who golden bull here

Reposting my retardation index because I'm excited for muh puts

>>9506894

>>9506906
>IR or "implied retardation" is the level of expected faggotry within an underlying. if youre buying at high IR, ur dumb
if only we had clear levels of who is long or short on a given one. or wait, does RH even allow short selling? this information could be invaluable

>>9506906
Are any of those "buy" only instead of "trade"?
e.g. I can't short CARV or SHE because they are such shit
Very solid metric with the retardation score though!
GPRO and FIT have been money makers for me while UA might actually run away and P has been a bit of a struggle bus for me.
The retardation score seems to be the maximum average amount that each investor put in on the stock, and can possibly help identify what institutional investors have fled

Also, what was with the diversity meme you guys have with CARV? Is that really a value that they have or were you guys just meming?

>>9506906
why do so many robinhood users have shares in Cum Eating Instructions?

>>9507028
Ah shit.
I can't buy puts on it and it has that TVIX inc. / DRYS styled graph

>>9506999
Robinhood does let you short with puts, yeah. I'm going through and marking which ones have liquid options markets right now. I didn't want to do all 100, so I chose the worst 35

>>9507005
CARV is absolute garbage

>>9507028
Because RH users are idiots :)

>>9506906
it looks like anything with an IR<1000 is fresh meat for shorting out weak hands. a low retardation score implies that its a total shitshow with a puny, pushable float full of almost exclusively wageslaves shooting for a pipedream (ie the ones that jump first)

this is definitely going to be valuable as a tool for short selling

>>9507092
thats how i do it anyways. no margins anymore. never was too fond of undefined risk anyways

>>9507075
>it has that TVIX inc. / DRYS styled graph
kek it just reverse splits into oblivion.

one of the ugliest charts ive ever seen is the one for TOPS (also has an IR of less than 1000)

>>9507147
makes me wonder, since RH has such shit charts, if these idiots even know what the fuck theyre holding onto. i wonder if any of them even understand how many times this has r/s'd?

playing that with a significant part of your portfolio is like fellating a handgun

>>9506894
Im watching the damn hockey game, but this retardation score thing looks promising. I've made money on 2 of the 5 most retarded companies, the others i never even touched.

>>9506999
You can find short interest in other ways. Just lurk moar.

>>9506999
oh I misunderstood, you're talking about the data of which robinhood users are long or short. Yeah they trade against the spread and fuck you.

>>9507199
>>9506999
I gauge shot interest from the open interest on puts vs. calls
You can get easier general market charts for this on Yahoo finance in addition to it's own general short interest metrics, including days to cover

>>9507185
yeah but dont you see? these are the memes were all mostly done with. theres gotta be someone left to hold the bags, right? well were pretty low on the foodchain, but these RHers and ST morons are the lowest of the low. falling IR means that the stock is quickly being vacated by anyone with any sense. a great indicator for the tops of memes. really what we should do is take this measurement daily, and plot the first derivative of it as the acceleration of retardation in a stock.

>>9507214
i guess RHers cant short anyways

>>9507222
>gauge shot interest from the open interest on puts vs. calls
ah so you if theres more open interest on calls, its going down?

Updated retardation index chart showing stocks with options available with liquid markets

>>9507252
comfy keep writing this data down. im relatively certain that the acceleration of retardation in a stock is gonna be the one that will actually have some use as an indicator. if we track it daily on the most retarded ones (sub 1000), we can plot the derivative (or the acceleration) of faggots flowing into a smallcap stock. since theyre the ones who always get stuck with the bags, because they are the MOST retarded of all, its time to get out, or go short/buy puts.

>>9507092
honestly I don't know how you calculate your retardation, and I never went to school for any of this shit. Just look at the largest funded etfs, they have liquid and great option markets with smaller spreads. These obscure bullshit small cap single stocks are honestly where the real money will be made since when a company with a 10 mil market cap goes to being worth 50 mil you've 5X your money. However, it's tough to do the DD and honestly value some of these memes, when you get into actual income and actual products.

>>9507284
>the acceleration of retardation in a stock is gonna be the one that will actually have some use as an indicator
This.
GENIUS!
It indicates retards piling in without institutional money or big money pumping it.

Also, just ruined what would have been a perfect 10 count get XD

>>9506894
In yo dreams
Me cannot short harder

>>9507284
we honestly should be honing in oon the small/mid cap that can become a large cap. Stuff like roku.

>>9506906
How do you calculate retardation? What goes into your criteria for retarded. I didn't get into SDRL because it fucking looked retarded but that collected quite a few retarded bag holders from robinhood.

>>9507339
We aren't even talking about the global index. The trade war could hurt every single market and have a global impact. The small cap shit, gets looked over and is actually where eyes should be looking for opportunity.

>>9507244
>more open interest on calls, its going down?
Uh, you just kinda feel out whether it's getting so packed on one side that it actually goes the opposite direction that everyone expects

>>9507306
>>9507350
It's literally just marketcap/number of robinhood users. I'm going to see if I can factor in institutional ownership/general public ownership.

Should I just raise the money to hostile take over TOPS and fucking own a business that transports shit.

>>9507395
Wait I already did that

>>9507392
That's a very very bad way to go. I assume most robinhood users aren't actually retarded.

>>9507392
That data is terrible. It honestly shows penny stocks are like bought. Buy like BAC warrents.

>>9507409
>I assume most robinhood users aren't actually retarded.
interesting assumption, considering RH has the most retail of retail investors

>>9507409

>roku
ROKU is retarded. People just do NFLX if not cable. I think they also have to compete with Chromecast, AMZN fire stick, and some kind of AAPL shit now.

>>9507503
i also use robinhood

>>9507515
that's not true, ROKU can stream live sports, and that is important to people who appreciate sports.

