Rumors are circulating on russian telegram channels about the speech scheduled for tomorrow by president Putin, unknown leakers from the kremlin have confirmed these points:

- Russia will officially send an application for the annexation of Crimea and Donbass in the Russian Federation to the UN, if refused Russia will declare war on Ukraine with the objective of dissolving its government and its military at all costs, with the full employment of all its arsenal and the targeting of decision making centres

- An immediate warning will be sent to every Ukrainian, urging all civilians to escape the country and all military personnel to defect or surrender, they will have a week (some say a month) to do so after which everyone remaining will be treated as a combatant

- Strikes and bombardments will be announced a day in advance to allow evacuation of remaining civilians, they're trying to do this the "moral way", but the main objective remains the complete obliteration of Ukraine by all means, except nuclear

>>53786292
I hope so. This market is in serious need of some volatility.

anon can’t show me a single destroyed HIMARS. kek

>>53786292
So do we buy Raytheon again? Who's the mil-tech meme this time?

Alright it is a new thread guys. Try not to be such massive chuds in it this time.

>>53786310
SKYT unironically.

>>53786292
This will either last 3 days as Putin blitzs Kiev or 3 months as Russian equipment all breaks down and they run out of ammo and run back to Moscow.

>>53786292
>they will have a week (some say a month) to do so after which everyone remaining will be treated as a combatant
lmfao, at least make it believable

>>53786292
>Rumors are circulating on Asian scat channels about the scat fest for tomorrow with Putin Schlomovich, unknown scat fans have confirmed...

Honestly, a nuclear war ending the Moscow niggers would do me well. I say let Moscow initiate the end of the world.

As much dd as I dropped on natty gas bull market coming. Im still down 20% or more on my LNG long.

>>53786304
Well the White House denied any were destroyed so they probably all got wiped.

>>53786292
>russia will declare war
Am I retarded or aren't they already at war

>>53786292
Except Putin already annexed the land? Also Ukrainian (civilian) can stay if they want to.

>>53786292

is it time for the natural gas reversal now bros?

Am I to trust them now?

>>53786336

>>53786339
Special military operation

I'm considering opening a brokerage account in Sri Lanka. What are the best brokerages in Sri Lanka for US based investors?

>>53786359
Then why are their niggers crying about warcrimes?

>F, because tanks need an American chassis.

>>53786363

>>53786353
Nah I think I bought a a long right before carli dumped his bags on me cutting his stake in LNG.

>>53786359
Well they couldn't handle their special ops so I doubt they can handle an actual military operation

>>53786377

>>53786391
they've lost 3000 tanks so far. They may have another 7k, but at this rate, and if they go nuke, not invading them is a mistake.

I think your best bet is to buy and hold companies that will continue to grow and thrive regardless of economic conditions, instead of trying to predict an unpredictable world.

Anyho...
Medical facilities, companies, etc etc.
Who should I be looking at that isn't focused on housing old farts?

So far 2023 has been a bull market for mexico and metals. 15% ytd so far for eww and xme. When will the recession bogeyman come back to rug the softlanders

>>53786338
The whole war is on camera. Just show me a single instance of HIMARS being destroyed. Name any Russian vehcile in theater and I’ll show you it’s burnt out husk

Hello, please dump Tesla tomorrow. Thanks.

The Ukraine War?
Complete fabrication. Stanley Kubrick filmed it all.
>>53786377
The rare Kitty Bart

>>53786426
How the FUCK did they lose 3000 tanks already?

>>53786427
It's not about predicting the unpredictable, but rather reacting to the events as they unfold.
Our biggest edge as small individual investors is that we can surf the daily liquidity to enter and exit positions on the fly before the big boys can push their offers.
And if some fund decides to dump full out, we can profit off the collapse that inevitably results from a huge block of shares sold into the void, both by frontrunning via shorts on the way down and longing shares on the ride back up as balance returns.

>>53786486
Hohols have already lost like half their country. How much of Russia is occupied by hohols? This is how you keep score. Turns out the hohols are actually LOSING, and my boy Putin is #Winning #TigerBlood #SevenGramRocks

Question for smg

>>53786486
Buddy I just gave you gold-standard evidence. The burden of proof is now showing 20 or 30 or however many HIMARS we sent all simultaneously operating.

