we've been trying for small and midsize reactors or reactor arrays for years. to sort of modulate it. but basically its a sort of solar power scenario in reverse. if theres no downstream draw at night the grid overloads.

Oil skyrocketing then plunging, alongside Fed pausing and the curve uninverting, is a classic sign of recession within a couple months. Yes yes "two more weeks" thinking but the realization of that is the current selloff thesis.

The trigger would be everyone trying to beat the rush on tax rush selling/sell off into the Santa rally.

>>56687914
The bear thesis is that market makers don't have enough money, which is obviously false in all possible universes.

People are going to lose their shit at $80.

>>56688039
>>56688048
Because it’s going back to $90. Oil was ridiculously overbought and the company has old management who are stagnating their growth.

>>56688036
Because money gets made, value/services get created, and it's got to be invested somewhere. How have you faggots not understood this yet? Why do you even think the line keeps going up over time?

The thesis is that we have good economic indicators that we are getting out of this despite all you dormers interpreting everything as pessimistic as possible. We had some name faggot going on about how the CPI was going a lot higher "based on his calculations" just to get btfo'd.

>>56687914

I am bearish the economy, for the next year or so at least. I am not bullish stocks. Stocks seem hellbent on the idea that the money printer is coming back, and real rates are coming down. Gold seems to agree too or it'd be a hell of a lot lower.

It's much easier to just go long 2years on the general thesis that inflation is done and the economy is going to be in the shitter soon. Maybe stocks hold through that until the Fed finances stimmies for Biden to buy his re-election, maybe they don't, idfk.

Easier to be out of the way of that mess entirely and bet on things which are just a matter of 'when' not 'if'.

GME is actually an interesting case study. Ignoring all the memeshit about it, it was shorted by 140% of the float. Everyone piled into deep OTM longdated calls forcing market makers to buy shares to offset their risk, inflating the price, and triggering a short squeeze. Melvin Capital and others were shorting it from $40 to $4 and had no risk management or stop losses in place. Even if the price shot back up to $20, they could've closed their shorts and made out like bandits but they didn't and paid the price. There were big winners and big losers on all sides of the market

Doug? Yeah probably. I've been there for 8 years for better or for worse. But WMT is always about economy of scale and cutting costs. Wages are probably the biggest operational cost for us; hence why WMT wants to use technology to automate things. Why pay three or four people $12/hr to change price labels every week (and they have additional overhead beyond that!), when you can pay a one-time fee to have electronic labels automatically change? Stuff like that.

I think the price dropped from a combination of taking profits and outperforming this quarter, eg it's a snapback to reality and pricing in a softer Q4 for us. Most of our profits come from Q4 and hard goods, though the other quarters had good growth in online/grocery sales due to recessionary pressures. We'll be competing with other vendors for Christmas bucks for sure, consumers are price sensitive and looking for deals, which will hurt our revenue in those categories, but at the same time if our margins are wide on those items, we can probably afford to have sales and protect our revenue that way.

Either way, I think today's sell (while justified), is probably more intense than it needed to be. I'm confident we'll have support around the 160-164 level again in a few weeks/months, provided some (((outside factors))) don't shit the economy

>>56688258

Retail and organized theft is up; even though this impacts our bottom line, wages are still the biggest controllable expense.
I know it sounds silly, but shutting down the 4 Chicago/Detroit(?) stores is bullish because they were unprofitable due to the demographics there and rampant theft. Company closes the store, leases or sells the land, moves on to profitable ventures. This will actually free of millions of dollars long term. Not sure what the sunk cost is, but at least it's not bleeding money anymore.
That's just the nature of the business, and what home office will do to cut costs

In the end, excess returns in "the market" beyond inflation are purely from the dividend stream
SPX:Gold is exactly where it was in July 1971. The only reason the index level is higher is from inflation. "Value" is virtually impossible for a producer to retain over the long run.
And before you say something like "well what about the consumer goods moat companies?" KO:Gold is the same as in 1972.
Only the income stream matters and you're getting record low income streams in equities

