The apple vision pro looks awful and with the way twitter is going I don't see the appeal of big tech stocks. Are there any 90s tech companies still around that arent doing stuff in the "cloud". Dell and xerox come to mind. I think floppy disk makers will make a comeback, this could be the year of sega releasing the dreamcast 2.

>>55458281
Yeah we’ll also all go play at toys r us and rent hella games from blockbuster. Pickup some snacks from Kmart. It’s ALL coming back because modern technology SUCKS and landlines are COOL.

Today you are going to learn what it means to be hyper barted.

>>55458271
this isn't my main account but i'm using this as a challenge from 2k to 100k.

my main ones are just nothing but LEAPS on SOFI. they're up around 2xish since I bought them when it was around 5 bucks.

TSLA WE BROS MADE IT

Kek glowies

>he bought?

what to buy.....

There's this ticker called ACMR and could someone clear something up for me regarding it?
>ACMR was founded in US in '98
>ACMR Shanghai was created in '08, it has its own ticker
>ACMR owns 82.5% of ACMR Shanghai stock
>ACMR is valued at 700 million USD while ACMR Shanghai (publicly traded on Shanghai stock exchange) is trading at 7 000 million
Subsidiary value isn't added to book value and there's a short seller report by J Capital from 2020 that suggested they have some extremely shady accounting practices. They also made some allegations that the technology used isn't as high tech as the firm alleges

So why is it popping off now?

That sounds good to me. Computers made more sense when your internet would shut off when someone called you. I don't think the AR/VR thing apple is trying to do will ever be a success it has no benefit to the economy. The internet was perfected with sergey brin and larry page, why are people still thinking the internet is a good investment after they left google? And don't get me started on zucc boxing elon musk. Those guys were nobodies then and facebook was a startup gimmick like twitter. Web forums will come back any time now.

>a portfolio of 100% AAPL leaps

Why wouldn’t this work

>>55458381
Make sure to visit the hololive cafe and say hi to Miko.

>>55458410
how many LEAPS can you buy?

>>55458391
it means highschool girl

>>55458417
Not enough, maybe 20 slightly OTM. You think SOFI $15 leaps are a good buy? I used to make a lot on that ticker but haven’t traded it much as of late.

>I just discovered etrade pro
ok now this is kino

>>55458410
My stomach churned at this idea especially since it's at ATHs. All I'll say is get them as far away as possible and super DITM. I'm talking 0.8 delta. And, if you see 45%+ gains either turn it into a spread or sell it.

>>55458387
Feel free to explain but sure, I've asked this before if you're talking about that

I guess it was the price target upgrade

>>55458410
why not just long shares and not worry about the daily fluctuations while receiving a dividend

looking for some general advice. i guess i should sell off some stock and pay off credit, right? i realize that's most likely the correct thing to do probably but it's so fucking hard to do for some reason. tell me i'm retarded for not doing it.

>>55458411
Miko?
Isn't that the chick that gets wedgies from /smg/ users?

>>55458452
No, she gives the wedgies.

You guys were right, the market is slow as fuck today.

>>55458444
Yes youre retarded
>not warren buffet or any professional stock picker
>best option is to throw money into a broad index and get like 8% a year
>can buy a treasury for 5% a year
>or you can sit on debt and pay 20%+ interest
HMM

>>55458459
No one intelligent trades on a early close day, especially with tomorrow closed. I’m not buying/selling anything until Wednesday

>>55458439
Oh it was the image you used. That's Neuro-sama and her fans are called the swarm. That was all.

>>55458434
I'm hella biased on SOFI but yes if they're expiring 2 years out then 15 is a safe bet because I firmly believe it will hit ATH in a year or less with the massive growth they're showing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_banks_in_the_United_States#ref_a
it wasn't even on the top 100 like a month or so. now its 88. it's growing hella fast

>>55458454
doubt
post proofs or Miko gets more wedgies

>>55458444
yes, it's the same as selling a top or buying a bottom. it never feels right

>>55458444
pay debt if you make less % per year in the market than your debt, no if you make more % per year than your debt. I am assuming you mean credit cards so yea pay that shit, your not going to reliably beat CC interest rate in the market.

>>55458465
>>55458485
>>55458491
thanks for the push anons. i'm gonna do it.

