>I'm new to the stock market, what stocks should I buy? Before you buy anything, make a brokerage account and read investopedia articles and/or the books in the OP list. If you don't have a broker, you can't buy stocks, and if you blindly buy things without understanding how the stock market works or doing any research on the individual stocks you're buying, you will lose money and it will be entirely your fault.
Should I make this a daily reminder? I feel like Jow Forums needs it.
How to invest: > Buy periodically, for example every month. If you can buy more often due to very low or no transaction fees, buy more frequently > Buy a fixed $ amount every time (f.e. $1000 every month) > Buy regardless of whether the market goes up or down, just do it every month > Diversify, buy index ETFs (MSCI World is a good example) > Put in additional capital (f.e. 1 month's worth) for every 10% drop > Don't expect to get rich quick, have an investment horizon of at least 20 years > NEVER SELL > Apply the above rules for 90% of your portfolio > Allow yourself 10% of your portfolio to do dumb shit like day trade, option gambling, meme stocks etc.

first for failure even though was super bearish today and shorted at all the right times ;_;
Sell everything you have right now! Its going to tank! The market is going to zero. I have the inside scoop. S&P500 to 0, DJIA to 0, NASDAQ to -0... it's all over folks get the fuck out
>> Put in additional capital (f.e. 1 month's worth) for every 10% drop Is there a way to do this automatically? Like the opposite of a trailing stop loss?
Blake Rogers
bought an extra $2k this week during the dip to 200 EMA, i follow this guys strategy
THIS DUDE FUCKS, FOLLOW THIS
Ian Jackson
How come one thread will have maybe one or two tripfags and then the new thread rolls over and all of them show up
no just use your brain and watch the market and if there is a big red week, spend some money out of your bank account into index funds/blue chippers
Nolan Fisher
Limit buy?
Jace King
Which ETFs?
Parker Sanders
i also have a question for you, whats with this MSCI World meme thing?
I've just been accumulating SPY, QQQ, a few various blue chippers with extra cash. Do you recommend a significant part of my portfoltio to be this MSCI thing? Its made great returns for a while, whate exactly is it and why have i never heard of it except this copy-pasta?
Jordan Hughes
GALT isn't a swing trade, it's a position trade The appeal isn't short term price action, it's the solid science supporting its product and the buyout that could happen in the next month or two
well it needs to move up with the market, so I'd need a trailing limit buy
does any broker have such a thing? I don't really want to waste time looking multiple times a day at things with a 20 year horizon.

