile they won’t get the contract. Based purely on volatile price movement? Lmao

>>22633945
All 3 of the bids will receive some business, I'm telling you for a fact OSK/F will be getting a laughably small portion compared to WKHS and karsan. 33% is a retarded pipe dream

I've lost $60k, which is like 80% of my portfolio, and my last $20k is 200 Apple shares that I bought at an average of $100 each, right after split announcement.

How do I make it back? I've learned my lesson on not YOLOing weekly calls..

But if I sell my Apple shares and grab ITM LEAPs or something in hopes of a +30% run back up, I feel like I might be buying in the midst of a bear market.

I mean, it's been 3 fucking weeks since that huge NASDAQ crash and we've been going to lower lows. I see people around me making bank off puts and SQQQ but I just KNOW that the moment I buy puts the market will go sideways or rocket back up.

Should I just stop playing tech and grab June 2021 SPY ATM calls or something instead? Or do you guys think the election will bring more uncertainty?

I was thinking of grabbing VIX calls towards the end of October..

>>22633531
Are you me?

>>22634062
sell calls on your apples till they get called away and then reassess the situation

>>22634062
Why not sell weekly covered calls? Not exactly yolo money from 200 Apple shares but you could get 3-400 a week from them pretty easily.

>>22633887
Don't know about free fall. More like it was slowly stumbling from 2008. TARP was 100% a gift to Wall St. at the expense of everyone else. It removed a lot of the risk of actual bankruptcy from stupid and careless behavior thus derisking the stock market relative to any historic precedent.
The stock market moons because smart money knows the underlying economy has no safe havens yet. And this inflation in the markets is what has made the Fed think that somehow QE doesn't cause inflation. All of the anxiety about real estate costs, healthcare costs, childcare costs, education costs, etc. are all tied to what people actually pay and worry about. Rather than whatever carefully massaged inflation statistics the Fed is currently using.
The Fed has taken some weird stance where it thinks it can claim that it has not yet fallen into the bottomless pit of QE that has trapped Japan and much of the EU for decades simply because it hasn't taken the mostly symbolic step of negative nominal interest rates.
I think the endgame here is going to be a restructuring of the social contract to come around and give a "TARP" to the american public out of fear of ever more extreme (and dangerous) Bernies or Trumps. Wall St. will absolutely be pissed off because corporate socialism is always preferrable to them than social welfare. Regardless, the effect will be to bring the dollar to the historical mean value of all fiat currencies -zero.
The only assets that are going to be worth a damn are land and commodities. The truly rich will find new asset classes only they can access, like art or antiquities.

Speaking of covered calls.
What are ya guys favorite stocks to run the wheel on?
Also how many of you risky son of bitches are selling covered calls on wkhs? Not going to lie I’ve been considering it but keep telling myself to wait till contract.

I think we can still go down to 255-260 here or am I being too greedy?

>>22634152
I sold lots of covered calls on horse from june-july. I stopped in early August because I'm not getting cucked if we somehow shoot to 50, although these October calls are extremely tempting to sell. $3 for the 40c lmao

Is it possible to become a millionare by 40 at 30 years old...no money in debt 3k, a sex felon and no expierence in stuff or college or job skills?

Any reasons why I shouldn't buy PSQ January 2021 Calls?
Theta is -0.003 with intrinsic value exceeding strike - seems very hard to not gain over the next several months

I am convinced that the market is going to crash in the next 2 months - is there a better option to buy if this scenario were to play out?
[I don't think SQQQ / QID will work, as the leverage will wipe out gains during volatility]

>>22634242
You can play with options but it's more likely you will turn your 3k into 0.

Although QQQ Puts would have a lot more liquidity, if I could get some 0.05-0.10 contracts on PSQ I could go all-in and see 100-300% gain

I'll agree, all 3 seem in play. WKHS is up since Trump mention. Oshkosh has been staying still. I don't see USPS, an old aged entity going full EV. Karsan or Oshkosh will get bigger share of the pie.

Is there a page on investopedia that helps with calculating decay on options over a year? I bought 3 calls on KGC 2 weeks ago that expire on jan 2022. Currently in the green.

