MKC 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.

Fuck lg for waiting until the markets are completely closed to do their earnings

Is MKC the official stock of smg?

>AAPL is trading higher than before the projection cuts earlier this month
I guess this is the earnings call that has convinced me I know absolutely nothing about figuring out what a stock is really worth. Or how to interpret hard data, macro trends, and what have you.
Would user care to enlighten me on how to do my own DD and not just follow the terrible advice here and on CNBC/Bloomberg?

YEA, like PG&E that went bankrupt and the stock price goes up. weird.

It's all a fucking game where the little guy (you) loses. The Apple report was horrendous and it's up 6%. Massive sales declines in China. Revenue way down and growth cut. Tens of billions sitting in a savings accounts because they're too fucking clueless to know how to invest it properly since Steve Jobs died.

Don't try and play earning reports. Invest your money in index funds each pay check and buy companies you really like on dips and hold them long term.

Keep a small stack to gamble with on options and earnings but just money you can afford to lose and don't get mad when you lose it.

You just gotta ask yourself, "if I were a robot, who would I save from the flames?"

Lost like 3% today. Fuck avco

All total the HP films brought in over 7 billion in profit. Assuming half that went to cover the film costs we have 3.5 billion left in gross profit. 3.5 billion will put a dent in the debt load, assuming the Fantastic beasts pull in this amount. Hell they may surpass it. This is just one film franchise, Time Warner has other films,etc in the works. Then you have the profits from Streaming service and 5G. Yes it will take time to pay down the debt (190 billion) but at least they will now be in a position to make money instead of spending it on more acquisitions.

Just like when cable internet came out; people ran out in waves to sign up for it. 5G will be no different. Higher bandwidth rules and people will be like sheep all wanting it for there streaming videos and such on there devices.

BGS to outperform

Sold all my LCI.. now reccomend buying Sears

AAPL went up because the earning report was being hyped and people either fomo'd or predicted that people would buy right before closing and bought planning to sell once the market opens tomorrow

the last gasp of boomer fomo

ALL IN ON SQQQ

Yeah, just like my Dis and T stock. I don't give a shit what the stock price is long as that divvy is safe and sound. Keep paying out that div and hell hike it some and I'm good. I view the money I've invested as already spent. Its gone. Now my AMRN is different. This is where I stand to make back every dollar I've invested and then some once the fucking FDA greenlights it. My Dis and T stock payouts would then be extra "gravy" free income for 15 - 20 yrs.

I don't like T. The cable business is just going to be a net drag on their revenue. I like VZ better, a pure cellphone play that doesn't have to worry about streaming wars and cable cutting and all that other bullshit and will probably profit a lot more off of 5G than T.

T has been on a 20 year decline and I don't think they will turn it around. The only thing holding them up are retarded boomers that see a 5%+ dividend and lose all rational thought like a monkey.

Buy the dip.

It's funny that Apples greatest accomplishment was convincing the world it's more important than Microsoft.

Which company provides the operating system and software for all government agencies including the department of defense and CIA? Microsoft. Who develops AI facial recognition technology for the feds and police? Microsoft. Who provides personal tech support to the goverment? Microsoft. Who provides the os, software, and tools to nearly every major big and small buisness? Microsoft. Who controls the second largest Cloud service in the world? Microsoft. Who controls some of the biggest billion dollar franchises in all of video games Minecraft, Halo, and Gears of War? Microsoft. Who sells personal laptops and gaming consoles? Microsoft. Which company host some of the biggest retailers in the world on their cloud service I'm talking about Walmart (Sam's club), Costco, Lowes, etc? Microsoft. Who has a continuous revenue generating system through business subscriptions and video game subscription models? Microsoft.

Oh but I'm sure a company that makes a majority of its profit from selling phones is more important and valuable. LMFAO can't believe Apple could convince not just normal people but millionaires and billionaires as well.

fuck off genXer. its ogre. apple dead bruh

cnn.com/2019/01/29/tech/apple-iphone-sales/index.html

they got 5% less growth than last year same quarter and they had a 15% tax break for the full year in play that wasnt before. its over . walk away lest your anus feel the fury of a hundred million lost souls who invested in etherium. this is your last warning

PG&E I dunno if they will go bankrupt. Suddenly turning off all there customers electric one day would be kinda hard to do. The backlash from that would be severe. It ain't like a cellphone, something you can do without.

whoops 15% less growth in iphone sales.
cnbc.com/2019/01/29/apple-q1-2019-earnings.html

what else does any one buy from them? nobody wanted gold watches or macs

Phones are more promising to investors, they have a larger transmission vector for other services. Companies like Uber wouldn't have succeeded if they they launched on the microsoft web store.