I'm not saying they're *all* dead, mind you. Just that, rationally speaking, it seems quite a few were blown up.

>>53786538
Do they even make the same things? Or are you one of those people who just think "semiconductors" are a homogenous commodity?

>>53786514
This page lists attempts to document Russian losses, and only shows those vehicle losses that correspond to an image someone took. There will have been losses behind lines and out of camera view that were missed.

nigger. the more you blood thirst for Ukrainians, the more I think it's time to end Moscow. I was against Killary and co., but you niggers are insufferable.

POWW

>>53786580
The hilarious part is this is their performance against Ukraine. Imagine if poland gets involved or god forbid America. Russians would get stomped so fucking hard lol

>>53786554
CAN you answer that question? I'm not being facetious; I would like to know. Like, Micron does something completely different and valuable. You're posting two companies against each other in a binary fashion and I want to know if they really are competitors.

>>53786580
>nigger. the more you blood thirst for Ukrainians, the more I think it's time to end Moscow.
What sort of mental illness is this? Did Zoomer recruits all get mindbroken by losing to the Taliban? Or hundreds of hours of diversity training?

Also short POWW because their ammo quality is shit.

>>53786578
lmao. why the fuck would you copycat some 19 year old emotional teen

Reminder that russia's stock market is barely 150 billion. Making it smaller than costco, mcdonalds, and even netflix

>>53786640
Haha, I wasn't really super convinced on the company and sold for a 15% profit within like...a month?
I sold all my shares and put them in SKYT so I did make more anyways.

>>53786648
Can you phrase that in terms of Walmart locations?

>Dumb Zigger faggots think their favorite funkopop soldiers are doing anything but being meatground

I haven't paid attention to the market in 2 fucking weeks since it's so fucking gay but here's how winning looks like.

>>53786709
I feel ashamed I get this image.

>>53786460
I don't understand investing in healthcare or medical stocks at all. You can look at oncology, orthodontics, ophthalmology or any field and find a dozen companies doing the same thing with no competitive advantage between them.

My cat just told me there is going to be a big Putin-pocalypse on Tuesday.

You

>>53786694
A little more than Walmart Gross/year.

>>53786715
It's okay anon, money doesn't stink.

You DID make some money in those times, right? You're not a baggie, right anon?

Right?

>>53786729
My only negative bag is KR at -1.1% Feels bad man.

>>53786715
I feel good about remembering what this image means

>>53786714
stupid hohols actually believe they are winning when their entire country is a fucking pile of rubble. How much of Russia has been reduced to rubble?

>>53786757
Nice try with your inspect element trick, but you made a typo with the decimal places and commas.

>>53786762
>notice me senpai!
Russia needs to collectively get a date.

>>53786541

Kek

>>53786762
Not enough. This war continues until there's a drag queen story hour in Red Square or every Ukrainian is dead.

>>53786768
Did you just call me a liar?

>>53786771
I mean it's fine if people want to support the nazis in Jewkraine but to think that they're actually winning just shows the power of propaganda.

>>53786781
No, just a little cheeky American joke.

>>53786778
Told you. This nigger is a Kremlin basement dweller.
The good thing, they believe their propaganda. The unfortunate thing, they believe their propaganda.

I hear it every time I post anything from my portfolio, which unfortunately got old. I appreciate the effort though. Cheers.

All of the conditions are right for a crash to happen so why doesn't it happen? You know what? It's probably too soon for it right now. the 2008 crash didn't take place until september when there had been worries about it long before it just like now when things were going bad to worse in 2022

The people who are supporting the hohol nazis in Jewkraine are the same people pushing to sexualize children, the castration of white male youths and make everything tranny and racemixxing normal. When you look at it without the spin of the lamestream mainstream media its quite simple to see what's going.

>>53786568

>>53786284
Oh hey it's the mobile-posting faggot.
>>53785461

I genuinely do not care if Russia or Ukraine win. Can you fags not shit up the thread. Russia either declare war or shut the fuck up

>>53786815
Then your the same person who cheers when a Russian missile kills children.
Your high ground is nil.

