They don't have any helium th eir baloons, which look like used condoms if they were dry. How are high schoolers supposed to distrupt class during their sweet 16s when they don't have those stupidly oversized baloons to annoy everyone with?

>>51118826
No chang. Not gonna happen.
Go eat some egg rolls.

JPow had been tossing and turning. He hears what people say behind his back.
"He's no Volker"
"He doesn't have what it takes to be a great Fed chair"
You could see his stuttering discomfort in previous FOMC meetings, the anger slowly building up. He felt powerless while mumu and reporters alike mocked him.
That changed today. He had a confident stride and was fully poised to what it takes. Even raising black unemployment if needed. 10%? Rookie numbers.
"I could set a new world record", he thought.
The market bends to Jerome H. Powell's will, and no one else's. We are blessed to witness this momentous occasion today.

>>51118758
So if the fed raises rates and causes a housing crisis, do you then wait for inflation and rates to come down before buying a house? Feels like you wanna wait a little bit after the crash

I'm tired of losing money at the stock market.

My ugly wife has threatened to leave me after having my first homosexual experience.

This is it losers, I might actually sell everything and walk away from trading forever.

What's everyone's favorite options play? I've just starting learning options and am wondering if there's one strategy in particular I should carefully consider.

>they think Brandon will let his midterms stock market crash
You guys really can’t time the market can you? Today was a buying day. And betting against china
>SIGA is over and the fbi got nothing of value

SIGA Niggas, is it time to get back in? Are cases going to start puming again with the start of the school year? Is Brasil enough to carry?

Start up anon, you do realize that other Miko poster wasn't me right? Do you think I would ever attach my beautiful wife to a shit stock like ASMB? Also I would obviously delete my channel of I was in any serious level of business with you. Any evidence left over? It was photoshopped. If they pursue further, I'm Jewish and they are being alt right white supremacists Nazi's trying to troll me. Normalfags are stupid and gullible. They'll believe anything in you tell them.

Party City is hiring 20k workers, expanding, paying off debt, beat revenue by 66% and a p/e of 2, and an online store gaining much traction.
Soon as we bounce off the support, its off to the races.

>>51118893
Buy rope first. So at least you’ll have something to end your suffering when the rest is gone. After that just ignore options and hold leveraged etfs because you won’t time the market buckaroo

>>51118857
Housing is a lagging indicator because home prices are priced on moving averages. You're really looking at unemployment rate and the fed rate. Once the fed stops hiking and employment stalls thats when you buy.

>>51118911

Lol

why'd it dump so hard today
was it the fed or biden that fucked it up

im feeling haggard bros, as though the life force has been siphoned out of me. i dont even have the energy to shitpost anymore, i can feel my corporeal essence withering with each passing moment. i dont know if i will be able to go on much longer.

>>51118932
Its a combination of Fed procrastination until today, Biden going crazy on spending, and Powell dropping the hammer, so I'm just gonna go ahead and say it was the Jews since it usually leads back to them.

>>51118912
You can't honestly believe every options strategy leads to ruin. What about selling cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy?

>>51118904
The dump on Thursday was low volume and no news. Dump on no news is work of the jews. Dump on Friday is from the Jackhole speech. Monday will open and continue dumping. By 10am we will see a rebound. This is going to $30 by September 15th, 50-100 by December. Buy Monday, because you will never see these prices again. Do not bet against jews and gay sex.

So what happened today? Did people really think rates weren't going to continue to rise? What wasn't priced into today?

>>51118861
>My ugly wife has threatened to leave me after having my first homosexual experience.

>>51118945
Hang on just little longer, shitpost just a little more, I believe in you

>>51118968
2 last quarters were nothing. Layoffs only started recently, we can expect slowdown in the economy and people becoming more defensive when it comes to spending. Check stats from Fed, people are our of savings (savings rate at 5%) and credit card accounts are opened at increasing rate. If you check quarterly reports from discount retailers, they mention interesting things too.

