>>56526932
Bro it's gonna crab again.

There is literally no argument against putting all your cash into money market funds right now. You get steady easy gains in this high interest rate environment. They say there is always an equal opposite exchange when trading anything but with MMF accounts it's all just gains and no drawbacks. No glaring detail that could fuck you over in the long run if you aren't careful. All you have to do is pull out when they start cutting rates.

>>56526932
>no tits
Pathetic

big dick bros what are you buying today?

>>56526959
what in the fuck is a money market fund? do they have leveraged etf's?

>Ms. Broker, buy more QQQ.

>>56526976
Buying TLT, desu
>>56526978
Imagine how hairy that bitchs black pussy is. FUCKYA.

So how will markets react today to the fed?

The markets have reacted negatively to each fed meeting for as long as I can remember.

But this time I'm hearing talk that powell will be dovish and signal that rate increases are basically at an end?

I've noticed the last 10 fed meetings have ended in a fucking red day....will today be green?

>>56526925
Yeah I know, but there's no way to directly short Ramsey

F O M C *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* F O M C

>>56526954
Of course. It's going to crab quietly until 2:00 when it will start crabbing violently.

>>56526994
>hairy
yuck

>>56527013
Fucking roastie BITCH

>>56526997
immediate reaction = rally, as uncertainty is removed, uncertainty removed = hedges come off; hedges come off = shares sold short bought back by dealers
however, press conference could go either way
in general, Powell will have a dovish tone, because right now we are a stones throw from bond market collapse, stock market just hit 10% correction, so he will try to soothe markets rather than add fuel to the fire
so in general, I expect us to rally from here
HOWEVER, if during the press conference, he makes it abundantly clear that there will be more hikes, or that the timeline is a lot longer, then we could close red
but for once, in a long time, I think we will close green, not just the initial bump on comments
look at how much yields have cooled off today as well
unless yields spike up big on release / press conference unlikely for us to crash here
(which is why selling $410 SPY puts on Monday was free money!!)

>>56526948
Its just a local company and the listing is for entry level labor in an area with labor shortage. Should I reapply to the new listing? I'm only interested because its close and indoors

>>56526997
the data doesn't lie. the fed has always done what they said they are going to do. higher for longer. people are just gambling and thinking there will be a reversal. there won't. HIGHER FOR LONGER.

I know what he will say, he will say:

Indexesl. It's probably BS because it's based off TA. I boughted.

Anyone still holding BST? It's the time of the month.

I've watched the last 10 fed meetings

EVERY SINGLE TIME IT PUMPED BEFORE IT....THEN IT ALWAY FUNISHED RED

I'm cautiously optimistic, someone tell me why this time we will stay green

All I saying is prepare yourself for a roller-coaster and God knows where it finishes end of day

That powell nigger better not be so hawkish this time, I'm hopeful he is more dovish because we are near the end of the rate cycle....only question is how near

>everything is gigapumping while omxs30 is flat

JUST

It's over for the.... bears bulls....

>>56526997
The fed is badically moving on to a new type of cope. They are going to hold interest rates and just magically hope inflation comes down. We are in for a long, multi year crab as inflation and debt eats away at consumers and increased yields eat away at profits

So I expect the market to jump only to come back down. Over and over and over and over.

So DXY was ripping higher at the open and now getting heemed. What gives? is it the JOLTS report?

>>56527201
This is insanely bullish news for stocks that deal with shaky desks. I just invested my entire portfolio in companies that produce furniture stabilizing accessories.

OH GOD IM FUCKING PAAAUUUUSING

>>56527201
I used to work right next to a naval base. That was so fucking annoying.

>>56527201
LMT bros...

There are people in this very thread buying the pump into FOMC

The scary thing is these gains mean nothing until powell opens his mouth.

This happened the last 8 fed meetings and we closed red every time

real talk
do you guys REALLY trust this rally?
any big movements before a fed meeting would trip all my red flags
i wanna know if anyone is unironically buying into this or is it muh golden bullrun memeing

>>56527208
Saab and Ikea can only take you so far.

>>56527247
we hit a 7 month low for no reason, we may not be going to ath but there was no reason to drop 10% on good news

>>56527247
Of course not
But I'm sure some fags 100% believe it's for real this time

>>56527243

>>56527272
>Jews get more land
Sounds bearish.

Reminder to BILchads it's the first of the month and time to buy the dip

>>56527247
No, but I'm going to funpost and you can't stop me.

last one was a fucking chinook

i think my real estate agent rugpulled me

>>56527247
This is 100% not a bull run, and you wont see one for least a year, probably more.