I accept the premise of total war, when you're ready, don't say Go, just do it.

should I sell oil

>>53786790
I'm not, but there's no saner war goal or end state for our side that matches the facts. Why'd we make a move on Putin's puppet in 2014? The stars aligned? We really, really wanted some wheat?

Or some fags at State got mad about Putin's anti-gay shit and decided to make a move. The money laundering and defense contracting helped it escalate, and now we're in a 'nam situation where backing down isn't possible.

>>53786556
I sold at $46 after buying at $30
It's ok, profit is profit. Better wait for another opportunity patiently than stress yourself about not timing your trade perfectly.

>>53786828

>implying hohol missiles haven't killed innocent polish civillians and article 5 of the nato charter should be triggered on the Jewkraine.

>>53786556
That dumbass stinky pajeet decided he didn't like Jxn anymore at 33

>>53786860
It's not possible to get every trade right. Instead you should have a system that works longterm on many trades. Maybe the indicators used by Berkshire didn't work best for TSM, but prevented them from having awful trades in past, improving their performance over long period of time.

>>53786860
What was the point of that short-term trade? Was that always the plan?

fuck I made a spelling error, never mind just buy soxl

I don't know why I had the page liked in the first place, but Microsoft is distancing itself from Bing.

>>53786871
Literally not how war works.
If you don't study actual wars, you mistake wonderwiz and numeric superiority for everything.
You can stat-play wars all you want, there are advantages.
Real war has so many factors that make zero fucking sense to a machine, and are completely reliant on uncontrollable inputs, that such claims are only useful as propaganda.

The winning move is not to play, but Russia doesn't seem to know that yet.

is there a point where it makes sense to swap from a roth 401k to a traditional 401k? I'm 28, last year reported six figs during the bullrun in 2021, reporting still like $95k this last year. Feels like it might be a waste at this point?

>>53786292
first post : nothing will happen, because nothing ever happens.

>>53786893
I mean they bought incredibly low at $60. And TSM is currently building absolutely massive fabrication plants. They will have a complete monopoly on 2nm and 3nm chips and have already made deals with both intel and apple and other companies. Like fab plans dedicated to entire companies.

This won't make an impact until they come online in a year or so so BH could have made easily 2-4 times profit. No fucking idea why they sold at $70, its been holding at $90 and the PE ratio is barely 13

>>53786939
Just stop giving them attention. Honestly, they're doing this because they feel inadequate. Giving them attention will just get more of the same.
We're gonna have to figure out a way to spank the fuck out of them, without making a big deal of it.

>>53786902
>The winning move is not to play
so russia should of let themselves be encircled by hostile nations? real war can be summed up as the number of people and the force they apply based on desire to fight

>>53786881

Why would you use windows? I understand buying their stock but why use their products?

tanks are all rusted and missing parts. and russia has no working nukes since the 70s. all scientits smart enough fled the country and went to china or america and all the military budget was stolen by corrupt officials.

>>53786840

Partly because of one insane Polack's raging hardon for the US to fight his ethnic grudges, but also it was pushed by a bunch of Russian Jew diaspora in the US who are still buttmad about Kievan Rus absorbing Khazaria, and later Stalin cucking them out of their Bolshevik empire and Russians generally being meanies to their ancestors.

The polack in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard

TLDR we wanted to drag Russia into another Afghanistan and re-run the same playbook (long costly war plus choking off export revenues) that broke the Soviets to try to finish the job and turn the remnants into puppet states. Ukraine was to be the new quagmire. For numerous reasons I don't want to effortpost about there is no chance in hell this will work, and actually it will backfire horribly.

TLDRTLDR: shoulda listened to kissinger, soros a big retard

>>53786922
so should we pull out completely?
I'm over invested in the s&p

pls help anons im new a company used to manage and im trying to be more proactive but I dont even know where to start

So if I use the Black-Scholes model for pricing options and I find that the market price is higher (say it should be priced at 40% IV but the market lists it at 70% IV), what does that mean?
Is this an inefficiency in the market, is the market being greedy, are they pricing in additional risk? Liquidity?

>>53786944
If you're maxing out 401k and IRA contributions, switching to a Roth for both generally gets you "more" tax-advantaged space since you leave fewer dollars in the normal, taxable bucket.

Switching to traditional can make sense if you think future tax rates will be lower (lol) or your income in retirement will be lower.

