Oh I didn't realize finviz had that information. I'm learning all kinds of stuff today, especially stuff I didn't know before.

I come to realize that one shouldn't look down on AMRS and John Melo

This guy has been with AMRS through thick and thin and may even have to suck dicks and prostitute his children in order to get cash for AMRS

This guys is a survivor and is now stronger than ever

LONG AMRS

that was me. i got 2 perent growth on my investment today. but honestly after doing some math out today... fucking ActiBlizz continues to be my fucking workhorse. If it drops back down to near 70 i might just dump my whole portfolio and become part of the fucking board.

>paging Buy Reversal Guy
when you search for stocks on finviz what do you look for? daily volume? etc.

>>8141309
You know vol and the market can increase simultaneously, right? Volitility/=Short.

>>8141342
I think ATVI will be soaring until their next report

Just like TTWO did last year

70$ (~20 day MA) is indeed a good entry point

>>8141473
Why did it get investigated ? Do you think this huehuehuahue company is legit or does it serve monkey soup and get btfo ?

I remember ALXN got investigated in Brazil and it tanked hard on that day

In the end it was fucking nothing and Shkreli made mad money by buying that dip

>>8141383
This happens close to zero percent of the time in equities and even if vol doesnt go down it certainly cannot increase indefinitely. Have you actually really thought about this at all? It doesnt seem like it.

Thank you based Nips

>>8141795
No, I'm not a volitility gambler. Someone needs to add UVXY/SVXY to this picture.

>>8141857
>no DRYS

>>8141871
Yeah, let the cucks hold so everyone else can get out and then it will tank harder. ADVM is the stock to long right now, earnings on the 6th.

>>8141408
i am really interested to see if the blizz announcements on e3 makes a are impact on the overall price. if it does i probably will actually go all in.

>>8141605

Vol gambling is a notch below cryptards.

>>8141782
Everything's fucking shady in monkeyland, the investigation started last year and this drop today represents the 3rd phase of the investigation

That being said, the only direction this company can go is up since it is the biggest food company in brazil and one of the largest in the world, also they're planning to launch a new brand focused on selling food to muslims, so that should bring a increase to stock prices.

I'd buy the dip today had i not invested everything into it 5 days ago

Who knows, but I expect it to be touching $200 by eoy with borderlands3 and RDR2 releasing

>>8142090
>once almost

>>8141978
Not if you buy the vix at around 8 - 9
it cant mathematically go lower

>>8142160
why is that?

>>8142101
I think at least RDR2's success is priced in.
Don't know about Borderland 2.
In my opinion, TTWO is a riskier play than ATVI

>>8142189
because then you'd be dividing by zero dummy

>AMRS shilling in the OP
>muh putting a swastika in my name like a edgy 14 yr old
Shit thread. Saged

>>8142189
I have no idea, its just the way it is
technically, going below 9 implies 0 movement

>>8142248
We have been below 9 before. From a technical standpoint shorting VIX when it's above 16 is a great move.

>>8141978
You are badly mistaken. Vol trading is an actual science unlike crypto meming.

>>8142277
It went sub $10 52 times last year, pretty much once a week it dipped below 10.

>>8141360
Sorry for the late response. I usually search by price (under $7), then sort by change. I then look at stocks with between -5% to -1% changes, as these will typically be the only ones that fit the model. From what I've seen so far, volume doesn't really effect things but I haven't bought any stocks with <10,000 volume

>>8142277
Id rather buy at 8 or 9, thats free moiney
shorting too dangerous

>>8142296
no, it's quite alright. I appreciate your response, how much do you usually put on a single stock? if 1-5 percent per trade is usually how much you get then I assume you might trade 1k and get 10-50$ worth for each trade.

I'm just trying to make sense of this and the cost/risks involved.

>>8142302
The problem with that, is when vix is low like that, its easy for UVXY to go up like 4% only to just give it right back in a mater of minutes.

>>8142294
>when the vol comes back and no one is ready because they stopped taking vol seriously

https://youtu.be/bZ8kZF2tz1I

are people seriously taking day trading tips from 4chan?

>>8142781
lol no one here has enough money to day trade here

>>8142812
This. Secondly, day trading in general is a losing man's game.

>>8142391
About $100-$125 per stock it I'm doing 4 stocks that day. The yields aren't very big, but it all gets reinvested every day. The hope is that it starts compounding after a while which will allow me to eventually invest a thousand or two per day.

Also I should note that I didn't find any before close today because 1) I have a bad headache and 2) the market was crap on Thursday which makes it hard to find stocks with a day 2 low that is lower than Day 1's low

>>8141617

sounds like a solid plan, hope to see you doing fairly well off in a few years

>Also I should note that I didn't find any before close today
aw, that's a shame. I was going to look at those stocks to base off what I should be looking for.

>>8142851

>>8143118
day trading without enough money to effectively day trade? You just figured out /biz/'s mission statement.

