The interviewer came into the interview late, and from the get go didn't seem to care what he was doing. And that kinda spilled onto him not caring about anything I said. Anything and everything I said, he looked super unimpressed and he even said "that's it?" at times and it made me feel less about myself. More than having a bad interview, him being and asshole to me about my accomplishments so far was very harsh and I didn't know how to react other than just take his shit. It was rough

Starting pay is $15.50 an hour which is not bad money at all for what we do.

Kek fucking based interviewer. To be fair, he is probably like me and has fuck up loser fatigue. I'm at the point now where by the time I finish all the interviews I'm going to need a drink. Americans are fuck ups through and through especially in 2022. Sorry you had to be on the receiving end of that guy.

>>52700034
He was shit testing you. You probably gave off a bitch aura. Remind him no matter how hard he scrubs his shit covered hands he will never wash off the poo and that he is lucky he got an h1b visa

>>52700074
Would be fun to see the truckers and the railworkers both strike at the same time. Im loving how the democrats are saying fuck the unions on a national stage.

>>52700053
It's clown world so tesla would probably hit an ath to fuck over retail shorts

>>52700034
What kind of dumbass questions did he ask? Are they still using the same old tired ass HR type questions from the 80's, like what's your greatest strength and weaknesses, your greatest personal accomplishment, where do you see yourself in 5 years, etc?

I am 26 years old and leaving for Thailand to have sex with men.

I've never even kissed a girl.
Next year I get $360 thousand USD and then I am going to the third world for sex with stupid men.

>>52700054
Yields are also based on inflation, yields can invert based in inflation moving downwards

>>52700093
Like when they showed concentration camp footage of the Mexicans on the border in cages for 4 years under Trump and then dropped the story when biden was elected but the caged Mexicans are still there and nothing changes?

Their voter base is literally retarded and has the memory span of a goldfish

>>52700093
It wouldn't be fun and it wouldn't paint either group in a positive light. If they ruined Christmas the court of public opinion would rule against them, and then people would completely turn on the workers not the companies

>>52700120
I have $131 thousand USD at late 25 currently.
I got hit in the Metaverse, but I walked away.

>>52700120
you can sex girls too. you dont have to sex men just because you never kissed a girl. the girls will kiss you if you pay them.

>>52700107
>tired ass HR type questions
Modern ones are like
What can you contribute to a team
Describe a difficult situation and how you solved it
Why do you want to work specifically for our company
Why did you want out of your previous job

Credit Suisse is defaulting and nobody cares. The contagion would be massive.

>>52700143
I've never understood why HR asks dumb questions like that. They don't tell you much about a person because they are always going to give you scripted answers. When I interview people I can tell rather they're going to be shot or not just based off their body language and casual conversation. It's always the very arrogant ones that can't stop talking about themselves that suck the most. Talk is cheap. The good ones don't have to say much, and have a "give me a chance and I'll show you" attitude about them

My honest conclusion is that they are filtering people who are independent thinkers and won’t give some equally cliche bullshit Corp-speak answer back to them.

It’s effectively filtering for liars though. Only good liars can work here kek

>>52700193
I'm sorry anon we have a vax policy here at PepsiCo and I notice you said you "preferred not to say" your pronouns? What's that all about?

>>52700189
The idea is to filter out the people so fucking autistic they can't plan out their answers to such generic questions in advance, or worse, get angry when asked the question.

>>52700193

Another day. Another day of "doing nothing". Another day of eating a $5.93 Hardee's Lunch meal (medium sized) and watching the VZ ticker move on google via my work computer. Needless to say my vigilance paid off; bagged during the dippy at just a hair over $38.

>>52700189

>>52700189
Kek, best I can remember during my uh interview if you wanna call it that all they did was show me where I would be working, going round to meet my soon to be co-workers, and filling out paperwork. Then they told me "report in 2 weeks on such date/time". My ass spent the next two weeks before I reported to work in S.C.

>>52700278
rightly so, before signing the contract you are a customer and the HR monkey in front of you tries to sell you a job, if he fails, fuck him and fuck his company forever in any capacity, if as employee, customer or future coperations

the sad thing is that everything Ye says is true but they still going to destroy him in the media (which they own).

seriously name 3 things he's said about the Jews that have been wrong so far. you can't. don't even try, you'll just be wasting your time because it's all true.

>>52700278
I always like to ask them how long they have been with the company and watch em squirm around a little when they say however many months and how great the culture is. Casually grill them about the turnover rate and why the position is available since it's such a goddamn amazing place to wagie dance at

I actually feel a little bit better today about my applicants not showing up knowing some of you are simultaneously getting fired I'm the process.