Oil sisters, I think this might be the most interesting thing you see all week. This is WTI futures vs gold all time. Currently 10% from resistance that was briefly pierced for 3 months in 2016 Q1 and obviously the covid crash.
If gold doesn't go down, we're probably at a bottom for oil. Lines up pretty much exactly with the CL chart

>>56688712
Seems hard to imagine oil sub $70 with the current labor market conditions but then again I though the Biden put will hold. Oil is cheap in terms of gold so either gold goes down or Oil goes up more than gold.

I just autisticly went through my 401k sector options, and the only sector that has beat gold in the lifespan of it's equivalent ETF is tech. 100% of the 2% outperformance of the S&P vs gold since 06 (etf dates) has come from the tech sector.
I think a lot of that was just luck with tech already having been low still from the dot com crash, so it got giga pumped when QE kicked in.

Very strange to me that energy did not beat gold with dividends reinvested. Goes to show you how hard it is to deal with volatility.

>>56688877
I started trading 3 years ago and I still have a long way to go before I'm net profitable. But in that time I educated myself on the industry and I was considering getting my CSC (Canadian Securities Certification) within a year. I can probably take the test today with no formal study, it only has a 60% requirement to pass (and costs $1300). No idea what I'd want to do with it.

That said, Walmart owns a bank that it uses for mastercard transactions. It was previously a Schedule II bank (deposit-accepting, foreign owned) but in the last few months there was some dealings between companies and it became a Schedule I bank (deposit-accepting, domestic). I think the financial side of Walmart is understated and worth looking into as a career path.

It'll be interesting to see what the business units and financial implications of all that shit is behind the scenes. Hell, there's like 40 subsidiaries that WMT owns and includes shit like gas stations and convenience stores, with 70% of the revenue coming from the US

Our God who art in Heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Give us lots of money tomorrow, for thou art the Hebrew God. Thy covenant with Abraham promised that the people of the world shall be blessed by his seed. Give us now our daily gains, just as we give our taxpayer dollars to the land of Israel.

>>56689049
In my limited experience, scaling my positions based on volatility (via ATR) or beta seems to work well. I might not have had a lot of alpha, but I was able to do active trades and go sideways.
Just remember that a 10% loss hurts you more than a 10% gain helps you (if you gain 10%, you only need to lose 9%, and if you lose 10% you have to gain 11%). Protecting your downside is the most important thing you can do.

>>56689049
Energy stocks are trash. Not sure why you'd expect that to beat gold.

>>56689075
>I started trading 3 years ago and I still have a long way to go before I'm net profitable.

>>56689111
I lost 12k in trades over 3 years, which works out to about $300 a month (approx 20% of my NW). I might have participated in one of the biggest bull runs in history, but I was also stubborn with holding my losers on the way back down. No risk management, bad position sizing, no limits, no net strategy.
But I'd argue that I'm doing okay now, since instead of blowing $200 on a single trade, I can do a string of 10 trades and only lose $100. Most of my current losses come from fees, which I am working around (eg trading etfs rather than individual tickers). (previously it was options, fees, and holding onto losers and after it blew past a reasonable SL level)
It's also good to get my losses out of the way now, while I can afford to learn and take risks. I'd rather lose 20% of my account when it's $50k, than when I have $600k, or start trading someone else's money.

I realize this. When I first started, my dad gave me some money to do some trades for him. He ended up getting a few shares of UNG and USO, and was up like 90% on $200, and took profits at 50%.
Too bad I didn't have the knowledge I have now, otherwise that would've been a way bigger position and would've captured more of the upside. Oh well, live and learn.

I don't think one really outperforms the other so much as it's just a question of which regime you are in. Really everything just follows money supply, but depending on inflation levels money flows either to commodities or else to stuff like growth.

