>>53620310
Inflation isn’t the problem right now

Why are bobos focusing on interest rates this much?
There are hundreds other macro indicators to follow.
I know mainstream media couldn't stop talking about rate hikes for months, but I doubt any sane person takes their advice seriously, right?

Boboids are reactive retards who unironically don't even look forward a week. They don't realize that the market is looking forward at least 1 year, often 5+ years. For this reason bobochuds will always lose money.

Make them buy back their bags much much higher.

>>53620339
What, yes it is. That is why prices are so insainly high that is why the fed is hiking rates and the rate hikes are why the market is under preforming from the last 10 years.

Yes it is.

>>53620271
On market data put out by JP morgan shows the opposite and that retail investment is higher than ever, which is why JPM is saying there will be a more than 10% dump.

No. Do your own research.

Literal bullshit, you can backtest and see it's completely fine. I swear the 3x ETF people just put that in the prospectus to legally cover themselves. Theres no such thing as decay it's literally just how compounding works, holding 3x ETFs would be horrible if we were in a boomer crab decade but post 2009 is QE clownworld and therefore it's completely fine.

No it isn't kek.
Beta decay is real.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/121515/why-3x-etfs-are-riskier-you-think.asp

>Assume an investor has placed $100 in a triple-leveraged fund. Consider what happens when the price of the benchmark index goes up 5% one day and down 5% on the next trading day. The 3x leveraged fund goes up 15% and down 15% on consecutive days. After the first day of trading, the initial $100 investment is worth $115. The next day after trading closes, the initial investment is now worth $97.75. That represents a loss of 2.25% on an investment that would normally track the benchmark without the use of leverage.

>>53620635
I swear, every day this thread either argues about dividends vs. buybacks or whether 3x ETFs are good.

>>53620310
No it’s not

>>53620272

>>53620652
That's literally just compounding you smug psuedointellectual faggot, stop using retarded terms to explain something basic.

Biggest retard on the thread cope.

half of /smg/ is lying to me, i just need to figure out which half

>>53620700
Depending on *what* the ETF is, a 1x is terrifying to hold. You gotta decide on your play then your risk tolerance/comfort level, then allocate. Sometimes that's 50% cash & 50% 1x ETF (0.5x), sometimes that's 100% TQQQ (3x), sometimes that's 100% 0dte calls (10x or whatever the fuck).

Stressing out over slippage/decay or a law against holding X days or expense ratios is focusing on the wrong stuff.

>>53620745
It's the gayer half.

>>53620742
>the market only go up
Yes, we're in the QE era. It will literally only go up, the only way you'll ever see any significant dump is with another covid tier black swan event.

>>53620700
It's much better to buy coke and other devices so you can get up in the morning, sip you monster, and watch your net worth increase by 3.25$ before heading to the grill.

I still remember headlines from Q3 saying stuff along the lines "market will continue going down until people capitulate". They were not even hiding their intentions kek.
And retards sold because they wanted to buy back once capitulation occurs, not knowing they are the ones being outpriced.

Is it really difficult to figure out? The mumu side tells you to buy ETFs and hold them with a decade or more timeframe. The bobo tells you to time the market and shits itself while talking about jewish conspiracies and claiming the market is rigged against them. It really shouldn't be hard for you to identify who the honest group here is.

Kek, passively letting securities expire isn't tightening. There's a reason the generational bottom was only 3500 or a pathetic 25% crash, the market knows Powell has no balls to seriously tighten.

kek. There were retards out there saying they were going to get rich shorting SPX down to 3200. Same people buying the top in November 2021.

>>53620826
500 BPs was already priced in a year ago, it's insignificant as they aren't even going above the inflation rate. The point is any pause in the QE era will be like 2022 a pathetic 20% dump with some half assed tightening, you might as well just keep DCAing and not try to time the market. We'll resume the ZIRP + QE by 2024.

>>53620831
>I just make my own every month
me too, because i'm retarded and ignore the calendar section of the OP

>>53620831
Well there's literally a section in the OP but I like https://www.fxstreet.com/economic-calendar since it has a nifty time zone adjustment and pretty complete "Expectation" numbers. The Investing.com one is decent too.