There is a plot point in the game suzerain where you as the president have the option to meet with a media mogul, basically CNN, and they offer to essentially be a propaganda mill for you if you help them absorb another company. They said they can guarantee I get reelected. Although I didn't get reelected, I started a war with another country that was more powerful than mine and me and my entire family ended up getting murdered. Politics is tough.

Its over. This is a new paradigm. One dollar will be worth 21 million bitcoin. Most will be priced out of the 10 dollar e honda.

Housing will plummet so hard and yet so few will afford the standard 100 dollar family of four home.

I just recently posted a reply to you but didn't realize how old the thread was at the time, I've had a busy day and it was still in my thread watcher. I just want to be sure you see it and at least re-consider deleting. There will always be new people that discover /smg/ and might get pointed towards (You) for history if nothing else.

>>52700046

>>52700495
could be worse. i bought BTU at $18 and sold at $12 during that dip at the end of 2021 thinking it was over because China was fixing the coal prices at the time. i made a lot of bad decisions that year after i made $50k off of GME in all honesty, and lost all of it.

i have a great recession proof tech career and learned a ton about trading which ended with me actually being a profitable trader now, but that's still an experience im never going to forget. $50k was my life savings and then i doubled it in 2 days. then i lost it over the course of the rest of the year doing dumb cocky things. idk if you'd consider that an expensive education or a cheap one considering i basically just ended up at break even, but still. pain is the best teacher.

>>52700565
Ye pissed of the tribe and now their going to take their anger out on retail. Hope you Anons aren't holding any options over night.

>futures

>>52700616
Oh yeah I completely missed that. I'm going to end up in a similar position to you. I'm going to have a serious health event in the near future that will likely knock me out of the work force, I think I've reached a point that I just don't care anymore. As far as the videos go it's just tough to find time anymore. Everytime I think I have some free time to work on it, some shit comes up and derails it. I thought I'd have some time tonight to fuck around but then my parents let me know that they are coming over to my apartment tomorrow to watch the Christmas parade. So now instead of having some much needed down time after work, I have to spend the entire night cleaning my apartment and hiding a of my serial killer tier shit so they won't see it as I won't be there. I'm more than happy to do it for them but damn I wasn't prepay for that. I will also give a rundown on some of the oldfags eventually.

>>52700678
Is this Ted Bundy or some shit?

>selling coal
lmao I don't think I'll see $100 eoy anymore but I still believe 90 is doable.

>>52700495
I've made probably close to $30/share of BTU this past year just selling covered calls and collecting $2 premium every month while it goes nowhere.

Here's the QRD:
>coof happened
>fearing the end of the world, the FED injected way too much liquidity into the economy
>inflation is now the new problem
>hike rates at record pace not seen since the 80s
>despite all the memes, SOME parts of the inflation numbers were transitory
>inflation is being softened faster than anticipated
>now we face a DEFLATIONARY risk if the FED doesn't stop QT in time due to lagging indicators
>market is pricing in an earlier pause/cuts and calling FED bluff (you are here)
>will rally off this until the economy fully digests the hikes and the eventual recession happens next year
>this will force the FED into much lower rates as the bond market predicted, which they need an excuse to do since they overtightened way too fast

>>52700074
>will the rail wagies just accept the new shitty deal
You already know the answer. The idea that anyone has the moral value required to fight the government is just laughably absurd.

Well, I understand the not having time for making new ones, or even just losing the desire, etc., but please re-consider to not delete the channel if you do, so at least what you've done will always be there for future Anons that do some time in /smg/ and are interested in history.

Core cpi hasn't decreased at all. Inflation isn't going anywhere. Jerome said it again yesterday. Prices continue to increase of almost everything. Only a couple bullshit categories like used cars have decreased. Food/shelter/energy increasing. Bulls don't listen to anything other than CNN propaganda

It's all so tiresome.. Jerome Powell can literally hold a press conference and say inflation isn't decreasing and how rates will need to be higher for longer and all of /smg/ will post the next day about a pivot because inflation is decreasing

>they sure as fuck ain't me
Nope. When I lost my own business during Great Recession, I applied to many jobs, including a temp service for all the companies they repped for, and couldn't get shit. I applied for a school janny job, interviewed, didn't get it. During Great Recession there was *lots* of competition for *everything*. Essentially *everyone* who had anything to do with construction was out of work indefinitely. Finally I found a gig...at Hardee's. I worked there for a couple of years, and usually had to do the job of at least 3 people. The general manager gave me a going away party my last day, and cried. She had me an expensive Mexican tres leches cake made in the shape of a Hardee's star. Over the course of that 2 years I saw a *lot* of people come and go, never a party. It's shocking how rare it is for people to actually do anything anywhere.

