not sure what you mean Things aren't looking good for me, I keep fucking up when to buy volatility versus when to buy inverse... versus when I should go fucking tqqq, damn this market is nuts
Charles Butler
on the weekly it's very bullish with the oversold rsi. 180 has been good support over the years
Lucas Rodriguez
I sold my calls at the top and now my puts are just slowly dragging me down
I'm about to ask some really stupid questions and I apologize in advance.
1. My employee is releasing an employee stock program next year, but I was wondering if it would be smart to just buy some stocks right now because I can only see things going up from here. 2. Do employee stock programs usually give you a good enough discount worth waiting to begin with? How does that work? 3. Would it be insider trading if I buy stocks for the company I work at? I'm just an individual contributor- nothing special. I know a fair amount more than I should just because I guess I'm the type of person people just blabber on to without realizing what they're telling me.
Again, sorry for the probably stupid questions. I'm new to this whole corporate life thing.

I bought 291 SPY calls. I think trump set this whole thing up to bring the market up. There's no real long term game plan here for mexico like china. Mexico will get beat hard if they try and keep this up for a year hoping that trump doesn't get reelected.
Ayden Fisher
you must be trolling being that clueless. If you have a capital of 10k and you're losing 1000, you're down 10%.
Camden Gray
1 & 2) you usually get a 5-10% discount based on the lowest price at the beginning OR end of the purchasing term. it's worth doing if you want to own the company stock.
3) it's not insider trading since you're just a pleb, but i wouldn't do it anyways since you have advantages with 1 & 2.
personally i like my extra money going towards an index or other companies since i dont like to put all my eggs in one basket. if the company does well, i'll do well as an employee. if the company does shit, you probably wont get a raise/bonus AND the stock you own will go down.
Oliver Cox
Normally you can't lose. You either get your investment back or stock at current market price. Plus you're buying at a discount.
Cooper Edwards
>I can only see things going up from here. oh no no no no no no
Elijah Carter
Thank you so much for explaining this to me! I think I will just wait for the employee stock program then. We have some really great products coming out so I'm hoping I can cash in before all of that is announced. Fingers crossed.
>if the company does shit, you probably wont get a raise/bonus AND the stock you own will go down. You're so right. Thanks for pointing this out. I'd rather not get more money than not get more money AND lose money I already had.

>1. My employee is releasing an employee stock program next year, but I was wondering if it would be smart to just buy some stocks right now because I can only see things going up from here. Yes, if you think it will go up get in now. > 2. Do employee stock programs usually give you a good enough discount worth waiting to begin with? How does that work? You're gonna have to ask them. Some offer discounts, others just have commission free purchases. > 3. Would it be insider trading if I buy stocks for the company I work at? I'm just an individual contributor- nothing special. I know a fair amount more than I should just because I guess I'm the type of person people just blabber on to without realizing what they're telling me. This can be a grey area, but there are ways to get around it. If you have a set amount that comes out of every paycheck then you're generally safe. Other than that it's insider trading if you decide to purchase shares because of a piece of information that you have seen that the general public hasn't. Typically large companies have black out periods when their employees can't purchase or sell their stocks.
Other than that, how large is the company? Is it even publicly traded (this would negate the insider trading issue completely.)? Do the employees have a chance of buying a large (2%+) amount of the shares? If so, is the company desperate for money?
Adam Turner
Can someone explain to me why I shouldn't by tvix if I think mexican tariffs WILL happen on monday?
Christian Martinez
It’s not too late to get in on VRUS.
Cameron Sanders
5% tariffs mostly priced in.
Nicholas Lee
I'm not going to... because I clearly don't know what I'm doing, and that is reason enough
Alexander Price
short indexes should outperform long vol imo
Easton Richardson
>Other than that, how large is the company? Fucking huge. I think we're #1 in our industry by a LOT. It is publicly traded. I'm not sure if employees have a chance of buying that much of the shares and I actually haven't asked anyone in my department if they own any shares to begin with. The company is not desperate for money and is one of those constantly doing well companies but we're about to announce something not this quarter but next that's really going to skyrocket things I think.
