Let's make 2024 better than 2023.

How do I invest in onions? Actual onions, not soi faggot filter onions.

I never ate onions before and I'm 35 years old and started eating them. I'm really liking them and feeling more robust. More people should eat these, and I think they will.

>>57127694
Careful with that loose talk, buddy. Next you'll be asking anons how to bet against the next capeshit movie.

>The Onion Futures Act is a United States law banning the trading of futures contracts on onions as well as "motion picture box office receipts".[1]
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Futures_Act

>Understanding a Crack-Up Boom
>The crack-up boom develops out the same process of credit expansion and the resulting distortion of the economy that occurs during the normal boom phase of Austrian business cycle theory. In the crack-up boom, the central bank attempts to sustain the boom indefinitely without regard to consequences, such as inflation and asset price bubbles. The problem comes when the government continuously pours more and more money, injecting it into the economy to give it a short-term boost, which eventually triggers a fundamental breakdown in the economy. In their efforts to prevent any downturn in the economy, monetary authorities continue to expand the supply of money and credit at an accelerating pace and avoid turning off the taps of money supply until it is too late.
>In Austrian business cycle theory, in the normal course of an economic boom driven by the expansion of money and credit the structure of the economy becomes distorted in ways that eventually result in shortages of various commodities and types of labor, which then lead to increasing consumer price inflation. The rising prices and limited availability of necessary inputs and labor put pressure on businesses and causes a rash of failures of various investment projects and business bankruptcies. In ABCT this is known as the real resource crunch, which triggers the turning point in the economy from boom to bust.

>>57127704
Holy shit. They really are conspiring to keep hoard all the onions for themselves. I will load up on some onions on the secondary market (Whole Foods) tomorrow. But I really should find a way to get access to the spot onion market.

>>57127740
>As this crisis point approaches, the central bank has a choice: either to accelerate the expansion of the money supply in order to try to help businesses pay for the increasing prices and wages they are faced with and delay the recession, or to refrain from doing so at the risk of allowing some businesses to fail, asset prices to fall, and disinflation (and possibly a recession or depression) to occur. The crack-up boom occurs when the central bank chooses and sticks with the first option.
>Economist Friedrich Hayek famously described this situation as like grabbing a "tiger by the tail."3 Once the central bank decides to accelerate the process of credit expansion and inflation in order to head off any recession risk, then it continually faces the same choice of either accelerating the process further or facing an even greater risk of recession as distortions build in the real economy.
>As part of this process, consumer prices rise at an accelerating rate. Based on current price increases and market participants' understanding of central bank policy, consumer expectations of future inflation also rise. These create positive feedback that leads to accelerating price inflation that can far outstrip the rate of central bank money expansion and become what is then known as hyperinflation.

>>57127740
>>57127744
>History of the Crack-Up Boom
>In the early 1920s, von Mises witnessed and decried hyperinflation in his native Austria and neighboring Germany.5 Von Mises played an instrumental role in helping Austria to avoid a crack-up boom but could do nothing but sit back and watch as the German Reichsmark collapsed one year later. He was adamant that not keeping credit expansion in check could pave the way for a deadlier dose of hyperinflation that would eventually bring the economy to its knees.
>Examples of a Crack-Up Boom
>Several economies, other than Germany, have caved in after a period of credit expansion and hyperinflation, including Argentina, Russia, Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe.2 A more recent example is Venezuela. Years of corruption and misfiring government policies have led the South American country's economy to collapse in a drastic fashion. As a result, millions of Venezuelans face poverty, food shortages, and blackouts.6 According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Venezuela's economy contracted by over 35% between 2013 and 2017. Rampant inflation hasn't helped.
>By mid-2019, inflation in the country was reported to be as high as 10 million percent, meaning that a product that once cost the equivalent of one bolivar went on to cost the equivalent of 10 million bolivars.7 Things have gotten so bad that a monthly salary in Venezuela was reportedly not enough to even cover the cost of a single gallon of milk.

>The victors write the history books. Roosevelt sat in the big chair.

Why does every question have to have a partisan answer? Things are fucked nowadays and if you try and pinpoint a time, the causes and the conjecture in which it happened instead of trying to get a scapegoat like the jews or the greedy bankers you can get a clear vision of the present
And anyone who can write something "writes history" since Lucien Fevre wrote the "anals" after WW2.