>>53620862
Keep in mind there are bear and bull 3x's in a ton of markets. And the odds of them *all* crabbing are pretty much 0 so there's always action somewhere: https://etfdb.com/etfdb-category/leveraged-equities/

>>53620863
>500 BPs was already priced in a year ago

Yes this is why the market shed 50% of its value over the course of a yer and a half. Very priced in. You don't even realize you are talking to some one with, more or less, the same economic outlook as you we just disagree about the last year and a half because you are a massive retard trying to justify holding etf's that will literally sink your wallet, kek.

I agree we will resume qe by 2024 and that we are currently even in a new bull cycle, but, holy shit you are dumb as fuck if you think sitting at 5% bps is not tight as fuck economically. Massive fucking retard. You are literally going to bankrupt people shilling 3x leveraged etfs. Moron, moron, moron.

Anon...

>>53620661
Yep, I saved this screencap on October 17th. And yet we had people in /smg/ claiming that SPY will go lower.

For taxes, I know I can only deduct $2000 in losses per year, but let's say in 2022 I realized a $10k loss, so for my 2022 tax return I deduct $2k leaving behind $8k for later. Then in 2023, I realize a $9k gain, does that mean I can subtract the rest of that $8k and only pay taxes on the $1k profit? Or can I only subtract $2k from 2022 and have to pay taxes on $7k profit?
(I know I'm being presumptuous thinking I will make money this year...)

>>53620859
he shredded the black betty guitar solo for like 10 minutes, took a huge bite out of a crab leg off someone's plate then moonwalked out of there

Was this peron key in defeating inflation?

>>53620967
make sure to buy sector specific 3x ETFs for even bigger returns

>>53621003
Buddy I already made it, relying on unleveraged, leveraged, and options plays. If I stuck to boomer investing, I'd still be in the wagecage.

Now backtrack and say "uh, ok, so you exist but there's no way anyone else could escape the wage cage that way!" and get buried under like 5 other anons.

>>53620947
October was bullish as fuck, early November was when it became not so certain

>>53621043
That's only because you don't believe in power of corporate america. Hooah!

I would absolutely fucking rope if I were him today.

>>53621112
Wait, bro, you don't understand! With 3x jewry, you only made like 80% instead of a theoretical maximum of 90% off your oil play. You should've stuck to a unlevered 30% gain!

>>53621138
I haven't done as well as you though, ngl kinda jelly, how long have you been at it. But yeah if the direction is clear like it has been for oil recently then 3x ETFs are the super obvious play.

>>53620684
truflations a bit lower but even they are saying its no longer going down.

but it appears jpow is all talk. he just says the words 2% but will not tighten any further

>>53621110
Nice. I do applaud you for making it.
However, still, statistically, people are ngmi following this plan. I plan to, yes, take the much more comfortable route and in about 10 or 15 years generate 500k of savings/invesments.

Then I will probably start toying around with options and forex. At the very least I can quit my factory job and go back to my part time job and have more free time over all. It depends on your risk tolerance, too, which I simply have a low risk tolerance, but, at least I know I have a much higher probability of living a much more comfortable life in 15 years following this route than either becoming extremely rich or extremely poor. Depending on the length of the next bullmarket I am getting ready for placing puts on the next bear market/crash/black swan.

>>53621145

I'm not going to be the autist to do it, but when I look at charts of TQQQ over time, it looks about right (though SQQQ and other short ETFs do not track nearly as well). But yeah, even when TQQQ gets chopped to shit by drops like this last year, it's still fine. In fact, I think this entire dump the last year is somewhat LESS than a 3x drop in TQQQ. I read some article online that explained how this 3x ETF fud is indeed BS fud, but I don't have the link rn.

ASMB stock ladies!

>>53621169
Geez, like 6 years at this point in terms of not 100% indexing. It has its ups and downs but I couldn't imagine going back to purely passive buy and hold. The missed gainz would be too painful.

