I'm up like 0.75% I think. But admittedly I currently have very little exposure and am sitting on a lot of dosh. I'm likely gonna start putting into BBY though since it's been getting pounded for days.

Yes, they are guaranteed to go up automatically. No man, I've seen stocks get destroyed on their IPO bad.

wtf was that power minute

>>8294084
what does puts going up mean? resultant asset will go down? puts is an option to sell at a given price right, so if the price for puts skyrockets then people are anticipating it will be valuable to be able to sell at say $10 if stock will tank to $7 soon?

End of day buy reversal gain: +$8.27 on an investment of $423.30 (most of my buying power was tied up from Friday). Total gain of 1.95%
Not bad I'd say. For this week I'll be going strictly off this model, even though it's been extremely tempting to buy GEN as it dips

japs dont have daylight savings so have to wait an extra hour for nikkei to open

Up another 1.5% today; that's +$6,000. It's scary how easy it's all been, +200% in three years. I'm just bracing myself for the inevitable crash at this point.

If everything is priced in, why do markets ever go down (or up)?

>>8295443
you have to think 4 steps ahead, not 1 step behind

Holy fuck I didn't check my portfolio all day, thanks to whoever convinced me to buy ALT.

This your first pre market earnings call, boy?

First

It seems highly unlikely Spotify’s Cost of Revenue will improve much in the short-term: those record deals are locked in until at least next year, and they include “most-favored nation” provisions, which means that Spotify has to get Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and Merlin (the representative for many independent labels), which own 85% of the music on Spotify as measured by streams, to all agree to reduce rates collectively. Making matters worse, the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board just increased the amount to be paid out to songwriters; Spotify said the change isn’t material, but it certainly isn’t in the right direction either.

That leaves two options:

Most obviously Spotify could try and lower its operational costs. This, though, is harder than it might seem for two reasons: first, Spotify is already a pretty frugal company; Dropbox, for example, which filed its S-1 the same week, spends 77% of revenue on operational costs as compared to Spotify’s 30%.
Spotify could grow its revenue without increasing its operational costs. How, though, will it grow revenue if it cannot increase its spending on R&D and Sales & Marketing? The typical pattern for non-social network companies is for Sales & Marketing to grow less efficient over time, which means it would need to increase as a percentage of revenue, not decrease (and remember, Spotify can’t afford to miss its growth numbers or its royalty rates go up).

>>8296865
Lol fag write a novel somewhere else

>>8296743
I really dont understand future pricing at all. How can there be a single chart for all the multitude of contract types? Wouldnt you need a different chart for each future's expiration date and strike cost combination?

>>8296865
Soooo, should I jump in or no?

>>8296888
they just go with the upcoming month

>>8296938
what about the strike price though?

>>8296951
Fuck it

FUCK NON NO NO NO ON
i had an order to buy vvus, forgot to buy it on open

at least the rest of my shit did ok. god damn it

>>8296865
You're putting too much thought into this(not a bad thing). Spotify is like the the Google of music and the reason why Pandora is in the shitter.

>>8297021
you've completely missed the point. Google has no increase in operational cost when they serve an additional user. Spotify (and Pandora) have massive operational costs that scale with their users paid out to labels who control the music.

Spotify is an impressive product and company, and CEO Daniel Ek and team deserve credit for reaching this point. Being a true aggregator, though, means gaining power over supply; Spotify doesn’t have that — the company doesn’t even have control over its marginal costs — and it’s hard to see where the profits come from.

The power of the record labels and the resultant linkage of Spotify’s marginal costs to its overall revenue certainly makes Spotify a unique case compared to most zero marginal cost venture-backed companies.

>>8297171
I think Im gonna be sick

>>8297171
but google owns servers to serve additional users and has to pay for them

>>8297294
let me put this in perspective. Google's cost of an additional user per year is about 1 cent. Spotify and Pandora's deals with the record labels who control the music is force them to pay 50% of their revenue in licensing fees.

the dow has been so garbage lately
still at low 25k area, I mean really?

