Hmm, lets see. So far 2023 is going fine for me. Pay hike; check. Debt getting knocked down; check, Emergency Fund getting stuffed; check, 401k contributions hiked; check, Divvy income going up via bagging and hikes; check. Ho hum a nice relaxing year so far. All the major shat happens things have been dealt with to.

i drive a tesla and have never used twitter. i think he's the only public figure that has any real clue or vision for what society will be like in a hundred years - certainly he has a better clue than mr. metaverse. personally i'm waiting with bated breath for the boring company's ipo.

im not saying he isnt a smart guy, im not saying he isnt "based." im saying he is an ENGINEER who clearly doesnt understand how to catch the interest of normtards.

my point is just that hed get more likes for a kitty cat playing in a fake rocketship cockpit than he would for actually launching a real one.

I live in Europe, it's hands down Pizza Hut.

>>53666164
why would you fucking ever get fastfood pizza if theres literally any other pizza available

but the answer is papa johns

>>53666183
Pizza Hut? In America that is F tier pizza. Maybe they make it better over there.

>>53666142
>my daddy’s superior to you, how dare you question him

>>53666190
cos if i want to spend $40 for dinner i wouldn't be getting pizza

>>53666198
Yeah, possibly. I've heard that McD is seen as complete cheap goyslop in America too, while it's pretty mid tier here, with honestly pretty high quality meat and even table delivery service if you want it.

>>53666211
mcd is pretty good everywhere but the USA
aussie maccas is god tier

>>53666181
bitch my business is what is allowing counties to continue to thrive. If my business didn't exist, Legit, cities would be cicked from their arbitrage. You think a city is able to get funds if their people aren't paying property tax? if the property tax isn't paid, then it gets put on the books of the county; which takes resources from real needs and future revenue producing projects. If I didn't cover the debt of dipshits who don't want to pay property taxes, literally china would scrape up your lands and sell them to the north koreans. You be happy I am vested enough to hold the debt of strangers for 18% interest; on top of principle

>>53666207
what kind of shit tier place do you live that a pizza place pizza is $40? theyre usually cheaper than chains unless the chain has a coupon. thats the only time i get papajohns, sometimes they have 2-for-1. are you europecel?

you do know he created the company just to block existing public transportation plans from happening, right? the last thing I saw of Boring Co was they created an underground loop where you can drive a Tesla to "avoid traffic" in Vegas. I swear this isn't like a schizo take, look it up.

>>53666263
It’s ok anon. I understand you’re too stupid to know how employees get paid at newish companies.

>>53666246
alright, I found the quote about him blocking transportation plans:
>Then it came to light that the world’s richest man never intended to prove out the futuristic Hyperloop technology or build the proposed suction tube. Musk reportedly told his biographer, Ashlee Vance, that the Hyperloop proposal was motivated by “his hatred for California’s proposed high-speed rail system,” which he felt would be too slow, outdated and expensive. “With any luck, the high-speed rail would be canceled,” Vance wrote.

>>53666246

if we ever want to have actual mars colonies - or colonies on any other planet really - we're going to need to do some Big Digging, with the lightest possible equipment. surface colonies aren't really viable due to cosmic rays and micro-asteroids (our atmosphere burns them up but mars's is too thin.)

outside of #spacedreams, land is very cheap underground.

ironically my first exposure to elon was regarding Hyperloop which I thought was retarded - if we can't even finagle the land to build high-speed rail in america, what are the chances we're going to finagle the land to build a giant expensive vacuum tube? the tube being "over" the land isn't a good thing - land underneath highways becomes blighted and unusable, and any hyperloop type thing would do the same thing to any land it went over.

underground is different. subways are great.

>>53666276
thats not really a charitable reading of what he said. you could equally take it as, "I hated the high speed rail project, so I tried to come up with something better."

as i said in >>53666295 i think hyperloop was/is a stupid idea compared to doing the same thing underground, but its pretty dumb to genuinely think he would do all of that out of spite for a rail project.

>>53666295
we're not going to space. we're staying right here and eating the bugs.

>>53666315
True. Populations are shrinking everywhere outside of Africa, yet people seriously think we'll be colonizing space. With what humans lmfao? We're clearly too lazy to have enough kids to even keep our population stable on our homeplanet.

>>53666295
All of Elon's public transport ideas in California were carefully planned to be completely useless, while sidelining actual plans to build a functional railroad.
The entire point was to cuck the whole state into driving Teslas forever, clogging up highways and spending hours in line for supercharger stations.

>Hope you faggots bought puts
See you smiggers on /opl/

>>53666340
What’s a smigger?

>>53666314
is it really that radical to think he would do it out of spite for a rail project? he makes cars. he has a vested interest in ensuring that public transportation sucks so that people buy his car.