Now as for the rest, how did 40 hours help in reducing unemployment? I think it did work that way in France, because one of their arguments in the 19th and 20th century regarding a establishing fixed weekly hours for labour was that it created a labour shortage, but in the US after 1929 it just made businessman not hire anyone and you had high unemployment rates and shit underpaid jobs where you´d spend half your income in counterfit rum and cigars to be ready for your second job

Another question I have regarding financial theory, how the fuck did the austrians have a developed school of thought when they were pretty much second class germans with a feudal empire of slavs, romanians and hungarians?

>>57128064
Because they had a whole society of Slavic NPCs to observe.

>>57128080
those slavs lived in shit and miserable lives up until they started catching up these past decades. surely you cant learn about advanced economies by looking at what they were in the early 20th century

Bro just read Ray Dalio. But read it unironically. You are missing a whole bunch of stuff, particularly what people do when experiencing hyperinflation, or how, inversely, hyperinflation helps domestic exports (temporarily) because everything is eventually about physical goods or services that increase physical goods, or how people attempt to escape hyperinflation by buying foreign currencies.

>>57128064
kek, if you know the importance of saving money, capital allocation, and how to negotiate deals (be it with friends or business), you are already thinking like the Austrians.

>Sam Bankman-Fried donated $100 million in stolen customer funds to US politicians.
>Today, the US Government announced they're dropping six charges against SBF and will not prosecute him for a political campaign finance violation.

>>57128271
I read a fascinating Twitter thread earlier this week where a bunch of hedge fund bros were shitting on Dalio. Basically said he’s a psycho and a complete fraud. Got lucky in the 1990s and size begets size so his AUM continues to grow. Basically he played up the cult of personality for branding purposes but is actually a completely unremarkable fund manager. The hate for him was deep.

>>57128334
That's pretty much what everyone says about Ray Dalio except for Ray Dalio.

So what's up for 2024?

Right now doesn't seem to be like the right time to be suggesting this, as our so called 'Imminent and significant' payment from Rivada has yet to materialize or has been shunted to the new year's so as not to be taxed as this year's income, but investing in LLAP would give you exposure to Lockheed Martin. And despite the tomfoolery and flim flaming about this subject, the price of LLAP did not plummet like it did with the initial news of the payment being missed or that fake and since removed wall street journal article claiming the business was for sale. We are down a bit since our mid week high, but we have sunk much lower on much weaker news. The fact that the share price is what it is shows that there are people in the know holding and quite frankly I'm disappointed there wasn't any panic selling as I wanted to purchase more without raising my average.
I will admit though, the CEO is a cookie head and we all have egg on our face for parroting his twitter rumors.
I still love the LLAP Chads full homo.

I can't believe this absolute travesty, man! Aquabounty, seriously? Messing with the sacred salmon genetics like it's some kind of twisted experiment. What happened to respecting the natural order? God made those fish with a blueprint, and now we're throwing it out the window for what? A few bucks on the stock market? It's an outrage, a slap in the face to everything holy!

I mean, come on, we're talking about creatures that have been swimming around in the divine waters since creation itself. And now, some corporate geniuses think they can just play Frankenstein with them? It's a downright betrayal of nature, and I can't fathom how anyone can be okay with this madness.

The stock market may be a rollercoaster, but this genetic tinkering is like strapping ourselves to a rocket headed straight into chaos. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? We're messing with forces beyond our comprehension, and it's infuriating that the pursuit of profit is driving us to such extremes. I'm just here, seething with righteous anger, wondering when we lost touch with the sanctity of life and started treating God's creations like expendable commodities. It's a disgrace, a disgrace I tell you!

How do I decide which etf to buy?

>>57132274
Pick the one with the highest fees. The higher the fees, the more it can pay the managers, and thus the better the management it can afford. Higher fees means better managers means better performance.

it's a "we know some things so you pay us to hold your hand for a bit" company, that just happens to coincide with customers who want to put satellites in orbit.
they have a negative moat. every single customer they help automatically becomes a competitor, in just a matter of months.

So what are we thinking for 2024? Start accumulating in Feb/March?

>>57132577
Its broad stroking a complex issue, akin to how retail is pulling out of some areas because the state is incompetent.

>>57131606
It's status for poor and middle class people. They buy that designer stuff thinking it makes them look wealthier when it just comes off as tacky, or new money at best

>>57132593
They build satellites, have a facility to manufacture PCB boards and will have a fully automated assembly line to manufacture their satellites as well as components.
It's a little more significant than what you're alluding to.

nowhere near as much as if it had gone up and to the right for all 15 of those years, which is what everyone assumes it *always* does just because that’s what it’s been doing for the last decade.