>SOXL

Wtf man..this shit is so gay

Just fucking go to 30 already

So guys now that it is Joever regarding the 10k student loan forgiveness, what is the move? Should I be doing minimum payments just in case they change their minds and implement forgiveness a different way and invest more in stonks, or should I pay my federal loans down aggressively within a year or two (30k total at around a 4.5% interest rate when averaged)

>>55458444
If credit debt or credit teaser rate is almost over then you pay that off ASAP. The market long term is 8% ± 2%. You'll never beat credit interest rate so pay it off.

You can also open up a new credit card with 12-18 months of 0% interest rate for credit balance transfers but understand that you're kicking a can down the road. Do it if you need to buy time but don't rely on it. And if you do go this route, DON'T GO CRAZY WITH CREDIT DEBT AGAIN.

>>55458523

Just dont pay

Simple as'

Its made up pieces of paper a bank printed out of thin air

>>55458534
Thanks but I'd like to be able to take out loans / own credit cards so this isn't an option for me

>>55458523
Student loans are now an asset. I plan to pay the bare minimum because I fucking know one of the politicans will eventually cave in regarding it.

Tbqh kinda happy because the whores have been getting uppity with the cash flow infusion.

UPS strike has been slowed down. We still have until August 1st before we officially know.

Man.. i wish MARA would fucking DIP ALREADY. stop pumping asshole. you were up 7% when I sold you.

>>55458548
I see things pretty much the same way. Since the interest rate is only at 4.5% investing in the market makes more sense than paying them down. Potential forgiveness down the line on top of that makes me even less inclined to pay anything more than bare minimum

/lean hog bros stay winning

>>55458523
it's one of the next wedge issues for the next 30 years since the supreme court ended a bunch of the ones that both parties have been milking for decades.

Do I buy SOXL calls now or wait?

>>55458617
not sure.... i'm trying to get in at 24.40 or lower

>>55458523
Pay the minimum and nothing more. The suckers that paid in full are going to regret it. You're never going to have to pay back those loans. Democrats have dug themselves in a hole on this issue and will have to follow through.

>>55458468
>not buying BOIL during the brief moments it was down 7% this morning
>saying others aren't intelligent

>>55458523
It's under 5% so it's within reason to just pay the minimum until completion and invest the rest to make a profit off the spread. No need to pay it off quickly.

I hate people who make big profits on stocks. It makes me incredible jealous.

Shill me stocks

So what is LEAP and is it recommended or a gamble?

>>55458680
MONI sir
big acquisition soon

>>55458680
IEP sub 27

>>55458691
LEAPS are a good strategy if you believe in a stock to continue running upwards in the future. Preferably, it is bought 6+ months out. I prefer getting them 1.5-2 years out.

The only drawback to them is if the market hits a sudden downturn. All of your premium could get wiped out. Yet, if you want to synthetically own your favorite stock on a deal then this is your best viable option. Just know when to close them either by straight up selling the contract before it hits 6 months before expiration or turning it into a spread and forgetting about it.

eu is dumping, is us just the best economy period?

BITFbros...

So it's been like a week since I lost $400 on poker and they still haven't taken the money out of my account. Am I going to get lucky and slip through the cracks? I withdrew my last $85 and they said I had to verify my bank account with documents and I refused. Maybe I'll get lucky and they won't be able to do anything about it if I just log out.

>still waiting on the dip

>>55458727
This is SMG anon. Only educated gamblers here none of this Poker crap

>>55458410
because its not MSFT

>>55458735
Don't hide, just buy

>>55458727
They'll get their money. Don't worry.

>>55458630
One week or two out?

>>55458722
Sounds like it's very safe to do on SPY on a dip?

>>55458735
Wait another 4-6 months. Maybe 8. Be patient.

>>55458725
26k shares.. do I sell or wait another 3-4months?

stocks are gay

>>55458727
I heard rebooting your computer will fix it.

>>55458741
>educated gamblers
I've seen people throw stacks at AQB, MULN, BOTY, and diesel don. These people would unironically be better off playing a lot machines

>>55458770
$SPY, $QQQ, $AAPL, $MSFT, and other blue chips are viable options.

Just make sure to check the delta and that it is at least 0.7 I prefer 0.8 and that it's below historical volatility to get the most bang for your buck. Buying OTM is fun and all but you'll get chopped up pretty easily.