That's not how bankruptcy works unless you're playing monopoly.

They're not fooling anyone except retarded boomers like Buffet who think 90 billion sitting in a savings account represents "value".

Everyone with a brain knows Apple was finished when Jobs died. They had some amazing products but I doubt they will have anymore breakthroughs.

" $AAPL $245 billion cash on hand, up 3%."

Muh airpods tho

Means your broke ain't it. That your going out of business. That the office is closing never to reopen. So if they don't get a buyer then they shut the shit down for good.

When the top-secret Steve Jobs Aibot becomes CEO will you buy then?

youtube.com/watch?v=G36EFclZxK4

I'm glad I bought shares today.

MSFT or Intel will invent a Steve Jobs AI decades before Apple and I already hold some of both, so no.

No that's not what it means, especially not in the US where we have especially intricate bankruptcy laws

Why is sushi so expensive everywhere except like 3 places?

I know shareholders typically get the shaft from it.

Sushi is a pain in the ass to prepare.

wow, bears think that 1 company dying kills the whole market?

GNC is going to run huge, I like UXIN and SAEX too

In the event that a company closes its doors for good, yeah

Holy shit does Robinhood have any QA staff at all it's they literally introduce a new bug every update

That's the whole point of equity. You get the profits but when you fuck up you get nothing. It would be retarded if shareholders didn't get shafted.

seriously last I heard Apple was using fucking google cloud as their cloud service. We are talking about a phone company that was once valued over 1.08 trillion a few months ago and they can't even develop their own fucking cloud service. They don't have any current contracts for AI with the government or any one last I heard. What has Apple been developing technologically besides the rumored Icar their fucking retina display monitors lmfao

A lot of apple's "savings" got earned by dodging the U.S tax laws. They keep a big pile in offshore banks that have no taxes and tell the U.S to fuck off. So yeah I'd make a pile of dough to if no tax got sucked out of my check each month.

They're disrupting the QA industry user.

Ironically this isn't true in debt markets. The US government has historically always been willing to point a gun at debtors whenever banks profits are at risk. If it was guaranteed you'd get your money back there would be no point of having interest beyond estimated inflation.

GNC is competing with Amazon now that they have their own fitness shit. Competing against one of your primary distributors is tough. The market is only becoming bigger and bigger too.

What 3 places?

>GNC
Watch Amazon buy them for peanuts. Hell I saw some story today where some dude was all for Amazon buying Fedex.

>exempt goes in all fields

They can't develop shit. It's a red flag when a fucking tech company has let 90 billion sit in a savings account for a decade because they literally don't know what to do. Amazon would have 5x'd that money by now.

It's actually amazing when you think about how much fucking money Apple made off of a few cool looking phone designs and branding. I don't know what it is but they just don't have the capabilities amazon/FB/MSFT has. Maybe it is bad hiring?

It almost feels like they're more like a fashion company than any successful tech company. Either way they're fucked IMO.

Can the next general be a fuck truckers general?

I hate these low IQ cucks fucking up my commute every morning.

The protein powder market is such a scam. If you do the math, cheap protein is almost impossible to find. All most as if the overall protein content of a food determines it's price. That said fast food provides some of the cheapest dollar to protein ratio while workout powder is expensive af

AAPL haters gonna hate

Did one of those stock forecast models today on MSFT stock. It said in 5 yrs the stock would be worth 248 a share. I know a lot of time those things are bullshit but still, be nice if it was true.

They always start shit too. Flip you off. Do stupid shit on the road. I remember one time i was driving and a truck wanted to come over. Had his turn signal on. I went back for about one minute maybe two then i think because so much time has passed he and turned his turn signal off about 30 seconds ago he just wanted to get rid of me since there weren't a lot of drivers on the road. I go back to where i was and he just starts fucking coming over. I called the number on the back of his truck and got him in trouble. If it means anything i banged a truckers daughter one time which was kinda fun

Whey powder is cheaper than any other source of protein.
a big mac is 26 grams at $4, I buy expensive as fuck whey (because of added BCAAs) from Optimum and 77 servings of 21 grams is $50

or you could, you know, just drink whole milk that has casien and whey protein, both of which are good for you

unless you're lactose intolerant, then I have no sympathy for minorities. kidding, but whole milk is BASED

Attached: LCI.jpg (1754x1051, 439K)

Not really, they're probably following the standard tech trend of valuing QA less than devs

that's the joke

Almond milk plus whey is GOAT.

The amount of saturated fat would fuck you. I'd be drinking 2-3 gallons a day.

Yeah they are all fucking assholes. I love calling these pricks and reporting them.

