i live alone in a tiny room and work 60 hours a week away from my family. i have no friends.
i have no social life or girlfriend
the only thing that gives me excitement in life is the first coffee of the day, the smg thread and maybe making some gains on calls
Samuel Fisher
What do you guys think about FRA: G2W and LON: GAW? I feel like they may be in a small bubble at the moment, but the real value may reach the current quote with them opening at least 4-5 new stores in Japan this year and planning to open even more in the rest of the continent. They're betting on the asian market from now on and I can guarantee they will succeed at that. I'm a brainlet newfag about investing, following only my instinct at the moment, so any kind of analysis is very welcome, maybe I'll learn something new.
>They've had stores in Japan for decades but never really do much gains in them
They had 2 store in Tokyo until 2 years ago. Last year they opened one more in Osaka. This year they opened one more in Tokyo and planning to open 2 more in Nagoya and Sapporo. Basically they have started growing from last year.

Daily reminder that these threads have been ruined by dumb weabs and larping tripfags who don't know how to trade
Looking all this graph and numbers and charts on Ameritrade makes me feel like a brainlet. Math wasn't my strong suit but looking at all of this statistics makes me feel hopeless, but I'm not giving up yet.
I just have 60 dollars in but haven't decide what stocks to buy, I have a job so I'll add as I go along, I'm just starting stock and I'm a newbie, I did some research but I still have along way to go to learn everything about it. The only thing I know is that high dividends are good, buy low sell high and just buying shares and let it grow but that's it.
dude you can't buy anything for 60 bucks.. Minimum you need to make some gains is 5K
Liam Butler
Anything else I need to learn? Math was kinda but wasn't my strong suit but I'm willing to apply my lazy ass to become successful and learn something useful that I didn't learn to do in school.
Shit how do I even make this that money. I have like 4 grand in my bank account and I definitely not want to dump my money into that. I would but I'm really stingy to myself. Thanks for telling me although, appreciate the help.
Well if you use Robinhood (US only) you can have some fun with $60. Otherwise yeah stay away from stocks and crypto the fees will eat you alive. Wait till you can make purchases of $1k so a $5 fee is just half a percent.
Nathaniel Mitchell
any strats on robinhood, i have 2 stocks on amd and 6 shares of Rite aid
Asher Powell
>tfw Yuropoor >tfw can't use Robin Hood
Cameron Baker
Yuropoor too here, i use Interactive Brokers. Degiro is also a possibility.
Samuel Myers
degiro is great, you pay fuck all comission for US markets.
You pay 0,50 € for the operation so 0,50 € for buy, 0,50 € for sell, plus like cents for the amount of stocks.
For example 10 stocks of AT&T 0,50 € + 0,03 € 31 stocks of GE 0,50 € + 0,10 €.
It's really cheap, they also charge you 2,50 € a year for any foreing EXCHANGE you have a position, that it's something to take account, I thought it was country wise, so 2,50 € for all US exchanges, I found out when I bought some AMD and they charged me for having a position in NASDAQ.
All in all is really really cheap for us yuropoors
Jose Adams
Yeah I'm using Degiro at the moment. Why the fuck is the commission on Frankfurt higher than the others? Sadly I don't know any american company I want to invest in at the moment.
Also, can I keep different currencies to invest with on the same Degiro account?
Chase Price
I think we should make a new general specifically for shitposting, status updates, and new friends. This general can be a slower one for “experienced” anons/trips to circlejerk and share different sector advice. So I’m unironically advocating a low iq and hi iq threads
Hunter Kelly
>So I’m unironically advocating a low iq and hi iq threads the assblasted low iq tripfags will just shit up the high iq threads
Landon Wood
give me 2 weeks and I'll get to high IQ status, nigga
Aiden Wood
This is a great way to completely kill /smg/ altogether. Calm down boomer it's only Monday you sperg.

So after having a chat with a friend of a friend (senior fund manager) I've been told I may have what it takes to be a trader and that I should look into FX trading. I have read up on it and understand it to a degree and even applied for some jobs. One of the jobs stated they needed no experience and have got back to me recently but say I need to do a 12 week program at the cost of £500 (£250 deposit) to get started where I will shadow a senior trader. At the end I may be given the opportunity to work for the company in a trading capacity at the end of the course.
Is this legit? From my experience with the job market and recruitment shit now days (I've worked in many industries at various levels) this pay up front for training to then be given the "chance" of a job shit is usually a scam where only friends of colleagues end up making the final step.
