/biz/ - Business & Finance

I'm buying $BAS - it's been taken to the woodshed because of low oil prices, but there is a divergence starting to form over the last couple of days. For today, Oil down, BAS up 8%.

RUSS is unstoppable. WHY?

>>582383
Because U.S.-Russian tension is building, especially after Congress just passed that bill allowing lethal aid to Ukraine and new sanctions on Russia

UGAZ and SCO

ARE THESE CONSIDERED LONG TERM OR SHORT TERM STOCKS?

>>582451
Short DWTI until oil hits $45-$50, wait for it to rebound and buy UWTI and hope oil goes up.

>>582383

Its pegged to the ruble, have you looked at the ruble lately? Its being destroyed.

>>582491
UWTI has great potential

>>582507
Ruble has no chance to recover any time soon. it's still gonna be climbing with no doubt?

>>582524
No.

It's not pegged to the Ruble directly. It's directly pegged to the Market Vectors Russia Index.

It has more to do with political instability than the Ruble, IMO.

I'll close my position on RUSS the minute Putin announces a compromise in Ukraine. At that point, sanctions will likely be lifted and the Russian stock market will rebound.

Until then, I'm holding the fuck out of this.

Got like 40% returns already.

>>582530
>I'll close my position on RUSS the minute Putin announces a compromise in Ukraine.
That's what I mean, he is not going to wake up anytime soon and loosen up with west.

>>582534
I don't know about that. Sergey Lavrov said today that Russia would be willing to compromise if the Ukrainian constitution was re-written to allow the eastern regions more autonomy.

Seems like that's something that both parties will be willing to come together on.

I'll probably only hold this for another week or two, then I'll move my funds into UWTI for dem dere oil gains.

I never wanted to e a "day trader" and I still don't consider myself one, but fuck, this is fun.

RUSS just broke $48.

Opened trading at $36 today. Hello 32% daily return, nice to meet you.

>>582548
It would be political suicide for Putin to soften up on Ukraine now though

when did lavrov say that?

>>582560
Yesterday during his meeting with Kerry in Rome.

I don't think it'd be as bad as you'd think. Putin has developed this cult of personality where he can do pretty much no wrong in the eyes of his people. All it'd take for him to save face is to say that he made a compromise that allows him to exert influence on eastern ukraine while saving the Russian economy.

It's no secret that the economy is going to shit in Russia. People there just think that the West is trying to destroy Russia just for fun.

>>582534
if you don't consider yourself a "a day trader".
Is it may be you only own few stocks that allow you to read up on to be more confident?

>>582565
I don't follow any stocks at all. That seems beyond my breadth of knowledge.

I have a degree in economics, so I have some understanding of macroeconomic trends. I try to take advanatage of these trends by investing in ETFs for sector/systematic trends and ETNs for commodity trends.

>>582562
I guess Putin is losing too much money.

But will the Saudis also agree to whatever agreement is reached?

This shit is so confusing I can't tell if the Saudis are working with the US interests against Russia, or against US shale.

>>582569
The U.S. is incentivizing the Saudis to do what they're doing by pumping out lots of Shale.

Once the U.S. stops providing such a huge supply of a substitute to Saudi oil, the price of Saudi oil will go up and the overall market price will go up.

The Saudis aren't just pumping out shit loads of oil to fuck up Iran and Russia. I don't think that'd make economic sense for them unless the U.S. was pumping out such huge fucking amounts of Shale.

>>582567
You obsessively found RUSS. HOW?

>>582608
Search russian leveraged inverse etf. It'll be like the first result on google.

>>582609
>etf
i see because it's still in your interest you were able catch it.

following trends aren't easy.

>>582618
I just wish I had bought in at like $10 back in October.

I entered at $33

>>582632
why UWTI?

I'm thinking of getting in on USO right now: It's at the lowest it's ever been.

Think I should wait until tomorrow or buy in now?

>>582368

picked up some slb

Gunna double up on SPXL at the end of this week. This SPX dip isn't gunna last long.

Gunna be making some sick returns for the next month or three.

>>582530
Putin himself and many Russian politicians said: even if the sanctions get lifted, the bridges have been burned for the most part, and the new contracts with Asian and Middle-Eastern partners will not be broken. Western people pretty much lost the market to the east and Russians are principled people.

So, ruble will not stabilise, in fact, it's '98 all over again. I'm pretty sure ruble will keep diving down and I think there is a chance that a new currency might be introduced (but that's highly unlikely).

>>582652
>USO
Wait a week. Its gone down %5 just today so yeah

>>582679
>the new contracts with Asian and Middle-Eastern partners will not be broken

But then Russia would have to move Moscow to the East.

>principled people
More like stubborn, stupid people.

>>582679
what if sanctions get lifted and oil prices make a come back.

>>582687
Oil prices will keep going down, unless the conflict in Ukraine escalates even further. (Or somewhere else where USA will see profit in interfering) So, I'm pretty sure there will be a shit ton of provocations and more info wars to follow to get the engine started.

Why does AAPL keep dropping guys?

>>582699
Who knows.