>>57131183

thats wrong though

>>57133774
Outstanding image, sir. I have saved it for future good market mornings.

>>57133790
in what way

>>57133811
in the way that yields are calculated

>>57133849
you’re thinking that because you get to buy the dip for 15 years you’re getting in at a great price and then riding it up? I think the problem is you missed out on 15 years of compounding gains compared to if it actually did go up during that time. if the shares you bought in year 1 are trading at the same price in year 15 then you’ve basically made zero dollars for all that time.

>>57133806
many good market mornings indeed sir

Should I unironically unload on GOOG? They're like 15% of my portfolio. I feel like the reliance on their search engine is too much of a risk with advances in (((AI))), especially considering their own ((((((AI))))) is behind the competition.

>>57133402
Well uh just roll into SWPPX and do all I can to avoid tapping my credit card(s) after I just did pay it off. Other than that it's merely life as normal; toss money monthly into various accounts, go to work ("do nothing") then come home and enjoy life as the coming year passes by. Hoping life is done tossing "wrenches" in my path for awhile. I'm also hoping my 2023 tax refund is nice and fat like last year's was.

Most of you here are far too autistic to handle a felonious woman. She'd take money out of your wallet for drugs, start messing with your anime figures, and make fun of you for playing dwarf fortress and EU4. You'd sleep with her once and then realize you don't want someone like that in your space. You can't get rid of chicks like that. You've been warned.

>>57134330
I've made a few very small NATGAS trades this last couple of weeks since it found something of a bottom but still not brave enough to do anything substantial with it until it hits the summer ramp. We never should forget though that we are always dealing with NIGGERS AND JEWS and anything can happen at any time. The bobo shit you were doing made the most sense.

How will the Red Sea situation affect stonks? I'd imagine we'll soon see supply lines stretched and storages empty, just like during covid shutdowns, and rising prices in some products as some of the major shipping companies have opted to go around Africa. Does this affect e.g. chip companies like Nvidia if most of that shit comes from Taiwan and has previously traveled through the Suez Canal?

it’s so it will grow. if you have $500k in the market and suddenly it goes down to $250k and ten or more years later it’s still only back up to $450k, when you were expecting the market to always go up and you were expecting that $500k be like $1mil by now, then your ability to provide for yourself when you get too old to wageslave is completely fucked.

I want a girl that has in her mind all the nonsense I know but is still willing to let me fuck her.
This is impossible but I still want it. That is what drives the production upward.

Those of you doing FA and not some other bullshit recognize this of course.

Anyone else feeling extra lonely lately? Maybe it’s because I’m 30 now and it’s New Year’s. I’ve been feeling so damn lonely. I feel like there’s no way to improve it at this age. Everything is set in stone.

I have obtained expensive micro brew stronk beer for the evening. I have not had any alcohol for about 8 months or so so i expect my tolerance is that of a questionably aged girl carrying a fake ID. At least I hope that's the case.

Why do people say only keep 3 - 6 months in emergency savings and invest the rest. What if I lose my income and the market crashes? Sounds like retarded advice. I am trying to keep my yearly salary in cash before I invest.

>>57131515

>>57135706
This is general financial advice. You want to have 6 months of savings in case something happens so that you don't have to sell investments at a loss. This is also a good idea because you don't want to be under stress, trying to not get kicked out onto the street if you don't have investments to sell and you cannot pay the rent. My advice is to have 2 months cash, 4 months in precious metals.

>>57135740
You’ve got $60k in spaxx just sitting there?

>>57135784
I have about $100K cash/bonds/savings and another $275K invested (taxable brokerage and retirement). The majority of the $100K is in SPAXX though. I’d probably be better off investing all of it because I’ll never move out or get married at this point.

>>57135643
Nope, having seen the world, I'm pretty comfy where I'm at, where I always knew I'd end up. What's keeping you from not being lonely? And why do you think you need to improve?

>>57135643
I hear this a lot, but my experience as a 30 yo kissless virgin is that isolation gets easier with time, not harder. Maybe I've just accepted it long ago, maybe the horribly toxic family dynamics I've been exposed to have more than convinced me that marriage and kids is not a source of happiness or fulfillment. I'm not sure, but no, I'm alone but not feeling particularly extra lonely just because of the day.

Yeah, you and like half this thread. Welcome to the club, pal.