Zoomers don't understand how bad the 08' recession was. I remember losing .y job at red lobster when that hit and you couldn't buy a job. Even fast food wasn't hiring. You wouldn't see a single hiring sign anywhere and if you did 30 other people were applying for that same job. This recession is going to be way way worse than 08'. Buckle up zoomers. Sorry about your business man, that's fucked up. One of my close friends owned a brewery/bar and a coffee shop the next town over and he had to close both of them just last month. He's literally financially ruined. Feel terrible for the guy. He did everything right and this was the end result.

Everytime smg gets overwhelmingly bearish we have an insane rally.
The S&P is only 15% off ATHs
The DIA is only 5% off ATHs

Even 2008 only took like 3 years to recover. The US is sucking up wealth from all over the world, they have no intention of crashing their economy. Get real.

Its a meme. Somebody send them to fox or cnn

Mumu. Let's do a quick thought experiment. Check the PCE if you please. Now. Is the year-on-year PCE lower than the fed funds rate? Or higher?
What do you think this means about the future direction of the fed funds rate? Now, if the fed funds rate were to go in the direction you are thinking of, what direction do you think the stock market would go?

Bulls are physically taking Christmas presents away from my family with every point SPY goes up. You people are monsters.

>>52700709
Inflation is structural and will remain persistent for 10-20 yrs because of:

-demographics: workforce is effectively shrinking.
-energy transition: energy will be more expensive as traditional sources are under-capitalised and new sources are un-optimised
-deglobalisation: supply chains are shrinking in order to prevent vulnerability to geopolitical competition.

IMO the situation is actually considerably worse than the 1970s and the global economy would be lucky to see a repeat of that, IMO there is instead real risk of serious conflict and major global shifts.
Getting out of this hole will require a fundamentally new global system built on new supply chains and that creates opportunity for radical strategic shifts.
Whoever can deliver that gets to be the champion of the global system.

>>52700967
Nigger I'll buy a pound of weed a shitton of divvy stocks at the bottom and go hike the Appalachian trail and bum around for a while. I've got enough powder for a couple years and no debt anchor.

The job market will never weaken because the vax fucked over too many normies and hundreds of thousands of boomers died of covid. That’s my schizo theory. Do what you must with that information. The strong labor market will continue.

>>52701013
How does a shrinking workforce drives inflation? Reduces demand and productivity alike. The only inflationary factor in society remaining that might drive inflationary demand are boomers out of work

>financially ruined
Yep, like I said before, I can't even have a bank account to trade and having to find someone that will let me do it under them. Great Recession's effects ultimately took my marriage and home, and still have the black cloud of judgements to this day. I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to pull off enough of a miracle to just pay all that off, but now I have new debts thanks to ER visits as a homeless person with this surprise health shit. Life in Babylon.

I've told my son many times now about what's coming, and explained a lot that he was too young to notice and understand from 08, to try to sink the point in for him. He's in college now and I'm trying to brace and prepare him for the world he'll be facing, but also setting the example to him that no matter what, you fucking survive and don't puss out from rough shit.

OK, time for another thought experiment mumu
Check the P/E of SPY if you please. Now. Is the earnings yield implied by this P/E higher than the US 2-yr bond yield? Or lower?
What do you think this means about the expected return of buying stocks as compared to bonds? And how might that translate to performance of the stock market?

>>52701048
Nah it's wayyyy worse. Most people are debt maxed. Shit is going to get hilarious.

>>52701016
This was me *after* my divorce, until the health shit hit. I was actively planning the Appalachian Trail. But if you had a wife and son and making goyslop for $7.15 an hour (what I got paid) was all you could find and you were giving everything you had to keeping your family together, you'd do it.

I watched the whole conference and he didn't say any of that shit..

He said
>no pause
>no reversal
>higher rates for longer
>we will not reduce rates (pivot) before 2% year over year inflation
>core inflation remains elevated

>>52701133
ok but he did it on like 3% prime rates , the cash flows are minimal to cover that

>>52701212
I watched it too, he *did* say the *pace* would be eased. The point they are making in the article is that people chose to hear "pivot" in that, which they are saying he absolutely did not say.

>>52701212
What's happening: Investors have been closely watching for any clues that the Fed might slow or pause its painful path of rate hikes, intended to fight persistent inflation. But their search for signs has led to a hopeful distortion of facts: Powell says "moderate" and investors hear "pivot."

"The time for moderating the pace of rate increases may come as soon as the December meeting," said Powell in remarks at the Brookings Institution, his last public appearance before the central bank enters a blackout period ahead of its December 13-14 policymaking meeting.

Investors celebrated. The S&P 500 ended its three-day losing streak and closed up 2.7% on Wednesday. The Dow officially entered a bull market. The 10-year Treasury yield also eased on the news.

Market rallies can lead to counterproductive easing in financial conditions and boost the economy, which is the opposite of what the Fed is trying to do with its tightening policy. Powell tried to do some hawkish "jawboning" by signaling that the FOMC will keep hiking well into 2023, but investors didn't seem to mind.