Lads, I received a 30k inheritance 2 years ago and its sat in my bank account getting like £1 a month in interest... I think it's time to invest. I've been holding off buying stock because of COVID and the incoming recessions, I looked at getting a tracker fund in the US market but it seemed the one firm I looked at only did UK tracker fund.

I'd like to put a deposit down for a house in 2ish years so would likely liquidate my fund then and buy a 'do-er upper' and increase my property for that tax free profit.

What do you guys recommend reading to get started in this world?

>>22634560
Yeah wasn’t a good time. And I’m seeing similar stuff in the us happening to just how it started over there

-road blocks to certain neighborhoods
-kids in HS or college are almost a militarized political arm of a political party
-pissed off broke people everywhere
-food lines forming
-urban vs rural split in the community
-rabid political divide that’s palpable
-BLM movement isn’t decentralized leaderless angry mob, nobody to negotiate with, no set goals or demands

It’s setting up very similar here. Lots of opportunities to get assets soon if stuff pops off a bit more.

So far even instability and a borderline war is down right comfy in the US though even compared to the “good life” under communist. My sis didn’t even get electricity until 1980 or so.

I healthily bought the dip, enough so that i have my leveraged tech in a good spot should the bullrun randomly continue. I will be keeping the rest of my cash on hand and wait for the actual crash now. Might meme around with some sqqq but im honestly more interested in the newest crop of ess em gee meme picks. I want more CLF WKHS and especially GME.

>>22634597
i hold 1500 GME shares and no calls, what makes you think i know greek

>>22634602
Just buy as much GME as you can afford

>>22633887

I wouldn’t even bother explaining anon. Most people here are from bum fuck Egypt (fly over states) and haven’t seen that real effect of unemployment. Moved out of LA 6 years ago, went back recently and JFC. Tent cities all along the freeway. Tweakers everywhere. Pretty sad people accept this as normal. It’s only getting worse.

>>22634633
Shit man, you guys have been through some stuff. How did you make it to the US?

>>22634602
Don't buy now - wait 2-3 months for the crash and then go in.
Especially because it sounds like you're a Britbong, and if your Brexit trade deals don't get resolved (which it's looking like it isn't) FTSE100 is going to dump even harder

You need to decide what kind of investor you want to be - based upon your lack of background you most likely want to be a value investor; I would recommend reading anything by Warren Buffett / watching interviews of his; look at the portfolio Berkshire holds and look at the stock selection to get an idea of what you're looking for

If you had the time to dedicate to a lot of research & watching markets only then would I go more aggressive into swing trades / options

At the moment the *massive global recession* hasn't been priced into markets yet. Extreme care recommended. Get set up with a broker, get your cash in there, get ready for the crash, and then buy cheap.

>>22634662
it hurts

now it's going to take weeks to get options enabled to my account because i never thought i'd touch it before, but i could have at least had it ready back then to at least buy LEAPs. i fucking hate myself.

>>22634757
Isn't the USPS contract priced in at this point? It's doubled in a month.

You're hedging bets that USPS, a entity known for being backwards is going to be leader of innovation in the Logistics industry....

WKHS will get some of the contract, for states like California...but the rest are going to the other bidders.

I was expecting a crash, in the UK we've had a scheme going where people have retained their non-existant jobs and that's coming to an end and we've just gone back into restrictions. My focus will be on the US market I think, the UK is no longer the powerhouse it used to be IMO and Boris J is not making friends in the EU.

I'll give value investor and these terms a read, and obviously Warren Buffet.

UK cases have risen but deaths are incredibly low, it seems they've moved from avoiding a strain on the NHS to no new cases. The herd immunity plan is out the window.

Funny thing is the gov were paying us to eat out at restauraunts last month to boost the economy by covering 50% off the tab and now young people are getting blamed for the increase in cases.

>>22634994

By undeveloped societies who had no concept of free trade agreements. If you're implying the UK will go to war over fishing rights, you're desperately grasping at straws in an attempt to disprove my point. Whereas if you're being facetious, I can appreciate the irony.

