You think it's worth buying some Disney stock? Their streaming service could be a Netflix killer.

Question of the week

Day/swing trading, how viable is it in replacing having to get a job if I have 30k to use?

>he didnt buy DIS 2 years ago
why?

Assume I need to average $1,250 a month to stay a neet.

Just get a jobbo dude
How old are you/what can you do/ what friends or family do you know who would recommend you for a job?

buy high div stocks, especially etfs, make sure their payout ratio isnt that high, low p/e is usually pretty important, too, and if you can average 10% div yield per year, thats $3000 per year. though 10% div yields can be fairly unsecure. just summon divfren and he can help you

Get
A
Jobbity

You too ;)

Imagine working 40 hour weeks to find a 35% yearly return for a paltry 12k per year

Very viable, and 30k is a great starting point.

Continue to work at your day job and create a trading strategy that does not require much maintenance, in other words, find a profitable swing trading strategy and adjust it to your needs. The key to your strategy NEEDS to be appropriate risk management parameters, since you'll most likely be at work, as it is very important that your parameters work for YOU without constant change.

Once you have earned enough money collectively through swing trading and work, create a 6 month emergency fund for ALL needs, and begin to learn day trading skill-sets through your existing knowledge of swing trading.

Remember, set aside 25% of your profits into dividend stocks, ETFs, etc -- just like

Let me know if you have anymore questions, godspeed user.

also this dont jump in with all $30k at once if you have no experience. you'll jump at the highest div and get fucked like i did with UNIT and CTL

>Continue to work at your day job
dude said himsefl he's a NEET. i think we have to take care with the advice we give him. id say bump up the divs to at least 50%, i feel like day trading is way more risky if you know what to look for in div stocks

Do you like dicks?

if you buy a call, 100 is a maximum and not the amount you're required to buy, right? obviously it's pretty wasteful not to exercise the enitre option, but i dont have a few k to drop at any given time

All 100 or nothing senpai

I liked it but you should watch it for entertainment and not for any informative value.

it was good, but this also you should listen to metal like whats-his-name, its the only way to profit

thanks. i just read an alternative is selling the option, how is the price of an option calculated vs its current profitabiility, assuming its currently profitable?

I don't think it will kill Netflix. Just as I don't think T or Comcast will either. However what it will do is provide all these companies (T/DIS/Comcast) with assloads of more Profit. (and shareholders w/more Profit).

Will also hasten the decline of Disc media. After all why bother churning out disc when you can just put it on your platform and save the cost of paying some company to create said disc? Also force people to use the service to watch "whatever new film comes out"

i dont think kiddie shows will really bring netflix down

Yep, you control those 100 shares so the move is to just sell the contract, if you're long, at some point before expiration.

>35% on 40k really no that hard if you grinding everyday
if you legit thinks this you should just make your own fund and become a multimillionaire

The price of an option is just whatever someone will pay or demand to buy/sell the contract from/to you
You can use black-scholes to find out what your option parameters are from a given price. Or you can decide yourself what the option parameters should be and then decide what the fair price should be (from your opinion, depending on your parameters)
The market may not agree with your projected option price...! ;)

so i can list an option i bought for $100000000000000000, and its up to someone else to be willing to pay for that?

kek
it become WAYYYY harder for make money the more money you have >_>
making 35% on 100k whole different story

and 35% on million something only super god tier trader can do X_X

I make shit now as it is and I get by pretty good. I go year after year on a shitty 27k yearly salary. This is before my 401k and other deductions get taken out. So I figure if I can churn out that much one day from my T babies I'll be ok.

Realized I didn't answer the question completely, but I'm a brainlet when it comes to the math of options so better off listening to this user.I went to school for finance and remember like 2% of the math and stat components, kek.

Every job I've had has become progessively worse than the job prior to it. At this point I don't want to wagecuck anymore + my business degree seems utterly useless. I'm a bit good with pc's and even applied for some part-time helpdesk job but most of the jargon in the job description made no sense so I doubt I'll get it even though the work is likely easy stuff that I can do. I could try getting a job at Amazon with my useless degree but those long hours look very untantalizing even with the high pay.

