just hold as long as your companies have sound fundamentals 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.
>just hold as long as your companies have sound fundamentals Should be renamed to: Shit advice from a tripfag edition. Don't marry your stocks. Eliminate your drawdowns, anons.

>holding is shit advice
you're going to get absolutely fucked over the long run, my man enjoy this downturn while it lasts
unless you are a master day trader with lots of capital.. good luck.. you're going to find your self cutting off all your "drawdowns" and your portfolio is going to be in a "drawdown" all the time for always realizing losses... but hey.. keep watching your youtube videos.. keep up the good work.
Xavier Wood
the real shit is holding a base position in a stock that you never sell and using leverage to scalp swings because you autistically stalk the company.

This is the correct play. Good job user.

>sell when your stocks are going down, regardless of if those stocks are going down for a reason or if they're just going down on natural market fluctuation
this is a good strategy in a bear market, but in a bull market, all you're doing is locking in losses from positions that would go back up if you had just held the stock market is invariably bullish in the long term, bear markets are just intermediate term interruptions
t. only owns one stock (KO) you can act smug now while the market is shitting itself, but this won't last forever, and you'll see the error in your approach eventually
you seem to assume that the stock market will always act like it has recently because you started trading recently and this is all you know so far you're wrong, though in a bull market, your investment philosophy will fuck you over unless you get a lot better than you likely are at technical analysis (mostly important in the short term, which appears to be the only thing you're concerned with)

i guess i shouldn't start talking about how DRIP is a waste of the utility value of cash then either?
Xavier King
my portfolio is weighted heavily into volatile stocks because I'm young (20), I don't invest money I can't afford to lose, and my portfolio is fairly small if my main concern was saving money, I would be weighted mainly into safer stocks like utilities and consumer staples
Ethan Rodriguez
Nothing wrong with volatile stocks. But when you literally burn money by buying +100 shares of memestocks, that's just kinda dumb. Like I said previously, I hope it works out for you. But companies like GALT are unironically trashtier investments.

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STAHP GIVING AWAY THE SECRETS
If you already have that much debt, but can still invest in the risk, I would invest in the risk personally. It's always said that risk leads to reward. That's what rings true to me.
Gavin Foster
what do you mean by this
i have no debt personally and am just buying allt he shit i can, wish i was working more so i could buy even more tbqh
Gabriel Brown
>How many bags are you holding my man?
Oh, i'm fine in that regard. It's just less fun to trade in this limbo between resumption of bullish trend or extended bear market. I can't get anything going the way I'd like so i'm hedging a lot. In full bear or full bull I can short or long, respectively, with less uncertainty and quicker turnover on my swing trades.
No debt? No credit cards? No auto loans? No mortgages? What I mean specifically is leveraging a margin account in a brokerage to buy many shares in much stock. It sounds like a confident strategy in any times of loss, growth, volatility. My understanding is to believe that taking leverage will allow a person to have more opportunity towards larger rewards. The thing is, a person has many options available to fund a brokerage account beyond a simple margin brokerage account. Taking debt on to provide capital that way has more risks, but if someone takes a mortgage on a $1,000,000 home and can buy 1,000 shares of Amazon, maybe 500, not sure, well that is a lot of shares of Amazon to own in a quick instant. If Amazon's price moved more than my comfortable limit, up or down, I would sell fast, move somewhere else, and diversify. Maybe buy about 10 oz. of gold.