> scared money
Good luck, sounds like you're gambling.

>>51118968
there are no holidays, just evil fucks spreading lies for profit and human suffering

>>51118863
Idk probably a lot but Oprah did it

one last shitpost then...it was...it was the...jews. ACK

>>51118911
they also hired 20k workers for the 2020 season - I too thought that headline was bullish, but it's their typical move
they have almost $2 billion in debt to pay off
their free cash flow is ass
the short float is only 10% with last I looked 0.5 days to cover
at first glance it is enticing, but when you dig deeper I don't know if there is anything there
there is no way they get out the hole they are in without a big cash injection either through even more debt, or by diluting shareholders even more
if the share price runs up, they will dilute (again)
it is possible, and the risk / reward is such that you could gain 4x and lose 1x, so it's not awful, but there is so much stacked against it, that one decent Halloween season isn't going to save it
It also has the double edged sword of meme stock, where if AMC/GME/BBBY have a bad day they'll drag it down - or because of PRTY low share price, and irrational belief in this Halloween season being crazy for parties / costumes / party city causes a meme stock frenzy for it
I think it is a trap - a get rich quick trap

For me the solution is cocktails. If I'm feeling abosolutely flattened after work I just have a few of the sweet and strong and I'm good for hours of shitposting and gaming.

>>51118893
Naked puts on stocks you want to buy. The stocks you want to buy are value stocks (especially those that reliably pay good dividends), as well as hedging ETFs (eg HDGE, COMT, TAIL, SARK, UUP, VIX, and VIXM). If you are using margin, I would strongly advise to devote about half of your buying power in those hedging etfs.

Ideally sell those puts about 1-2 months out, and at 1 standard deviation out of the money (naked puts on the hedging ETFs are better at about 1-2 years out, and at at the money).

Don't buy options (they are sucker's bet) except when you want to get into speculative stocks (eg you have reason to think a stock is going to pump and would like to buy a call instead of paying all that money for the stock). Or if you want to hedge buy buying puts (said puts should be at least 1 year out to minimize money loss through theta decay).

Basically treat options as a way to get paid to buy and sell stocks you would like to own anyway long term.

Will the market continue to shit on Monday? Should I get up bright and early and load up on SQQQ?

I love losing money.

>>51118912
Leveraged ETFs are worse than options for the exact same reason you think options are bad. That is, you can get screwed from leverage when the market turns even slightly against you.

A cash secured put is no riskier than buying a stock in a cash account. Naked puts on margin are only riskier to the extent that they are leveraged. Which is why knowing how to hedge and diversifying into uncorrelated assets is an absolute must for margin investors.

>>51118955
>What about selling cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy?
This is unironically they best strategy, especially for people new to options. You get paid to buy the dip.

Even academic studies show that the best option traders are long term investors.

Selling puts only gets really dangerous when you use margin, but that is true for any investment. Margin requirements on Reg T are more lax on naked puts than on stocks (5x leverage vs 2x for stocks), so that may be where they gain their risky reputation (same with futures, as SPAN margin can get you 20x leverage)

Possibly, there is increasing uncertainty in the markets, and people want out. Meaning increase selling pressure driving equities downward.

Personally, I would load up on VIXM, SARK, and HDGE. They are much better to hold long term.

>Just buy T-Bills every 6-9 months, bro. Or a long-term dividend stock.
DIVO, JEPI, and SCHD are good choices if you want serious yield with lower volatility. A 50k portfolio could net you $400/month in passive income (assuming no leverage is use), with the potential that that dividend would increase as time goes on due to dividend growth.

T-bills are basically like putting money in a savings account and hoping you can get by on the interest. They are the safest investment, but the interest is just too low for any serious investing

>>51119267
yeah but how much was the food marked up? Thats the only way they actually make any money.
>food at store: 10$
>same item on ubershits: 15$

Speaking or leverage/margin, what the fuck is wrong with Fidelity? What the fuck is this margin rate?