AAPL is such a glamour stock that there is probably little to no logic behind any of the price swings.

BLACKBERRY bbry. set to announce REPORT this friday.
buy?

>>582697
Oil going down in price actually makes sense, because that would mean the military is buying a SHIT TON of oil right now as preparation for possible future conflict.

But I'm just guessing.

>>582705
>oil going down means the military is buying a lot

What?

>>582706
At current price.

>>582701
buy after report or before?

>>582708
.....Yeah, but the military doesn't control, or even have an effect on, the price of oil

I fail to see your logic.

I'm looking to get into the stock market. I have no experience whatsoever. I've learned a bit about it but not enough to where I feel comfortable to trade with confidence. Are there any guides, tips, general things to help me get going that you guys could suggest?

>>582718
Start with a practice account on etoro or something.

Is it happening /biz/ (christmas-crash)?

Wtf is going on here (bid/ask)?

>>583349
what makes you ask?

>>583494
Last few trading days/weeks

>>583497
Definitley a crash faggot pull everything out or lose it all

>>583538
Will do, thanks!

I've started an automatic stock screener by taking raw analysis from finviz and straight into excel. Is this the best way to go about this? What in particular should I be looking for in my analysis apart from the usual?

Will jump again tomorrow before crashing.

>>583538
BUY VELOCITY BEARS

>>583717
what's the symbol for that?

also I have a question-
I was looking up triangle petro online and it said investor owned 101%
what does that mean? They owe money to investors?

>>582368

Tip Toppity Kek

Stay pleb my friend

Got Emerald Oil (EOX) this morning, up 11% so far

>>584682

>>583713
That's fun.

Reminds me of the dude who I told to sell his RUSS after buying in at $56.08.

I don't think his accounts looking to good right noq.

>>582380
up 14% today, aww yiss

>>584294

Originally a volcano. Then, the outside soft rock wore down faster than the hardened magma.

>>582368
USO and Z are going to both be up 60% in 6 months

>>584771
What is the Zillow play?

>>584781
Buy in now. Wait till hits 200 a share then dump it

>>584784
I was trying to ask WHY it would go up

is oil coming back was thinking on buying TMPL?

>>584771

> Z up 60% in 6 months
> kek

The company has a price/sales multiple of 13-14, struggles to make a profit, forward PE of over 100, merged with an equally shit company, run by Manlet Jew who has dumped over $50 million worth of shares without 1 buy.

Its an insider liquidation fund. Executives use the stock as their own personal piggy bank, methodically dumping it with the frothing market-wide euphoria towards dogshit.

Its been the ultimate momo play last summer but highly doubt it ever goes to $200. It an outright ponzi and their business model of paid advertising and move into mobile is a bunch of hot air. It bet my shriveled nutsack its $65 or lower in the next 6 months

>>583654
Answer up bitches

>>584859
What does your "usual" analysis consist of?

>>584879
P/E ratios, dividends, price, insider trading (too little or too much), past performance (particularly after 2008 during the bear), sector, profit ratios, capital, competition, debt ratios and finally pulling up the 8k and 10q.

>>584823
Oil is having a slight green correction right now, will be heading back down within a day or two IMO.

Only a retard would be buying/selling on a day like today

>>584902
Good day for trading, bad day for taking up positions.

>>584890
Everything except an opinion on the future, which is responsible for 100% of share performance

Good luck to you regardless

>>584916
>What are 8Ks and 10Qs?

Do you know absolutely nothing?

>not moving all of your funds into SPXL

An uptrend has been established. October Dip 2.0 is over. It's like you guys don't even want returns.

>>582710
If you have insider info buy before.
If you have no info, look at rumours and what others say and buy the day before if overall "news buzz" is positive.
If you buy after report you miss out on all daily profits cause reports are usually released when markets clised

If you want to gamble and are too lazy to take real advice and due your own due diligence, here's a few things you can try.

Go on a stock screener like Finviz, and screen for stocks with less than $1 price and relative volume over 2. Look at the daily. Buy in the direction of the move that day. Gaps are the best bet.

Or search for cheap BioTech stocks without any drugs on the market. They aren't going to have good fundamentals because they are spending it all in development with no drugs on the market yet to generate sales. Make sure they have at least 50 employees so they aren't complete shit. Look on their website for drugs they are making. Something that treats a lot of people (sales $$$) is better than some drug that treats something only 500 people have. And make sure they are partnered with a big pharma company (needs distribution). If they have any in Phase III (last phase), buy.

Enjoy. I am not Tim Sykes.

>>584682
This made me lol so hard.

>>582699

In general the market dropped the past couple of days.

Even in 2008 some companies did decent but had share prices fall since everyone was in panic mode. The market can remain more irrational than you can remain rational - remember that. Do not panic.

>>584758
Neat, thanks.

Around 2000 RURIC (russian real estate investment company)

Which will cost around 50 dollars worth (had a little bittle and have now participated in the rights offering with my tiny portion just for lulz)

I'm a bit new to investing, but is there an inverse ETF that's NOT volatile as fuck? I'm looking for one that will move slowly and steadily if the market trends downwards, which is what I'm going to bank on for long.