>>22634585
I have AUY and sold GOLD during the buffet pump. Mostly because I think the smaller producers have more upside now. BTG is on my watchlist. I think Silver will really get moving after the smaller gold miners have. AG is my exposure now because I think its being unfairly beat down when it refused to sell its silver in Q2. Which was the right decision, in hindsight.
>This is what I recommend if you want to get into miners. On down days they crab. On Green Day’s they move up 2%-3%.
I mean a lot of them are doing that. I am getting the same thing with KGC and EGO. LRTNF (Pure Gold) has also done that and I think it will really get going in December.
I mean everything except the small juniors is doing this. As a real bull market does, rather than just Tech companies in the stock market. You just have to not pick stupid things and you get carried upward with the rising seas. I also don't think the pump fake that the Fed did in 2013 will work again to cut the wind from its sails.
>>22634526

So, incredibly small chance of another lockdown then, correct? Pity, traffic was amazing during that time.

>>22634994
>"This happened back then in the good old days, which means it will happen now"

>>22633982
Maybe you're not using enough volume in options
Keep in mind we trade products with a combined value of over 1 billion USD every month alone and we're not one of the biggest in the market.

>>22634166
You are correct. It can still go down quite a lot. I think we won't find march lows, but we might reach all the way to at least 33% above march lows.

>>22635051
Half flippant half serious, plenty of first world nations still have an irrational cultural thing about fishing (Nordic countries, Japan, SK, SEA in general)

In 2000, everyone said the same thing.
>You need to look at revenue.
>Debt is good, they are just growing.
Most people don't understand that most of the debt isn't for growth. It actually is wasted on R&D, bloated administration, and operating expenses. A lot of tech companies that crashed in 2000, did so, because their debt outpaced their growth, and they lost control of it. Or they were just straight up scams. Same thing is happening now.

Can anyone give me a quick rundown on HOW you profit from trading stocks?
It all seems like an incredibly complicated ordeal that you also have to pay taxes + processing fees on.
How do you guys do it?

The idea is to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed before they're already overwhelmed, lock down is preventative

Hospitals in some hotspots in the US (places in Florida, NYC) were overwhelmed

>>22635414
most wagies make enough to cover monthly fees on a good platform. Then you just make plans on a stock that shows obvious signs of going up to sell it after it makes you enough money to still keep some, after paying taxes and fees.

It can't be that dumb, right? I though that there was much more to it.
>>22635547
So it's literally just guesswork or at least some educated guesswork. Say, there's a firm that I believe will launch an impressive product that will undoubtedly make their stock value go up by a few percent in the following months.
In order to make a profit, I simply need t o buy some stocks at their current low price, hold onto them for a bit, and then sell them when I'm sure that I'll get a nice profit margin that covers taxes + fees. I thought SMfags were smarter than cryptofags.
>>22635591
how do I make a profit if I don't sell?
>>22635632

that goes without saying.

>>22635817
>how do I make a profit if I don't sell?

You sell eventually but the point is not time to market. if you hold index funds for 10-15 years you are almost guaranteed profit but if you panic and sell at a loss your done.

>>22635867
These people are monkeys and cannot explain it to you.

You buy a percentage of a company, which corresponds to a percentage of their profit. Hold long enough and the profit pays your initial investment without ever selling. "dividends".

Exactly how rent from a property is essential its dividends. Selling is an additional, optional step.

Stocks are somewhat resistant to inflation, because inflated prices means inflated profit and also inflated stock.

Also, on average (based on historical data), your 10k should be 20k in 10 years. Not that bad.

In addition, any losses on one stock that you sell can be used to offset the tax on the stock that you profited from.

the only asian pick I'd bet on is TSM.

I started at the end of 2010 when I was 21, and it was fantastic for me, because I was new and starting from a real low point. Everyone was telling me that I was stupid for investing in Intel and Sirius (turns out SIRI was one of the best stock of the decade), but I thought they must be wrong, because we are in a low point that will recover. Turns out I was right, and 45 year olds didn't know as much as I thought they did. Now I am 31 and worth far more than most people my age and everybody I actually know except one person (she is one of the people in charge of distribution to Japan for Disney, so she is well compensated). I still don't talk about stocks though, I learned a long time ago not to talk about money with the average person, because they don't understand it, and it confuses and enrages them

I've asked this three times now and haven't gotten a response yet..
I feel like that's an indicator to go ahead.. if it was a bad play I feel like I would have been called a retard by now

sounds interesting. thanks, anon.