>>53666348
Small Nigger, Smigger

>>53666360
Oh ok then

>>53666337
thats literally retarded and myopic

why would elon proposing a hyperloop have any real effect on efforst to develop high speed rail projects?

if youve noticed...there still isnt high speed rail being built. blaming that on elon rather than america's obsession with respecting muh property rights is just dumb.

how the hell does a tesla clog up highways any more than an equivalent gascar lmao? you can also charge at home. does your house have a gas pump?

>>53666349
are you genuinely retarded? the high speed rail project between LA and norcal would replace PLANES for that trip. which the man does not make

Sure thing faggot.

>>53666387
you can drive between NorCal and LA. don't know why you think it's impossible that he did it to keep people buying his car. I don't get how you can misunderstand this:
>Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.
it's not "hey I'll purpose something better". it's "hey I'll waste absolutely everyone's time with a plan that I have no intention of following through with".

>>53666370
I don't care enough to explain any further. Sorry. Plenty of good writing on this topic already out there. Maybe think about what I wrote previously instead of jumping to immediately call it retarded.

>>53666442
no one is buying a fucking car to drive between norcal and LA. basically everyone who does that trip regularly does it on a plane unless theyre hipsters in a band van or some shit.

i mean, people from hyperloop were at my university scouting engineers. if you really think he did all that just to spite some random public works project you are deluded.

youre at the same time saying he's so malicious that it must have been spite - because you think he's so smart that the project couldnt possibly have fizzled out because it didn't turn out to be viable in that place at that time. you evidently think a lot more highly of the guy than i do.

>>53666417
If you're doing it for ~10-25% of your holdings and not writing calls on 100% of it then I think it's viable, but writing CCs on all of it makes no sense it caps the upside way too much. And I would never write options unless IV is high enough to make it worth it so depends on timing as well

I generally do diagonals not the wheel strategy, if I'm not comfortable with naked put writing.

What are the financial implications of hundreds of small caps being forced to split because of poor market liquidity keeping them at high spreads and historically low volume?

>>53666524
Delisting

>>53666500
if you look at this handy map, you will see that there isnt much between LA and norcal worth stopping at, unless you're going to randomly swing through the central valley.

Amtrak having to stop at every bumfuck town it happens to pass through is a big part of the reason why it ISNT profitable.

have you ever ridden an amtrak outside the boston-washington corridor? thats the only profitable route. On all the rest, 95% of the stops involve one or two people getting on and off. But they can't just skip the place, because the locals have votes, and they feel like having an amtrak stop "puts them on the map", even if they never buy a ticket.

thats a big reason why high speed rail is so hard in america - every shitty tiny town that the route passes through wants the train to stop there, and trying to pass them over will get local legislators up your ass.

>>53666533
But they're forced to split to avoid that very outcome. The sheer number of them below a dollar and already on their second extension is insane.

>>53666518
starting an entire company just to vaguely meddle with one public works project - when you could just throw some money at state legislators to delay it, or purchase land in the way of the project, or fund environmental groups to raise concerns about the project - would be worse than unethical, it would be fucking retarded.

>>53666491
I would make a few spreads but their OI is shit

>>53666549
yeah and the next step is de-listing because it's bad for exchanges to have shit stocks ruin screeners with all the scam companies with zero liquidity

>>53666540
Here in Germany there are different kinds of trains for these towns.
You have fast trains that mainly go from one big city to the next and then you have slower trains then stop at almost every station.
Couldnt Amtrak do that?

>>53666477
Huh? I moved from the Bay Area to LA for few years when I was a young man. I drove back and forth all the time. I drive my kids the 450 miles or so to Disneyland still. I like having my car and my things. Flying is a huge hassle. I only do it when I go to Hawaii because it’s the only way other than two weeks on a boat.

>>53666571
compare this map of germany to the above map of california. notice how germany has LOTS of high-pop and medium-pop cities that are worth it for a train to stop at?

if you'd like to see the problem america has, consider the Amtrak line "The Pennsylvanian."

At one end, it stops in Philadelphia, Newark, and NYC in rapid successoin - these are all very populous of course, but they're very close together, and there's plenty of other ways to get between them.

At the other end, it stops in Pittsburgh, a pretty good sized city by American standards.

What's in between? Fucking nothing. But the train stops at 20 different little bumfuck towns. Altoona. Paoli. Elizabethtown. Almost every passenger is going from NYC or Philly to Pittsburgh or vice versa - almost nobody boards or detrains in the stops in the middle, but they have to keep servicing them for political reasons.

As a result, The Pennsylvanian takes 8 hours to go a distance that takes 6 and a half to drive. At least it's cheap because it's usually half empty.

>>53666644
>What's in between? Fucking nothing. But the train stops at 20 different little bumfuck towns.
You're right that this is a problem, but it doesn't have to be one. It may be politically motivated but that doesn't mean it can't be fixed.
Germany has trains that stop at all 20 useless towns as well, but then they also have faster trains that skip the minor stops, and even faster trains that cost a bit more, only make the most essential stops, but replace the need for planes.