The situation is really bad and the prolonging of denying bobo his dues will only spell a harder crash. A soft landing is not an option anymore.

Anyone noticed that previously the top gainers and losers on the S&P would be +-8% but recently things have escalated and companies are regularly up or down more than 15% after earnings? When is this house of cards going to collapse?

>>56527284
Living near an airport/airbase/airstrip is a fucking nightmare

I bet 1 share of SOXS we close down 2.5%

>>56527290
I'm bearish but there's a good chance we get a decent bull run right after the yield curve uninverts.

so uhhh basically after we're done with the recession and everything is already down -80%?
sure

>>56527282
Who is this?

>>56527315
Sure but were in a difficult spot where they will have to resort to cuts

>>56527247
I don't trust it right now but future me might say otherwise

>>56527338
No. Just before the recession.

>>56527290
it's too low not to go up again and there is not reason for it not to go up. Plus like Christmas is coming.

how can someone possibly be bearish, ever!

>>56527247
Not in the slightest, but the puts I wrote last week are saved if this rally holds so I will pay homage to King Crab for displaying his crusty might once more in snibbing both the bovine and the ursine.

>>56527440

>>56527494
Well I guess I'll go ahead and put these shorts back on and see how liquid this rally really is

>>56527511
No, i have cash if we go down again.

>>56527472
Yes people can buy her bonds on her onlyfans

I believe in the power of Jesus Christ our Lord to save my portfolio from damnation.

So whats the play with bonds here? im tempted to load up on 30 years here at 5% but talk of even more treasury bonds entering market soon so im thinking it will go even higher.

>>56527478
I bought literally yesterday and it paid off faggot

>>56527511
>>56527525
Why would you buy when market go up instead of when it go down?

Just always have a percent of portfolio in cash. I swear some of you are too broke to understand this.

>>56527538
Anons don't know what liquidity is.

uh oh

>>56527538
I prefer to wait for perfect setups and go all in and take profits or realize losses rather than let the market makers decide my financial fate. Fomo isn't in my blood. Not built that way

>>56527538
>I swear some of you are too broke to understand this.
Mate, 90% of the people in this general have 4 figure portfolios and literally trade $3 0dte calls.

Just instructed my pension provider to allocate 100% of my pension funds into the BlackRock MSCI world for the next 30 years. How fucked am I?

I need to get out of wagecucking as quickly as I can.

>>56527595

At least, that's the only reason I'd go back to a job.

>>56527638
Yeah I know that feel. Last year I was at 50% because the business is reported on my taxes and had to dump cash, such bullshit.

>>56527621
While I agree in principle I think I need this job and nobody is really hiring in the industry right now. Seems that one must stay cucked for the time being. I've only got a buck 20 in liquid assets which doesn't really go that far at all.

>>56527564
>MSCI

>>56527638

That's a big factor in why I quit. Marginal benefit of waging is inconsequential. They were about to force return to office as well.
I'd rather just sit around and trade stocks.

>>56527650
The market isn't getting heemed though, not yet anyway

>full retard war pivot anticipation euphoria

>>56527645
Brokering and market making are two different things. It’s possible you buy from / sell to a market maker who’s there to provide liquidity but that’s not necessarily the case.

This markets so bullish even Spirit Airlines is green.

how do you know

>>56527776
Oh right I guess you could do spreads.

>>56527724
I agree directionally because I think this rally is just short hedging, but it could scampump for like an hour after fomc minutes drop.

>>56527779
How do you know

>>56527789
i completely forgot about spreads. i stopped doing them because it wasn't yielding big profit. then again, the market wasn't as volatile.

prepare for another several sigma beat on friday

>>56527820
You know they don't just sell pcs right? I don't know but maybe you should become more familiar with their plans for growth then because there are more ways than just "one" or whatever you are familiar with to grow.

>>56527856

Yeah I guess they have never been able to monetize code or any kind of software or comidify those things into services...

>>56527815
Not sure where you're getting that, but I see MSFT middle of the pack. Not quite as insane as TSLA/NVDA or even AMZN, but microsoft is still the most expensive of the more reasonable names in the 7.
AAPL, META, and GOOG all cheaper. Though you could maybe argue AAPL on lack of growth.

FED will announce a rate hike today as inflation edges back up.