They think they're amazing drivers for some reason too.

Almond milk, vanilla flavored casein, and some oikos yogurt and nut butter makes a great milkshake. Casein isolate is really fun to cook with.

Looks totally like a rabbit if you pretend the beak is it’s ears

I’m high right now

your brain is made up of mostly saturated fats. they're not as bad for you as "scientists" claim. plus you can get protein from numerous sources.

i'm dead sober and I thought it was a bunny before I clicked on the picture

Looking back on it i probably shouldn't have gone back to where i was. But i was still learning to drive at that time and had just got my license. He thought he was powerful but after i called he started doing below the speed limit and hiding in the back like a bitch. If you ever meet a girl who's dads a trucker. Bang her in her asshole then leave her.
>They think they're amazing drivers for some reason too.
I never fucking got this. All the time they just start "coming over", into your lane without a turn signal or anything. They just start fucking coming over and its dangerous for everyone

At least I only invested only a little over 2k in all together. So if I lost it all no biggie. But thanks to AMRN I stand to make it all back and then some.
My divvy stocks would then just be "free" income generating for me over the next 15 or so yrs. The profits from the Fox - Dis merger and GE spinoffs would be extra gravy to.

Praise AMRN for delivering Profit and "Free long term money" to me.

Apple is all brand, nothing else matters. That faggot Tim Cook could squeeze a worm and GRIDS-laden shit into a macfag's mouth and they'd thank him for it.

this is the epitome of letting bias getting in the way of logic when investing

Anyone else with calls? I think im just gonna sell at open, dont know how long it will hold.

IV is going to dab on you I think.

AMRN is about to be the new LCI isn't it.

Attached: 1548734165629.png (575x523, 443K)

why did you buy an option so close to expiration? You knew the time decay was coming for you

If macfags eating Cook's shit isn't a buy or hodl signal, I dunno what is. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

at least make a post talking about the science and upcoming catalysts like I did with GALT and VTGN

So the burning question, do we buy divvy stocks or vtsax over a 30 year time span?

There is a place for qualitative analysis in investing, but this is probably bullshit. I wouldn't want to bet on Apple's brand loyalty in crunch time, especially now with Jobs dead. People want vision. Apple doesn't have that today.

No comments about AMD missing earnings but still going up 10-15%?

Vtsax imo. Especially if it's a taxable account.

Is it illegal to be a large shareholder in two companies that are in direct competition?

Fuck this app for not explaining things and FUCK investor sites that don’t explain this well enough
Stupid question but can someone please help me understand Stop limit and stop loss so I don’t lose 2 grand tomorrow in a slaughter house I’m looking to dump GE if it breaks the first resistance of 8.66 so I used 8.50 as my stop price, if it hits that then if it hits the limit of 8.90 it should sell at 8.90 right? Or does it have to hit 8.90 twice?
The reason I say 2 grand is because I’m trying to do this with all my shares now

It would be, correct. What about a roth?

>why did you buy an option so close to expiration? You knew the time decay was coming for you

Cuz im poor. But ill be able to sell in the morning for profit

They hit earnings, what are you on about?

Imagine investing this much money while being this stupid

Say i was a majority shareholder in two companies that basically held a monopoly in their industry like VZ and T, or V and MA. How would i not be expected to fix prices?

what the hell...

I'd do vtsax no matter what it's in honestly. Roth will protect dividends from taxes. Even vtsax has a small divvy.

Not too sure on specific laws, but the expectation of a crime does not constitute the commitment of one. For example, this would mean many pension funds and institutional investors are breaking the law because they hold large stakes in lots of companies that could be perceived as direct competitors.

if it hits 8.90, it will become a stop loss that will market sell when it hits 8.50

>400
>a lot of money

kys

Also, why do big tech stocks always announce after market instead of pre market? Is this to try and ease volatility?

Imagine how much more hype it would be if these companies announced right before the bell.

ok; kinda brief since there ain't been any new real developments of late.

Already approved for very high risk folks. Not approved for general use so that's the reason the FDA needs to sign off on it.

Reduce it study declared the drug a winner in knocking down the risk for heart attack (15 - 20%). So you can still down those Triple Baconators without worry even in your 40s.

Once FDA signs off I expect a fat buyout offer or two gets floated.

Drug sales (Profits) is expected to hit 2 billion. Talk is this will be like Lipotore drug was. Remember those Baconator's I mentioned before? Your average cuck will be popping these like candy before eating such a big burger.

Share price target is 30. High of 50. A buyout would double that to least 60 per.

Understood, i get that you should be able to hold stock in companies that are competing directly, but i don't think you should be able to hold a large enough position to influence collusion between them