Next week mumus prepare your anus

>>53666727
>>53666701
we've got literally one of those in america, the Acela express from boston to washington. every other Amtrak is slow as SHIT. not their fault really - between stopping in tiny towns and having to cede right-of-way to the freight companies that actually own a lot of the tracks, there isnt much they can do.

I wonder why no one ever talks about the potential of Optimus when it comes to Tesla. It could create 1T in income. Also with everyone talking about (((AI))), don’t they see that FSD is exactly that? The applications outside of vehicles are immense.

>>53666888
as far as i'm aware the FSD/autopilot doesn't "learn" so it isn't really AI, although i would love to be wrong.

>>53666896
As far as I understand, that is how it works. It learns how to drive roads and corrects its mistakes over time. Similar to how a person may initially take a wrong turn or misjudge a parking lane for a turning lane the first time they’re driving somewhere, only to correct it on the next drive having learned from the mistake. It’s not like LiDAR.

There’s no more proof than NASA has of the moon landings I suppose. Do you think it’s really faked just to drive the share price up for Elon? He seems pretty serious about it. I don’t know the guy though. Boston Dynamics seems to be pretty far ahead in AI and Robotics and has yet to release a product though and that’s all that they do. So it’s possible I suppose.

>>53667012
We see things from Boston Dynamics in that regard we see nothing from Tesla.
Pretty obvious, wouldnt you say?

>>53666988
LIDAR is just a radar-type detection system - teslas from 2018 and earlier use LIDAR in addition to cameras to map the environment. Other carmakers have used LIDAR just to implement Assisted Cruise Control or Forward Collision Warning systems.

Teslas from after 2018 use cameras only, which i honestly dont like - thats part of why i got a 2018 one, actually. LIDAR works in fog, rain, and darkness.

You could be right that FSD "learns", but if it does, I haven't noticed - on a route i take a couple times a week, it always tells me to take a left turn at this one intersection that was changed to have no left turns a while ago, and despite me always going straight there, it hasnt stopped telling me to take an illegal left. Not a big deal, but I dont think it "learns" in that way.

>>53667032
I thought all they had was a walking humanoid robot that used modified FSD to navigate its environment? thats pretty basic and if they claimed more than that its probably just hype.

Sure and Santa is real

>>53667087
that wouldnt be surprising at all...you could put FSD on an RC car and it would work the same way. no reason you couldnt put it on a basic walkbot.

>>53667111
If they had it they would have shown it and not a woman in a dress

>>53667122
i mean, it would look pretty stupid. it would just be a robot walking around a parking lot or some shit like that.

i think youre taking their claims as larger than they are. all they did was replace the car "body" with a walking humanoid "body". thats like, literally nothing at all really.

>>53667073
I agree with you about Jobs. Apple has been riding on his genius this entire time. Everything “new” is just something squeezed from his leftovers. He was probably a complete faggot, but he was a rare visionary when it came to his work.

>>53666172
There's a cuter one out there with a little clip art turkey giving an adorable Powerpoint presentation though.

>>53666644
I ride that line a couple times a year and a lot of faggots use those stops in bumfuck towns.
>usually half empty
It's sold out every time I take it, since that's always around the holidays. The line's format is designed around peak travel times.

The small stops are brief and nobody's going to change their decision on whether to take it based on whether it's 7 or 8 hours. Cutting the travel time by a decision-changing amount would require running at a much higher speed in the wilderness, but that's an infrastructure problem. The tracks aren't high speed quality and they have to wait for freight trains that share the same tracks. That's expensive to fix. Even if they did fix it, speedfags would still take planes. The train is full of poorfags and niggers.

>>53667144
They totally have this walking human robot, but dont show it to investors because it somehow would look stupid?
Sure buddy

>>53666243
I think anyone can hop onto earnings calls. Good luck getting a question in though, would require some clever social engineering.

>>53667056
If it doesn't have LIDAR it's shit. Your camera recognition turns to shit if the sun is shining directly on a point of contact or if a white car reflects sunlight into the camera during a crucial part.

>>53667170
it would probably look pretty unimpressive. i mean they had that walking robot AIBO or whatever decades ago. all they did was put FSD on that which won't look like much, and wouldn't really be distinguishable from someone using a remote control behind the scenes. so they're happy to let people dumber than you think they really have some kind of new intelligent walking robot.

>>53667073

this is true, and also Amish people, sometimes.

