Another day. Didn't buy nothing. Didn't sell nothing. Co-worker got a free show during lunch. He said while he was out during lunch the place he stopped at he seen some girl riding a dude in a van in the parking lot. By the time he got his food and was leaving the girl had finished and got into her car and left.

Your portfolio is too small to be worth investing. If you can't afford a few k then buy into a fund.
Don't bother with entertainment companies, they're not a good investment.

You stay cash to wait until the market confirms a direction. Buying the dip that keeps on dipping is not "buying the bottom".

Jessie made & lost multiple fortunes both long & short. He used leverage a lot & most his strategy revolved around pyramiding up. The way this tweet is worded to make out he suffered mental problems due to the 1929 crash is lame. He suicided because of his wife.

>After the crash of the U.S. stock market in 1929, he jumped into the market again, but the market continued to fall, resulting in losses.

Soon, his wife divorced him and squandered his property, and he declared bankruptcy again.

The following year, the divorced wife shot the eldest son during a drunken quarrel, causing his eldest son to be disabled.

>He finally committed suicide because of depression caused by the failure of his marriage life, rather than bankruptcy.

>>53844970
Will this actually be enough to cause a crash to happen? Has a situation like this happened before?

>>53845125
i'm either waiting for it to make a lower high or just fail completely. the bottom line kept it from going under multiple times and it breached (closed below the line) for the first time today, before pulling back up above it. A lower high should confirm a continuation back down. Even if it can't close below the line, it would still be a significant move as it continued to channel down.

>>53845000
the great depression was this+banks were allowed to all fail

I've been away for a couple of weeks. How's the market been?

>>53845209

The original 50 Cent was Ruffer. I wonder if this is Ruffer again or a copycat.

>>53845220
yeah thats basically what happened in 2008
but its not like its better, the aftermath of 2008 led to the national debt and money supply quintupling+ which will eventually set us up for a collapse that makes the great depression look like a correction

it would seem like they're running dry though. They're buying the dip at the bottom line but once it hits the top line of the channel they either sell or other people are unloading.

>credit card debt
>auto loan debt
>student loan debt
>housing debt
where retards are going on about the national debt
this is not the crisis looming on the horizon - it is that everyone is up to their eyeballs in debt with record high inflation - this is the recipe for stagflation, where the consumer cannot afford to go out and spend in the economy; their entire paycheck is going to their rent (which is also at all time high over 30% of income) and servicing their debt. the consumer cannot spend if they spend their entire paycheck on debt service
this is not even talking about the crisis when there is a modest uptick in unemployment, and all of these people are delinquent / default on their debts
>muh national debt
this is a strawman that is being created now in /smg/ - the national debt is not the crisis, and nobody gives a fuck
it's the threat to the consumer
reminder: 70% of the economy is consumption

>>53845480

Yes but Monetary Supply is working against this thesis in the current environment

>>53845500
At the very core of every economy is the faith and goodwill and the believe that the money you hold is worth something. And that worth is understood by others as well. All you have to do is convince a nation that what they hold is now worth more. If you can shift that decimal place over across the entire economy and everyone believes it to be so then you did it. Debt crisis solved.

if you make a currency deflationary (increases value over time) then you are discouraging spending.

inflationary pressure encourages you to either spend it or invest it. it also has the added benefit of reducing the value of debt, making it easier and less risky to borrow. It just helps stimulate the economy, and that's why crypto is kind of garbage since it's deflationary and will never be used as a real currency beyond drug dealing or terrorism financing

Stop punishing normal working people because youre a fucking degenerate consoomer who cant survive without cheap liquidity and learn to save money.

>>53845734
It's also how once good countries and empires fail.

What's going on with car loans, debt, and savings rates reminds me of the USA crisis from 1980s-90s, there was a huge problem with savings and loans fucking people over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis

But yeah if this keeps up with inflation not going down(possibly rising up again) and interest rates keep increasing, it will shit the bed with the biggest pile of diarrhea since 2008, I'm not joking.

MMT advocates admit printing may cause price increases as the currency supply growth outpaces growth of goods and services, the fix for which is supposedly to raise taxes (i.e. stop deficit spending).