Yes I'm knew to trading but I feel I can get a grasp of it quite well, and yes I understand I don;t need to have a job to tradeFX as I can do it myself but I am not in the position where I can comfortably trade as i have very little capital.
i dont really feel like playing mod=god on a major board on hatechinz tho. and i also wouldnt wanna make anyone feel like they gotta go to THAT board if they dont want to. its mostly a library and a backup for if Jow Forums goes down.
but then, i also dont advocate breaking up the thread in the first place. this is how to destroy a general 101.
if he wants to, he can go do it (make a board that is). but trying to do it on here, across 3-4 different threads is fucking suicide
Wyatt Baker
We are on the cusp of this thread dying anyway. As soon as the boomer/tripfag war started I knew this general was on borrowed time. I'll just continue to visit this general until it eventually destroys itself.
Brody Campbell
>One of the jobs stated they needed no experience and have got back to me recently but say I need to do a 12 week program at the cost of £500 (£250 deposit) to get started where I will shadow a senior trader. >Is this legit? no dont do this
well what do you suggest we do then? we got a board already, but im a dirty tripfag, so its already broken. i could hand out admin/vol privileges to a couple different anons, but then theres that whole power structure faggotry that im trying to avoid anyways.
i dont have any intention of banning anyone (other than fucking porn spammers from 8/b/), as i hate moderation, but i cant necessarily hold that over the rest of the folks here if they feel thats not kosher. especially since apparently my tripfaggotry is whats destroying the general
either way, id rather do something about it than just let the thread die
Austin Gonzalez
Shit gets fucky when you can only bet the value of something will increase.
Ian Brooks
The problem is you can't please everyone. I thought this thread was at its peak a couple of weeks ago, but then a few uppity boomers started throwing temper tantrums about tripfags and their autism refuses to let them have fun and talk business in the same thread. You just have to take a stance and stick to it. Either way you are going to shake out a few angry anons. That's just my opinion, I've never had an issue with tripfags.
Andrew Barnes
FX trading in general is almost entirely a scam industry. rule of thumb, if they need you to pay out front to "shadow a trader" or "go to workshop", then its most likely a scam.
have you ever traded FX before? its fucking incredibly complex
Andrew Mitchell
Holy shit. Fucking roasties.
Blake Phillips
Threadly reminder that all tripfags should be required to post their all time P/L
well were gonna have to wait till peak hours and run a poll or some shit i guess. id rather get more folks opinions on this, as i think (like you said) a majority of the complaints have come from a minority of anons.
Angel Parker
That sounds fair.
Camden Ramirez
after close i guess would be best do you know any good polling sites that are hard to spam?
Caleb Jackson
ALT pump today check em
Gavin James
I don't but I know a lot of other anons do, if you bring it up later in the day, you'll get all kinds of suggestions. I think there is one called strawpoll that people use.
Cooper Rodriguez
The anti tripfags are just newfags that don’t know any better. Go to any general on Jow Forums and you’ll see it’s full of tripfags and namefags. Just goes with the territory. If your trading strategy is to listen to trade on the advice of random anons because the have a name attached to thier posts then you deserve to lose everything. Grow the fuck up and do your own DD.
Andrew Perry
>have you ever traded FX before? its fucking incredibly complex I'm a spreadsheet and graph babby. I play games with spreadsheets and graphs, I did my dissertation literature review in 3 days (conception, preparation and doing it) and aced it, I did basic stats and math GCSE's a year before everybody else at school, I fix my retarded supervisors reports and payroll all the time.
With time I could probably pick it up. If I didn't have so much shit going on between 17-22 I would have probably made the right choices and ended in a decent position in life.
I work with rich as fuck people (clients) all the time and I am at the point where I'm considering getting fired for the first time in my life and just asking them for some contacts so I can get another job before my brain dies. I'm 27 and feel my brain is melting.
Adam Turner
Exactly. This thread was at its peak a couple of weeks ago. Threads pumping 24/7, since the boomers started throwing a fit. Notice how after close this thread fucking dies immediately. They claim tripfags ruined it when in fact the boomers were the ones that actually did.