"a lot" of people getting on or off in those towns is maybe ten at most, out of a train of four hundred. I think only maybe literally one time out of dozens of trips did i sit near anyone who wasnt going to philly/nyc/pittsburgh.

i'm not saying they could just skip those towns and zoom on through exactly - although at least beating the greyhound's time would be a perk. really its more that, when any new high speed rail is going to be built, no city/town likes to be passed over.

in pennsylvania, for example, it would be hard to get away with skipping the state capital in the middle, and then if you're already stopping there, why not another little city nearby because you wouldn't even have gotten up to speed yet, then why not the next one, etc etc etc.

Lol I love how a drive on 101 or better yet the California 1 (highway 1) is fucking god tier since you get to drive through the coastal mountains and things like Big Sur and is objectively one of the prettiest highways / drives in the USA..... but the I-5 route in the middle of California is one of the worst / most boring drives ever, through flat ass endless farm land and the odor of cow shit

I do this drive regularly as >>53666573 this anon does. My business partners are in LA while I'm in the Bay Area so I have to go south sometimes.

While the distance between LA and the Bay Area seems huge, people make the drive very often.

Two of the largest economies in the nation, the Bay Area and the LA - San Diego metro seem pretty far apart on the map but it's not terribly inconvenient to drive out there.

Also, I think there's an Amtrak in Santa Barbara. Has two trains: Coast Starlight and the Pacific Surfliner. The Coast Starlight runs once daily in each direction between Los Angeles and Seattle. .

Also while I'm rambling about this car drive, I encourage people to take the Highway 1 drive, it's fucking gorgeous.

>>53666880
>Kek did you guys actually liquidate shkreli; on siga? What was the other stock?
I think it was SIGA, twice. Guy thought it was an actual 0 value pump and dump rather than a "let's see how this pandemic plays out" deal and got caught out on the price action.

>Is this what caused siga to get shilled here all the time after that?
Nah, /smg/ caught on to it fairly early on, when fags first came back from Spain with mpox and it was either SIGA treatment or BVNRY vaccination (both semi-untested-but-probably-effective).

>>53667189
i mean, that's why its got like seventeen cameras, but no, i agree, i prefer having LIDAR as a backup. i would honestly like it to have a LIDAR-based forward collision warning system that operates totally independently from the FSD system, in case that glitches out or fucks up.

>>53667209
Hmm I suppose I’m not quite ready to give up on the idea. But I can see the bear case you’re all presenting.

Oil? Oil.

>>53667194
i mean, yeah. just some elon tricks. its not exactly his fault that journalists will still gas up for "Wow, a walking robot!" after this many rounds of that kind of thing. the boston dynamics ones are cool as shit though. i would love to buy a military surplus minidog and take it for walks.

>>53667244
True. I go to HMB all the time just to drive the coast. If it didn’t take a bazillion hours to get to socal that way, I’d do it every time. Parts of 5 are ok, but most of it sucks. Such a boring drive.

>>53667256

>>53667244
>the I-5 route in the middle of California is one of the worst / most boring drives ever
youve never driven through connecticut i see. try two hours of literally nothing but normal ass trees on either side, without even billboards to entertain you.

>>53667254
Fuck

>>53667259
Lol I do the exact same thing with Half Moon Bay since that is the closest outlet to Highway 1 / Pacific Coast Highway for me. Drive 45 mins to Half Moon Bay, then drive down from HMB on the coast highway to Pebble Beach in Monterey county. ya know, the cypress forest where all the rich folks live.

Ya know, this place

>>53667275
Are the trees not interesting? What do you mean normal ass trees. I love looking at trees when I drive through country roads

This month I made more than min wage in my country.
I'm so close, just a bit less risk. If I can get those 8k off of something like CETES alone I'm fucking set.

>>53667286
I can’t believe how loaded people are there. I grew up in south Hayward. Seeing the wealth in the Monterey area was kind bending. And I’ve lived in LA for a few years. SoCal has nothing on NorCal fag money.

>>53667319
Good job, anon.

instead of FOMOing into oil i just bought more boomer banks (entered positions into TD and RY)
i feel like i made a mistake but i dont have the risk tolerance for oil volatility anymore, i think making 20K+ profit over 2 years is good enough, my sleep is worth more than extra gains

again i feel like this is a huge mistake but fuck man im too pussy to reenter oil

>>53667301
its like this. you literally cant see anything but some medium trees for like two hours.

>>53667344
Yeah parts of highway 5 definitely beat that.

>>53667301
now i-80 or the northway in new york, those are some good trees. rolling hills, rivers, and such. funny and weird town names. you dont get that in connecticut. its just like middle town, west haven, green burg, plains ville. at least in pennsylvania theres places named shit like wackananna, bingus creek, johnson hole, whatever. i hate connecticut.

>>53667226
More like 20% of the train gets on or off at towns, and yeah there's occasionally crowds of Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch. Are you going by people in your car and not what's happening outside on the platform? They try to organize cars by destination. I always ignore the instructions and sit where it's least crowded.