>>51119296
>using Fidelity for margin
you are doing it wrong, Fidelity is for buy&hold or light swing trading

You must be retarded if you are holding any Google stock.

>>51119201
No buy until they've got plastic fifths both on the shelves and in the gutters outside.

>>51119296
Everyone except IBKR and maybe Robin Hood are total kikes about their margin rates.

There isn't reason to charge 10% interest on a secured loan that you can immediately liquidate at will for cash (ie its basically riskless for the broker)

That said, if you sell naked puts on margin, you don't pay any interest (since you don't actually borrow money to buy anything). Naked puts are basically covered calls, so selling them on margin is probably one of the best strategies if you want to use leverage to gain passive income

>>51118758
Frens, I have to know; will we really be going into a recession or will we actually be heading into the 2nd Great Depression? I saw some anon on pol talk about it posting these videos there and he's kinda right, more and more people have been talking about that being a possibility lately.

Hello sir

>>51119329
TD Ameritrade is almost as bad, even though its think or swim platform is geared towards active option traders.

As I said before, you should be selling naked puts on margin. There is almost no reason to be paying interest for your leverage. Heck, SPAN margin on futures does not charge any interest (for the same reason as naked puts, you are not borrowing actual money for the position)

>>51119122
Just go up to 3 and ill be happy.

Just the thought of plastic fifths reminds me of the stench of Rubinoff Blue Raspberry.

It gave me a hangover immediately after consumption. Fucker didn't even wait for the morning after.

Why the fuck did BBBY pump today, it's literally my only red short. Is it just the lawsuit news? Don't people realize that is bearish?

Does anyone else go out to restaurants alone, hoping that someone will see you eating by yourself, looking sad and pathetic, and maybe say hi or if they're a cute girl even become your gf? Today I went to SHAK, it was pretty good. I'm not going to invest though

>>51119367
>will we really be going into a recession
yeah
>or will we actually be heading into the 2nd Great Depression?
no they would bail it out if that happened

EVERYTHING in the market right now is dependent on the Fed, and Congress (for fiscal spending). If there is genuinely catastrophic unemployment... they can just pivot. The thing is, there is NOT catastrophic or even concerning unemployment right now so bobos are delusional if they think a pivot is going to happen imminently. Even a mild recession probably wouldn't be enough. I personally think Powell will keep raising rates until the gov can't pay (lagging inflation such that the debt/GDP continues to fall during the hikes), and at that point Congress will step in with price controls.

Strangles, straddles and iron condors for low delta to delta neutral plays. Verticals/backspreads for directional plays.

They are all just a combination of short options for premium and long options for risk/margin control. I think verticals are the easiest for new people to get their heads around as it's a directional play with defined risk and closest to what they are used to doing.

>>51119503
It's actually DOJ against any outsider vs insider. Republican and Democrat are on the same team in private.

>Bipartisan foreign policy
They pretty much don't actually differ until election time for the crowds or to deflect blame to sweep failed policy under the rug. Dem networks run Iraq war architects as heroes to rant on trump

Somehow trump just was able to pierce through the normal layers that destroy non insider candidates, maybe because jeb and Hillary are such bad politicians and dislikable

ok tell me who the good democrats are. I'll wait.

I'm willing to bet money that Jerome and Biden had a verbal agreement to go easy on rate hikes if the government would stop exacerbating inflation. Then Biden and the dems broke the agreement by going full ham on spending in preparation for the midterms, making Jpow dial up the hawkishness to 11.

I legitimately think inflation has changed the meta with respect to stimmies. Those debtmaxxed middle class folks rolling up to the food banks in their leased BMWs were probably in favor of unlimited brrworks before, but probably aren't now they realized how much inflation it creates (ie - they maxxed out their credit card again when they got a raise and then surprise pikachu'd when store prices went up right after). I see this midterm season as being primarily men vs women with women voting D purely on abortion while men vote R seeing blueteam does to the economy. Stimmies, if they happen, will be indirect such as this student denbt cancellation that's supposedly going to happen, and given many probably weren't paying anything this at best would maintain the status quo.