And 2010s were a highly disinflationary period, largely due to lowering labor and energy costs. Shale oil killed oil and pumped the shit out of tech for a decade with low inflation and rates.

Already pretty obvious 2020s are going to be another inflationary decade.

because they extract a product that has maintained near perfect parity with gold over time. If they are making say 3% on sales they should beat gold by 3%. But it's apparently way harder to run a multinational oil producer than that

>>56689197
I'm always happy to shill No Nonsense Forex (NNFX) on youtube. He's got a good mix of trading videos, psychology podcast, and TA stuff. But it really does come down to having the right mindset and process.

What they recommended is that you risk no more than 2% losses (I do 1%) on a single trade, because you if you are a career trader, you will be trading for a long time and you cannot afford to have one bad trade ruin your account.
The way this works is that you look at the ATR of the symbol (think of that as your directional exposure/delta instead) and buy as many shares as it takes to match that.
So as an example, if you had an $8,500 account, and wanted to do a swing trade on UUUU (long or short), 2% risk is $170 and it has an ATR of 0.3768. You take 170 / ATR and it works out to 451 shares.
You can take profit at 1x ATR and stop losses at 1.5x ATR. In the case of UUUU long, this would be 8.65 and 7.72; depending on your system and how you tweak it, you can set a trailing stop or sell half and move the SL to break even once it moves past 1x ATR profit, etc.
The most important thing is to have a system, never break the rules you set for yourself, and hold your winners and cut your losers

Thoughts on TMF? MIGHT PUT MY LIFE SAVINGS IN

Ok so I think soon a key part of the Govt's case against the Jblu-Save merger will be knocked down. Once that happens then the case is essentially game over. Govt lawyers won't have a leg legally to hang over the merger anymore. So I think a settlement will happen. Allows everyone to save face. Govt lawyers will say "ok if you divest these routes you can merge" Which Jblu is already doing that anyway so it won't affect them any. Another thing the govt lawyers is harping; They say once the merger happens then JBlu will jack prices. This is a non starter. Cause frankly if the merger is denied nothing prevents both JBlu and Save from jacking prices anyway. Same applies to other airlines; nothing prevents them from jacking prices. Also prices will get jacked at some point, just how it is.

Thanks, I really need this. Much appreciated

its kind of working again.

>>56689493
Better than nothing. I put a third of my account in SBRCY and LUKOY. Watching the Russia/Ukraine news has been pretty interesting since then.

What are your long term plays?
I’m thinking EVToL companies could make big money in the next decade or so. I’m bullish on JOBY and looking for others to put money in and one is bound to take off (pun intended)

Best I can do is SAVE tripling in either January or February.

Isn't JOBY always paired with ACHR?

Disclaimer: I know nothing about either business.

Demon Nancy bought the call strike I sold. I lost those shares 2 years ago.

>>56689575
This is why good trading rules are needed fr

>>56689547
Yeah people talk about them together. Googling one gives you results for the other too. JOBY is owned by apple so you know there’s some serious money going in. Archer has had some runs recently with showing off one of their aircraft in Dubai and making a deal with companies there.

>>56689482
There are two ways this is going to go:
a) Shit blows up and they drop rates
b) they keep hiking until a happens.

>>56688904
That's not remotely surprising if you've ever done software work for a large American company.

>>56689580
Fuck, it might've been me. I bought calls on it thinking the insider witch knew something and then lost my ass on them, that fucking cunt

>>56689587
Where can I learn these rules?
t. just got level-one options permission.

>>56689587

Best:
Google puts a few months ago
Also puts on banks like WFC
Worst:
I had 100% of my portfolio in NOK (long the stock) and twitter puts earlier this year.
In the beginning before I had any idea what I was doing I wrote puts on SQQQ. I lost like 10% of my money on that.

>>56689629
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, you are in for one hell of a ride
t. Been trading nothing but options for the past 3 years

You can hardly do anything with that, can you even buy calls?