>>57135938
>half

>>57135643
Genuinely mean this, but you gotta make changes in your life. You have to go out more. You gotta make a dating profile. You gotta join the gym, or go back to school, join a sport league, or just make an effort to talk to people. See if theres "new people meetup groups" in your city. Don't let the current situation become the rest of your life. I'm 33 years old, and I'm extremely grateful I've remained friends with people from college and a few old jobs. Just seeing them once a month, or sending them random memes is enough to make the daily drudgery manageable

i'm also really greatful for all my good friends on /smg/, we like to have fun here

>>57135992
The education and money situation is fine. It’s the social part that’s non-existent. I agree that I need to get out more. I’d like to make a few friends, but I’d say the dating ship has sailed. My family doesn’t even mention it anymore. I’ve never been friends with any women. I also live at home and don’t drive. Not a single woman on Earth would date a guy for those reasons. I got my license at 18 and never did anything with it. I just take Uber and public transportation. I have an intense fear of driving, so I never had any motivation to get a car.

It's tough when you're not already properly socialized. People don't find childish, awkward behavior cute in someone your age, it's just creepy and off-putting to them. You're behind the curve socially and it's going to be nigh impossible to get a foot in the door now mingling with normalniggers. What I would do? Well first get over your fear of driving, I'm half blind and I have no issues with it. It's irrational. Move out and get a mail-order bride from asia, she'll not even be aware of your weirdness, because anyone in this country would be weird to her. She'll probably love you, and be thankful and happy if you're a good person.

Anyway, uhh stocks I guess? I like to buy SCV.

>>57136092

No, that's incorrect. Infinite growth is unprovable in either direction, but his scenario expresses that growth sometimes doesn't exceed the desire to sell to growth.

>>57136075
your picks look like you're shopping/collecting instead of actually investing

if you have no conviction to put more than 10% of your money into it just scrap it unless you're mid 6-figs already trying to preserve captial

>>57136144
It's gonna *feel* like crabbing because it'll only be a slight uptick from inflation. But lmao if you think they'll repeat 2022 during an election year.

>>57136075
What are emerging markets? It's fucking 2023, the niggers in the Doctor Livingston Jungle have Iphones and OnlyFans. These faggots are still calling China an emerging market. Fuck, you're dirty I say, you rating houses and fund writers.

Sorry, your list is interesting. So you're clearly not a no more than 5% kind of guy. I think you may be too heavy in uranium, and could cut that with coal by a few %. Then again, coal may be backing down yet. China is filling their yards with it like nothing.

>Anyone else:
Did the movie start yet? I don't have the link anymore.

>>57136138
AEM is a great pick.

URA is OK. Wait for a pullback, get Cameco and URNM.

The odds that you'll underperform VOO is very high. Boomers will buy random garbage like this but won't even short VIX futures. Prognosis: ngmi.

Depends on your living expenses. If you take home 30k a yr and live without rent somewhere cheap like WV and don't bother with kids or women you could potentially still be dropping half or more of your income a year into voo and in 30 years have 3-4 million to ride out the last sad lonely infirm years of your life paying for medical debt and care your non existent kids would have helped you with instead if you invested in BABY.

>>57136528
If >>57136535 is telling the truth then aren't I better off putting most of my money in something with a consistent rate of return?

>>57136562
I look like this

>>57136579
if i had that mindset when i started, id still be a 4-fig poorfag

you'll be 65 by the time you're rich, if it doesnt let you be a NEET sooner than the mandatory NEET reitrement, then it doesnt change anything does it?

>>57136618
You get the point of "making it". It's not to be free when you're too old to enjoy it. Time is everything. I do not understand investing for the end of your life when everything is shit.

>>57136579
The maximum return for a dollar cost average strategy is, I believe, 2x leverage on the S&P. It's S&P or Nasdaq, I don't recall which performed better over how many years. With 2x leverage there are going to be periods where you eat a nasty looking drawdown. The critical thing with that is not to change anything. Keep buying on schedule, NEVER panic sell.
The point of more active trading is to gamble greater risk for potentially more short term gains. I swing trade because I don't normally lose to the S&P over the course of a year by much. I might not beat it every time but I won't be far off. Anyway this all depends on your patience, how much you want to watch the lines move, and how much you want to yolo. Successful yoloers will tell you gambling is best. They believe this because they succeeded. I will not say they're wrong.

>>57127419
If I wanted to get into stocks, how much money would I need to start seeing good gains?

Actually I guess I get it. There's nothing sadder than seeing a 60+ year old working in a grocery store or some shit. I can't imagine being that. Even if it's just to avoid that horror, it's worth even just getting a voo a month over 30 years. Still boring.