>and then if you're already stopping there
This is the point where the stopping has to stop, but yes, trying to get funding for building a new express line at the state level would be difficult if it's going to skip. It would have to be a federal project running parallel to the slow lines instead of replacing them.

>>53667333
Thanks, and checked.

>>53667336
You can go by the "what lets me sleep best at night?" rule and only throw 1%, 5%, 10%, whatever at it. Since it sounds like 0% isn't the optimal allocation for you.

Why couldnt it be private?
Isnt that how the original traintracks were build?

>>53667377
That looks like a comfy drive. I’ve only been to NY once. Took a train from GCS along the Hudson to some town in sleepy hollow or something like that. It’s where the mansion from The Royal Tenenbaums is. I stayed there for my buddy’s wedding and flew back to California the day after.

In the original days railroads were the hot new meme to pump and dump retail with. They were popping up like dog coins and half of them were about as reliable. The great railroad barons were like Elon, dabbing on shitters like what he did with crypto. Nowadays private money doesn't see potential for returns in railroads. Maybe try convincing reddit to start a meme cult around a railroad startup and scam the ESG cucks with it.

>>53667400
>More like 20% of the train gets on or off at towns
i'm sorry but there's no way that happens. i always look out the window at how many people are waiting at the platform and its often like literally two people. theres no data on this that i can find, but ive ridden that train at least thirty times. usually not during holidays, and its usually half full at most. i mean, either way, the line doesnt make a profit, not that amtrak is really supposed to necessarily.

Yeah lol the amount of money in NorCal is very underrated, people traditionally associate California wealth with families in SoCal suburbs, etc....but everyone knows the literal Rothschildren money is parked in NorCal.

I grew up near Sunnyvale, CA. There's super expensive private school called Harker near there. They literally have a building named "The Rothschild Center"

This entire school is full of mega rich whites and indians/asians and you wouldn't really even know it because its the whole "our family's net worth is almost 9 figures but we're silicon valley tech fags so we never had fashion or stylistic sense ever"

It was. You're delusional if you ever thought otherwise.

>>53667891
i suspect that people are more worried about letting a stranger in their house than they are about getting in a stranger's car. not that that makes sense, entirely, but people were already used to getting in taxis.

there's also the question of who's liable if the work is shitty or hurts somebody. with uber, if the guy's car is sus, you can just not get in, but if someone's doing your plumbing or electrical, you wouldnt really know as an average person that there was anything wrong until it starts leaking or smoldering.

>>53667870
Right now I'm downloading all 16,000 tickers, plus some other stuff like commodity and forex and crypto prices to get a snapshot of the market. I realized it's actually trivial to grab a weekly copy of the screener, run some crude filters on it to get it down to about 3000 symbols, and then automate it (via scheduled tasks) to download symbols on saturday or sunday, then run my own desktop TA against it. The advantage of doing this is that I can brute force some things that TView won't let me, such as backtesting, once it's set up.

Blew through about $1,000 across 5 trades this week, so I need to dial it back and test the fuck out of things.

>>53667950
One of my ideas was to do a sector heatmap with actual fucking information on it. If I can see even the daily or weekly change without diving into every stock, I can see where the cash in/outflows are and build a thesis on that. Eg if I see a lot of money moving out of tech stocks, I can look into the macro and make a trade based around that.
I can also correlate assets so I don't double dip on risk, other stuff.
It's a lot of work, but no individual part is difficult. It just takes time and not being distracted

>>53667933
It's sort of insane how many dipshits on /smg/ are still hanging onto SOXL trading strats and pretending like there's any edge there

>>53667996
Do you have any bond trades on, yieldcurvebro? Are you betting on a bear steepener or a bull flattener or whatever other crazy shit they get up to in that market?

i dont understand why anyone (autistic geniuses aside) would bet on themselves having better graph-divination powers than people who do this for a living.

further, if youre just sitting in your room, you don't have any better access to info than anyone else - and if you have a fulltime job that isnt in trading, you dont have nearly as much time to read up on things as people who have all day.

obviously, the answer is thus that you must gain information by prowling the streets and by sniffing the wind, as you can gain insights that traders in offices won't.

>>53667971
You can find a good ideas for finding clusters of stocks and pair trades, arb ideas, etc etc by researching examples of people doing these type of clusters/pairs trades. I'll tell you what I'm working on rn.

Basically I have 3 parts to clustering
Industry data, price data, and long term quality data. You decompose the industry data into 3 levels
>level 1 would be industry such as healthcare

>level 2 would be like drug manufacturing

>level 3 would be cancer drugs.

And obviously I make this quantitative by saying okay they are 60% cancer drugs 40% heart meds and hence they are in multiple tier 3 clusters.
Basically this part is easy, you just decompose the 2SD range with a shumway stoffer smoother because kalman is too conservative and then model the tails conditionally.

