man if only there was a market that was open 24/7 365 days a year

yeah, like some kind of cryptographic ponzi currency market.... If there only was something like that.

cryptos are stable and I'm too much of a pussy to trade forex.

Hey duders
Stock market newfag here
I have no clue what to invest in - got any general tips?

yeah because sleep and days off both suck am I rite

smart boring answer: go for a low expense ratio index etf like VTI or SPY, keep adding to it

the people pushing garbage meme stinks will be along soon. don't let your meme portfolio represent more than 10% of your net worth

Digibyte, my n-word.

Invest 50-70% in SPY and other funds that follow the general market. Don’t look at that money until you’re ready to retire or are reinvesting into said funds. Put everything else into whatever interests you/makes you comfortable, as you’ll get a million different answers from a million different people on what is the best investment outside of those, do your own research

Just buy MSFT and forget about it for a year.

What's your expected gain on it?

Yeah I get you, but which one? There are literally hundreds out there

I guess that works with all blue Chip stocks or does msft have smth special?

>I guess that works with all blue Chip stocks or does msft have smth special?
Pretty much, I just like MSFT and have a lot of faith in them.

SPY

If you want to trade, use a small bankroll at first

Good insight, user, thanks!
I have approximately no experience in trading, so I will not get into it... Don't have the time right now to learn2trade
I am looking for a long term investment - I guess I will look into ETFs as you suggested

How's bynd doing?

Hasn't moved all day

Let's talk about Forex?

Crypto for adults

What are some forex investment tools available other than directly buying those currencies?

Forex is doing nothing these days

Show bellybutton then go to bed

there were rumours even ecb trying to push euro higher cause lots of dollar debts that will bankrupt europe like south america. if germans auto economy falls entire eu economy collapses. currently it is long term dollar bull but euro has short buying stints on the way down. eventually euro zone will likely break up and italy and spain have own currencies or then dual currency versio of euro to help exports. only country euro too weak is germany others now it's way too strong for their economies to be healthy especially italy france and spain

spy will climb higher as interest rates are now locked to record lows like japan 30 year 0% rates but still buying more at ath is bad

bitcorn harder to trade nowadays as all exhances have like 3% of volume at max so the whole thing gets really mixed and nobody knows who is buying or selling at each time

It's so weird watching the European economy sort of collapse in slow motion.
I'm American but I work for a company HQ'd in Europe (and traded only on Euronext exchange).
My job should be safe even if my company falls apart ;)

It does feel like a huge amount of their exports are cars and planes (and some boats), and a big share of the rest of their economy is just supplying those industries.

WHEAT IS FOR QUEERS. INVEST IN FRUCTOSE.

Attached: jimmy.jpg (480x360, 20K)

yes and it's not that you necessarily need exports but traditionally europe especially core (german speaking middle) is export model and if that starts to get sluggish it takes down other weaker european economies in same currency. ecb did a mistake allowing rates this low and cant get them up anymore probably ever with these standing debts and one currency same with japan. also both europe and japan suffers democraphy issue as population is aging fast unlike america

I think DBA is all of agriculture, not just wheat.

we both know thats not how this works...

I always assumed that the EU age distributions would match the US. I just looked it up, you are correct, there is a much larger imbalance for Europe.
I wonder how the boomers act/are perceived in the EU compared to the American boomers.
Those demographics suuucckkk for Europe, they really do have a lot of problems to deal with all at the same time.
I don't think they have it in them to have another war like they used to. Maybe the next few decades in Europe will be like the last decade in Spain. Not much working, not much spending, people just kind of there, surviving.
is anyone else playing TFT? I'm winning like 70% of my games and I'm already getting burned out on it...

>I wonder how the boomers act/are perceived in the EU compared to the American boomers.
See Brexit

the boomers voted for Brexit?
I don't know the specifics of how it broke down based on age.

basically what I'm asking is, how much of the old people's retirements in Europe are based on equity prices? Or is it all government assistance above a certain age?
There is plenty of talk in the US about the future of social security here, how it will be funded, etc. I'm not familiar with what the corresponding EU situation is. Is it all per-country, or is there some EU component of welfare for the elderly?
I'm completely ignorant. America's impending boomer retirement/old-age crisis is enough to worry about, but our demographics aren't as messy as the EU age bubble

>WHEAT IS FOR QUEERS
You do realize how many queers there are in todays world right?

Attached: 1556689970560.jpg (750x1662, 239K)

why would you ever think EU age distribution is similar to USA's?

