Radiant and Pure Volatility Edition

>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.

Conclusion:
All this evidence points to one inescapable conclusion: the order cancellations and trade executions just before, and during the trader's order were not a coincidence.

This is premeditated, programmed theft, plain and simple.

Michael Lewis probably said it best when he told 60 minutes that the stock market is rigged.

How do I figure out asset allocation?

Attached: portfolio.jpg (1218x772, 172K)

I'll remember this when I'm buying 20,000 shares of Ford at $17.38 per share

Buy no more than a handful of ETFs with minimal overlap.

good earnings are flat/sold. ok earnings are being sold. bad earnings are getting JUSTd. earnings will not save this correction from running its full course

How r u enjoying simply wallst
I'm still trying to figure out how they produce value and other indicators.

TTNP saved my ass today. I was the guy in the last thread that said CEI was gonna pop. They've got 0 debt and i believe its gonna pump huge before earnings around nov 5

Why isn't nanex getting more exposure? Their idea is simple, yet brilliant

what ETFs and distribution do you recommend

should your entire portfolio be no more than like 5-10 total different assets?

s-should I buy?

Attached: bankrothschild.png (839x644, 45K)

don't listen to memers. if you want to make money don't overly diversify. only diversify if you literally just want to brain-dead 401k contribute every paycheck and check in 30 years later

Would have happened yesterday too if you tried to buy 20,000 shares of Yeco or PTI at $1.38 per share.

All your limit orders reach Goldman where they are either held or cancelled to make way for their own orders.
That's why it takes ages to get a complete order fill even on IB with their "smart" routing.

Enjoy competing with (((them))).

RIP the user with the TSM calls.

how much pre-tax passive income will you anons feel safe to retire on?

Attached: doggo.jpg (281x180, 6K)

what i spend annually right now, $35k. Its pretty easy also to make $10-15k a year working maybe 20 hours a week, in that case I would need not even a half million dollar portfolio to retire off of

>retire
>working maybe 20 hours a week
????

Good entry point for HMNY?

There's little point to extra complexity when the large cap, reliable names come up so often. You can go for value, you can go for growth, you can go for both. You can do mid, small cap if you want. But having 10 different ETFs all doing one or the other or all just makes things more complicated with little benefit since there's so much crossover. It also gives you the illusion of diversification, when really, you're mostly in the same things.

Pick a handful, or even 2-3, and stay the course. Any one that tracks the S&P 500 or similar indexes, or even a complete US stock market is pretty safe. If you want to hedge against absolutely everything and anything, Total World Stock indices exist, and pay somewhere around 6-7% a year. You aren't a winner, but you aren't a loser, and you still take home some winnings.

If you want to dabble in riskier small cap, that's also safe, as long as it's within the confines of an ETF. If you want specifically dividends, there are ETFs that have basically no capital gain and only pay dividends. REITS can also be had in ETFs. There are a million options, but again, don't go nuts, because you don't necessarily make more money by having 20 over 5.

I'm a big fan of the Bogle-ish 3-fund portfolio, so a US stock index, an International stock index, and US bonds for some backbone.

i actually plan on semi-retiring early and working at REI, Starbucks, Costco or Lowes for their healthcare. Then go on vacations or do something fun every few weeks until i'm fully retired.

just low low low stress jobs part time jobs that offer full time benefits

never

100% allocation TQQQ

No, I prefer my stock selection over index funds. I could use some help in the allocation, though.
It's okay. I particularly like how you can easily benchmark portfolios against each other or the market in general.

banking pretty hard that they will still be offering those kinds of benefits for part timers in 40 years.

right now i am over 80% in QQQ and SPY alone, and it just seems concerning. I know neither of these funds can really 'crash', so its not a genuine concern. but it still feels odd.

I am 25 and want to retire by 45 because i am saving over 30% of my earnings currently, but I am still 100% stocks. I have no bonds cuz boomer-tier and I have parents as a backup ultimately, those boglefolios just seem too passive for my risk tolerance

not sure what industry this is in but unless this company has WIDE moats and competitive advantage, that p/e is too high for me

Oh boy

pretty good odds if you just equal weighted them you'd beat the s&p. it's not that hard to do

I tried the "go all in without any diversification" route, lost 40%

Agreed, senpai.