Aaron Brooks
>Go to any general on Jow Forums and you’ll see it’s full of tripfags and namefags tripfags are attenwhores
yea well figure it out later ill look into it. just wanna make sure its a poll site that cant be just spammed out because of some weak ass captcha to screw results
bein good w numbers is huge, but how good are you at understanding the subtle interactions between different worlds economies, and how geopolitics effect that? cuz thats the skill you REALLY need. in addition to absolute GOD-tier risk management.
i agree. once we started having active weekend threads, i was fucking shocked. couldnt believe how comfy it got.
idk, well figure this out
Aaron Moore
>Go to any general on Jow Forums and you’ll see it’s full of tripfags and namefags And this is why they are always shit. I'll post it once more. Tripfagging is fundamentally cancer. You don't share useful information, and no one wants to imposter you on a pedophile filipbook website. You come into this general, this new wave of tripfags has only been here for a few months and the catalog an prove it, and turn a the only genuine financial thread on Jow Forums into a LARPing blog shitfest. The reason why tripfags should be required to do the P/L is to prove that you aren't just shitposting.
I really don't care either way. It sounds like the mod is going to make a final decision on the matter soon.
Isaiah Morales
you sound so new. tripfag hate has always been around
Cooper Hernandez
Yea. So? Literally a brainlet response. Trips and names are easy to turn on and off. They could have been posting for years and just never bothered to trip.
Daniel Robinson
I'm sorry boomer, I'm not even remotely new. I just don't have severe autism like you and don't throw a fit over people who trip.
Christopher Ross
kek if hes who i think he is, hes literally the oldest faggot we got
Anthony Ortiz

>but how good are you at understanding the subtle interactions between different worlds economies, and how geopolitics effect that? does it help that I'm also a history & politics babby? Would it be better if I just said I'm autistic as fuck with History, Football, Film and my other interests?
yes in all my reading I hear that risk management is the most important thing but until you are put into a position where risk management is an actual thing (i.e, summon with budget power, financial management etc) it seems very hard to express whether you are actually as good as you think you are at it.
Aiden White
if there's no mechanism for bad news to enter the market you just have a constant bubble/bust cycle
Nathan Lopez
Post your all time P/L. Very simple. I wouldn't care about tripfags if they could prove that they're actually useful. This thread isn't the fucking general for panty quest 9, it's about people's money, and so far this is all that tripfags have done to this General. You all come here just to stroke egos and feel like you matter. It's easy. Just show us your track record so we can at least trust that the information that you faries share is worth something.
Nolan Sanders
>TFW the thread is getting filled up with salty fagets like lolq / high IQ user that have realized they're incapable of beating the index as hard or as long as you have These gains are diluted because I keep depositing more money too.
the tripfag nonsense basically only happens here outside of trading hours so it's not really a problem
right at the opening bell all the bants usually stop
when that changes, this general is fucked of course
Christopher Howard

Jack Ward
No, way you Boomer XD. Guys, guys look I called him a Boomer. I'm hip. Upvote me.
Jackson Murphy
Yuropoor here. Should I buy the € version of US stocks instead of stocks in the NASDAQ?
I don't want to risk selling a $ stock when the dollar is lower than the Euro, and ending up losing money. Also, I'm using Degiro
Joseph Brown
>Just show us your track record so we can at least trust that the information that you faries share is worth something. That’s how I know you’re a fucking newfag. Anyone who’s been here any amount of time knows that I’m a rookie trader with a poorfag account and I NEVER give out advice because of that. Check the archives. You won’t find one post where I give buying advice. I come here to learn some things. and chat with nice people. It’s a nice place You’re probably some pissed off coinfag who decided to troll us. Either way you haven’t been here long enough. So shut the fuck up or go somewhere else.
Filter trips and get on with you're life. Seems like it's probably pretty sad though
Henry Morris
>Anyone who’s been here any amount of time knows that I’m a rookie trader with a poorfag account
First of all, nobody gives that much of a shit about you. Second of all..... Well that pretty much sums it up. Good job on posting P/L. Won't read the rest of your blog post.
Jonathan Butler
i would be ok w this
have you ever tried to daytrade with short-term long options? or binary options? if not, try that (just keep in mind how fast you can lose everything doin this). kinda similar to the level of hi risk management youd need to trade FX
youre just spamming the fucking thread now nigger, like youve been for the last couple weeks, and pretending that the problem is everyone else. you know damn well that the user v trip circular argument is enough to destroy any thread, and thats exactly why youre doing it.
Joshua Edwards
This has been an excellent pre-market /smg/ dialogue
