I own Apple but I only have 30% ($3,000) of my portfolio in stocks currently.

The stock has been a major disappointment since I bought at 123, but the whole market has been a disappointment as well.

>2.2% loss
>is it happening??????

It's friday

>>994517
3.74% up thank god for shorting

I made 20% profit today, thanks to oil going down hard.

Caught that ride myself.
Futures.

>babby investors freaking out about a bit of noise

Great buying opportunities coming up in the next few weeks while every shits their pants of the rate hike.

>while every shits their pants of the rate hike.
The shitting happened three weeks ago when the Fed announced its intent to raise rates. Please tell me you're so stupid that you think the market will react the day of? Jesus, this board.

Had a short entry today at $36.60 but it didn't get filled.

>bitcoins r a scam guis

>>994597
You mean $35.60?

>>994598
They announced their intent to raise them, yes. But they haven't elaborated on how. Is it going to be one increase over the year? or multiple? how many 25 bp increases can the economy take over 2016? There's still plenty of volatility outside of oil prices to be had before next week's meeting.

What's that? You haven't even considered those implications because they haven't come up in your retarded robinhood threads?
>Jesus, this board.

>>994601

No. What month are you looking at?

>>994599
This. Bitcoin has no future more than 2 years out. FINtech is evolving too fast for it to keep up.

>>994608
aha, it's a time zone thing.
The last time it was $36.60 was around 2AM here. Mine was much later.

>>994608
Who's your broker / why did you get shitty fill?

NinjaTrader Brokerage (Dorman)

Never got a fill. I cancel if the first bar after the signal bar doesn't fill my entry (blue line). Should have used a MIT order.

Everything is fine, nothing to see here, run along goyim

Oh and don't forget to buy more stocks!

>>994590
I've been investing for 14 years. I was simply pondering if this is the same as August.

The S&P is down 6% since it hit 2113 in November.

>>994654
I'll short them, thanks Schlomo.

>>994650
I meant this.
>>994663

But I see how I should have made a better OP.

>>994652
>MIT
That sounds like some proprietary term for a stop order.
Does your broker charge extra for it?

So why is oil falling so hard?

I thought last month's prices were barely operational. Definitely thought they were hitting a floor?

>>994678

Market If Touched

No

100% of my stock portfolio is in SPXS since a few months ago so I had a great day

>>994710
Don't really use them myself.
When I enter, it's generally on a market order.
I tend to exit on limits.

>>994691

Huge oversupply.

>work as trader for large firm
>wealthy client wants to rebalance account
>mostly mutual funds
>look at market
Sheeeeiiiit.

>>994517
Why so many tech stocks? You should diversify a little bit

Wish I was good at short selling. My Dad was a broker for 20 years and he was never able to get the hang of it, even during the dot com meltdown.

>>994796
Practice, man.
Practice.

>>994607

People are going to be shitting the bed all the way up to and on the day, and likely the days after. Opportunities aplenty.

>>994517
You're long YHOO?

>>994796
That's because statistics are against shorting. It's much toucher. Yes, it can be done but why would you short when you can be long even during the market crashes on a global scale.

>>994846
>statistics are against shorting
With good reason, it's much more difficult than going long. It also costs more to keep a position open.

>why would you short when you can be long
Why would you bet on "Don't Pass" when you could be betting with the shooter?

>down $9

just kill me now before the market crashes

>>994598
Lol,

the market is batshit retarded, the second it's announced they will react anyway. Maybe an hour later theyl'l retrace the move.

So how screwed are my call options I bought today, considering all this volatility?

23% gain with Bitcoin. You faggots jelly?

Guys the market wont continue tumbling Monday?

R-r-right guys?

>>994970

A little, since I bought at 380 and pulled at 340.

> buy high
> sell low

My life blows.

>>994970
Naw. Could have easily been a 23% loss. Happens all the time with the Buttscon.

lost 281 bucks today (unrealized), because I entered positions which then proceeded to drop like lead. I blame it on inexperience. I'm not daytrading anyway, so these 1-2% losses are nothing in the grand scale of things

Life is good.