>>56689629
Trading rules; so things you impose on yourself. It's meant as a method of self control and removing emotion out of the trading process. So it could be something as simple as only selling puts with a .20-.25 delta with 30-40 DTE and the position of the stock is rather good do to X, Y, and Z, etc... If it doesn't fit your rules then you simply don't trade it, there's other sustainable trades elsewhere just comes down to sticking to your guns and not falling into FOMO.
As for getting good at selling options, I would suggest doing something really basic to get a handle on it like the Wheel strategy, and then work towards things like spreads when you have more capital.

>>56689657
I have full access kek but you can buy options and sell CSP's and CC's. Other than that everything else is pretty much locked out.

so funny seeing traitors lose all their money "buying the dip" on russian stocks and currency

>>56689652
Hello my fellow derivatives enjoyer
For the most part I've only spammed credit spreads on SPX and RUT for the past few years but only trying other things now kek

>>56689652

I just want to use it to sell covered calls for a little extra income. Doubt I'll need it for much else. I'm more of an investor than a trader.

>>56689674
I understand the greeks and different spreads just fine, but I just need to find a thing that gives me consistent gains. Even had a credit spread get assigned early and fuck up my trade

>>56689685
I only bought 1 share because I thought it'd be funny and wanted to see what would happen.

>>56689703
>Wants to restrict how other people invest their capital
Sounds like you're the one that needs to reread The Wealth of Nations, Kim Jong.

>>56689707
Don't you have a Ukrainian trench to man or something?

Anyway, I more than made up for the loss with KTOS. So as long as bombs are dropping I'm happy.

>>56689715
>but I just need to find a thing that gives me consistent gains
This is will be a constant challenge till you can figure out what works best on your part. So my general advice is get good at one kind of trade, focus on the mechanics of that kind of trade, develop rules around that method, and follow it as much as possible. And when you've mastered it spider out with those foundations.
>Even had a credit spread get assigned early and fuck up my trade
I love credit spreads but I only would trade them on SPX, RUT, NDX, etc since index options can't be assigned early. Furthermore since they're Euro style options they also have better tax treatment which helps.

>>56689715
I've never understood why people write names for all these. It's like how in Java they have English names for every different kind of lambda.

maybe the real inflation was the deflationary spiral we created along the way

I went to /an/ and visited the aquarium thread because I'm thinking of intentionally an aquarium at some point soonish. They had a webm I think the market would enjoy.

Are you perhaps referring to the American authorities that allowed and enabled me to purchase these shares before they got frozen? Either way I don't understand your adversarial mindset, and don't regard a frozen ten-bagger as a loss. It's looking more and more promising by the month.

>>56689742
They have different names because they are different things, what do you mean?

You're either with us or against us. And if you are giving money to the Ruskies. Then protip you are against us.

You the equity market in general, or right now? There's always opportunity somewhere. Maybe it's long equity, maybe it's short. Maybe it's benefiting from theta decay and trading currencies or metals. There's always a way to make money.

>>56689771
I think he's confused about excessive labeling for "every little thing". But you're right, they are different things and it's just part of the jargon that people need to know as they learn more

>>56689756

>>56689864
It's called hedging!

Blackrock is almost always the winner. While I'm not a crypto bug, it is very telling that the BTC and ETH etfs only got approved after Blackrock submitted theirs

DNS stands for Domain Name System. The internet runs on computers and servers and shit having numeric IP addresses (e.g. 104.18.236.77) but users want to type in domain names (e.g .4channel.org). DNS is how your computer maps what you type in -> numbered servers out there in the great beyond.

>>56690017
dig, a DNS trouble shooting tool included with one of the more popular open source nameservers.
It's showing that A IN www.samsclub.com resolves to some akamai CDN server after a couple of CNAME redirects while the other guy was getting NXDOMAIN from his resolver which indicates an issue with his ISP/router/DNS cache.

Why? An overwhelming majority of those things don't care about you and never will. Life is brutal anon and caring is over rated.