Then you decompose their returns into an alpha factor framework which when it comes down to it should basically be all value and quality signals
You feed in IV, IC, IS and their premiums to a regime shift and a Q net deep reinforcement learning algorithm where you reinforce trigger based behavior so that it sets a trigger level not just tries to actively trade the spread. You need attribute embedding with an LSTM as well to help it manage risk and an autoencoder or encoder decoder setup to denoise the data (I go further with aforementioned alpha factors)

That was excess info, but just an example of how you can cluster these assets.

Most of my book for this project is pairs trading so one week mean reversion trades. The average half life is about 7 days. And it’s a very sharp gradient in those 7 days. At a shorter timeframe this systemic trading strategy works to trade semi HFT sorta shit.

Also the complexity of what I'm doing is not because I'm looking for actual alpha / gains lol. I'm doing this to impress someone (actually two people) who can pay me more than my current wagie job

I’m so fucking sick of living in vaxxworld. Do the bad guys always win?

>>53667972
>options liquidity
Are you taking about raw shares traded on SOXL/SOXS, or the amount of OI/vol on options? Do you find options to be a driver for price action?

>>53668027
You're alive and living on your own terms. You could cause them no greater harm.

>>53668022
>Most of my book for this project is pairs trading so one week mean reversion trades
So what does that look like if you're doing an actual trade? Are you trading similar assets and taking a differential on their price action? Eg, long KO short PEP, or is it more complicated than that?

>>53667917
>he missed out on SIGA
>he will miss out on SKYT
Kek. Pathetic. Just filter the tickers if you’re determined to whine.

>>53667961
It's a real company, but the entire motivation for the pump and dump was a meme. Not even ebola tier. Not even zika tier. The only reason it got any attention at all was recency bias from people who remember covid lockdowns.
You can respond to me about how, at the time, there was all this hype and fear about what could have been, but deep down you have to know it was all bullshit. If not, then I really don't know what to say to you. If you're a true believer, then I can only hope you don't follow your false beliefs in other plays, and stick to relying on meme potential.

>>53668021
yeah you probably wont. but what happened with meta, what happened with tesla. then there's small cap stocks where it doesnt have enough market cap to make it worth it for investment bankers to analyze since they'd move the price too much buying amounts worth it for the IB salary

He's saying they were a steady company partnered with the DoD.
Smg started buying around 9ish and its baseline was $7 (before Mpoxx).
It wasn't even that risky of a play. It was a really fun time too, I think a lot of people here made a good chunk of money.

I have no idea who decided to keep holding. I know there were some schizos that thought it was going to be a huge thing, but you had half a month to sell for a huge profit.

>>53668044
SIGA was a good pump, but SKYT is just stupid. Sorry.

>Not even ebola tier. Not even zika tier.
Ebola and zika didn't have legs. No sustained transmission in the west = no $$$ for drugs. That's biotech investing 101.

>recency bias from people who remember covid lockdowns.
Nah, it was pretty clear from the get-go mpox wasn't doing asymptomatic airborne transmission or spreading in bathrooms or whatever. Woke media wasn't exactly subtle with its awkward lying.

>deep down you have to know it was all bullshit.
I don't know if you're projecting or what but the catalysts that could've gone one way or another (treatments work, vaccines work, casual spread in daycares/schools would sustain things) were all very transparent.

yeah i made money on tesla because i be sniffin the wind. every time i put my tesla in a parking garage the guy has a ton of questions, and thats a guy who sees a lot of cars. its not rare for boomers to chat me up about it when i'm putting in my groceries. people are just interested.

the stock wasnt gonna stay that low forever - and i dont think its entirely redditors driving it up as people here seem to think. ive heard more than a few old republican boomers ranting about how elon musk is a genius and going to save the country.

youre rpobably right that being turbo online is one of the few advantages, especially as a young person who has a sense of where people actually say shit thats true. i dont know if thats pol though. just because they were right about covid being a huge deal doesnt make them right about the thousand and one other things they said would end it all.

Objectively as much money was lost as was ever made on SIGA. It's trading below $7 now.

I know /smg/ likely made more than we lost though... hopefully. I was there. I'm not a momentum trader but I made a tiny play too. The vast majority of the shilling was done around $12 and that's where I bought. Then it spiked to $25 and anyone with a brain dumped.
But it was a pump and dump. This was clear from the start. When you've got people spamming custom monkey gifs and renaming threads, your bullshit detector should be flashing warning signs before you even look into the fundamentals.

True, and you shouldn't go all in on Tesla 0dte's because a couple Boomers are thinking of buying one now (especially given >>53668119). But the idea is that in your daily life, online or offline, you'll come across info that isn't splattered across every Bloomberg terminal. And that information can be used.

