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.
Seriously considering buying disney. Can they keep the marvel money machine printing?

bought some vxxb the other day. I'll probably get assblasted, given that all the huge hedge funds are mega short vol right now, but its so fucking low I feel like its a good value
Aaron Harris
not even bonds? not gold? not bitcoin? I like cash I mean, I love cash, but cash is a short term position hold cash on the weekly/monthly at max, for buying opportunities don't hold cash for a year (IMO)
VXXB decays. It's precursor, VXX, split about every year or two. so don't buy it just because it seems cheap: you have to buy it as a timing play/hedge, but with a specific (short) time period in mind, a couple weeks at absolute most. That's why you might as well go really balls to the walls and buy options on things like VXXB, it's necessarily a timing play
>Bloomberg says Etrade is close to launching crypto with Bitcoin and Etherium >trying to keep up with Robinhood
Is it time? Should I get some crypto? I just don’t trust this shit.
Anthony Ross
you shouldn't trust it, it's speculative but you shouldn't necessarily trust anything else either (USD, equities, bonds) If you go say, 2% - 5% crypto, maybe you'll make some money just be sure to start selling out as it goes up, don't be too patient to sell out. I lean towards 2%. some in BTC/ETH, some in a small alt-coin. worse case you lose it all

>muh analysts
analysts are wrong all the time, especially when it comes to biotechs where a seemingly promising stock can be completely demolished by bad clinical trial results
>on 3rd clinical trial progressing to phase 3 doesn't mean the company will succeed in phase 3 what matters more than the stage of development a company is at is the actual results of the clinical trials

If you aren't just messing with me, I really think you shouldn't mess with biotech There are a lot of differences between clinical stage biotechs and most other stocks, it's easy to lose money on biotechs if you don't know what you're getting into

Where my foodbros at? We hyped for the Kraft Heinz earnings Tuesday?
I got a great feeling even though I had a good feeling going into last quarter as well. I doubled down at $32 so my average buy is only $39.

is the market opened yet guys?
Nolan Nelson
jfc I already sense a mass wave of normies because of the post showing a guy making 160k off of disney options
the market opens 9:30-4 normally I believe, but robinhood gold users can trade from 9 to 6
Aiden Moore
Kraft and other companies who are in the dumps (NWL, DF, etc.) usually don't just turn it around in one quarter. They're on a longer rebuilding period than that. There might be a small pump with earnings, but KHC is a multi-year investment from now on.
CAG did dump one quarter and pump the next, but that isn't the norm.
Hang Seng/Shanghai are open. Basically the Asian markets that aren't the Nikkei (which is closed all week for very special circumstances). Europe it's almost 5 in the morning, so they'll open in 4 hours or so
I don't think they are in the dumps. Earnings were still strong last quarter and all the bad news was immaterial financially. The write down in Oscar Meyer (wasn't buy the company for that garbage brand anyways), the cut of the dividend (saw it coming and wish they cut it more honestly to pay down debt faster), and the SEC inquiry which was already resolved. None of that is impacting their bottom line and it's all overblown.
All the bad news was priced in and the drop was a major overreaction. The core business model is still strong. And I like the business's they did decide to shop to help pay off the debt.
If it does take a while to recover I will just enjoy accumulating the cheapies and reinvesting the dividend.

it still cracks me up when people post times here that arnt in the only timesone that matters: EST
there is usually a bunch of salty westcoast and mountain time noobs in these threads
EST has TN and the Carolinas, those are nice, never been to the northeast
one nice thing about PST and MTN is the market opens earlier in the morning

there's nothing wrong with not knowing something, but it lowers the quality of discussion when the thread is flooded with people asking questions about basic things, so I think some degree of elitism has a legitimate purpose here

I would own a shitload of Disney in a heartbeat. Disney is one of those buy and hold forever stocks because it isn't going anywhere. At the very least, buy some option calls for it this week. Avengers is absolutely huge. And Star Wars is on the distant horizon too so keep an eye out for that.
the issue isn't you not having enough money, it's the market/your performance not being so consistent that you can make a set amount every day
Ryan Wilson
makes sense. im 28. I only trade options. I have calls on DIS, SIRI, HSY, and PFE right now. I'm selling my HSY tomorrow morning and DIS tomorrow afternoon. SIRI is going to go back up to $6 this month and I'm betting Pfizer will beat earnings projections

> Inflation is "low" right now apparently if one ignores the massive stock market growth and asset price inflation, to which the QE and bailouts contributed ever since 2007.
2000-202X should in history probably be treated as two decades that were lost, and one continuous economic zombie era in USA.
Andrew Allen
The robbery in plain sight, here. Tax payers paying for all of it. It's just a joke.
gotta be careful with all calls like that: as earnings season starts to wind down this week, the market could decide a direction. I don't know how secure your position is if we hit some turbulence
>robbery if we play our cards right, zoomers will pay for it all in 100 years