>thinking normal market action has anything to do with politics
hahaha imagine seeing a normal retest of plunge lows and assuming there's some external reason for it. this is the level of market understanding of a brain on "buy and hold"
Aiden Lee
There is no way to PPT will let the market crash until November, so the question is, where is the bottom of this dip?
Anthony Myers
first of all i'm the only tripfag in here so far.. second of all you should mind your own business you little punk.
If something goes down, buy it because its bound to go up soon. (buy the dip) If something goes up, buy it because its going to continue to rally (momentum trading)
The first strategy can be classified as expecting high volatility, that equities will have frequent and profitable moves around their true price. The second is expecting low volatility, that is something moves its meaningful rather than a statistical variation from the mean. Thus, all styles of trading can be classified by the trader's expectation of future volatility.
Samuel Rogers
Ignore it. The only reason MSCI World made any money was because 50% of the ETF is comprised of the US market.
Kayden Gutierrez
have a app on your phone with the 3 US indices
get alerts if we are more than 5% down from ATH, and buy extra then
if you want to make it you have to put in upwards of 25 seconds a week which is what this requires, if you dont ever want to make solid returns then dont do this
I feel like it's worth a reminder but a lot of people come here for get rich quick schemes. Emphasize the low percentage of portfolio for risky plays part.
Dylan Gray
so whats the purpose of it compared to QQQ/SPY/etc? Its also made significantly more than those 2 over the last decade, when the rest of the world has basically been trading sideways, so whats MSCI got that the based ETFs dont?
Cooper Scott
Oh yeah, here we go
Aiden Diaz
where mah bobos at?
Wyatt Barnes
Not really. It is based on their expectation of future trend direction. Expected volatility affects how much risk they are willing to take. Do I go in X or Y amount into this buy? The buy based on the idea that prices will be higher sometime in the future.
MSCI is the company defining the index. MSCI World is a worldwide stock index, more diversified than QQQ/SPY. So it has less lump risk than putting all your eggs in the US economy, and the world economy has been growing faster than the US economy in the past years so the index did as well.
Joseph Rogers
Just need oil prices to double from here for the perfect storm and U.S. economy is kill.
Brandon Butler
Mixed day today. Some decoupling from the big companies going on.
>Aurora will begin trading on the NYSE on October 23 >Aphria have announced they have applied for NYSE listing now as well >General thrust of Canadian media coverage is that shops are selling out and, in some cases, have had to turn customers away due to no product left to sell
It is therefore prudent to not trade equities but instead to get directly to the heart of the matter: volatility. Various volatility trackers exist from UVXY to VIX and traders can expose themselves to volatility of a specific equity by carefully composing options positions. In doing so, the trader excises the complex real world of equities and purifies them down to their pure form: volatility.
The volatility trader has moved beyond the physical and immersed himself into the transcendental.
Jaxon King
Enough of this doomism. How can you not see this obvious double bottom? The market isn’t fucking collapsing. Wtf is up with people having no stomachs in 2018
Jason Ramirez
>ATVI Talk about market movements making 0 sense. CoD4 breaks records on all fronts, the install base is already capped out, and we're down 8% on the day? I'm not buying it. These are fish who are panicking even in the face of good news. Buy the dip.
Isaiah Harris
I TOLD YOU IT WAS A BULL TRAP EARLIER THIS WEEK.
SELL SELL SELL REEEEEEEEEEEE
Jaxon Rogers
reminder that tomorrow will be even worse to shake out the weak hands
Angel Kelly
Bought ATVI. Shit will rebound on the run up to blizzcon.
>prudent to trade derivatives Why not just shill in a sentence rather than some long drawn out paragraph
Evan Young
There will be another fake rally today during Power Hour, then it will collapse again in the post. SPY will go 260 by tomorrow, and then bottom out to 230 on Friday.
Levi Mitchell
maybe I'm just retarded, but TQQQ is up 3100% since 2010. Why would anyone invest in normie unleveraged ETFs when they could 31x their money with """short term financial instruments"""?
what? VEU, Vanguard ex US ETF, is literally trading BELOW what it was back in 2011
hasnt the non US economy been basically worthless for upwards of a decade? All the gains are in US companies?
Noah Powell
In his spiritual or Sufi form, the volatility trader finds that he is no longer hungry or feels the need to sleep. Indeed, by transcending equities, he has transcended the human condition itself. Time slows down for the volatility trader and his inner eye opens, revealing the higher planes and the mysteries contained within. With time, the volatility trader learns to control these and other frightful powers that have yet to be unlocked.
Just to give you goys an idea of how levered Chinese real estate companies are, their market caps are at about 2% of their total debt. That means a company worth 200M might have 10B of debt. Interest rates are ridiculous too at 6-8%+. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese government was giving them these subsidized rates.
Would you give an individual with 100K net worth a loan for $5M? That they promise to start paying back in 2-3+ years if things go well? All the meanwhile, that $5M loan balloons to $6-7M by the time the building is built?
What are you talking about you fucking moron? Every report I've seen from top financial investment banks (e.g. Charles Schwab) cite both the Fed and Trump for the immense market uncertainty. Get your head out of your ass.
Justin Bennett
whats your total mix and as such effective leverage?
Ive thought about going 25% purchases in all 4 of those, so i am effectively 1.5x leveraged
i would need to rebalance on occasion to lock in some TQQQ SPXL profits of course, but it seems to be worth a lot more in yearly returns than buying boomer tier basic ETFs
Kayden Price
Did you see this through reading the magic patterns on the charts? Teach me this lore user
Politics absolutely affects making money, you're a brainlet if you don't think it does. The trade war has real economic consequences that will effect the market, along with the rising Fed rates.

>Which ETFs? I personally have MSCI World and MSCI Emerging Markets but S&P trackers work I guess
>i also have a question for you, whats with this MSCI World meme thing? Just one of the most stable ETFs there are (with good returns).
Lincoln Young
you'll start making money when you stop being emotional
>increased budget deficit & trade wars had nothing to do with it Both the Federal Reserve and Congress are the culprits. US only stock investors will get smashed the next 2-3 years. Diversify into commodities & emerging markets if you wanna make any type of return in the next few years. Keep some money in cash/cash equivalents as well.
I'm voting for the Democrats, fuck this administration! That arab ass kissing, mean statement making. mother fucker has got to go.
Brandon Mitchell
politics are more of a short term concern. Some long traders choose to ignore them knowing that, but yes anyone trading on less than a decade long horizon should pay attention to global politics.