It wasn’t “/pol/“ that was right about CoVid. It was easy to see for anyone with common sense. I can’t believe how many people fell for it and still fall for it to this day. It’s mind boggling. My wife was working as a nurse in the CoVid wing for the entire thing and even she knew it was contrived. My job threatened to fire me, they tried to take my kids out of school, they tried to force me to mask everywhere. I will never forgive this people and I will never forget. Multitudes of people I thought had my back flipped to full on fascistic support of the global elite’s oppression of the common man. All it took was a little fear and some propaganda. Sickening.

>I don't know if you're projecting or what but the catalysts that could've gone one way or another (treatments work, vaccines work, casual spread in daycares/schools would sustain things) were all very transparent.
This is what I'm concerned about. If you're a true believer like this in some future bullshit pump, you're gonna lose everything. I'm sorry but that's the truth. Perhaps loss is the only way to learn though.
I'm fairly certain you're just coping though. You're unwilling to admit that you knowingly participated in a pump and dump. And that's fine I guess. But in that case you should just stay silent instead of trying to warp the past to your own mental fiction.

U can do pairs trade like: Hmmmm I see CELH and MNST are correlated assets. Both are energy drink stocks

U can say....hmmm cointegration of the these pairs p values is significant,,,,,lets diver DEEPER. Yes deeper drill deeper bitch u slut.

I see, so basically you look within a sector, and suppose a sector is extremely overvalued; then you long A and short B, expecting one to crash harder than the other, but using the other as an upside hedge.
So then, why not just trade sector ETFs or use options to hedge? You'd have to have pretty firm knowledge to know what two specific companies are going to do better or worse

Dumping back to its current/pre-pandemic price was absolutely one of the outcomes everyone discussed. I don't know why you think there was some delusional GME-tier cult built up around it.

Can you not understand memeing for the fun of it?

>ENERGY DRINK NIGGAS BE SHILLIN THEY ENERGY DRINK TICKER BECAUSE THEY BUY IT
NIGGA WATER IS 1,000% BETTER THAN ENERGY DRINKS, TF OUTTA HERE WITH YO DUMB TICKERS. SOXL HAS MORE VALUE THAN YO ENERGY DRINKS SINCE IT'S LITERALLY PART OF WHATEVER TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT YO DUMBASS IS USING TO SHITPOST HERE.

I am legitimately humiliated by how much I was duped. And I can’t believe there are so many who still sleepwalk. Some of the people I like and respect still have this huge blind spot.

Once you see it, you can’t help but wonder how much else you think you know is just lies.

>>53668165
The pandemic making everyone lose their minds is separate from the trade of "uh oh, coughing chinks have flown this new disease that's impossible to contain and spreads rapidly to Italy and Japan, short everything". /pol/ was just a source of info that provided earlier warning than any formal Wall Street source.

>meming and making money for the fun of it
UH DUDE THIS IS SMG ONLY SERIOUS BIZNESS DISCUSSED HERE
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BUY ANYTHING WITH POTENTIAL AND ONLY TALK ABOUT OPTIONS AND BEAR MARKETS AND HOW THE WORLD IS DOOMED BTW

kek I know, right? Heaven forbid we make some straightforward money off fag suffering and a disease with a funny name.

>>53668190
lmao /pol/ was a source of "it's just a stupid cold, it'll be over in a month"

Natty gas bros... We're going to fucking make it

>>53668195
Well SIGA and Mpox paid for my car so I'm pretty happy with it. Special shoutout to the gerbiling party that started it all.

>>53668197
Later on when sides switched, yeah. Early on there were the hypemasters claiming it was causing 10% of Chinamen to keel over in the streets. The initial western data suggesting a kill rate definitely over 0.1% (i.e. enough for people to panic) trickled in over the new year and gave you a pretty solid guarantee of a market selloff.

>>53668186
>Once you see it, you can’t help but wonder how much else you think you know is just lies.
Stop wondering if you want a normal life. Once you remove the veil, nothing is the same anymore.

>>53668165
honestly im not worried, i have schizo powers. i didnt really think about stocks at all until a few months ago when i had the urge to sell some gold my uncle left me and have some fun with the money. i havent really made money on anything but tesla yet, but ive got a good feeling about TheRealReal. we'll see.

>>53668206
Shoutout to /r/m*nkeypoxpositive that we could use as a realtime proxy for case counts

>>53668195
When /smg/ started talking about mpox, I ended up independently finding CMRX, which I still hold. I think I sold some at a small profit. I have like 300 shares until December, where they account Phase 3 trials of some cancer drug

You do exactly that for some pairs..... but to be honest anon if we're talking about making money....most of the most profitable spread trades I have ever done were on non-cointegrated time series. Lol.

I'll make this way simpler

99% of financial time series will not be cointegrated.