Is this good or bad if i buy chinese stocks

fuck bonds would go to the fucking moon if that happened. I better get some VXX calls first thing.

he's wrong though because today they'd close the markets at 20%

Wait that shit can't happen tomorrow, we have the fucking cuckbreaker now. They'll just send everybody home early if we drop 5000 points.

>beat the s&p
Historically that's the case which is why I prefer this portfolio and the dividend is also more significant, but equal weight feels odd to me. Can PG really be as valuable as AAPL?

Please no

You act like those figures are exact. We could easily overshoot by a percentage point or two before the lever gets pulled.

Make sure to keep buying TQQQ ON THE WAY DOOOOWN

I have a feeling that by equal weighting you'd be giving the lower cap stuff more pull and since theoretically they have more room to move, they could increase your gains over giving the higher cap stuff more weight

guys I have a gambling addiction, what do?

>eat rice and beans 4 nights a week
>intermittent fast 3 days a week

all in the name of saving money and investing so I can go live /out/ for a year or two

>lose 15% of net-worth in the stock market in two days
trying to invest in the stockmarket is only tightening my wagecuck shackles

Just keep buying and holding user, this correction will end and u will get strong gainz but only if u buy on the way DOWN and HOLD dont be a fucking pussy i swear to god if u sell user youre never gonna make it

only invest money you don't need for at least 3-5 years, and in even more reality 20-30. If you're a short term kinda guy, git gud.

just put it all on double 0, and you'll get it back bro.

You will never /make it/ in a year or two, no matter how good you are. You are better off buying lottery tickets if that's what you are going for.

If you do decide to have sensible goals, then just hodl that shit and in 20 to 30 years you will be laughing.

That's an interesting thought. Technically all of my positions are large caps, but there are some growth titles in there. I'm generally risk averse but maybe they could be brought up to 2-3% each.

>asset allocation?

Just all in on meme bullshit and cross your fingers. The Jow Forums way.

>he thought it would happen overnight

buy and hold for 2 decades and you're good

Stock prices will be back to todays levels or higher before EOY unless we end up with 2008 tier once in 40 year recession

Which is somewhat highly unlikely, just hold dont be a pussy

$40k/year + the investment portfolio to produce that much in passive gains + keep up with inflation would be more than enough.

My body is ready... let's build a better tomorrow...

economies are tied together and I can see it happening tomorrow.

The shanghai index has been tanking, so I think it will have a big effect on their market either positive or negative depending on the numbers. For the US, good numbers would give the market less reason to keep selling off while I think bad numbers would have less of an effect.

I'm going to catch shit for saying this, but as good as it is to minimize unnecessary spending, it might help to look for other ways to increase your income. Not wasting is great, but it sounds like you just don't have enough to begin with.

Yeah right

you forgot "while encouraging the greatest economy ever"

Encouraging is about as helpful as prayer and the only thing this president is capable of besides undermining everything this country stands for and making us the laughing stock of the world.

>less money and more inflation for all of us

>"take that,liberals!"

do you trump drones pay the bills or have any money responsability??

fuck off commie, the only laughter from around the world is nervous laughter because America is a powerhouse again and there's not a bowing-cuck president anymore.

This country stands for freedom of speech, freedom of guns and capitalist economy. We got that and its fucking great. Go to Canada with their homopresident and suck him off for his entitlements. The US is a nation of personal responsibility, not one of gimme gimmes

That is his plan to make people work more instead of doing drugs and spouting and thinking liberal bullshit

I have obtained an order of legal dude weed, purchased from my provincial government approved dude weed website, delivered by the Canadian postal service. This is a bizarre feel.

It came in a nifty square plastic container with this sort of confusing sticker on the side. Product itself passes the visual check. Very nice colour and smells fresh. Have not tried it yet. This is supposedly Canopy's premium extra fancy brand so I'm curious if it's really worth the extra money.