>>55458780
Gays are the new masters. I dare you to say something negative about them in public. So this must mean stocks are great

>>55458766
a week out mostly. dunno if i want to bite the bullet when crypto stocks are going absolutely insane right now. when BTC reach 31k+ there is going to be another pump and i don't want to miss that for semis

>>55458796
i bought some with delta with 0.6. Are they worthless?

How much money in US stock market is from US ? Does a major economic upturn in china or latin America affect stock prices?

>>55458822
No, just more risk on your end.

Now that you own those LEAPS contracts you can start selling covered calls to collect premium. Just know, you don't want those CC's to get exercised or you lose premium on your LEAPS. I would recommend to wait until your strike price + trade price is near the current price to start selling covered calls. Saves you from the heart ache or worrying about losing money unnecessarily. Also recommend for you to check out InTheMoney's YouTube channel on LEAPS. He covers them really well.

Niggers fund life styles they can't afford using loans, normal decent White people have already stopped excessive spending, backdoor bailouts don't pass in time and banks dump, crypto dumps, tech dumps, TND.

>In economics and finance, a Glownigger Market is said to occur when a country's financial policymakers begin manipulating econometric data for their political benefit. [1] This may be accompanied by organized propaganda campaigns, hidden monetary easing, as well as other forms of financial repression, in order to reinforce the illusion that a nation's troubled economy is sound and resilient. [2, 3] In a Glownigger Market, stocks may seem to rally, even irrationally so, in the face of worsening economic conditions. However, while the goal of a Glownigger Market is to either delay or prevent a politically undesireable financial correction from occurring, the policy actions that led to the Glownigger Market invariably increase the severity of the subsequent financial crisis. By attempting to overpower healthy corrective market forces, a Glownigger Market causes extreme capital misallocation that can turn a minor economic downturn into a severe and protracted economic depression.

Dude literally just had a video telling you the stock market poorly correlates with macro conditions. It should be clear as day to you since COVID.

hi /smg/
I have gotten absolutely demolished with broad market index funds due to poor investing and not DCAing like I should. I am actually in the red for everything I've invested in (market ETFs) since 2021. Not in the red by a lot (just a couple hundo for investment north of 20k) but given the massive loss in opportunity cost its a very painful thing to look at.

So now I want to do something different and invest with a bit more risk and maybe even in international markets. I'm sort of interested in Japan and India. The passive ETF method did not work for me. Are any of you dudes investing in international markets? Is it worth getting into? I am looking at Japanese video game companies and Indian food exporters.
>japanese videogame companies have been doing really well. Capcom quintupled in value over the last five years. Seems like its risky to invest in because entertainment is the first to go when people are strapped for cash. But they have huge titles, massive investment in esports and generally don't put out games that are total garbage like the west

Why do you think that Indian food export demand is going to go up because Indians are moving to Canada.

>>55459923
Becuase the market thinks it knows the extent of how terrible it is and won't get any worse. When the market is uncertain of the future is when it dumps

>Why do you think that Indian food export demand is going to go up because Indians are moving to Canada
Because the food they are buying is the snacks and stuff they want that they used to get back home. There are two aspects:
1) export of prepackaged foods to canada by those companies will increase
2) those companies invest in canada and they rent out factories here to make and package the food locally when it makes more financial sense to do so

In both scenarios this increases the profits of those companies. My entire office is filled with people with expired H1Bs. All they talk about outside of buying up property is stuff like this, where to shop for Indian food. Even the Walmarts and other big grocery stores have started carrying this stuff. My local walmart used to have a small aisle for international food but they had to make it bigger and add more stuff and 70+% of the stuff is indian. Its been steadily increasing in the 10 years I've lived here, but the last 3 years have been insane.

>>55459969
>>55460018

>>55460011
I just don't know if that's a sound bull case because you don't know if they could be losing demand in other parts of the world. For ex Indian manufacturers in parts of East Asia or Africa stop orders.
>>55460052
I 100% know what you're talking about since you're describing my family (parents always talk about which groceries to get indian food from).

I didn't know WMT was increasing its stock for indian products recently. Is that something that is location-specific? So for example WMTs in places with a large Indian population will have an Indian-dominant international aisle while WMTs in places with a large Chinese population will have a Chinese-dominant international aisle?