>>56527964
>Do all top guys wear rolexes
absolutely not
rolex is considered trashy nowadays, too flashy
if you have wealth, you don't wear anything that flashes wealth - this is a new money, low class thing to do
if you have money, nobody in the room knows you have money, unless they're "in the know"
eg. wearing a plain t-shirt that costs $800
rolexes are now trashy, unless you're above the age of 60 - there are more understated watches now that people will wear, where only people who really know watches will know that it's superior
if you're wearing a rolex in front of the real, actual wealthy, you will be looked at like you're 'nigger rich'

>>56527995
Says who? Powerful graphics are constantly more and more in demand.

>>56528012
>eg. wearing a plain t-shirt that costs $800
That's fucking retarded nigger shit.
Just wear a collard shirt from Old Navy. There's zero reason to do anything else.

>>56528017
I'm telling you, this is what the actual wealthy do
they will wear an $800 t-shirt but if someone walks into the room wearing a flashy rolex they'll mock them for wearing it
>Look at this guy, wearing a diamond rolex! LOL

>Insane GDP numbers supported by a strong consumer
Yeah, naturally there is some downwind but overall the consumer has withstood all this and remains very bullish.
>>56528009
I don't think that's good but the market apparently disagrees. They improved their margins and their overall net result and earnings per share. That's pretty damn good considering the rates are higher than in 2022 and people were saying that tech would fall apart as rates go above 3% (fuckin kek).

Ultra kek. Not even once. You're better off sticking to NVDA than buying that crap.
>>56527995
And yet the consumer is buying them. It's about supply and demand. If you can sell a product at a certain price, i.e., people are willing to buy, then the product is worth that price. As such, not overpriced.

You literally need something better because the overall performance needs keep going up. Holy shit we aren't writing software that processes less or processes less information but more and more.

>Yeah, naturally there is some downwind but overall the consumer has withstood all this and remains very bullish.
the consumer has been resilient for two reasons: 1. they are forced to spend more money because of a devalued dollar. 2. they are putting everything on their credit cards(creating more debt at ridiculous interest rates.) it's a powder keg.

>>56528043
I'm not talking about someone with a net worth under $4M
the real, ultra rich - beyond just "set for life" ($4M 4% rule)
they are willing to spend more on something like a t-shirt, if the t-shirt is plain and doesn't flash their wealth (but, people who are rich and can identify the brand of this plain t-shirt know "oh that's a really expensive t-shirt" it's like saying 'I'm really rich" but without flashing it to people who don't know anything about this high fashion)
wearing a rolex is like someone winning the lottery and going out and buying a cadillac - unless the rolex is very old, you got it from your father / grandfather, OR it's very understated without a ton of gold / diamonds - especially if it's a rare sports one - then it's okay - if you're wealthy enough to be wearing one
otherwise you're looked at as someone who can't manage their money, who doesn't have money, but is buying a rolex in order to have the appearances that you have money - and to the super wealthy, there is nothing more disgusting than someone pretending to be wealthy

The FED can't afford to keep the markets propped up anymore. They got to fund two wars, bail out the government, bail out all the banks(which will all fail, btw), and continue purchasing bonds at a record pace so that the entire debt market doesn't implode.

>>56528136
>The FED can't afford to keep the markets propped up anymore.
Funny guy.

The problem isn't that GPUs are overpriced, it's that big vidya is turning into movie game shit that necessitates high-end GPUs even though you get less inherent gameplay.

default rates are surging, actually, with no end in sight. banks will default, businesses are defaulting, homeowners mortgage defaults are surging along with foreclosures. the treasury is borrowing 3/4 of a trillion dollars so that it doesn't default. the entire house of cards is collapsing. all of this in face of high inflation.

>>56528090
Anything short of massive QE and rate cuts is a death sentence for them. Short end yields aren't falling, the yield curve will uninvert and it very clearly wants to do so by selling off the long end since that's the only thing that's moving.

The problem with vidya is that there are no good games anymore. Microsoft just committed $100B to make call of duty for 10 more years

The only thing keeping banks from defaulting is the BTFP stealth QE.

>>56528165
>"Soft Landing"

>>56528171
Best I can do for you is a pause...

