Aaaand then we dump

>>55166346
Aren't you all dead yet?

>>55166359
>dead
Im down like 5%, is this seriously the best ya got? Bulls are pathetic.

Is Hunter Biden actually in a relationship with his niece or is that republican propaganda?

>>55166346
How many more highs of day before the dump?

here comes the last minute pump on SOXL

IRBT

You bought calls right anon?

>>55166382
it won't pump because i bought this morning

>>55166359
I was only ironically bobo posting, my folio is setup for crab to slightly down. even this retard pump I'm only down 1.44% the last two days. which will recover if we close below $429 on friday.

>RSP 2.18%
The average Shit&Poop 9000 stock is up 2.18% today, and it's even more in the Russell 2000 lmao. It's a topsy-turvy day where lower cap = bigger gains.

>>55166380
Not sure, dont care where it goes before the EOD dump

>>55166378

I'm looking at Softbank, and Yokogawa, and Yaskawa.

Cash gang... we going in here or is it a fake out?

>job market on fire with way more numbers

uh oh, powell might do more rate hikes again

The illuminati gives you clues about what is going to happen. Biden fell again yesterday which means shit is going to hit the fan soon.

>>55166575
Rape hikes have been priced in for a while now

>>55166575
As of yesterday, nope, he folded. His proxies are spouting "We're just skipping June. We'll hike in July, we swear!" as the current copium.

>>55166575
Who cares? More jobs means more money which means more spending which means better earnings

>700 points
Surely this is natural growth.

I'm now 100% cash tell me why I'm wrong

>>55166441
so its m2 is taming inflation and implying a 'return to normal' because then they can lower interest and create credit. maybe we'll get some bearish moves down in form of crab in the meantime. my hypothesis only

whats their divie yield?
I dont like JP stocks because their central bank owns over half the stock market, their population is dwindling, their corporate structure is calloused, making it anti-innovation

Behold my TA. VIX to 0 on June 15th.

>>55166625
all in on anything is generally a bad idea. Through active rebalancing, you can profit off volatility.

>>55166575
Yeah wtf I thought Powell wanted to heem the job market

>>55166587
Not that deep. He's an elderly man suffering from dementia. He fell and pooped his pants, that's it. Pelosi and Schumer cleaned him up and gave him an ice cream, then returned him to the white house basement.

I'm convinced that the algos and faggots selling off spy are virgins. Such vitriol. What a lust for vengeance

>>55166676
because the job seeking process is demoralizing for such a low reward as 13-15 dollars an hour not working from home.

>>55166575
Wonder what sort of jobs those are?

>>55166602
wonder if the fed will do an 'emergency' announcement like the last few times kek

UNH boomer bros, hire we're feeling today? I'm thinking more calls Monday morning

>>55166621
its natural alright

>>55166703
Can the VIX go negative?

If SOXL doesn't reach 24 dollars by close I am deleting my name

>>55166716

Assuming it keeps dumping and they run out of space to store physical VIX shares, sure it can go negative. I'm clearing out my basement now, throwing away piss jugs and all. I missed negative oil in 2020 but I'll be shittin if I miss the great VIX crash of '23

What happens when my puts expire in the money? Will my broker just give me cash and take a fee or something?

>>55166789
Oil prices have fallen significalty despite what I would've thought going into summer. I can't see them cutting right now but these last 3 years have consistently made no goddamn sense.

>>55166838
Oil producers had enough of parting with their finite product for less and less (inflation adjusted) compensation.
OPEC will cut many more times.

>>55166852
they expire. gone forever. thanks for playing.

>>55166550
I own JPXN because despite me frequently doing JP language immersion I know very little about their business world - I mostly watch classic films and recipe videos on youtube.

I also own a tiny amount of CJPRY because my dad (a notoriously bad investor) once told me to invest in what I believe in. Well, I love the shinkansen, so there you go. I bought it in 2020 hoping it would bounce back once tourism returned to Japan but it hasnt happened...

Greetings to India and Pakistan, my fellow sirs

>>55166680
Doesn't matter what they do or don't do, in the 74-80 range oil will dump hard back down to 64 because of the winter->summer oil shift that happens every year around the second week of june. It is one of the few things in the market you can say "I can time this".

Min wage needs to be doubled, the more-than-min-wage standard should be about 23 bucks and a college degree- any degree- should net you 30 bucks an hour. The fact jobs will ask for experience and a degree for 20 an hour is why no one bothers to work, because the wages are pathetically low. I just lie to retarded recruiters now because you want 10 skills for a 20 dollar an hour job wfh you better be willing to accept laborers who only know the skill in the loosest possible fashion. Fuck em.

Everywhere I go I see food on sale and apartments offering a free month of rent because no one is buying or renting. Companies want prices to stay high, but they won't take the necessary step of un-inflation.