>>53786974
Glide slope captured.

>>53786926
Nice, can you discuss their payment models? Do you know how they bill for services? Are they insurance tied, pay as go, pre-pay, lien attached?

Indeed, it's shameless to remove MottCapital copyright marks with AI. Especially since Mr. Mott Capital was the one doing the interview

>>53786967
what? Anon is right for now its all about financing, speculation on capabilities and production is in the end just shitposting and trying to make a buck. though I would say 10 years would only need to hit 4.xx%, because at that point 2y and shorter would fly north of 7, and there is Rothschilds maybe looking itno giving the Russians a few private loans after taking their house private

>>53787017
honestly not maxing out anything (other than IRAs and I don't even know if I'm gonna do that this year). I just hit my 401k match and invest the rest in taxed accounts

>>53787006
Look, there's no way it's *always* the Jews.

...Oh, who am I kidding?

>>53786944
I'm in a traditional so I'm not in the next tax bracket up. My plan is to have my final W2 place me in poverty tier so I can pull out of that account tax free.

Wow cool story. Lets all pretend it might be real and it wouldn't immediately be veto'd.

shit fuck god fucking damn it
why are futures closed already now i'm locked into paying overnight interest for the privilege of holding though a potential mumu faggot rally in 3 hours

spoilers it won't rally tho

>>53787038
Rothschild taking their bank private is fuck all important. It literally just means they decided there wasn't enough gain playing retail capacity in France when their Returns will get them better % without having to share. That could, in theory, mean France is in trouble, or it could mean France is about to boom, and they saw no reason to share.
The decision is neither here nor there on their longterm, nor on their international funding choices.
If they were paying a divy, it's a velocity change for French economics. That change, however, having come from repurchase, is frontloading those expected divies, so no real change in the long run, the market will buffer that shit.

>>53787026
No. All I knows is my grandpa was paying cash for a buncha dudes to care for him in his house because he wasn't going to hole up in a nursing home. I imagine most boomers will do the same. My grandpa could afford it solely off his oil dividends, but he didn't think about the costs or how to pay.

>>53787134
Personally I'd see if India stays neutral then go all-in on INDA. This is the 21st century so an actual (non-nuclear) WW3 wouldn't mean something like SKYT or domestic weapons manufacturers or oil producers are untouchable.

The Obvious Is Obviously Wrong.

When will SMG LEARN?

>>53787198
That's exactly the right attitude. You're alive, there's nothing in the past that can be undone without some work. But if the work is visible, than just undo it.
And if it isn't, you're still alive, go do anything else.
We have bankruptcy courts for a reason.

>>53787201
INDA is in general a great long term play

I would add to this: whoever can scale up non Chinese manufacturing of drones to sell to the US military. We've got a lot of catching up to do in all aspects of their manufacture.

I can tell you right now: drones are going to be the #1 recipient of future military funding. The Ukraine business has made their utility in warfare crystal clear to all sides.

Maybe he's just taking back his principal and letting the rest ride. He only sold 86% of his holdings. The appreciation basically gives him free TSM shares, although not as many as he would have had if he stayed "all in". Things change, one speculation is he's buying up other things due to new developments in the he news. Like buying up railways is one speculation I can think of. Or maybe the TSM buy was just a pump and dump to get SOXLtrannies excited and take their meager possessions if they did TSM copycat plays.

Roth probably wins out long term unless you're past the 24% bracket, or you have state income tax as a factor and think you might someday live somewhere with no state income tax.
Also if you're capping it out, then roth wins guaranteed since you can put the same amount in, except it's already been taxed. Effectively you're stashing more.

>>53787706
>buying gas stations when EVs are around the corner
lol

You guys think the stock market should have kept downward crab crashing after jimmy carter regardless of the internet economy? Ignoring the gold preachers/fiat lecturers I really cannot think of any legitimate productivity innovation since the microprocessor in the 1970s. That and culturally there has been no "great" men since to humbly seek new frontiers. Boomers like michael saylor who are supposed "geniuses" of the tech boom just come off as smarter manchildren at best with feminine egoism traits, and I really do not believe in any kind of value to AI as researchers in the field are biased towards IQ inflated atheists that would be considered slightly towards the right bell curve IQ 150 years ago, not profound thinkers. META blowing their money on dead VR and coming up with subscription service justifies my thinking here in that endless money cant solve problems. Schiff is probably right about gold miners theres always something in hard metals.