That does bolster the bull case for indian food exporters (more Indians living abroad).

FWIW the local grocery store near my place (India Cash & Carry) grows their produce locally - about 70 miles inland from me in the Central Valley of California.

But all of the pre-packaged foodstuffs and spices are obviously from Indian food manufacturers. This is all high-level speculation, would need to see the actual granular details for specific firms. And see what their order book looks like

>>55460097
Every single grocery chain here in Canada is upped their international isles because it placates to their target base

>>55460097
WMT wagie from (((Ontario))) here.
Most stores will follow a template based on their location and size. For example, we have Cottage, Superstore, and something else. Even two stores in the same district will end up having very different products in stock, simply due to supply issues and floor space constraints. Usually featured products are universal in the region, but we've had certain stuff get advertised in the flier and 0 come in and customers getting annoyed (it does say not all items available in all regions).

So yes, I'm sure Home Office will consider local demographics both when choosing where to build a store, as well as setting the monthly floor plans and weekly deals. Right? No sense buying hundreds of Indian meals with a finite shelf life in a Chinese market. They might have some, but they'll focus on certain products.

The biggest thing to remember about WMT is that they are committed to EDLP (everyday low prices). As a shareholder - this is great. As staff, this sucks. It means shaving wages, and using economy of scale to increase their margins. For example, in 2018 they allegedly strongarmed Energizer into raising prices across the board, but giving WMT the lowest price (to fulfill their EDLP guarantee). I imagine there was an exclusivity deal here, because we don't carry Duracell in Canada anymore. Now there's a class action lawsuit, buy they probably got an extra 6 or 7 figures in profits over the last 5 years by doing it, enough that it will offset the cost of said lawsuit. They probably factored it into the cost of doing business.

>>55460074
Anime is funny because there has never been a successful sea voyage in which the crew was all female. Why is that?

>>55460029
>Never considered the variety of foods for pajeets
Indian food is extremely varied because India is a subcontinent. As varied as European foods of Central Asian/MENA foods.
Indians are very loyal to their food and refuse to stop eating it

>>55460159
Do you have any insight in to the shortage of frozen burritos?

>>55460159
Another thing is that WMT describes itself as a "tech-based customer fulfillment company". Eg, they use technology to automate things where possible, such as item ordering and price changes (shelf e-labels). It's always a clusterfuck, but we eventually find a balance that works at the store level.

Right now one of their strategies seems to be focusing on online growth. Eg, some things like TVs will be sold and shipped by Walmart online, but be $100 cheaper than in store. I think they want to wow shareholders to siphon positions from AMZN (we don't carry their Firestick in store, for example).

Canada accounts for a very small amount of their profit, the US is like 70-80% and also includes convenience stores and gas stations. I'm actually happy they're closing a handful stores in the US, nog mobs that steal tens of thousands at a time are not great for creating shareholder value. Theft is generally pretty high.

>>55460159
I'm ontario as well and routinely find better deals elsewhere. That being said sometimes Walmart is better. For groceries however. Most deals elsewhere are better

>>55460189
>I'm actually happy they're closing a handful stores in the US, nog mobs that steal tens of thousands at a time are not great for creating shareholder value. Theft is generally pretty high.
Can you get into some more granular detail about how nog mobs that steal from WMT's are materially impacting the business?

>>55460181
Not sure. I heard Mexico had a poor crop of red jalapenos this year, which affected the price of Sriracha sauce in the US ($70/bottle in some cases) due to supplier/production issues from China.
Biggest thing is to look at other vendors. If other vendors have it no problem, then it's a WMT issue, which means fleet/logistics or supplier contract issues. If one brand is out, then it's the manufacturer that's getting heemed. If there are just no frozen burritos in general, then it's probably a macro issue (eg input prices like oil and corn)

>>55460191
Oh yeah, our fresh food is kinda shit. If you go to like Loblaw's or Metro or basically any proper grocery store, their shit is always bountiful and fresh and good quality. We have lower prices on some food categories, but it's mostly due to us having lower grade fruits and veggies. Like we got a shipment of berries in and half of them moldered in like 3 days.

Some stuff we really do have good deals on, but certain goyslop is cheaper at like Shopper's Drug Mart or Giant Tiger.