>>55166691
I mean whats the thesis with those?
if its just >muh robots - then there are dozens of other companies building industrial robots

i know so many people 20-30 not working, underworking (part time only to fund fun things) or doing their own thing for money, there is no incentive to work anymore and employers and the government need to drop the boomer mindset. My one viable job offer from 400 jobs applied for in the past year was a part time contract from zillow, which didn't invite me to an interview for months, and the interview was an hour long panel interview for a 20 hour a week/ 3 month contract for 12 dollars an hour. insane.

you probably need to be married or something. they dont give adoption kids so single guys in most countries. maybe in the 3rd world country they would be able to adopt if you like rich westerner but bringing adoption kids to another country unless married couple prolly not

>>55167248
It's much easier with a partner. Just setup a fake relationship so you can sell that stability when you adopt. As soon as the papers are signed, you can go your separate ways.

>>55167250
Just remember, without hamchads the markets would fall flat.

>>55167294
It's the sugary shit (mochas, frappashittos, etc) that have those calories. A basic black coffee from starbucks is still just coffee, assuming you dont put cream and sugar in it.

It's all highly correlated with the S&P like probably 90% plus correlated. You need something market neutral like some kind of iron condor or maybe option calendar strategy right now since volatility is so low. As far as your stocks you may as well just go all in SSO and be done with it. If you want some "diversification" in equities then 20% SSO, 20% QLD, 20% SSO. Then with the remaining 40% of your money do some VIX trend following, maybe short VXX with puts, butterflys, etc. and go market neutral with the iron condors, the latter will be mostly uncorrelated with your stocks

>>55167645

>not just letting it sit in HOOD making 4.65% in between trades

>>55167671
pull some money out and deposit it with a different broker and do the options trading there. The problem with your portfolio currently is all equities everywhere are highly correlated. Zoom out on every major index worldwide and they all look practically the same. Only difference is US indexes mostly outperform. Even bitcoin is highly correlated with the S&P. Look at every major bitcoin dip and every major S&P dip over the last several years and see how much they line up. To truly diversify you need an asset class uncorrelated with equities and the most accessible asset available is market neutral option selling. Going forward stocks aren't likely to maintain the tailwind they had with ZIRP and infinite QE (current retard pump notwithstanding). Study up on it and get started is my best advice

>>55167705
AMZN massive dump it is

>>55167682
No, you make money by being smarter than market beta. You do pair trades. Such as long MSFT, short GOOGL on a 1:1 basis. Or long SPY short IWM on a 1:1 basis. Long Japan short China on a 1:1 basis. This makes it so you are not just riding market beta up and down all the time. And if you only run 100% gross but net neutral, you can invest the cash in t bills.

>>55167590
just set a trading system for TQQQ, ignore anything else. but if u are buying leveraged etfs without stop loss u are retarded.

>>55167749
can you provide proof this beats holding SPY

>>55167698
lol

>>55167775
Over the long term it might not (it all depends on how smart you are, you could overperform or underperform), but it will HUGELY reduce your volatility and not subject you to huge drawdowns as long as you position size correctly and don't take wrong sides all the time.

whats next? the medical sector (LABU) looks like its moving up from its bottom. Oil too? Or is it time for SQQQ? need some macro bros here to explain whats happening.

also, Im considering just becoming an option seller for small, reliable amounts of money. question is, is it really reliable and safe? theta gang, give me the facts.

FYI everyone, this is a top signal.

>>55167882
Could you at least post your hand for some clarification?

>>55167827
thetagang shit is a great moneymaker if you do it right. I switch off between calendar spreads and iron condors depending on where volatility is. When the VIX is under 15 or so I do calendars otherwise IC. I sell 60 days to expiration and close when either I make or lose 50% on the trade. The reason you want som volatility with iron condors is they are vega negative. When volatility goes down the iron condor loses value which is what you want when selling. Therefore if you open the IC when volatility is really low, then vega has only one way to really go which is up and this hurts you. Calendar spreads are vega neutral which is why you switch to those when the VIX is at or under 15. Also only run your strat on highly liquid ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, etc. that way the spread is tiny. This is important for multi-legged strategies. I'd suggest keeping your short legs with a delta of 0.15 or less. Higher than that and the body of your condor is too narrow

No that's optimism. Trying to call the Top is a bottom signal.

>>55167827
pretty safe all I do is sell options and play debit spreads. take small humble gains before they expire.

My American buddy used to go to Costco, buy the large crates of monster energy (80+g sugar/can) and order pizza hut every 2 days with 2 large pepperonis + wings. He blew up 200+lbs and finally stopped when he was producing black tar in his shit. He's since dropped back into healthy levels but you mutts charge 18 quintrillion for a C scope up your ass, so he as no idea if he's dying of ass cancer

>>55167899
you are talking about some more advanced options trading. maybe i should finally learn about all that. the part of volatility made sense though, and i understand how it affects options. I was more thinking of finding a stock that sticks to its bollingerbands consistently and then selling either puts or calls depending on where the stock is at.
since you sound like you actually do this can you give advice on position size? say Im working with 30k and I want to grow it. you mention losing 50% so that obv. implies not using all of it. how do you divide it up? and also can i reliably grow from 30k or will i get wiped out one day? thanks for your posts.