>>53621172
Free time does help and you remind me a lot of me early on. As you put thought into things and gain experience your performance is going to increase, I've no doubt.

>>53621173
I don't know man, it's certainly easier than when I was selling options on shit like GREE.

>>53621194
>3x ETF fud
It's actually more like, the prospectus states that you get 3x DAILY returns. Reading between the lines, this means "don't expect to get 3x on any longer timeframe than that". But even if you only get 1.5x on a longer timeframe, it's still better than 1x...

>you can't just hold LETFs its bad okay??
>yeah righto i'll just trade em then
>NOOOOO NGMI! NGMI!

>>53621225
You've read one too many copypastas. He is actually a very cool guy.

>>53620679
Let's make the numbers easier so you understand. Assume the market goes up 25% one day and down 20% the following day. So we're back to unch. Let's say the market does this 100 times in a row. So it gets back to unch after 200 days. Now do the calc with a 3xETF, going up 75% and down 60% for a consecutive 100 times.

>>53621246
It is even worse than that because of rebalancing which happens daily. Crab market will absolutely murk a leveraged ETF but it is godlike in a bullrun.

i closed my short, but not before losing a lot. I'm wondering about how time travel technology is coming along.

>>53621246
Yes, the market has to go up way more than it goes down compared to a 1x fund. Here's the thing:
>line always goes up
And if you're really that worried, take out half of your capital and just keep it as cash so that you have a 0.5x fund. Or better, just keep it all in cash, and you have literally zero decay.

>>53621180
Thanks. Risk tolerance will come with experience. Having a job that lets you save a lot helps as well. There's also no law that says you have to actively trade with more than 1% of your cash or whatever.

And if you find you don't have talent or an edge or don't want the time investment or stress, there's always 100% SPXL.

Ok, or 100% VTI.

Well maybe one day. For now I'm happy with how I'm doing as I lost only 5% last year and am up 20+% this year with risk-averse portfolio, so I think it works for me for now. I got some SOXL on 2nd account that I bought last year but I haven't looked at it for months kek.

>>53621345
We'd probably need some sort of panic-inducing tail risk event to counteract all those jobs and TGA dollars flowing into the system.

I'd probably be bearish for next week's CPI and whenever a debt ceiling deal gets hammered out. But I generally don't "do" indexes or 0dte's or whatever.

Noice. One habit/lesson I had to learn is facing down shit plays. Sure, it hurts to see that red text but once you're over it you can reassess. Are semiconductors going to make a turnaround? Are the components of SOXL reasonable or shit? Is SOXX/ICESEMI in a technically strong or technically weak position?

Can only tackle those questions if you summon that bit of courage and/or masochism.

>>53621394
Don't worry.
Most doctors are going to be quartered soon
Just like they were in Genoa during the black plague when they intentionally tried to spread it once people were becoming unaffected by it.
All of them were quartered except one, a doctor's son. He was beheaded.

>>53621411
>Well, what's the big play at the moment?
One thing to keep in mind is you might not *have* a big play. Your (female) broker hates it but you can just sit in 100% cash waiting for things to develop.

Does that mean missing some moons in unrelated stocks or industries and living with a flat performance chart? Yup. But that can be better than the alternative of jumping into something where the odds are against you.

you bought puts right anon?

>>53621411
>Also, what are TGA dollars. I thought the fed was doing QT so we should see some bearishness before the money printers turn on.
Treasury General Account (aka Yellen's checking account). Debt ceiling means she can't raise new dollars for it by selling bonds and instead has to spend that money.

So while the Fed balance sheet is down and money market funds are still parking their dollars at the RRP, the TGA dollars counter that by flowing into the market. See something like

Nope, 100% actively managing. But indexes are still like the dollar, interest rates, the bond market, etc: worth keeping an eye on as underlying currents.

They put my sister on Paxil and she was never the same afterwards. Fuck that shit and fuck the pushers.

>CMG missed earnings
I swear to fuck, CMG ought to split their shares. There is no reason to have a quadruple digit stock, which makes it impossible to sell options on unless you want to be giga overweight something.