>>51119827
>>51119875
I did. There's one in the shopping mall in the town I live in. Town is mostly old white people with an average house cost of 1.3 million. Admitedly that mall is way overdeveloped and the city is clearly desperate for businesses to fill the larger spaced. I went in the afternoon, which should be "prime" shopping time, but it looked like they just their restock shipment in recently. Who knows how long these pallets have been here full of stuff for. There were only 2, maybe 3 people working the entire floor the whole time I was there.

Thinking of getting a loan.....

>>51120047
I got an internship after the first call and it wasn't bad at all. Usually that just means there were no other applicants for that role or they are super desperate. Ask for more money.

>>51120027
I also remind everyone that Party City owns Amscan, which is the largest wholesale producer and distributor of party goods in the world.

This is to say if you're buying party supplies literally anywhere, even if it's not directly from a Party City store, you're likely still buying an Amscan product.

>>51120144
I guess, but he didn't specify.

>>51118802
It will get up to 3 or by EOY. It's what these shitty retail companies do.

Bro, look at party cities website for exclusive animatronics. What a great selection or fun props only found at Party City

I am so fucken depressed I think I’ll just go all in 1 day options and then hang myself.

is the party city shill the same as the OSTK shill?

>>51120158
I doubt he would be asking if it was for a 6 figure job.
>>51120181
today would have been a great day for that.

i'd go check it out myself but I dont live near any section 8 housing so it'd be a good 30 minute drive minimum one way. maybe if I get bored enough this weekend.

>>51120056
I wish I paid closer attention to see if there was anything in there cheaper than their stock price. I vaguely remember something being .79 but I can't remember what it was. These are the last pictures I took, but also take note at how dimly lit the store is. It had the same atmosphere of this other mall I went to back east where people would get stabbed occasionally. If there are still people shilling PRTY closer to haloween I'll go back and see if it has gotten its act together more.

>>51120219
I am not joking. I experienced the same thing and work at such a place. They don't pay competitively. But I get to half ass everything so I consider it a fair trade off.

>>51120220

A few employees probably quit this week and he's part of their monthly churn.

>>51120220
I bought a costume for Halloween at party city and it was absolutely full of faggots and normies.

PRTY is based just like dollar general or whatever.. you can't short chink garbage stores or fried chicken fast food... they are American as apple pie

>>51120239
were you able to negotiate higher?

>>51120047
It's a red flag but not necessarily a dealbreaker. I got a job offer the same day once after an interviewer where they actually asked "so you don't take a lot of vacation, do you?" They said yes to the salary demands right away, but when the offer came through the job title was different. I passed and got a better offer shortly after: a few bucks more with normal benefits.
If it's *not* a scam it means they're a shit show and need people and don't often get an acceptable candidate. Whether you take the job or not depends on your prospects.

1.80 cents more expensive on Amazon for the same product. So much for an online retailer offering competitive prices

>>51120323
oh that sucks. I guess you get a nice pension tho

what's a good stock I can park $110k on and see hood returns or even dividends?
I just lost my job and future prospects look grim so I'm looking for any kind of income I can get

>>51120340
I bet there's a huge market for paw patrol cupcake wrappers.

>>51120351
That is for people who joined prior to 2014. They stopped pensions for everyone post 2014 and gave us all 401k plans instead. The state's current pension obligations has driven us dangerously close to bankruptcy unironically so they had to stop that.

>>51120372
> He doesn't know.....

>>51120340
HA! Guess AMZN will buy Party City so they can compete in cupcake holder prices. Reminds me of when JCP was going into bankruptcy and we all pumped it saying that Bezos was gonna buy it out.

>>51120374
KO boomer got in before that pension thing was abolished though.