>>55167953
No trouble at all, it's hard won financial advice. You likewise take care. Enjoy some sweet tea on this Friday afternoon.

>>55167968
You too it's been a sweltering day that's for sure. Well I'll be off tell the missus I said hello.

>>55167926
i was doing something like that with leveraged etfs. i bought in when i thought it would move my way and take gains quick, like 1-3% gains. grew my account by a lot over a few months. problem was that I was wrong one day and lost a lot. so, is it easier with options to get that little bit of consistent gain without blowing up my account? what would you suggest I do to not fuck myself?

I just ate a big bag of chocolate covered espresso beans, and I'm not sure I'm going to make it
Someome please look after my stocks once I'm gone... my account is with Fidelity, thank you

>>55167939
i wouldnt care about lost gains if i consciously decide to stick to option selling. im realizing i really dont have any idea where a stock will go so im wondering if by selling options i can kind of mitigate this issue and make gains somehow. my thinking is to just selling ridiculous strikes that have a 95% chance of not happening. someone will buy it from me, even if its algos.

>>55167943
I'm about ten years into my white collar wagie career, and in that time there have been maybe 3 people who I'd feel comfortable talking about anything beyond basic pleasantries. No one talks to each other. I've had people on my team, working on all the same things, sit 20 feet away from me and not talk to them in-person for 6 months. One guy sat directly behind me on another team we talked maybe twice in 3 years.

This market is gay and retarded

Thoughts?

>>55168029
We're not going anywhere, retard.

>>55167955
>can you give advice on position size?
My suggestion is keep the max loss on each option trade at no more than 2% of your account size. Bump it up to 3% after you've been successful a while. So say you have a $100,000 account and you want to open an iron condor. 100000 times 0.02 is $2000. If the max loss on the iron condor is $500 minus $100 premium received so for opening the trade (so max loss $400) then you can open a total of 5 iron condors for that trade. In this instance you receive $500 premium so if the trade goes against you $250 or moves $250 in your favor then you close the trade since that's your stop. Never get into the habit of just riding the trade further as this will inevitably result in a big loss down the road. At most I'd enter into 3 different trades at any one time on different underlying ETFs and strike prices. All of these follow the max loss of 3% NLV rule. If you have 3 trades open and want to open another one, either don't or close one of the current ones first. If you open a trade on SPY and it starts to move around, wait until it has moved at least 4% so when you open a new trade the strikes will be in a different place. That way you aren't piled in on a single set of strikes in case the trade goes bad.
Remember, Iron Condors and option selling is a diversifying strategy. It isn't meant to be your entire system lest you become under diversified in that way. 80% of your total account value should be doing something else like long stocks, bonds or whatever else. The remaining 20% should be the reserve to ease your movement in and out of the iron condor trades. You can expect to make 15% to 30% a year on that 20% devoted to the iron condors when you git gud and it will be uncorrelated so even if stocks take a shit the Iron Condors will keep printing

>>55167943
I do tech support for server software (so our customers are sysadmins, not end users). My team shitposts constantly. We're composed of a combination of "retail and restaurant wagies who were too smart for that but underqualified for software engineering", and "compsci graduates who are too flaky and underachieving for software engineering".
We talk shit about higher ups, we shit on customers constantly, and we play vidya and ttrpgs on discord and stuff like that after work. I'm pretty sure at least half the team wakes up and logs in at 9am and then falls back asleep till 10:30 or 11am now that we're all wfh.
On slow days we watch youtube and play vidya on the clock. When we were in the office we had a vidya room where people would go to play smash bros and other stuff on breaks, and I routinely would play roguelikes and boomer shooters at my desk. My manager did the same, and would warn me when higher ups were going to be on our floor so I could look like I was working hard.

That being said, most of the department/company is pretty left-leaning so since you're on this board you'd probably hate it. Idgaf about politics beyond what makes my life more comfortable so I dont care :^)

honestly it kinda sucks. Spreads are too wide and there are much less expiration months than SPY. I don't think VOO even has weeklies. SPY is better for option trading in every conceivable way

>>55167982
sell options don't buy, and learn to cut losses. I don't like to double down or average down. I take the loss and reposition. never "fall in love" basically.

Are bears literal retards?