>>8142217
>I think at least RDR2's success is priced in
Some of that pricing went away when the game was delayed, we'll see more anticipation buying between now and October but at the end of it all it'll probably be in need of a correction. Use caution but buy now if you're going to. BL3 may not be on the radar for this so it's hard to tell, haven't been a videogame fag in a serious way in a long time, are people still hype over borderlands?

>>8143165
ustocktrade used to provide this...

>>8143008
>About $100-$125 per stock
what? trading and fees would eat up any potential profits.
>The yields aren't very big
also I'm getting the feeling that people here have made the mistake that your goal when trading is to make more than zero dollars.
the goal would be to make more money than the bench mark. which is what you would have made if you had just bought the index and forgot about it.

>>8140542
>goes down 5 years straight
>decent at worst

>>8143099
Thanks man! That's nice to hear.
Don't worry, there'll be more chances. I work nights Tuesday-Friday so I'm always able to comb through and find examples for the next day. Too bad these threads die shortly after close.

>>8141978
>I'm too retarded to understand basic finance
brainlets out

>>8143212
I worded that badly. I'm not buying stocks for $100-$125. I'm buying $100-$125 worth of these cheap shares I find.

>>8143316
>implying there's any sort of fundamental difference between 100 shares for 1 dollar and 1 share for 100 dollars

>>8143352
only difference is one way will guarantee you don't lose a lot of money in a short time frame, the other almost guarantees you lose a lot of money in a short time. Can you guess which is which?

>>8143316
that's even worse
have you not been paying attention to the money you've spent on trading fees?

>>8143352
I can sell 50 shares of the $1 stock if I want but I can't do that with 1 share of a $100 stock.

>>8143387
There is literally no difference.
That's which is which. The only thing that determines gains or losses is percentage moves.

>>8143417
holy shit you should not be trading stocks if that's your reasoning.

>>8143417

>>8143419
If he is only spending $100-$125 on stocks and wants to buy smaller stocks, i'm assuming he would be buying more penny stocks or highly volatile stocks, which was my reasoning.

>>8143402
I'm aware. It's two cents per transaction when I sell.
>>8143467
Why? Why buy cheap stocks at all then?

>>8143417
>>8143467
I think he's using robinhood exclusively which is what would explain his small stock trades. it's not a bad strategy, but it is kind of risky without proper stop losses and nerves of steel if you're trading more than he currently does.

>>8143507
Yeah I'm just using Robinhood cash

>mfw Big 5 saves the fund

>>8143503
People are kind of being dicks to you about this but the point is, you shouldn't be buying a stock simply because of it's cost you need to check out their financial documents, some apps will analyze this shit for you but you generally have to pay. If you start investing without knowing what you are doing, you will lose money, you'll panic sell, buy high sell low, many other things /biz/ loves to do. Download thinkorswim and use their fake money investing simulator for a couple of weeks before you jump in.

did not expect this thread to be here when I got back
first of all, stocks aren't cheap, they're just dividing the company into smaller pieces
it's like going to grocery store and only buying grapes because everything is sold by the pound

also this board is willfully ignorant about how complicated valuating stocks are. imagine trying to figure out the value of a small restaurant; you have to calculate the monthly profits, local shopping trends, the competition, etc. expanding that to international companies includes stuff like corporate taxes, geopolitics, even the weather.

that isn't even the hard part. what makes above average profits pretty much impossible (aside from luck) is that you're competing against people with way more resources and technology. it doesn't matter if you can figure out that restaurant is worth exactly $500k, some finance guy with a team of computer scientists and a super computer farm can do it faster than you. everything you buy ends up being a 50/50 bet, just with more to win or lose on each end.

EMH and random walk theory is wrong though.

The existence of speculative bubbles is the biggest argument against random walk hypothesis.

>>8146744
I'd agree that the market isn't perfectly efficient.
but with a multi million/billion dollar bounty on finding those inefficiencies, why would you think you can find and act on them faster than the people with an army of employees backing them?

People can say what they want about the value of trading, but if you aren't investing simply for the fact of keeping you money on par with inflation, you're a brainlet.

Was looking at robin hood. Am a new investor looking to learn how to do it casually. Does robin hood have some kind of tutorial or somewhere I can learn how this stuff works?

the alternative to actively trading individual stocks isn't not trading to all. the alternative is index investing
a simple balanced portfolio should net you you about 5% after inflation.

>>8148084
Bonds are for brainlets, buy AMRS instead

>>8148248
even people who do a few trades per year statistically do worse than the index. there is a significant amount of research showing that active traders lose out to the average most of the time.
at least open up a paper account and compare yourself to an index fund. just looking at the green numbers on your screen is a good way of fooling yourself out of your own profits

>>8148363
Statistically you are right, that doesn't mean people don't make money trading the way I do though. Different strokes for different folks thats all. I've done well so far, doesn't mean I won't lose money, but it doesn't mean I won't make money either. I've done well so far.