>100% profit in 10 years
I know /biz/ likes bullshiting people so I refuse to believe it unless you post proof

buying ATH has historically been a pretty good idea. it's counterintuitive but it's true.
this anon is right;

Indexes can average out 7% compounding. 1.07^10 my friend.

Of course it's not set in stone, and there will be data that varies. Just look at NASDAQ comp, you would actually have +335% in 10 years.

>>22636337
that's very useful info. Thanks, anon

100% in 10 years is pretty lame.

That's what people got holding safe bluechips like MSFT and TSM over 1-2 years even through March dip. And are these companies any worse off with corona? The opposite. TSM even gives out 2% div yields.

Then you have the crazy 10-baggers like Tupperware stock going +2000% within months, and even Overstock, and shit. Even anons here bought into WKHS when it was being shilled at $5, now where the fuck is it at? Just have the knowledge to filter through all the garbage, *AND* verify the fucking DD yourself, don't just bandwagon in. TSM was also an /smg/ favourite back in June, gave a solid +50% over a couple months and it's not even a risky play, heck it doesn't really give a shit about the current market dump and just stays glued around $80.

Next one is probably GME, but I'm skeptical on the CLF shilling. The NAK gamble is way too risky when GME is still currently low-risk / high-reward.

>>22635912
Yep. Marjet is not a good place for scruples.

>>22636311
It’s a good idea If you can keep wage cucking and dca at the same rate, that isn’t always possible, and it’s much more difficult as jobs dry up, like they are now.

The dca idea is great with a steady unwavering income but that simply isn’t possible. I start to dca when I see cape ratio get reasonable, and when we’re peaked or close I go cash and convert to other undervalued assets at that time.

Real estate was great to me from 2012 until now. I just cashed out and am waiting, I think commodities will be this next rounds horse to bed on. Tech is smelling like decay and the medicine needed to keep it alive (cheap money) won’t go on forever as people have wised up since the tarp robbery.

>>22636428
Yes you are right, 100% in 10 years is kinda lame.

Seeing as he is asking about the basics, he will most likely want to do as you said, hold safe bluechips for the long term and forget about it.

If you average out periods of stagnation with the booms, 100% is easily achievable for the "check back in 10 years" investor.

If you are actively looking for gems, you will be obviously chasing alpha, which also comes with higher beta.

blue chips can become the next IBM and Xerox, you never know

>>22630770

I'll be honest, I am a complete mong. Had a brief look at the Khan Academy and Investopedia links, and was immediately overwhelmed by not knowing exactly what I need to learn about, let alone learning about it.

Can anyone recommend an idiot-proof website or sources for investing/trading of any kind?

Got myself a nice little lump sum to do something with that isn't rotting in a (((savings account))).

>>22636520
That's a different topic about the importance of diversification. With a little DD, once you have made a decision there is really no need to keep checking every week.

>>22636520
>you never know
are you for fucking real? do your DD properly. A lot of shit in tech is basically forecasted for the next 3 years at least. Things don't happen overnight.

For example, you don't touch INTC because it may the next IBM because of their absolutely horrid roadmap and not even meeting their vague targets on it. But I wouldn't be worried about AMD even if it looks like it's massively ""overvalued"" right now (PEG ratio says otherwise and they're already positioned to dominate against Intel for another 3 years as more and more contracts expire with Intel not having 7nm ready for them as initially expected).

>>22636615
This anon gets it

We were getting protests world wide, this was to quell that and people bought it

>>22634396
Did you realize these gains, yet? Maybe take a couple $200,000 if you haven't, just for safety

Is it even worth selling tech calls that expire in 11/20 and 12/18 at a -90% loss or do I just fucking pray that tech somehow rebounds 10% in 1 month?

Buy all the indexes and forget about it. Unless you want to spend a few years and dedicate yourself to this, don't bother.

Trying to find the next Amazon is how people get shilled and burned to the ground. You will see one punter that gets lucky believing he knew it was coming, but chalks all his failures up to just "bad luck".

Selective bias.

>>22636680
thats not me, it's some reddit YOLO dude who people thought was crazy the entire time.
Turns out there's really no way for GME to go up but maybe slightly up because short sellers are retarded and shorted the entire float and anyone who's shorted the last year are all underwater.

Anyone holding GME shares/calls would be a fool to take profits now.