>>585775
wtf

>>585775
Might as well go shoot craps at the casino

>>585792
Mute volatility by holding cash/bonds. If you want something that goes up half as much as the market goes down, just hold 50% cash and 50% a -1x inverse ETF, or 75% cash and 25% a -2x ETF, etc.

Seriously, what the fuck do you think you're doing trading bitcoin and litecoin? Do you think any body who makes real money trading ANYTHING fucks with those? They're like this generations pump and dump (Google it, faggot).

Why don't you try doing some research into investments and, god forbid, cryptocurrencies before you come on here posting complete shit that perpetuates the misinformation that permeates this board.

Out of curiosity what broker does everyone here use?

>>586070

Anyone here a fan of CFDs or spread betting?

>>585879
Interesting, I didn't think about it that way. Thanks.

What is the average trade execution time for ecm brokers? I'm still messing around on sims but I just lost a couple hundred dollars because of a 20 minute delay imposed by the specific sim.

Is this shit normal?

>>591381
It's over $109 now, I don't think it'll take too much longer to hit $110, lol.

WMC just payed out dividends and the stock dropped as usual. It's a high risk, high dividends stock so people get out of it when they pay out. I'm gonna reinvest back into WMC

Well damn, oil jumped back up a bit and I ended up panic selling at $106, so you win this time. Now it's time to get my Christmas shit taken care of.

Will it bounce off the bottom of the channel and confirm the reversal + uptrend or will it break through and continue falling, who's betting today?

How low will oil go?

thanks, and how will I buy oil when, say, it reaches about 37 (is this estimate of a bottom correct?). Buy ETFs? but I won't be doubling my money then....

Has anyone been following solar at all? I've been thinking about getting in on that, since conceptually it seems like a good long-term investment

I have a 401k with decent S&P500, S&P400, Russell 2000 and MSCI ACWI ex USA index funds.

Given that I put a lot more into the 401k than the IRA, the 401k will make up the bulk of my portfolio. I'm wondering what I should actually buy in the 401k. Just do the S&P500 and get my small caps/international in the IRA? I don't think I have enough space in the IRA to do that properly.

Or should I attempt to replicate the total market? Something like 80% S&P500 and 20% mid/small? And then, again, use the IRA for other shit like small value or REITs

Solar panels are horribly inefficient. The only effective way is to run it through some kind of Rankine cycle.

Not the same guy, but you could always buy a leveraged ETFs, or gold (seeing as it correlates highly with oil). Personally, I'm jumping in on the leveraged ETFs and probably a few stabler large oil companies

WHAT ARE YOU BUYING

>>591358
>>591371

anyone?

Buying a shitload of KBR and a little WWWW (that's 4, not 3, double yous).

Buy $SNSS, they suffered a heavy hit but with the recent upgrades and endless market speculation it could hit $3 in the near future.

DRN SOXL BIB

ZU is my long play for 2015. SHW is my short for the first quarter of 2015.

I have a conservative price target of $37 for ZU and think SHW will re-price closer to its historic average P/E of 15 (move to $214 or $185, depending on market conditions). I'm expecting a correction into and after its January Q4 earnings release.

Should I stay the fuck away from GREK or any other greek index? I'm so tempted.

Fuck it, I'm buying Xom.

is it worth it to still short USO or is it going to bounce up again?

Quick question - is there any hassle of me as a Swede buying American stocks and index funds? I'm interested in VTSMX but I dont know how much of a pain in the ass it'd be.

>>596496
You can only speculate on that. IMO oil is going down a few dollars more, but it may also rebound. No one knows.

>>596502
As a Finn I would say that no. Sweden has a tax agreement with USA, so it is going to be the same as you would buy Swedish stocks.

Other European countries like France are fucking shit and there is a lot of hassle.

and for today?

>buying when there isn't a dip.

It seems like the market always drops on monday and recovers a bit as the week goes on, why does this happen /biz/?

It doesn't. Else everyone would buy on monday, so prices would go up and then it'd stop happening. Ergo, it doesn't happen.

SDRL is a toss up. From the analysis that I've read, they have contracts locked up til like 2016 or so. They should be able to stay afloat til they, but if gas prices stay low, they're fucked.

It's just a penny stock. Through pump and dump operations (spam email, recommendation in some yahoo stock board, twitter/stocktwits,...).

Here's a video of a few hackers that made money from stocks because of spam emails:

How fucked really though? I heard somewhere that offshore drilling is considerably cheaper than fracking, and no one's cut back on fracking yet. I should spend some more time looking into this but I thought I read that Seadrill's assets are worth more than their current market cap, but then if oil keeps tanking who would want to buy their platforms. Also, according to their earnings report they cut their dividend for the purposes of debt payback and trying to pick their spots in value-buying more assets.

I'm a complete pleb at this but it all sounds good to me.

USDOLL/RUB is a safe bet IMO. Ruble is getting smoked right now.

Thinking about going big into LL monday morning. Seems undervalued. Thoughts???