"By any standard, inflation remains much too high," said Powell. "It will take substantially more evidence to give comfort that inflation is actually declining."

>>52701277
Searching for Atlantis: Investors are seemingly addicted to the highs and lows of any perceived shifts in the Fed's thinking, leaving markets excessively volatile. That's exactly what the Fed doesn't want to happen.

St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard warned this week that the stock market is underpricing the risk of a continually aggressive Fed.

This isn't the first time investors rushed into markets on the belief that there would be a Fed pivot. The last time the market ran with a similar narrative over the summer, it didn't go so well. Powell responded with a very hawkish speech at Jackson Hole that sent markets plummeting. The Fed ended up delivering more hikes in the months that followed.

>>52701286
The bottom line: The Fed has increased its benchmark lending rate six times this year in an attempt to discourage borrowing, cool the economy and bring down historically high inflation that peaked at 9.1% over the summer and has since slowed to a still uncomfortably high 7.7%, according to the latest Consumer Price Index.

Even if interest rate hikes ease a bit, they will remain high, and economists are largely expecting that the US economy will endure a recession next year. Powell said on Wednesday that there is still a chance the economy avoids recession but the odds are slim. "To the extent we need to keep rates higher longer, that's going to narrow the path to a soft landing," he said.

Moderating in December means 50bps instead of 75bps which was already priced in as the likely outcome in a couple of weeks.. the rally was 100% bullshit and not founded on anything he said. I think it was an exit pump and to clear out puts.. I think big money decided they were going to pump and run pivot/rally stories no matter what he said.

>>52701249
It was all robots

The Vix is at it's spot again. Don't like it. Means we may crash soon. We need a catlyst in order for it to crash. Maybe a higher CPI read. Russia goes SANTA APE SHIT? Tether insolvency.

>>52701307
>means 50bps instead of 75bps
Exactly, that's what's being said, that the increase is going to be less than previous increases. Their whole point is that people chose to hear "pivot" from that when that's not at all what was being said.
>>52701308
That very well could be, and a fascinating consideration. I heard Gregory Mannarino mention that kind of thing.

>don't fight the Fed
The thing is, I don't believe a thing the Fed says. I don't believe a thing the financial news says. I only trust my gut.
My gut is telling me not to try and time this market.

I'll continue holding JEPI and I'll continue holding SKYT as my side hustle and in 3 years I'll be 100% better off then most of you swing traders.

>>52701346
People aren't choosing to hear "pivot" they are being force-fed a pivot narrative by the media. 75bps to 50bps isn't even a pivot. The pivot was actively debunked yesterday and the media still shills it.

Something relatively insignificant will happen and they will use it as an excuse to gap down the market and dump on retards

>>52701394
>the media still shills it
That well could be, but not "the media" I happened to see, including right there CNN saying that people taking hope of a pivot from what he said is a bad thing. I only ever see "media" while I'm on the shitter though, so there's no telling what all (((they))) are saying.

>>52701560
Oh, yes, those are. I only read 2 articles after the speech and they were both pretty solid. I sent picrel to my son and told him to read it very carefully if he had the time (he's double course load). I was just pointing out that in general they've been letting out some pretty hard core bear in many, many articles I see, rather than artificially trying to pump hopium.

Ahh jeez I wonder why my generation can't comprehend such a "bad" recession. Not like we lost 2 years of our lives,all our money lost value, we got/continue to get priced out of everything. I mean seriously if you lived in a big city 08 wouldn't have affected you in any way shape or form. Damn man I genuinely can't believe how hard 08 was on the nation, I mean home prices were at a low but jeez the 08 financial crisis suree was hard on people

There isn't going to be a crash in december, there's no volume. If there's a crash it'll be when the recession 'officially' starts next year like how 2007 sucked and the market crashed in 2008.

Indeed, I have told my son if we had control over his account we'd sell all his stocks and move them into treasuries while awaiting the bottom. There are a few of his stocks I'd buy back at that point, but right now we're just forced to watch it all sit there vulnerable until the program he's in is done. The Jan 2 to April stretch of 2022 took him down a good bit from peak and it's been a slow build back ever since.

how many times have we played this game in the past few months? five?

Can someone explain how the hell JEPI was able to increase their monthly dividend to $0.61 a share? Options were cheaper this month and stock prices rose, so I don't see how they were able to generate so much cash from their covered calls.

>>52702068
Who are you quoting?

>>52702076
probably because of it actually crabbing, they didnt lose as much money. plus if they bought their premiums 1 month ago, and they just expired then it could make sense even without the crab.

if this chart is accurate then is really does appear that the rates are close to target levels. it would need to be increased again to reach next years target though.

i cant really see a resumption of the bear market unless we get some bad econ data and poor earnings reports coming up. am i wrong?
