/smg/ - Stock Market General

Ding ding ding! How did everyone’s Christmas morning go? I got a ton of great presents! It was a little tense though! It’ll be a new year soon with all your /smg/ frens!


>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.

How long can I hold an inverse etf?
If I drop into a 3x leveraged reverse s&up etf, what happens if I leave it in there for a month or whatever? Does it reset on the daily?

I dab on niBBas like you with my double dubs kek and check ‘em

I bet my life's savings against Facebook, how dumb or smart am I? Shorted $6k at 126 with the thoughts that the EU and Dem-controlled House will launch a bunch of investigations and levy some major fines against them

you can hold it for as long as you want, but it's re-leveraged daily, and there's no guarantee the market will keep going down for a month

my bet is alcohol rehab has lots of customers after this winter season cause holidays hit middle of week. interesting to see what kind of massacre awaits euro markets on thursday now after dow dipping

oil closed -7%. 2006 oil lows 26 and 2009 32

>what happens if I leave it in there for a month
You get rich 'cause this market gon crash, boy.

That is NOT a turkey

Looking at this more in depth, it seems the associated fees make these only worth it if you're not messing around with Monopoly money. Is that true with shorts and puts as well?

Is the only sensible way into for poorfags and the risk averse to long stocks once we approach what looks like a bottom?

>this market going down
I believe this to be the case. But every time I believe something right now, trump reveals one of his trap cards.

That should read:
Is the only sensible way into for poorfags and the risk averse INTO THE STOCK MARKET to long stocks once we approach what looks like a bottom?

All depends on the market as a whole.

Average in always

What does /smg/ think about Ford shares?

Why would averaging in be better than covering one big buy in with some put options?

Doesn't that mean more individual transactions and more transaction fees?

Or if I'm worried about that and not chasing big gains then I'm never gonna make it?

Trash

there are no transaction fees if you use robinhood
"making it" is a lie peddled by larping crypto neets
aiming for slow and steady growth is a better option

whatever the rest of you do, I won't capitulate even if my entire portfolio gets liquidated

Futures are cratering

Thanks user. Anything else I should know about robinhood vs. traditional brokers? I feel like schwab is somewhat more "secure", even though nothing is truly secure. I figure I'll just transfer some play money or deposit my next paycheck to robinhood, and start messing around with low stakes trades now that I won't have to worry about the fees weakening the upside.

Not to mention futures contracts.

Use a real broker if you want some worthwhile tools.

Excellent, more cheapies
Start averaging under $7

Like what?
I can't into fancy graphs yet. But I wanna learn how so I'm gonna sink some time into investopedia.
Those kinds of tools?

Expect some really good deals with Ford. Price will likely go lower. I'm DCAing and the dividends will be great next year.

You can find all the "tools" that other brokers give you online for free
Read the OP, my man

>worthwhile tools
only a shitty craftsman blames his tools

TD Ameritrade has stock screening tools, easy access to financial data (balance sheets), etc.

No, like thinkorswim, tradestation, IB's trader workstation, and a decent browser-based platform to research fundamentals.

Thanks for the cheapies fren

Whats a good one for short interest and option orders?

>he doesn't have DRIP

Free shit has delayed data. Good luck with that.

I have a schwab account and would use that for the info, just use robinhood for the actual trades. I don't see how the data delay would hurt me then?

These futures lmao.

im already 70% into my swing longs but still bothered I have dry powder left. Tomorrow morning better open with one last dip to 230 with a VIX spike to 40s so I can finish and ride this +22% wave up

how cute the tripfag thinks we are coming up.

what are you going to spend your short gains on

Nothing. I am too afraid to do options. I am sitting on 50k cash though waiting for the bottom

tomorrow is the bottom

screen cap it nerd i've been doing this since before you were born

When I look at the s&p chart, I hear the outro to Layla in the distance and see a montage of 2018 memes

fair, you're gonna get some mega deals

That'd be different because they expect you'll trade through them and generate enough commission to cover the cost of real-time exchange data. Regardless, I would never trust a zero-commission broker because you're most likely getting particularly shitty order routing and they probably rely on that to get above average market maker rebates to make up the lost commission revenue. Not to mention, any kind of margined trade through robinhood costs a monthly fee; no thanks lol.

Anons, I've been trading crypto and forex for a moment and it went ok, some earnings but not life changing.

At the moment I am spending a lot of money I earned on my study. I have a friend who can finance me 5 to 10k to start trading again, fully insured if things go wrong, I do not have to pay it back.

I've been hesitant to go into the stock market for a while, but had no spare time due study.
Now that the markets are declining, I see this as a great opportunity to take that amount from my friend and start
steadily and risk free.

How do you think about it? I understand I'm asking advise from strangers on Jow Forums but good advice can be filtered, just curious what you guys would do and how. Note that I'm unknown with the stock market
so advise on that field would be appreciated.

Yeah but that Trump quote is legit regardless of Zerohedge's editorializing.

I would not want to loose a friends 5k, only you know how likely that is

Sure thing kiddo. hahaha

That's highly correlated to the price of oil; just as gold miners are highly correlated to the price of gold.

user, do you realize you are behaving exactly the same way as a fomo buyer at the peak of a bubble? 20% retrace on indices and you're saying no bounce, down to -50% or something? Even 2008 didn't move directly down in that way. It had three distinct rebounds during the overall bearish trend. Short on margin or with leverage at your peril.

Watch Asia at open

Not him and while I agree there will be a bounce I think it starts Thursday or Friday, the psychology doesn't add up to me for Wednesday. Having said that I'm prepared for anything.

Agreed. Volatile Wednesday, maybe set a fresh low or maybe wind up with an inside candle like the Nikkei is doing right now. I don't expect a rebound in earnest until Friday as Thursday is tax loss sell deadline day.

Also speaking of the Nikkei, why are they so fucking fond of gaps up and down from one day to the next? Their chart is ridiculously spastic for an index.

BELLY

theyre open the shortest amount of time + opens at the oddest time + lunchbreak so misses out on the big moves

nikkei has lunch break too unirinocally during the day when market is paused :)

I sold at Dow 25k and am thinking about buying back in.

It's a retirement account so saving 15% is a good enough bonus to risk missing the golden bull. Time to let it sit and collect those sweet dividends.

>Kek nasdick under 5900

Back above again. Futures are drunk. Weaving all over the place.

Speaking of ratsy, where is the next part of the comic? Didn’t nikki say it was coming out in December or January? It’s been more than three months since the last one, WHERE IS COACH BANANA SPLIT

Just wait til people are cliff jumping and the biggest concern on the American publics mind is the economy.

they've been doing the same thing every day

Lads i've gotten dicked the last couple of months. when does it get better.

But there isn't any real news is there? I mean sure if there was like some massive dark cloud looming over the economy I could see it but it also seems like an orange man bad induced selloff.

Corporate debt bubble popping Q3 2019 when Duetsche Bank fails.

tell me what economic reason caused the 87(?) crash, and just because we plebs have not yet been tolld the reason does not mean there is no reason

DB failing will be bad for American markets for like, 2 days with massive declines but it would probably be bullish in the long term and rebound very quickly as European money flows into American markets for safety. Euros would finish the transition to 3rd world though.
