/smg/ - Stock Market General

Last I checked, the CEO had been “dumping” shares weekly as part of scheduled divestment plan. CEO’s are often paid largely in stock, and can’t really sell whenever they want to, they orchestrate their sales months in advance and I think coordinate with or leave the timing up to someone else, so they can’t get in trouble for insider trading and price manipulation.
That said, I also worry a bit when I see that. I see such conflicting things about earnings, a lot of analysts think they’re going to beat the estimates and they do have a history of upside earnings surprises, but then Schwab seems to absolutely hate them.
I might trim before earnings next month. My bullish case for them was based Apple cash, and the new Apple card is still being tested I think.

why are these threads so fucking dead lately? everyone getting banned?

I wouldn't hold more than 20% of your account in it
is this a gamble? buying puts just to buy puts, after looking at the graph?
I'd advise against, look for real opportunities
if you did your homework and you know 9$ GE puts are a good opportunity, you probably wouldn't be asking.
If you learn from it, it's worth
if you were being cautious based on what you saw, it's still a good decision
you sold this morning? maybe a case of being too twitchy off the open
a lot of days recently start down and recover (for the general market)
amazon is still in an uptrend (upchannel for hte graphically inclined).
your learning opportunity might be patience and more big-picture view in this case
then again I odn't know what the call was

they used to crossthread forex general with robinhood general back in 2015-2016
there was a great alaskan forex trader swinging around 7 figures in USD
I think the major crypto bull runs purged most of the old slower moving generals though, and they never came back because posters dont reply fast enough unfortunately
there use to be actual small business threads on Jow Forums too, not dropshipping or adbot meme shit, but actual lisenced contracting, government, and family owned business generals/advice threads too
just do a split between LMT, more LMT, BA, HON, and another LMT share
get some GD or RTN if you are feeling lucky
>>There's been rumors about invading Iran for over a decade at this point, won't happen, doesn't benefit major players (IMO)
there have been rumors about invading Iran ever since the Iran-Iraq war at least, so a few decades now
Iran is an easy boogyman for people (and especially politicians) to yell about when they know nothing about international relations/diplomacy (not to mention logistics and power projection...)
i can top that
>Sold my AMZN share at $1500 in december
>never bought back in
on the bright side, 30% of my portfolio isnt one stock/company anymore
i think a few tripfags offed themselves after their biotech memes crashed this past month or so
these threads have been dying since like newyears though...

Honestly I’ve been honestly wondering the same thing to be honestly.
It’s earning season during a bull run, every day we’ve got companies mooning (but also Xilinxes). Shits actually exciting. What are people even doing?
I can’t imagine how bored I’ll be if we go back to crabbing.
Also, I tried to warn you about the R/S yesterday but you mustve missed my post.

Austin Hall
Good afternoon, traders. How have you been doing this week?
Jayden Jones
GE always drops after earnings. I don't have any information that implies they would beat their earnings this quarter. Feels like a pretty safe bet to me. Maybe could do a bit more ITM but ge is under too much pressure for them to get any gains unless they report killer earnings.
Jackson Cook
My bad.
ROBINHOOD IS A SCAM!
Y'all are faggots; especially tripcoded attention-seeking namefags.
College kids getting their lives wrecked over a $20 bill. Haha!
And all the usually usual shitposting.
Hope your screen's green and bottom line's black today, faggots.