If they are they will be only weakly cointegrated with only the first two moments(parameters) being stationary that will most likely drift away from cointegration over time


To be honest I’ve simplified my methods for my own trades a lot and it actually works better

Mostly I just look for spreads that make economic sense

Like the crack spread and oil refineries

When I notice there is a massive disparity between the performance of the crack spread and refineries

Like there was late last year and earlier this year.


I’ll sell the crack spread and buy oil refineries


Or vice versa


There’s a few methods you can find in signal processing books


But there’s tons of different methods and variations of that method(looking at you GARCH)


But the point that matters is that is there a simpler model to explain what you are looking at


That’s what you should be striving for it to simplify models

The pairs are usually not even fundamentally related. But as I said though
Most profitable spreads will not be co-integrated

So your scans will not pick them up

The reason for that is because most of the time

The most profitable trades

Are the shit that’s never happened before

You find alpha in the shit no one has heard of

that's where alpha is

in non-obvious pairs

GAYSEX BROS
Honestly the most fun I've had in smg.
It was just so funny watching the whole thing and KNOWING you were gonna make money. The absolute seethe from Wallstreet shorters getting squeezed. The seethe from Gaysexers getting poxxed up the ass.
What a blast.
I'm sure SIGA could have gone to $50 if it didn't have the FDA corruption to deal with. I'm also pretty sure that's why the CEO retired recently, he couldn't deal with it.

>>53668219
Yeah that one struck me as more of a traditional smallcap biotech. Could fail some trial and drop to 10 cents, could succeed and moon to $10, could become a literal PnD and shoot to $20 out of nowhere. Too risky for my blood.

>>53668226
now thats reddit spacing! i warned everyone they didnt know what true reddit spacing could be. its pagefilling! so dootworthy.

>>53668231
EXCUSE ME, HERE'S A SINGLE HISPANIC LADY WHO CAUGHT MPOX. IT'S NOT A GAY DISEASE, BIGOT!

>>53668165
I absolutely loathe society because of covid now. I used to find pleasantries in it here and there but since then I cannot bring myself to give a fuck about anyone or anything. Still to this day I see people wearing masks and instantly I want to go into self defense mode as violence wells up inside me.

ou do exactly that for some pairs..... but to be honest anon if we're talking about making money....most of the most profitable spread trades I have ever done were on non-cointegrated time series. Lol.

>>53668237
Well, if you do the thing where you risk 2% balance per trade, it's only a $200 loss when all is said and done, if I"m wrong. So no biggie

The best is when you'd see people wearing masks in while being alone in a car.

>>53668247
honestly im gonna keep wearing masks on the train or if i have to go somewhere with a bunch of nasty people. theyve done it in japan for decades.

when i worked as a barista years ago, i caught the flu twice and colds like five times in a year from getting so many peoples germs on me through talking to them and handling money. fuck that.

>Can you not understand memeing for the fun of it?
You think those 99 crypto shitcoin threads on the board are also just out there memeing for the fun of it?
Memeing can be entertaining, but on a financial forum like this it also serves as bait to get others to buy in. Even if unintentional, that's just the way it works. People chase momentum, new plays, new tickers. Then they win or they lose and they move on, except for very rare cases like GME where it becomes some permanent cult of suckers. Anyway, it's not worth debating any further.


Fuck taxes by the way. Literal theft. 42% of my gains just outright stolen.

STOCK MARKET HALTED FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT, WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?

Siga was a good time. Spent my weekends in the pool with my kids and shitposting with bros. Made $2500 on it too. Bought my wife a nice set of Pearl earrings.

its not the spaces, contrary to what people say here, its putting each of your statements on a new line, which makes your comment turbonomously long. write normal sentences dingus.

It’s a false sense of safety. It does next to nothing. A properly fitted N95 can have an effect. Surgical and cloth make less than a 1% difference. And don’t argue with me. Numerous studies have been done. If you believe they work, I don’t think you’re stupid. You just haven’t done your DD.

>>53668322
why do surgeons bother wearing them then? just for blood spatter? good enough for me. these hoboes are spewing all sorts of gunk.

Surgical masks keep junk in the surgeons mouth as I understand it.

>>53668329
Ideally Surgeons should be forced to wear full air tight face masks and operate in completely sterile rooms.
Good luck getting them to do it though.

>>53668289

Lol.

>>53668329
Surgeons wear them to prevent large droplets of spit from entering the body cavities that could lead to infection. Respiratory illnesses are aerosols. The particles are far too small to be trapped by a mask. They’re about as retarded as those plexiglass screens they installed everywhere. The patient doesn’t wear a mask. The surgeon does.

we're getting....somewhere....

>>53668356
i mean, if the mask gets wet when i breathe on it, it's absorbing something.

Hence the less than 1% efficacy. Instead of a 30% chance of catching a bum’s cold, you now have a 29.75% chance. But hey, let’s arrest people getting a cup of coffee because they’re not in compliance.