Easton Allen
Based $VRUS shill.
We closing at $0.02.
Sebastian Wright
You aren't going to be playing with enough money for anyone to bother with an insider trading investigation.
Bentley Smith
You think so? sounds like people doubt tariffman will go through with it
Hudson Jackson
Thank you for this. I think I might just be a paranoid person. I know I can make a good bit of profit with this but I'm just like "Wait, am I ALLOWED to do this?" It's weird being able to see things from the other side, you know?
Chase Edwards
>$VIX green, TVIX red How?
Matthew Cox
I think that at least 50% of participants expect it, it shouldn't have a big impact either way, unless there are indications he would proceed with 10+% tariffs
You're insane if you think tariffs are priced in with this bull run.
Nathan Campbell
LCI why? You were on the up and up! Literally nothing bad going on! Only good things! Why do you drop so!?
Cameron Bailey
Hes right when he said they're priced in and another thing is there's a higher chance that it won't happen and we'll jump 3 points over something we already knew. Welcome to the stock market in 2016+3
Kevin Murphy
My goal is to understand this chart by tomorrow. Cuz I don't know what in the heck happening...
FFFFFFFfffffff We're still not overbought enough for me to be holding sqqq
God damn it i am retard
I guess I should sell... If we get beared down on monday I will probably anhero
go back to buying companies I like when they get soldoff. God damn it Tim Apple I should have bought every dip.
I just had a buy signal on QQQ on my proprietary indictor a few days ago. last time it was a buy like this was 27 december. you're just gambling with odds against you.
Luis Allen
Why should the market go up though? It defies all logic.
China tariffs and Mexico tariffs. Bonds mooning. Employment growth stalling. $4.5T in corporate junk debt. Global farm failures.
I lost 8K on sqqqq. Thankfully i'm up 4k today due the generosity of the golden bull.
Xavier Gray
>proprietary indicator Wha?
>kicking me when I'm down hey... Its just complicated because I had it on both accounts as well as some sds and sdow. But your perspective is useful, as it wasn't a HUGE portion of my portfolio, and it's not like it completely crashed. Though for a holding to drop 6%... pretty bad when I'm already down
Isaiah Lee
Idk either. Bought some Intel on the dip Wednesday for a long term hold but I've got 13k sitting in cash and money markets because I'm feeling shook from all the optimism.
Christian Perez
I sold... it's over... I feel great shame
Need to learn. Easy to kick myself, hard to figure out why the right moves went well, and the wrong moves went so poorly.
May have something to do with influence of smg traders
Robert Anderson
i've given up on trying to apply logic to this system
Oliver Russell
Like all of its cousins, TVIX price is based on VIX futures, not spot VIX.
it's all part of the process. you don't really learn much until you've suffered.
Nathan Wilson
you dont want to lose more than 1-2% of your entire capital on a single trade. that's when you cut your loss.
Jayden Anderson
Galt to zero on Monday
Brandon Moore
>BYND UP 45%
I only put 15K in, should have FOMO'd 100%
William Martin
50% jesus fuck what is happening
Chase Jenkins
short squeeze
Jordan Anderson
>Bynd Now I know why people pray to wrathful, angry Gods.
Aiden Reyes
because relief rallies have literally happened every recession in the last 100 years in fact if you looked at the SPY one year chart you would know one was probably coming
Jayden Reed
yea, I estimate 1.5% so... pretty fucking humbling, but not as bad as lptx, gdot, or vstm
Lessons learned, not well enough
Jonathan Gonzalez
What are our weekend hodl boys?
Aaron Reyes
BYND to the fucking moon
Jonathan Taylor
often times it's because people don't have a choice. people see 10yr bond prices paying 2% and they figure inflation will eat that, so they buy risk assets for protection, as odd as that sounds. when you have big dick money you can't just dump it in the bank, only a small amount is FDIC insured.