Leverage is a great way to lose everything you own. And the fastest way too.
Ryder Russell
You can plan revenue in stable markets that accurately? Enough to pay rent and utilities? What? It sure is. That is very true.
how loose are is the leverage outside of Robinhood? I only get 1x my account and thats more than i'm willing to use on one stock.
Michael James
Outside of robinhood? It largely depends on your broker and what markets you invest in. Most stockbrokers generally offer 4 to 5 times leverage, but shit like forex can take you up to 1000 (read, one thousand) leverage. Fucking insane.
Aaron Williams
what about using leverage to get a ton of short term options?
only alpha chads use max leverage to day trade triple ETF options (after getting a fourth mortgage on their house of course)
you should forex, currency brokers give you 1000x leverage
All coupled with keeping an eye on the Fed's actions and rationales each quarter. Am I missing anything? I'm most moved by metrics that can asses liquidity. Once I see 3/5 of those signals light up, I'd give the market up to a year before it over corrects.
>You can plan revenue in stable markets that accurately?
Over the past four years seen i've been trading, my gains have largely been made during either some of the drop of a bearish trend (like shorting the most of the big hump in 2016) or aggressively chasing small cap spikes in the bull run since then prior to February's dump (battery metals and then weed). As in 2016, I did the worst during the spastic nature of the markets coming off the low.
Does anyone here correlate their gains and losses to their drug use? If you smoke a bowl of some of the kindest bud you've seen, do you still buy stock? Alcohol is always one I'd consider.
Here, in pic related the circled section (pretty well all of 2016), that period of time was a fucking shit show for the markets. So much uncertainty, supports melting like paper for no reason, then recovering a week later; reverse barts, essentially. Barts in both directions, very hard to predict back then.
I dunno. I need to figure out a strategy specific to this type of limbo market period. Probably a lot more of this to come in the next 10 years.
My only thought is that on a reversal that shorts covering could pump it close to 30's.
Brody Adams
are you looking for a squeeze? could get a small one.. You want high short interest, low short ratio... buuutt.. it looks like there is a lot of shares outstanding.. don't know if those shares are ready to sell or not.. would have to read the filings.. i usually look for float and outstanding to be pretty stagnant for awhile.. Also i don't usually go by the daily volumes on shorts..
i think 30s is a little high for that market cap on a short squeeze.. but maybe around 25 to that resistance than after that i think shorts will wait it out and at that point it's just retail trading and new shorts piling in... but you never know...
Nicholas Perry
I see, I guess BZUN has a lower volume and higher short interest.. Gonna ride it out anyway.
Cameron Ramirez
exactly
the egodeath and perception overload on LSD make it truly the best when you want to "see through the bullshit" as cliche as it sounds
the loss of self and loss of abstract thought with shrooms make it so you dont even know what "you" is, you cant even tie your shoes, not to mention understand the concept of "money" or "business" when its good
Best of luck guy, I've traded BZUN off and on for close to a year and it moves faster than most, both ways.
Jeremiah Lewis
Hell Yeah! I played $4 on scratch offs, and I won $1. I don't know if Russia or Chinese play the scratch off lottery, but it can net about $10 or $100 in pocket quickly. It's legal gambling.

I think those automobile manufacturing numbers will go up, but the buying numbers won't keep pace. They will need to hold back on the automobile numbers while the buying numbers catch up.

Jeremiah Rogers
How high will NVDA go?
Connor Harris
Honest to God, I didn't expect it to close even higher. The chinks are spinning it as the trade war will "most likely" be resolved; way more positive about it than we are. Could be a maneuver to boost how their economy looks in the wake of Trumps strong-arm tactics so its not worth looking too deep into, but it does give off a certain vibe.
analysts have about 200 average or so. More concerned with what the market is going to do I expect 1 more major dip. It will scare everyone from buying the dip or planning on which nice company to buy.
Ayden Cox
I don't see that on the table. With China and Powell its quite simply up or down at this point, at least for the next couple months.
Grayson Flores
Good morning /smg/ Euro futures green, also weather has cleared and there's snow on the mountains so it's not so bad.
Listen to what I've been saying. Positive China sentiment is powerful right now, and people are hopeful about the Fed..
Until someone spills the spaghetti this week could actually be pretty good. Powell could even go forward with December hike but plan less next year for a neutral overall result.
I'm kinda betting on brexit deal to fail and stocks taking a dump for that. However, Italy came back to reason and that was my main fear.
Wyatt Williams

If we had to rate impact on our markets with a numeral for the next month. China 5 Fed 4 Brexit 2

Never gonna get anywhere if you're not in crypto, pussy. The old boomer fucks in this thread will tell you otherwise, because they NEED people our age to buy their bags so they make money. Then you have to sell it off to the next generation. Good luck with that.

If Steel tariffs don't go down ya sure. Then again we could obliterate tariffs but Donald could hold a grudge and fuck them in particular out of spite.