Ofc the entire exercise is disingenuous cover for tricking people into printing and simply living with inflation: aka become Argentina. They deliberately play jewish games around insisting that the goods availability is quite elastic and productivity will grow to meet demand, to justify printing, IOW they pretend the printer can run for a while long before we see inflation because 'automation and stuff' (lolno). Also they pretend they don't know that the government would need to tax the wealthy to stop printing, and it has never succeeded in doing that because the wealthy run that shit, and so continued descent into LatAm is the inevitable result.

I don't know what wagecuck place this is but that 401K match has me jealous

>>53846521

I don't necessarily care about MMT, what I care about the most is cause and effect. If rates go up, cash flows away from equities and risky ventures into more predictable things, such as bonds and metals, for example. Or CPI and GDP affected the perceived value of a currency, etc.

Well, our stock program matches 15% (effectively a 13% buffer against drawdowns), and I think my ACB is like $90/share because of this + divvies. Anyways, it's a stable company and we've seen a lot of people shopping here... if there's a true recession, we might have a lot more profit to claim this year.
Having said that, fucking curryniggers in our area keep stealing shit and work in gangs and hit several stores in the market. We can't even check receipts if something goes off on their way out. It's retarded.

>>53846633

Metals (esp gold) move with oil, oil moves with money supply. Occasionally oil supply has a problem and grows well past money supply, but that's not happening now really. 2021-22 was just oil catching up to M2 and stabilizing. The fintwit people talking 300$ oil and underinvestment and ESG are carnival barkers who manage to do everything but look at a very simple graph of US oil production heading back up.

Otherwise I agree high risk free return kills equities. But the rates aren't sustainable and with effective M2 declining also commodities are gonna get fucked. Only winners here are short term treasuries and equity shorts.

>>53846521
Yeah high inflation and high taxes... what could possibly go wrong? Holy fuck this is retarded.

I had a shitty correlation model that suggested oil moved fairly independently from the rest of the market.
However, I'm currently trying to understand cointegration and make it more robust so I can have a much better picture of how things go.
I can also chart cashflow by sector and industry, to see where money goes during each week

It moves with M2, but also on shortage. Fortunately it's easy enough to filter out the M2 and see shortage periods.

I see reasons we could have a shortage but so far we aren't, and zero reason to be bullish on M2 growth in the near term.

>>53846795

It's not stupid, it's very deliberate deception to trick voters into thinking they can unleash a magical money fountain, and with no consequences. Many of the MMT advocates are very clever socialist zealots who know exactly what they're doing.

>>53846520
Even if people do get jobs, inflation only makes most people poorer. Historically, inflation is generally bad, trading short term prosperity for future catastrophe. There's no example in history where continued inflation didn't lead to a country eventually collapsing.

>>53846803
Just got back from there, prices are even higher than they were a month ago. Thank goodness Jerome has inflation under control though...

Bears were right dumbass, the inflation wasnt transitory and we are still dealing with it 2 years later, dumbfuck.

>>53846905
Inflation is bad for everyone outside of maybe two specific circumstances
>Government using it as an additional tax
which doesn't work well since it will also drive up yields on raising new debt. I guess it works as long as the government is keeping spending restrained at the same time
>It helps the brokest motherfucker
This only occurs when the labour market tightness is causing wage demand spiral as we are seeing right now. Five-ten years ago you would expect to make 7.50 starting for many jobs. Now the expectation is 12+ for those same jobs.

I haven't once sent cash to my broker this year. This market is a meme, total waste of time to even pay attention to with indexes just sideways for the last year.

>>53846948
At $12 an hour you'll never get an employee. You might get the absolute dregs of society that will run you out of business, but $15 is really the minimum anymore.

Oh jesus fucking christ my man, two years is miniscule on the timescales that central banks deal with when enacting policy. You guys saying this shit have to be like 15, no way that grown ass adults are this stupid.

>>53846980
7.5 was the dredges of society ten years ago too. I mean its quite literally impossible outside of many some businesses that deal in high schoolers with a high turnover paying less than that.

>>53847026
Yeah we flooded the economy and the consumer with a record amount of liquidity in the span of one year- totally transitory bro! Just wait 10 years until it works itself out! Fucking dumbass, go back to buying shares of GME.

why do i still get wet dreams when im almost 30

lately the quality of coom pics on smg have been pretty stale, maybe it's because ive gone nofap on accident for too long that the annoying (the fucking mess) wet dreams happen

It's over. Inflation will never go down again. The Fed could raise interest rates to 100% and companies would still never stop raising prices.