>>8297318
if S or P start to become profitable, the record labels can just turn the dial and squeeze the profit out of S or P and into the record labels.

>>8297423
S&P is going down? just bought SPXS

>Trump blocks Broadcom acquisition of Qualcomm

>>8297318
so there IS an increase in operational cost? but your original post says there is none, did you lie ?

I am itching to buy more memekei if it dips again.

I like to hurt myself.

>>8293469
I'm a december buyer...dec 2013. Hurt, feels good now though.

>>8297846
as the worlds best Nikkei trader, I must tell you this

you buy now, and you buy at 19,999, no in between, youll get Nipped

>>8297843
Thanks mayne. Other than IB, do you know of any other reliable forex platforms out there?

>>8297846
>>8297899
Why do you guys trade the Nikkei? You better be Japanese.

>>8297968
I already said why. They still have QE with absolutely no end in sight.

>>8297968
because 40k end of year

>>8297998
Basically this. QE is the #1 buying signal. It's like the nut hand in poker. There is nothing more to hope for besides QE for stock prices.

How much did you make from the big dip /biz/? I put 28k in amzn and I'm already up 15%.

>>8298101
I made 200% buying in at 2530.

>>8298101
I broke even due to the massive loss that the correction gave me

The dip is that market correction


How am I doin' guys

here is my fearless forecast:

in 20 minute when the nikkei opens, it will cause a short buying spree, make the USD/JPY paair fake break upwards then both will go down for 3 hours

>>8298225
Nikkei will not rally without the Yen going down.

>>8298257
I know, thats the problem
usd/jpy just broke down too

>>8298277
Kuroda needs to get off his ass and print more.

>>8298350

>>8298350
looks like it might pin before nikkei open
what are the Nips plotting?

>>8298206
Very good. You're outperforming the market.

>>8298393
I always have the urge to gamble before the open. I don't quite know why.

well, this is not good

oh jesus

Whats happening in gook land

>>8298554
fucking short it

>>8298554

>>8298606
Theyre up 350

>>8298709
Explain this to me, cuz different charts give different answers.

Investing.com says yesterday closed at 21,824 and now we are at 21,760 but we are +290pts. Its open today was 21,755 which would be 5pts. And that's all just from one chart lol. Tradingview gives a whole different opinion.

>>8296333
You should always hold a significant portion of retirement stocks. Meme stocks are a meme for a reason.

>>8298824
No fackin idea m8

>>8298824
because there are different versions of the nikkei

the 24 hour forex version, the cfd, the official index, and the futures

>>8298947
But are they all really that far apart? That's nearly a 300pt spread

>>8295905
Back when they made their IPO they swung for the fences with a drop in replacement for a fuel additive. The product worked flawlessly. Total drop in. Very green.

Only it was expensive and no one wanted to buy it. Their shit got fucked. Somewhere there's a chart of Amyris' evaluation over time. It's pitiful now compared to what it once was.

Their new shift to flavors, cosmetic and fragrances is an attempt to move to products that command a higher sale price to balance out the cost of bio-based production.

>>8299014
yes, sometimes one will randomly hault and another will catch up

i thought the nikkei posters were one guy up until this thread

this thread is still going?? nice

hope you all got in VVUS and ALT

>>8299681
im half on TECL, just getting into investing but these levereaged ETFs during bull runs seem absolutely incredible. i have stop losses set up so no real worries, the returns as long as we stay bull are incredible. switch the nasdaq into a bear market -> TECS, man this is easy

I've had fair luck with AMD over the past year or so. I think one has to lower the bar just a bit now, but it goes something like buy at 11.20 sell at 13.50. you'd be surprised how often it happens. If weird shit like last week happens and it jumps 7% in a day, sell that shit, let it come back down , and continue as usual. AMD is a very noob friendly swing stock. And remember little faggot, it works until it doesn't.
