>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 hate this goddamn country. Wanna day trade? Nope, you don't have 25k in your account. Wanna buy into some fund? Nope, you don't have a million dollars in assets and 200k yearly income. Can't even throw a few satoshis at some ICO thanks to the SEC. >It isn't cuz you're a poor piece of shit and we're rich and we wanna keep it that way. >Nonononononono. We're just trying to protect you little buddy. But I can take the same money I would have invested and go buy a GODDAMN LOTTERY TICKET. I can take a credit card to the casino and knock myself out. And that's perfectly fucking cool. Fuck this piece of shit place.

Lost like 4% of my stack on that. Gained 8% later that day but holy shit what if I hadn't? I'm pretty confident in my trades giving average higher gains, and I do use stop losses and rules for myself in general, but I wonder if I'm just going to enter a series of bad trades and lose my shit and kill myself at some point.
Maybe I should just long ethereum at 1.40x leverage in a CFD and sit out the year. Should give me at least a 10x and chances of ethereum dropping so far I get margin called is extremely low.

it's unironically to keep Americans safe.
If you worked with Americans who have money to invest, you'd realize they view the whole world of finance as a lotto ticket. I mean these people are really fucking dumb, and they blow up their accounts all the time. Even Americans with $100k in liquid cash will fuck everything up for themselves without much care. The laws are absolutely essential due to average IQ here.

Then there should be like an exam or something you can take to prove that you understand. Not just having a certain net worth, which is the current system to become an "accredited investor".

Unironically when I oppened my trading account (frenchfag here) there was a little exam with 10 multiple choices questions. It was kinda fun. I guess if you fail your bank calls and ask you if you really want to do that.

is the DAX smelling an hard Brexit or Powell fucking up again or... both?
>dax opening red >cac opening 1% green probably brexit, since the EU announced that the brexit deal wasn't renegotiable despite what the brit parliament tries to say.
Justin Young
woops, cac data just updated, opening at equilibrium
>EU announced that the brexit deal wasn't renegotiable maybe it has something to do with the unstoppable Kalergi Plan?

I see your beef is with the accredited investor distinction.
It's more to do with regulating the advertising of financial services actually. Imagine if any old fund could mass mail grandmas and grandpas asking for $25k to get started with a plausible investment strategy. The fund has a good track record, things seem swell enough, but now they can line their pockets with easily persuaded investors (dumb money) and report it as profit.
This is how we would end up with 100,000 Bernie Madoffs

Federal Reserve is having their press conference tomorrow - will talk about this year's rate hikes and balance sheet reduction. Amazon, Alibaba, Boeing and Microsoft are all reporting tomorrow too.
M sell signals fired off on QQQ late last week and yesterday. Apple's bounce has already faded in the futures and the aforementioned events taking place tomorrow will tank the market for another December low retest before continuing upward.