>>53847088
Wet dreams aren't an age thing, it's just what naturally happens when you literally can't hold in any more semen. Either clean the pipes once in a while or get used to wet dreams.

Dude, being a general manager / store manager (or whatever analogous title) at these big chain stores is a fucking insanely hard job.

You hear those stories about how you can become a Walmart, Buc-ee's, McDonalds, Costco, etc etc store manager and make 150k+ without needing a college degree. People can literally be HS dropout retards who eventually make six figures after just a few years of working in these chain stores.

The catch? Being a manager for these stores is an INSANELY grueling job. You have to be on call 24/7 essentially, you have to wrangle a team of wagie retards. You have to learn how to do a huge assortment of filing and accounting tasks. You have to learn how to communicate with corporate, HR, and other franchises. And to reiterate the "on call 24/7" part, you basically have to make sure things operate smoothly for your store from the minute you open until you close.

So yeah, you can technically become one of those "I was a dropout drug addict with no education or job experience who then turned my life around after working at Walmart for a few years and became the store manager and I make six figures now" stories....but the fact is that the type of people who work those jobs have to be on top of their shit all day long. Need to be very high functioning tbhonest.

I hate being lonely, especially on a Friday night

I wasn't hungry a half hour ago, but now I am, but I'm also too lazy to cook anything, so I'm going to walk to my local KR to buy one of their sad pathetic premade sandwiches and a bottle of KO zero
This is my life in 2023 America
Long KR and KO I guess

>>53844115
Brandy please. Leave the bottle.

>>53847206
Wow, so you're telling me it's like any bottom rung degree-required job but it pays better and doesn't require the degree? Awesome!

>>53847330
>so you're telling me it's like any bottom rung degree-required job
What fucking bottom rung degree-required job gives you the responsibility of managing an entire franchise and multiple shifts of employees at a time while you're on call for 24/7 and have to do all of the filing and accounting for?

That is not like any bottom rung degree-required job.

>>53847217
Where would there be a Kroger within walking distance? I've only seen Safeway/Giant somewhere you could walk to.

Courvoisier is good. I'll get E&J XO or something similar if I'm not trying to spend $40 a bottle. I need to try out some new brands.

>>53847404
I would go in with a professional goal and take programming classes specifically SQL or some OLAP database course. Literally the most practical thing to learn for anyone working for any business

>What fucking bottom rung degree-required job [...] you're on call for 24/7 and have to do all of the filing and accounting for?
Literally every one of them. You'll learn all about it when you are finally of age, Timmy.
>the responsibility of managing an entire franchise and multiple shifts of employees at a time
Literally any bottom-rung management role
For non-management role, the responsibilities are equivalent at best, far more stringent on average.

>>53847506
Oh yeah... it's not good
I liked the other meme flavors though

Would you buy this chart?

>>53847527
No, because I don't buy stolen goods and that's clearly property of Mott Capital.

Based I got a couple 200ml bottles of this at total wine for a decent price last month. My dad gave me some really good cognac over Christmas I don't remember the name but it was phenomenal. Im cheap as fuck so I only really buy E+J or Christian Brothers, used to buy Henny a lot as a teen but why get that for $60 when I get something else for $20 and I'm drinking it like a degen anyway

I don't like everything in this portfolio but overall it's a pretty solid set of swing trades and shows some clear decision making ability. Not getting the hate.

WBD and RIG have doubled past few months. BTU and AMR will probably double next few months.
I think betting on gold is pretty retarded and miners even more so, so I'd never touch EQX personally.
Can't really comment much on the other two, although I've always felt OSTK is just a scam of a company. At least it's not wayfair.

This. I like to start the night with a nice drink, and then switch over to E&J or something cheaper. Brandy is very underrated. Tasty mixed drinks and is perfect to drink neat.

ok i'll bite. whats this deal about mott capital and charts?

i googled them and they just seem like your run of the mill management company. am i missing something? is it because one of their founders name is Kramer?

>>53847770
idk but part of me feels like I should message that schizo and tell him to apply to Mott.