>>56528152
Hmmm, so pretty much as I expected. Yes, the treasury is kind of forced to keep issuing new bonds to keep up with the debt. And yes China and Japan are substantial buyers that have of kind of ceased buying but started selling.
They gotta finance that debt somehow and the US bonds are the single most wanted asset on the market so it makes sense.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out assuming the rates will be held for another 6 months+ at this level.
>banks will default
Literally cannot happen. If it does and BoA and JP morgan and others were to default and their unrealized truly massive debt losses were to actually realize, the entire economy would get fugged. The FED won't allow that to happen

>>56528147

If a frickin PS4 (or is it PS5) can dish out something as beautiful looking as the final Uncharted, we can make anything run well on a decent computer. Problem is that developers keep getting worse.
I have a GTX 1070 which is serving well and allows me to play my ultra modded W3. Plus I keep getting older so I honestly don't even care about the super graphics these new games supposedly possess (even though I think most look like crap or have weird uncanny valley effects)

OK this is one of those areas where I will agree the need for newer generation graphics card isn't necessary because it's fucking ridiculous that triple A gaming studios will blow their budget just so they can render the fucking peach fuzz on an androgynous masculine looking ugly female colored protaganist so the marketing department can pander how the game is "for everyone" while appealing to no one and the game mechanics and actual writing/game story take the back burner and are total dog shit. People buy the stupid goy slop tier video games that have to be patched up after release because they blew through their budget polishing a turd instead of trying to make a good game. I rarely buy into newer games and find myself choosing older replayable games over new realeses.

I would have to relisten to remember exactly which product but a major architecture is becoming obsolete that accounts for a lot of their sales. More importantly what I was listening for as someone who doesn't trade individual stocks was that she said at least 20 times during the call that there's excessive supply for pc parts and there will be a minimum 6-8 month period before this clears. That means price cuts. That's not good for extremely high PE companies.

But the stock rocketed anyway and that's exactly why I don't trade cults

This.
There is so much pivot anticipation underlying the market right now.
But in actuality, they don't mean pivot.
They don't even necessarily mean interest rates in general.
What they do mean though is QE/QT/the FED's balance sheet.
They want le printer to brrrr again.
Everybody is applying severe mental gymnastics to interpret anything the FED says or do into
>le printer gon runneth sooner than you thinketh.

>Short end yields aren't falling,
Yes. We'll be entering the 2030s with a FED funds rate of (positive) 7%.
>the yield curve will uninvert
This, but unironically.
Everything 2y out or longer will return to their average over time "premiums" in bps over the FED funds rate.
It will take a while because le market managed to live in full pivot and return to QT delusional euphoria for almost a full year from October '22 to August '23 while there was zero (0) indication that the FED would reverse course.
Trillions of $ were wasted.

>>56528274
Console gaming arguably peaked in the SNES PS1 era. There's some good stuff from later on like Smash bros and Pikimen and the 3d arena shooter genre coming from the PC was really fun for a while but it's otherwise been in a secular decline quality wise.

>>56528277
So does that mean if i want to get a 128 GB RAM it will be cheaper? I'm trying to run llama-70b on my local computer or some other OpenAI based retrieval pipeline and i hope the parts for prices go down since you said they said there is excess supply for PC parts you said that right you said that they said that there is more supply than demand for RAM / GPU components right this is what you said that they said

>>56528274
I still live under the old impression that everything post-SNES era is a pain to emulate even though it's probably piss easy now

>>56528198
I'm in the same boat. Bought my 1080 in fall 2017 when the first huge crypto pump killed supply of every single card below $500.
Since then nothing has changed. Supply has shifted towards higher end cards that still cost more and more without much benefit. They took that temporary shortage and created a new price floor.

Only reason to upgrade would be for the raytracing support, but I just don't care that much. Rather play something like hades.

>>56528273
sure, you can make macroeconomic bets based on solid data. if you understand economics well enough, this is a viable strategy. but you also need a lot more money because you have to weather the dips and spikes that go against the trend.

everybody is waiting for "the next big thing."
so many hopes rest on GTA 6, which development I suspect is in severe trouble.
Cyberpunk was supposed to be the "bridge game" between "now" and GTA 6, but it failed because of the botched initial release and promises they didn't keep.
Starfield was the #2 contender to the "bridge game" and it failed miserably.
Video gaming quite literally is in a vacuum right now.
There's nothing, until GTA 6 gets announced.
And since it hasn't been already and given that we're at the end of 2023 already... I suspect that Rockstars undisclosed external playtests yielded disastrous feedback and results. Most likely not technically, but shit might not be fun and engaging as people (and investors) expect.

Remember. We're in this weird time where according to the paste
>we'll see the system push back on several woke topics and agendas in order to get white males re-motivated for the upcoming war.

Simple question, since this is obviously happening right now... what if GTA 6 is full on woke? Which it probably is.

Full on woke is in the process of not being considered fun any longer.