Sometimes a business will remain unprofitable by design, which will act as a tax loss harvesting scheme and also claimable depreciation of assets. More common with eg laundromats, vending machines, car washes

>>53787951
Think of it as remaining market neutral. You still generate revenue from your other investments, and it's not like the business is hemorrhaging money, it just won't ever become net profitable (due to loans, expenses etc), but it also doesn't increase your total tax liability. Depending on your PPE you can claim them as depreciation of assets which offsets the gains your business makes. Over time, the land will also appreciate in value.
It's complicated and unintuitive process that I haven't looked into because my tax code isn't fucked like the US's, and also I don't own any businesses. But this sort of shit does exist for high net worth individuals

ok so i get it now that you mention land appreciation, it's basically just a property play that pays for itself in the meantime

but im in the stock market general, so i'd obviously rather earn a nearly zero 8% yearly return than a riskier bet like the gas station/land play. I'm against the leveraged mortgage renting stuff too but recognize it as a potential way to make money as well

/smg/ is one of the few tolerable threads on the entire board, and it's a weekend. Really, any kind of comfy investing topic fits in here imo.
There's a proper way to take on leverage and debt without losing your ass. The improper way is doing the Air BNB meme that a lot of boomers did over the last few years and took out chains of loans on their house to buy a rental property to buy a rental property, and then oh look, they can't fill them with tenants 100% of the time and start defaulting.

The point is, you want to be diversified in all areas; you want different asset classes, even within each asset class should have multiple exposures, and several different income streams.

That's why I like the stock market, i can just write options on margin for additional gains rather than having to worry about assholes trashing my rental.

Ahh, then it will depends on your expected returns and your expected retirement tax liability if you want a nerdy "acshaualy" answer, but I favor 401k because you can never untax your Roth, having pretax contributions AND no tax compounding is difficult to beat

It's a legitimate concern and it terrifies me as well. I keep my own costs low (no vehicle) and rely on public transport to work. I can't afford paying $200,000 down payment on a house in this area. Imagine I somehow had that kind of money and got a rental, suddenly get hit with all sorts of overhead costs and to top it all off some asshole tenant causes several thousand dollars in damages from whatever bullshit. Awful. I would happily invest in a REIT or other PMG style company instead

My municipality is adding coal fired plants to handle the load. Which is fine by me, some faggy startup found a way to convert every coal fired plant to nuclear. So coal now means nuclear when I'm dead, which benefits my gene seed.

>>53788098
not on hand sorry, but it said in the best year it was around a 4% out performance, and when you calculate churning costs and timing lag then you are probably going to lose money overall. I did find this article though, havent read it but skipped to the tables and it seems to also support my conclusion
https://acfr.aut.ac.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/294287/The-Myth-of-Sector-Rotation-non-blind.pdf

that being said there are obvious sector overperforms like in 2022 tech was extremely high. you could make money shorting nasdaq at 3x and longing nyse/s&p500 at 3x just because of how many zombie companies there were in a future high rate environment

but I dont consider that traditional sector rotation where you shift to consumer staples in recessions, it's just fundamental analysis

>but I dont consider that traditional sector rotation where you shift to consumer staples in recessions, it's just fundamental analysis
I like to think about the broad macro factors, stuff like interest rates (and foreign rates), GDP, bond yields etc etc and see where the markets might be heading. So like, if I know equities are likely to suffer a downturn, and I know that historically money moves to forex, bonds, and PMs, I can try to move to those asset classes before the event. That sort of stuff.

>>53787671
>>53787680
You must be thinking of $1.5b traded because that means nothing (think Bernanke and Krugman trading $20 back and forth to eat shit), it's $1.5b "dumped", that means added, as in it's money that stays. And you can't compare it with fake market cap money either. In a day.

Charging overnight would allow for more baseload power generation by smoothing out the bottom of the demand curve. This is good for nuclear/coal/hydro, and means we would need less peak power compared to the trough.
The modern solution to grid issues is usually just have more gas turbines that you can start and stop easily.