>>53847783
Just do it, at worst you'll end up like picrel

>>53847770

I am naturally a bear but I'm starting to think the stock market won't dump because more retail traders own puts than calls. If the market makers own the stock and sell options it doesn't make sense they will screw themselves by dumping their shares putting them in the money for the goyim.

>>53847803
Okay I know what the next thread OP should be

How do you decide between betting on breakout or rejection?

>thinks MMs need to own anything to sell options

>>53847839
Neither. It's literally a coin flip. Trading breakouts and reversals are silly.
For me, I prefer to wait for the breakout to be confirmed and a trend formed, THEN get into it

S&P is the poop and pee for you and me.

>>53847883
>wait for the breakout to be confirmed and a trend formed, THEN get into it
Basically still a coinflip because you can get reversed on at any time

>>53847810
At some point, rates will be so high that institutions sick of getting burned by the stock market will instead go heavy into the bond market. We haven’t hit that point yet, but we’ll be there if Powell continues his higher for longer narrative. That’ll take a lot of cash out of stocks and tank the market when it happens

Cash gang since Nov 2021 here

There is much, much more money worth of 401K boomers waiting to get rugged than there is retailfags on puts.

>>53847917
With good risk management, position sizing and trade psychology, you can actually become profitable in the long term off of coinflips. At the very least, those are going to be the biggest barriers to any trading system in the long run. After you have that down, everything just starts compounding your gains.
So having said that, that's why you wait for confirmation - the trend will LIKELY continue more often than it fails (source: my ass), thereby giving you > 50% edge

im becoming a boglehead
i didnt even know one of my tickers had earnings today

honestly i think i'll start buying index etfs going forward since clearly i can barely follow ~5 tickers already
and i probably should be diversified into more than 5 tickers now that im dipping into 6-figures (i keep jumping in and out with this volatility right now though)

>>53847986
buy into etfs in 4-6 months lil timmy
you're gonna get hooked

Does your brokerage not send you emails when a company you own has earnings/divvies?

>>53847939
Good for you anon. If you're looking for unsolicited and likely bad financial advice consider looking into STNE.

They're building strong software and fintech business. Unknown to many, their business software portfolio in one of largest with huge entry barriers in market. Be aware of the Selic rates in Brazil and as always do your own DD and don't get left holding the bag.

I'm going to start DCAing my $190k in pure hard cash into VTI/VOO once the market implodes later this year. I don't gamble
Except I have been riding the market down on SQQQ with $10k-$20k positions and have been successful. But I've been lucky.

>>53848019

Checking emails is stupid. Only people who do that are required to for work

>>53847919
>>53847954
Guess I forgot about 401k's and other investment options that help prop up the stock market. I still feel the market makers own most shares in daily trading volume. I don't see 401k's participating much on SPY's daily volume and a single retail trader would buy like 3 shares with a 1000 investment assuming they aren't playing with options. Please tell me where an 80 million daily volume comes from. It seems like it's only the big boys at the top that can afford that shit.

>>53847983
Yeah in theory a high probability setup is supposed to be 60 40, but that's close to 50 50 and someone could get reversed on every single "high probably setup".
What I'm getting at is you have to have really good intuition for what's going on and be able to gauge if the momentum is continuing or weakening.

FUCK I forgot to DCA today

>>53848050
>I don't gamble
Can't relate.

>>53848019
no, my brokerage also botched a transfer and left my LEAPS in the old broker (Disnat)
really annoying, was trying to consolidate everything to one place (chequing + investing etc + credit card) but CIBC is kinda sloppy as a bank, feels nice as a shareholder but not as a customer

frankly I might end up transferring again to National Bank once I get my $300 bonus off CIBC gives me and also since my free trades with CIBC will expire after 2 years
Disnat brokerage is $0/trade outright but they are pretty sloppy and their chequing account sucks

>>53848069
Oh sure, there's lots of factors at play; but ultimately my point was that it's not about your entries and exits, but being able to follow through the rules of your system effectively. Avoiding losses is also extremely important

Don't pay if you have a large university in your city. If you want to go to classes for this reason you can show up to anything given in a large lecture hall and nobody will notice or care you're there. This works with any class that has more than 50 students. Under 50 and professor may notice (may). I say may as there is no attendance taking and the profs don't actually know the face to the corresponding name in their class list. There was an old man who used to go to half my classes when I was in college. I asked him once whether he had a major. He told me no and he wasn't even enrolled.