I can't believe the CHAD ticker is wasted on that ETF
Direxion should be sued

>>53621246
Yes they are terrible in crab markets, but we won't have a sustained crab market like the boomers sometimes had for years. I expect ZIRP and QE again in the next year and in these environments 3x ETFs print money.

I will not under any circumstance contribute even one second of my labor to the Biden administration's economic plan, and that's a promise.

>>53621610
They keep pissing people off with their skimpy burritos and it'll be a double digit stock soon enough.

I stopped going entirely and self cook. The ingredients are simple and aside from chopping salsa quite easy to cook in bulk with ex cooks giving the recipes away online

Chipotle had a hard decline in quality, slow workers, and the burritos are about half as good and big as 10 years ago. But still packed with consumers even ones dumb enough to wait in the line and not app as 20 people cut ahead with app

The salsas are basic and easy to copy. Nothing really proprietary about chipotle flavor except maybe the burrito having a lot of sugar

So i guess it's time to start thinking about investing in BIRD FLU VACCINE companies. like SANDOFRI?

/smg/

what would you do if you had a ~$1.2-2.5m lawsuit settlement coming in at some point this year?

my gut tells me to go around putting in lowball offers on real estate near water and turn them all into airbnb’s

>>53621718
>they skimp out extra hard if you order through it
ding ding dingaling

if you order online from anywhere, especially any chain, youre gonna get skimpy portions of the oldest shit

its partially because they make less margin from online orders, but its also just how you interact with the worker. think about it. when you order online, they see your whole burrito order on one strip of paper. that means they can plan how much of each ingredient to put in, based on how many things you have total.

but if youre ordering in person, you tell them the ingredients one by one. they dont know, when theyre scooping in the rice beans and chicken, if you'll also be getting veggies, cheese, guac, sour cream etc, so they give you a full portioned scoop of the good stuff.

you also deserve old ass food if you order online b/c its gonna be cold by the time it gets to you anyway

We like to have fun here :^)

>>53621429
Gotta feel a little bad for anyone who falls for a value trap like LUMN after the divvy gets cut.
It's a supply/demand overhang. No one wants to hold those bags anymore. Even if they performed the most insane turnaround, it'd take 2 years before the shares see sunlight again.
For now, it'll keep drilling regardless of everything.

>>53621804
Just merge them all at this point. Really no point in having them separate if they all just move the same way.

>>53621799

>>53621799
i'd quit my day job. i already live at home and am waiting for my parents to die so i can get the house (enjoy your pods btw losers lmaoooo~) and yet another chunk of change on top of that equalling a couple milli. but getting 1+ million now would mean i wouldn't need a day job like i currently have making $60k/year at the beginning of my career.

honestly stock market just seems like the best vehicle for making money regardless of what you do. day trade, swing trade, position trade, options, dividends, indices. it's all there. why the fuck would you ever deal with anything with low liquidity or where you have to actually deal with real people or overhead? like, seriously, why? warren buffet faced this same exact fucking question when he was young and he was just like "lol why the fuck would i deal with that low liquidity shit with all these extra fees nigga?" that's an exact quote btw.

cooking is a really underrated skill in this generation. the only real reason i don't cook regularly (i know how and have done it plenty of times) is that i still live with my parents and my mom makes the meals. honestly i make better food than my mom but it's just easier this way and it's still good home cooked shit. she just does it more by "feel" even though i keep trying to teach her how to time things and do it more scientifically to produce consistent high quality results.

>>53621832
unironically try weed. i was the same way and didn't want to take SSRI's because of the "zaps" i read about on erowid. it basically permanently changes your brain chemistry even if you want to quit later. weed won't do that, you can quit it any time, it won't destroy your body's organs or make you crazy, it's just good shit that has been used for literally thousands of years. get a vape or eat it instead of smoking and it's entirely healthy. helped me a lot.

keep going to talk therapy though bro. hopefully your therapist is good, remember if they suck you can always try another. research things like what cognitive behavioral therapy is, educate yourself.