USA hasnt dipped below replacement rate yet, i think most of the EU dipped under it in the fucking 80's

pic related, EU looks quite similar to Japan (2025), without the extra bump in the 70's age group (EU is fattest in the 50's and 60's age group)

>Maybe the next few decades in Europe will be like the last decade in Spain. Not much working, not much spending, people just kind of there, surviving.
EU has been looking like that since 2008, the continent hasnt truly "recovered" from the recession, they have just been kind of sideways since

>the boomers voted for Brexit?
old english people (as in older people south of york) are basically the only demographic that was more in favor of brexit than against

remain won with basically every other demographic: people under 60, people from scotland, NI, whales, people from London (which is majority foreign born) ectera all voted to remain

the people who wanted leave most are the same people who wont actually live to see a full Leave happen (lmao)

and of course UK population made the biggest mistake they could: they trusted UK politicians to negotiate the specifics of brexit

>and of course UK population made the biggest mistake they could: they trusted UK politicians to negotiate the specifics of brexit
It is physically impossible for them to negotiate a Brexit that would have no border between Northern Ireland, Ireland, England while still allowing Britain to have its own custom policy different from the EU. Hard Brexit is the only way, regardless of who's in charge to negotiate that, unless they can allow a border to be setup along any of those aforementioned locations

yeah, i noticed that from the begininning they have done nothing besides weasel around that issue, because UK thinks they are still important player on the world stage

they shot themselves in the foot again again when they started to exit EU without any deal in place first. EU can literally just sit there and do nothing. there is no onus on the EU to make a deal, and no incentive to make a deal either (the small pennies they gain from frictionless trade is nothing compared to the tariff money EU could make from UK outside the single market)

the UK has no cards to play, its why Cameron said fuck this shit as soon as the brexit results came in

yes usa have had plenty of immigrants (mostly from europe after ww2) that has tripled the popluation from 130m since ww2 to over 3m. casualties in war for americans were actually quite high, same rates as with nazis neighbors france and Uk. 400k deaths for 130m popluation, france 200k deaths for 40m population in ww2. so the baby boom been quite similar in usa and europe. germany population during ww2 70m, uk and france 40m

It's not necessarily that there are more queers, just that the existing queers are getting more attention on a societal level

nah there definitely weren't as many queers running around even 10 years ago
they're on an exponential increase right now, every day goes by you hear about some person deciding they're gay or a woman or some kind of woman-gay hybrid creature.

now for most of you zoomers that's ""normal"" because you're all super gay and you never got to live in a sane world. but if you're old enough you'll remember a happy and peaceful time when there weren't fags crawling through our cities in broad daylight.

Aaaaaand here's why you should buy the FUCK out of the FUD in MO.

Punch, meet counter-punch

Look into endocrine disruptors. Phthalates, Bisphenols, all these plasticizers we now have infiltrating the global water supply as micro and nano plastics, that are feminizing fetuses before they're even born.

People always attribute massive changes to social movements, when hormones need to be looked at. For example, those who claim feminism was responsible for women in the work force, when it could easily be attributed to the advent of hormonal birth control.

vaping degenerate here: margin probably isn't great on the battery powered devices if they include li-on batteries. Good margin is batteries not included. Margin on e-juice is MASSIVE. E-juice contains a combination of the following things: vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, liquid nicotine, and various flavorings. The only part of it that is remotely expensive is the liquid nicotine, and it's not especially expensive if you're doing your extraction in house or buying in bulk.

Buy why tho?

where does the liquid nicotine come from? because if its from tobacco it kind of seems like extra cost added into the final product there, although liquid is easier to transport than huge bundles of plant leafs, and logistically that can save cash...

>Vuse
You're just biased towards BTI.
If there's a substantial advance in tech, Altria will pivot. They already have a foothold in the industry with Juul, they have less risk by not outright buying the company.

I do have a friend who uses a nic salt system that seems to be pretty cool though. Very intense hits.

(Maybe like Tyson selling off their Beyond Meat so they could leapfrog with their own shit. No idea if that will work out, they went in a weird direction with the "part-meat" products.)

Have any of you guys got involved in foreign stocks. If so what markets seem ripe for expansion?

>where does the liquid nicotine come from?

It's extracted from the tobacco plant. Lately some liquids have been made with nicotine salts, which appear to have a greater concentration in a smaller base product size. I don't know if nicotine salt is cheaper overall than liquid variety.