Pretty meh still, if you just want a leveraged SP500 then do
50% 3xSP500 of choice
25% picks
If it's a tax sheltered account then last 25% dividend etf or personal picked dividend stocks with DRIP turned on otherwise bump it up to 50% picks of things other than the top 5 SP500 weighted stocks
TQQQ is super correlated with SP500 these days so it's kind of redundant tbqdesu

>>55168120
Another thing I forgot. This is a bit subjective but don't open iron condors in a strong trend, especially at what looks like the top or the bottom. The price of the underlying if it's trending hard can easily just blow through your short strike and you wasted your money. Wait until the trend breaks or there's a nice pullback. I realize this is the most subjective part but it comes with practice

>>55168161
Look for jobs with titles like Technical Support Engineer, Software Maintenance Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer (although the latter is typically more hands-on sysadmin work).

This is a customer facing job though, you need to be comfortable with phone calls and remote sessions with customers, especially when you're at the associate level. I'm senior now so I only take like 3-4 calls a month and the rest is just case updates/emails with the customer.

>>55168353
Oh I should also mention the job can be very low stress some days, extremely high stress other days, like any IT job.
Day 1: Put in one case update, write a knowledge article, watch youtube the rest of the day
Day 2: At 9:30am get thrown into an urgent screenshare session with a customer because a $10mil system is down. You are not the subject matter expert on this issue, but the SME is out sick, so someone's gotta take it. You havent had a chance to review the logs, and the customer's VP, 15 managers, and 3 tech grunts are looking to you for answers. You can hear the agony in the tech grunts' voices as they have been up all night working on this. The manager keeps using a nickname you didnt ask for. The manager is very condescending to his tech grunts. You and the grunts both have a shared understanding of how shit this is. Every 20 minutes the VP, who wasnt actually listening to the call, interrupts you mid-sentence to ask, "So whats the status on the issue?" Someone named Pravish is working at 2am his time and never mutes, you can hear the indian car horns in the background. Kevin, the lead grunt, is smart, but exhausted. Despite being the lead, he's not sharing his screen; he delegates tasks to the guy who IS sharing his screen, some intern named Rajeev, who virtually never speaks.

You bang your head against the wall trying to figure it out. You think the issue might be DNS. (It's always DNS.) They pull in their DNS guy, who's a Chinese-American guy with a thick accent, or maybe he's a surly 45 year old named Dave who's been in this job for way too long and is way too sure of himself. He demands you prove that the problem is with DNS, but you dont know DNS well enough to prove it. Eventually the manager says "Dave, we dont know if it's DNS, but we dont know what it is. Can you please just check." Dave checks... if you're lucky, it's DNS! If you're unlucky, it's back to the drawing board.

>>55168448
i have mentioned essentially this before and T was a resulting suggestion.

>>55168436
Dave will stick around for another 30 minutes to offer his useless advice. Then he'll go silent for 30 minutes. The whole call is silent, because you're going through logs trying to find something, anything to explain the problem. They uploaded the logs to the case but refused to let you get off. Every 5 minutes a random manager will notice his laptop has been silent whlie he was making lunch or taking a shit, come over to the laptop, and ask for a status report. Kevin, resigned to his fate, will re-explain the issue every time.
>Do we have AnonTech on the call yet?
>Yes, he's been on the call for 3 hours.
>Oh, hey anon. So here's the issue we're facing...
>Yeah, no, dont explain it, I already am looking at it
>Ok. Yeah, so the issue we're facing is ...

A few minutes later, Dave chimes in. "Hey, can I drop?" 30 seconds of awkward silence. Kevin: "Yeah, you can drop."

Eventually, you find a workaround. Or maybe someone on some team who hasn't spoken in 6 hours pipes up, "Hey I found something weird... remember when we did maintenance last week?" (They never told you they did maintenance last week) "Well I found this config got changed...."

Or maybe you figure out it's a bug in the software.

You finally get off the call, the problem is either solved or at least in a half-working state with duct tape and dried cum used as glue. It's 4:30pm and you haven't eaten breakfast yet. You ping your manager. "I need to go eat breakfast."
You go masturbate, then eat breakfast, and watch TV until 5:57pm. You put a handover note in that case and log off before anyone can ping you questions about the issue.

Day 3: Put in one case update, watch youtube the rest of the day.

I didn't do any research, because I'm a retard. I just woke up one day, realized my whole portfolio was in US companies, and panic-diversified into the first international thing that I saw. I have about $62k in it overall and down about $16k. I think I did most of the DCAing during that big pump...

Toyota has a massive backlog on new car orders. Like you want a bog standard gas Corolla you're waiting a few months in the US and double that in Canada. Anything hybrid is 1+ year. How this is affecting their revenue and market share I dunno.
t.waiting two months already for new Corolla, was quoted 8 months wait.

oh that is a pretty long timeframe.
Just so you know, that Fund also includes chinese stuff like Tencent.

Another day. Another day of napping. Another day of uh homeless bums getting rousted out of my workplace's parking garage.