Imagine doing market research, TA, forum Q&As, 200 day SMAs. 500 day SMA, reading, when all you had to do was gamble on a silly string and hooker costume discount store for the holidays. It's not too late to get on these paw patrol cup cake liners frens

Imaging raising a kid into adulthood than having him turn gay and hate you. But hey at least his parents portfolio might go up because that is bullish for SIGA

Hey guys before we get into this thread, I want to talk about /smg/'s sponsor for this evening: ProShares! They've been at the forefront of the ETF revolution since 2006 and, with more than $60 billion in assets, they now offer one of the largest lineups of ETFs on the market. ProShares is the leader in strategies such as dividend growth, interest rate hedged bond and geared (leveraged and inverse) ETF investing. ProShares continues to innovate with products that provide strategic and tactical opportunities for investors to enhance returns and manage risk. Their lineup of funds includes those focused on equities, fixed income, alternative investments, and volatility. ProShares also puts a twist on these investments by offering both leveraged ETFs and inverse funds! They offer over 140 different products across different asset classes, sectors, and market segments. Products that involve asset classes seek to track the investment performance of equities, fixed income, commodities, and real estate. Products that involve different industries and market segments follow emerging and developing markets as well as individual countries in Europe and Asia.

Now, back to the thread!

A dividend like that is going to make that stock nose dive hard. Everyone bails after collecting. Remember zim? It will stabilize 2 weeks after then its a buy

I'm shorting European toilet paper stocks

https://twitter.com/SGMWorldnews/status/1563291933388115968

Not buying any stocks until the S&P 500 dips below the 50 and 200 week moving average. It has done this many times in the past and will do so again since interest rates aren't coming down anytime soon. Will start looking to reinvest dividends again once the S&P goes below 3500 but it will probably drop even further.

>>51120712
Hey, Garbage Don made me good money. The problem is to know when to bail. Gaysex, garbage don, govx, are all turds that were shilled here. If your up 30%, GTFO

Why aren't synthetic futures more popular? 100 delta, no theta decay, and no cost. You can close out the legs any time to take profit, and avoid potential losses or assignment. What am I missing?

Is it just me, or do any other anons experience that thing where you're in a room with something generating a lot of white noise, like a loud fan blowing or or air conditioner... and in that noise you can make out the sound of children suffering? Maybe I'm just getting older...

I have my coworker excited about owning party city. You fags will never be High T chads

>>51120971
That's actually the great thing about clown world. The west is getting to learn the hard way why you don't tolerate this kind of degeneracy in your society. I actually didn't even mind gays until a few years ago, but now I understand fully the thousands of years of persecution they experienced was just a direct consequence of their actions (kind of like jews).

Teslabros, how are we looking?

We took a little tumble to $288 today but you can look at it as a fire sale! I had a good coffee after work and loaded up on more shares.

So on average the Fed starts to reduce rates 7 or 8 months after the final hike. Something to consider.

He is a new hire. He has an engineering BA degree and is driving a forklift. The kid is making 18 an hour. Boeing keeps stone walling him. So this kid is going to get his master degree while driving a forklift with me lmao. Meanwhile I shilled him SIGA, he never sold and is now bagholding, and now I am shilling him PRTY and he wants in but has no money. I never shilled him BBBY because its a shit pnd play

Some shit is cheapest there just like any big retailer. The issue now is you got to wait half a month (start a subscription and then cancel) to get decent prices on most things.

I bought 50 calls @11 of bby ending 9/2.

Party City is cheaper than Amazon. Muh recession fud is retarded. People want cheap party supplies. Party Cities online store is amazing with fast shipping. This stock is at 1.80 cents. It always pumps leading up to Halloween. Its a good play

Junior gold mining stocks are going to start getting incredibly bullish incredibly soon.

>>51121962
low risk you buy whatever company that won't go out of business and you know, or index funds with perhaps a little less return.

If you want to actually make money and increase the risk a bit, for the next 5-10 years commodities are still very low. Oil and gas micros, uranium miners, metals, shipping, etc. you basically have the gov fudding with peak inflation for free. Just pay attention to position sizing and diversify here because you want to catch the multi baggers and you can't guess