Oh. Same here. I also own disney and want more. This me: I do not understand what this graph is trying to convey. Maybe I should just give up on understanding macroeconomics. Seems important though.
I'm fairly confident that boomers have things orchestrated perfectly so all the shit will hit the fan and bubbles will burst when they die.
Make no mistake X'ers, millenials, and zoomers: we're in for a bad time.

the populace lacks the strength of will to fight and kill they'll sit on their couches right up until the moment that the supermarket shelves are empty. They won't have enough sugar in their blood to do anything but fester and die where they sit. country has been 99% feminized, it will die the same slow pathetic death as every other country that emasculates itself
most of us got our start selling drugs. once you get a handle on that, the bond market and forex should be your next steps before you try and touch stocks or crypto
>I do not understand what this graph is trying to convey do you understand what the concept of inflation means in the general, classical sense?
seasoned traders, tell me what you think about it. It has flown under the radar HARD
Oliver Parker
so 'traditional' inflation that you learn about in a basic macroeconics class does mean that. if there is more money in circulation (called the 'money supply'), but the same amount of resources, each unit of currency is worth less, so it takes more of it to buy the same amount of assets.
The federal reserve has a mandate from congress to keep money supply and asset prices stable, while keeping unemployment low. But they realized a trick to get around this: if they print money and directly buy equities and other financial instruments, the money doesn't get out into the pedestrian money supply. In this way, 'they' can increase the price of things like the S&P, through a quasi-inflation (an inflationary process), but the price of a loaf of bread doesn't increase as much.
does that kind of make sense? the money directly goes into financial assets, not 'real' assets. So it's a targeted inflation, to try and keep the financial system from collapsing, to try and keep pensions and municipalities afloat, etc. No one knows the long term consequences, if it can be stopped or normalized, etc.
JUST I've seen the story behind this crazy bitch. There's no way she didn't know her company was a fraud. Look at those eyes!

Interesting. I am curious what the consequences of this economic model will be in the future. Odd that other societies and ancient world economies didn't have something similar. Was gold backing the key difference?

>Based on the latest filings, there is 150.50% of institutional ownership. Short-interest is 0, which is 0.00% of shares outstanding. The short-interest ratio or days-to-cover ratio is 0.00.
Lincoln Walker
financialization of everything is a completely new concept, only a couple decades old.
inflation has only been around since currency was used that could be easily replicated, IE paper money. Even with paper money, if it is backed by a tangible asset (IE gold), then high inflation isn't really possible. So 'normal' inflation as a concept is something that is only a couple hundred years old. But quantitative easing (the inflation of just financial asset classes, but not normal consumer goods) is much newer, only a few decades old.
What he means is that is a bot-written article. There is a template and then a webscraper finds and fills in the details, a human glances over it, and it gets published on a website to generate ad revenue. Many such articles
> federal reserve has a mandate from congress to keep money supply stable lost track of in the 80s > asset prices stable lost track of in 2007 > nominal interest rate policy not working despite being at zero lower bound under Obama (so their argument is counterfactual: we avoided Great Depression) > targeted inflation, to try and keep the financial system from collapsing, pensions and municipalities afloat comes unironically at the expense of the future, mainly the taxpayers getting hollowed out.
trying to control emergent system like economy with extra-market institution just means that now the economic actors first have to buy the people in control of these institutions and then they might think of producing something real of which economic value can be extracted.

In fact, let's have some more fun and imagine Jow Forums as a microcosm of our twisted economy.
how many of this board's users are interested in putting their capital towards investing in productive businesses? everyone just wants to gamble and get rich.
Obviously outside of these threads it's mostly a crypto wasteland, but even within it's a bunch of kids who just want to trade options. Very few are interested in actual economic activity, real production of value. Few even would understand what you mean if you told them that the purpose of financial markets in a healthy economy is to facilitate such investment.
That kind of makes sense but that sounds... I don’t have the right word for it
Isn’t the US always bashing state owned enterprise like Chinese steel manufacturing, Petrobras petroleum in Brazil, Venezuelan govt owning farms and power companies, etc.? If the govt is buying equities, however you slice it that’s govt ownership of the “private” sector, increasing overtime.

> investing in productive businesses Classicals, real classicals like Ricardo and Say considered the link between saving - investment that of prime importance and economic engine. When you saved (by investing, these were the same thing to them) you deferred consumption so you could consume more in the future period (meaning: amount of items you could buy with money had grown, your purchasing power had grown, there had been deflationary effect through economic growth).
But Keynes subverted all of that: to Keynesian economics savings = hoarding = stuffing money into sock & Investing = investing into new productive capacity. Now you have 'deficit' appear here since according to Keynesians S doesn't match I. So the government has to come out and help investing, from which, terrible amount of terrible consequences follow, such as crowding out investing, replacing it with government intrusion funneling tax moneys to projects which were not explicitly chosen by saver-investors (in the Ricardian sense) in the first place and wealth is destroyed; now long term saving has been completely fucked by (forced) low interest rate policie , which is a huge opportunity cost we are going to pay as time goes on.
When one reads Keynesian economics or monetary economics, the psychological trauma caused by the irreducibility of Say's Law is the more or less implicit and explicit red line.
