>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.

I'm waiting for it to bleed some more before loading up on, given GE's ties into healthcare and the aging population I think in the long run it'll work out, but I want there to be a as big a margin of safety as possible.

>buying GE
It's doomed user.

Today was my first time day trading. I made some money trading funko but my ACB stock is negative. I kind of expected to play the long game with ACB anyway. I wasted two day trades though and didn't make much money at all, but it was fun and I learned a lot.

I'm in my first week of investing. Probably started about 7 days ago. So far I'm losing my ass but I don't really care because I only put $475 into the market and this is a valuable learning experience while I read "Essays of Warren Buffet" and "The intelligent investor". I'd really feel like shit right now if I had been investing a lot of money for a long time.
In the mean time I guess I'll just save my cash and wait for a big dip in January/Early December before I start buying again.

>Anyone who puts money into whatever-coin after what happened with bitcoins deserves precisely what they get.

Pretty soon you can drop a few hundred on it and pretend you don’t own it for a while. If it doesn’t go bankrupt then you’ll be happy in a few years. I’ve been holding since the summer. Obviously it hasn’t been going well

Why do people on here always panic over minor price action?

You think I'll be fine? I'm worried about the property bubble popping (I'm in canada).

Well in the long term it'll pay off when they do the spinouts. Each spinout will be its own company, which you will get shares in. Said companies could make loads of profit or get bought out. So for $40 for example you get:

GE
BHGE
GE Transportation
Ge Healthcare
GE Capital

Mega bounce. That inverse head and shoulders on the S&P is no joke.

>he invested in real estate
lmao, you're fucked if Canada is anything like the U.S.
We have an aging population, most of their homes are owned by the banks through reverse mortgages. Once all of the old folks die the market is going to be flooded with homes that can't be sold. Unless you're a renter your "investments" will be essentially worthless. Hell, even rent prices will go down because people may finally be buying houses if they're cheap enough.

Normally it'd cost you least $40 per just to get in on one company must less 5

What? No I'm looking for a job and scared we will have 2008.

We're heading in that direction.
Good 5-10 year investment. Wise move. Buy more once the market plummets.

Even if the economy does tank, that doesn't mean all available jobs will magically vanish overnight
Canada's housing bubble is in danger of popping, but even if the Canadian economy does go into a recession right when you start looking for a job, it'll start to recover a lot more quickly than people realize

You'll still be able to get a job but your chances will be higher if you start searching now rather than later.

Even if it does tank, you should still try to apply for jobs
The economy being bad doesn't mean absolutely nobody will get hired for anything, just that less people are able to find employment than usual
The odds may be lower, but they won't be zero

Ok. I'm going to rush to finish my portfolio over this month, then apply in december.

You should get a source of income before you start building a portfolio. Start searching now. December is going to be worse than this month. Retail might get a small boost but that's about it.

Yeah that's why I bought into walmart, least part of it. Then you add the rolling out of the home delivery service of food and expanding of site to store pickup. Seems like walmart is at the right track for profit gain.

I mean, I'm being supported by my parents at the moment.

Crypto is a speculative bubble and the vast majority of cryptocurrencies won't survive the pop, and the ones that will will be at severely reduced prices

But eventually I'll have to settle.

The entire crypto market is a bad investment

When you buy a stock, you're buying a company that makes an actual product
The company generates profit through its goods and/or services that give a stock (a share of ownership of that company) some inherent value
Cryptocurrencies produce no value and have no inherent worth in and of themselves
They're only worth as much as people are willing to pay for them

Because YOLO XD

>Then you're just helping fund R&D on the future promise of a breakthrough

The value of a biotech company is determined by the profit it can generate selling the drugs it produces
Though it is true that biotech is an inherently speculative sector, you can still objectively determine if a company is a good buy or not by doing your research on how their drug has performed in clinical trials and studies and how much funding they have
The end result of a successful biotech company is a physical drug that can treat diseases and potentially save lives
The end result of a cryptocurrency is the same thing it always was, an online token with no intrinsic value

This. Cryptofags are essentially just speculators.

So what you're saying is the issue with crypto is the lack of a profit model?

Can someone make an argument for longing VIX vs. buying OTM SPY puts? Would like to hear a for/against either one.

Where is the end of year rally?
Where is the government gridlock rally?
Where is the third year presidency rally?

What the fuck is happening?

Not only the lack of a profit model, but also the lack of utility of any individual coin itself
The underlying blockchain technology is useful, but it's been shown that when companies/governments adopt blockchain technology, they just make their own proprietary coins instead of buying one that's already on the market
What's to stop a company from just making its own cryptocurrency that has exactly the same function as Chainlink, but is produced solely by that company and only used by that company and others like it

You retard Wojack, We in the end-times now

The market is deciding between a 3rd wave down or an inverse head and shoulders rally. If we stay above 2700 the next few days, to the moon we go. If we go below, hold on to your butts.

So if we down 1% more we fucked

2700 is not a hard line. It would be the supports around there. What I mean is that if this thing starts to go down, it's going to go WAY down.

fuck it, just start planning to 2022 and buying shit that goes south.

The real support is where the circuit breakers are.
Once we trip one, expect a -50% plunge in Dow

You're in the best market for tech job-seeking ever. Just apply to 10 places, you'll get in somewhere.

He better hurry up because the tech industry is waaaaaayyyyyy over valued. It's probably going to be one of the hardest hit. I say that as someone working in the tech industry.

Ok, I'll send out some applications.

when is the right time to buy?!!

This is kind of making me panic, what if I get a job then get laid off immediately

Honestly I'm just too anxiety filled, I'm just at the point where I can finally leave the house after 2 years.

Don't panic. Hustle.

Tech stocks are overvalued, but IT for non-tech companies is gonna keep booming.

Aldi, Wal-Mart, and a lot of other big box stores are expanding and developing proprietary software for supply chain management. Everyone in finance is scrambling for decent developers. Even the VA needs devs.

I just sold Red Hat to buy more GE, but if Red Hat drops below $160 again, I'll take some cash out of savings to buy more. Salesforce is also solid, but I'm more hesitant since they're a bit cult-ish.

Your best bet is an internship with a large company. They'll pay you fairly, show you a good time, and hire about 80% of their interns as full-timers once the summer ends.

Corporate is tame, and layoffs are actually pretty rare for full-time developers. There's high turnover in middle management, and contractors come and go, but unless you're shit at your job, you'll be more or less set.

Good luck user.

I'm not too confident in GE. Although you're right about tech. Although I wasn't too confident in Ford and I bought it anyway since it's a dividend value stock. So who knows what could happen with GE. It could be an undervalued winner. Have you checked out their balance sheets? Did you find anything interesting?

Dieing in your sleep would be like a random reset. Like, I had some shit going on, but now this is happening. Okay. Guess I'll start some new shit, then.

My idea of the tech boom is that it’ll keep going till the boomers finally leave the workforce. They’re the ones still impressed by anyone who can open Word. It’s to the point that middle schoolers can code. Once they flood the market coupled with newer tech savvy bosses the bottom will fall out. That’s just my opinion though.

I’m actually feeling good. I had a convo with a literal 10/10 single milf over nothing in particular, just chatting. She’s younger than me but I’d marry her right now if she asked. It may not go anywhere but at least I tried. I’m glad it happened cause the other milf I was crushing on got a bf and I was feeling pretty bummed.