>>9507311
>It indicates retards piling in without institutional money or big money pumping it.
i know and you could plot it really easy. itd be like an RSI

>>9507378
so kinda like what comfys doing on the retardation index. find high concentrations of retards and bet against them

>>9507409
>I assume most robinhood users aren't actually retarded.
i dunno about this. i know theres plently who are prolly fine, but were looking at the average here. theres WAY more dummys than actual traders there

i was thinking more like the "faggotry flow" or FF for short

Is there anyway we can pull the data from https://robinhood.com/collections/100-most-popular into an excel spreadsheet to automatically chart it?

No you need some fucking patience. Look only at 4 hour candles for a month strait. Play the market like baseball. Except you can pass every strike right down the middle, and you never have to worry about it hurting you. Wait for the one riight down the middle and stick with it.

>>9507629
i find candlesticks totally and utterly useless unless combined with ichimoku, volume and RSI at the very least. then i only pay attention to the volume spikes at reversal points, and the pattern is more a confirmation point than anything. im more looking at how the candle gets shaped throughout the volume spike.

>>9507679
i would definitely risk real money to try out the FF indicator if we can figure this out

I really like "faggotry flow" index because if some shit is just fucking pumping like SDRL did, which is now trending, we can check if it's just a "heavy flow" day. Which will be epic for our memes.

how do you mean?
i was just doing it more because of that one wyckoff book about reading ticker tape back in the 20s. i always get good prices if i watch the depth charts. been trying to only use candles on bigger timeframes anyways because they dont mean much at 1min

Renaissance Technologies is an algo trading firm that is kicking Warren Buffett's ass. They are what inspired me to go after an ML approach to this.

>>9507912
You're able to get around it by calling the backend endpoints from cURL or anything outside of browser, but browsers will not play nicely unless CORS is enabled.

There's also plug-ins for most browsers to circumvent this issue.
It's something like "enable CORS everywhere". You should try that before cURL.

>>9507971
Fak, okay thanks I'll work on it. I would do it by hand, but that's a massive pain for moving total number of users/market cap/rank out of 100 for all 100 of them. Maybe I'll go ask /g/ later tonight

It's literally just a browser plug-in that you install, and you should no longer get an Access-Control-Allow-Origin message

How to profit from blackholes?

>>9508116
Short medical companies that make x-ray machines. As soon as we can harvest the x-rays from black holes, the machines will be worthless.

>>9508116
create garbage company, send trash through it,

>>9508116
i suppose you could buy really short term put contracts on any companies passing the event horizon. since time would break down exponentially, theta would be neutral, and as the company gets annihilated at a molecular level, your put contracts high delta/cost ratio would net you some awesome leverage. and since you only buy on the passing through the event horizon signal, its a 100% winning trade.

now the question is, which companies are the close to blackholes?

Goddamn, I'm getting blue balls from HMNY. When this fucker starts moving, it's going to move hard. I've just been on the edge of my seat waiting for something to happen all week.

i'm getting the valiant vibes from this..they just bought another company for $3 billion (in shares)...something is so fucking wrong if the weed industry is not what its hyped out to be then these companies are so fucked.,

I agree but their success is dependent entirely on government and politics. Weed may be legalized soon, but the only way I see these companies market cap justified is if they are able to create brands, beautiful packaging, THC edibles, drinks, lube..literally anything everything.

And ACB is exaggerating german medicinal market...

New investment strategy
Buy 1 share of every stock with single letters (A, B, C, D, E, F ect all the way to Z)

If a stock has 1 letter, they must be good, so they will go up

>>9508198

>>9509378
>beautiful packaging

Nope. Current bill has exceptionally strict criteria for packaging. It's basically brown bag with a logo.

>THC edibles, drinks

Won't be legal this year.

>>9509429

Buy N. They're a weed company.

>>9509378
Well government and politics in USA is money based. Pharmacy, beer, and tobacco have huge sway over fed policy. Beer and tobacco have been cratering, lost about 25%, with less and less millennial usage. Their only recourse is weed. Plus trump can use weed legalization as a bargaining chip. If he ever gets in trouble marijuana legslization and even emancipation for only weed felonies is s get out of jail free card. It may take a few years for full legslization but I feel like it’s guaranteed, esp where pharmacy is concerned with opiate abuse and epilepsy. The USA is already behind.

>>9509457
yup, I saw the proposed packaging and it looks fucking horrible.
That and letting people grow their own plants (yes I know this is not a problem for beer/wine). Also looking at how much these companies pay their execs despite revenues being horrible. The amount they owe financers...

A small delay in legalization will bleed these companies no?

Seriously, I invested in weedstocks last year, pulled my money out early and missed maybe a 2x gain (still made about 60%)..now I truly see how fucked up this bubble is..we need to find a way to short this dude.

>>9509500
This is true, same for Canada..Liberals will use this to win next election if legalization is done right.
Trump could create distractions by doing this as well..
It is guaranteed and that is where the market is going but I already see big pharma companies trying to regulate the fuck out of any cbd byproducts..GW Pharma already has one pending phase 3?

i'm just trying to see how best we can all make money on biz..right now the herd seems to be pumping the fuck out of weed (before the correction ofcourse)

>Millennials don't set stop losses, so they're actually going to win bigly on this, while boomers are going to lose their shares during the flash crash if they have stop losses set
this is actually a good point, and i hadnt thought about it. the "flash crash" will definitely happen though. bears havent really struck back in any meaningful way. theyve only been playing defense. something tells me it wont be for long. it seems a lot of people whove been sidelined (likely with more money and exp) have been waiting for a lower entry point. ive seen 25cents discussed quite a bit. im gonna watch that point and see what happens