>>55460203
Don't have access to that info, just guessing based on a few shitpost videos I've seen here. We have some software called Tableau that managers can use to look at store metrics, like margins, hot categories, etc, but I don't have access to it because it's limited to your job code

Actually, I'll talk about our shrink (losses). I can't remember what our budget was last year, but this year it was $970,000. We do inventory once a year and get a 3rd party in to audit the store, after we prep it. This was for paper shrink, which is unaccounted for stuff. Breakage and evidence of theft we can account for. Stuff that just leaves no trace, or things that "arrive" on a trailer but aren't actually here and not corrected, that adds up.

Our result for the last year (our fiscal year ends in January) was $944,000. We beat the budget by like 1.32%. Other stores had similar budgets but blew past it at like $1.9m in unaccounted losses. It's staggering. It feels like we are barely holding our store together and it's one of the better ones.

>>55460249
>Other stores had similar budgets but blew past it at like $1.9m in unaccounted losses.
Where were these WMT stores located where they blew past their budgets through unaccounted losses?

>>55460274
North of Toronto, not sure how the city operates. This is Barrie and area

>>55460216
Thank you. The shortage in Canada is pervasive. There are no cheap microwave burritos in any grocery chain. Only premium expensive ones they want 4 dollar each for.

>>55460174
Will be pretty funny if the Canadian cuckolds allow a new India to be created in Canada. I don't know what the consequences of that would be. In a way Indians seem less socially aware than blacks to me. Blacks never obliviously blast loud music on the train where I live; Indians do it all the time and seem surprised people even care. Strange people, these poos.

am I just supposed to buy a bunch of low cost ETFs that track the market and let them chill for years? I don't get any of this shit

>>55460312
You're supposed to buy SPX or NDX, and some bonds if you really don't want to take any risk or look at a chart ever.

You can go long directional exposure via delta/gamma, or short theta to earn money over time. You can also go long or short vega depending on your strategy (calendar spread or hedging). So it really depends

>>55460249
> $1.9m in unaccounted losses

I don’t believe that shit. It’s either employees or managers. My store puts multiple rfid and even if I put everything on the cashier table with cart empty it still buzzed when I leave. Those fuckers put 3 or 4 tags and the dumb cashier is too busy to sit there and look where all the tags are. Maybe in the big liberal cities they steal a lot.

great posts, thanks for sharing. I frequent Walmarts in Toronto (GTA - Scarborough and Markham) and Ottawa. I've lived in Waterloo and London as well and seen similar changes. Slow additions of Indian food, typically some frozen shelf space, and a lot of space in international aisles for snacks and ready-made meals (pic related). ready-made meals they carry are like MREs and last for months so its probably very efficient if they move quickly.

Life-hack if you like the stuff -- its extremely cheap, usually $3/pack (good for one meal) and you just eat it with rice or bread and given how expensive food is these days it can be extremely convenient if you're a degenerate that doesn't cool like me.

>>55460311
I mean this already exists. Brampton, Ontario has an absolutely massive south asian population. The upsides are cheap and good food from that region if you like it. The downsides are its an insular cultural enclave, has really shady real estate shit going on, car insurance scams, bringing over of politics and problems from that part of the world and so on. We are bringin in over 1/40th in our population every year and I think the vast majority is from India

>>55460439
~20%, i guess it just hits harder because it was low 70s last month

>>55460409
There's a Walmart on Chicago closing directly because of theft. There is no other reason to close the store. If they're making money, why would they leave?

>>55460409
It can be a combination of the supplier mislabeling something, damaged product not being marked down correctly, actual theft we don't catch, or shit not arriving. Even accounting for margin of error by the company (I'm not sure how the resolve numbers w/ the store onhands / managers), there were actually at least 3 stores in our district that fucked the budget.

... We can't actually ask to see receipts anymore. I'm not sure why. The only time we can do so is if they beep and offer to show it to us. We also have a homeless camp near our store. Electric toothbrushes are an extremely common target. They're like $100-200 and have good resale value apparently.

Oh and I heard that a trend is that Romanian gypsies will go to Toronto and live at a safehouse, and steal thousands from a store and give it to fences, and if they get caught they just get deported and the ringleader gets new people to do it again. Not just a WMT problem.
Also curryniggers have been calling various retailers in the US with bomb threats and demanding gift cards and BTC payment. Shit's just generally a mess right now. I'd hate to be running a business right now