Thank you I've already realized not to go all in at once due to price changes over tine. I've done a bit of research and one of my two picks for long term dividend holds has borne good resilence, very stable even after yesterday. The other is doing alright but it was moreso chosen for diversification.

Thank you.

I don't have a job at the moment. However I am indeed looking for a strategy that works in my favor. I'll likely begin with swing trading as I'd rather not risk getting blocked for 90 days due passing the day trade limit.

I'm already in a few dividend stocks that I personally researched, heavily. One is extremely stable even after what happened yesterday, the other is a bit more flimsy but I have no intent of selling it as it's a long term hold. I might be a neet but I live at my parents home. Nonetheless, thank you.

also i should mention im using robinhood, i see plenty of options for between 3 and 5 dollars. these dont even seem unreasonable in their price movement exceeding the options, so how do they plan to profit on selling the options with 3 and/or 5 dollars? specifically AMD if you want to take a look for yourself at whats being sold

Is this because it's harder to get in and out of a stock with a good price when you're moving that much money around?

m1 vs vanguard?

Attached: YaZejVL.jpg (1080x1750, 134K)

personally, i really like HNDL. theyre 15% of my portfolio currently. if y'all niggas got a problem with that, please tell me, id love to know why

also im dum, pls help

I got a problem with it. The ticker is horrible and they should have chosen a better one

i use m1, never used vanguard.
with m1 there are no commission fees and you can buy fractional shares (and receive fractional dividends). the pie feature may be nice depending on what you want to do.
there are limited trading features and they only execute trades once a trading day during a time window (not instantly).

so tldr: m1 is only good for long term investing

can i DRiP with m1?

what exactly is the question? lower dollars or yuan make your exports more competitive. other countries can buy more of your goods for less of their money. but there is always a flipside, with a weak dollar it makes imports more expensive.

not exactly, they have an auto invest feature whenever you have over 10 bucks in your account but it allocates it to the lowest % holdings in your pie, which may not be ideal in some cases.

kinda yes
atleast prices in daytrade time frame that forsure

but really there many reasons

it really complex you have google this answer
but there criteria for "lower currency value = good for country" and USA not meet those criteria

but in general sense stocks benefit from weak dollar because they go up in price because weak dollar not mean weaker value

are there no trading fees on roth iras? i was close as fuck to signing onto vanguard, since their etfs seem to be top dog (their own etfs being fee-free, while evrything else is relatively expensive.

sounds pretty shitty long-term

i dont have a roth ira right now but i believe there are no fees for that as well

i guess my question is: devaluing your own currency seems to fuck the majority of your own citizens, i can see how it would benefit business owners that are in debt(i think, this is a tenuous grasp on the concept), but how does it protect the country against tariffs, and when would it be beneficial for the federal reserve to follow suit?

i feel like is the answer, but a brief rundown could do wonders for my understanidng going into some intense research if thats whats necessary

Me

a lower yuan protects against american tariffs because if you charge a 10% tariff on Chinese exports to your country. the goal is to either collect that 10% or reduce the imports. but a equal loss of the value of the yuan, 10%. essentially makes the tariffs useless. you're tacking on 10% to the cost, but the cost is now 10% less. so if your economy is export driven, a cheaper currency equates to your exports being more competitive.

Yes
Same with stocks. You can place an order in the order book for whatever price your broker will allow. Then that order will fill if someone else already has a corresponding buy/sell order at that price (partial filling possible depending on order size).
If the price is too high/low, the order won't fill. It will just sit there and wait, and you'll still be holding your money (or shares or contracts)

so essentially theyre fucking themselves up(at least anyone with money), people in debt in their country get an incidental benefit. the last part i dont understand, if the currency is worth less, wont they just charge more, or does it not matter because anyone dealing within their own country now doesnt need to add that additional cost to make up for the weak yuan because everything has shifted to that value? seems almost like voodoo economics, though i could see it working short-term

Last night in a press conference, Abe negatively response to question the possibility of resolving the current Japan-Korean dispute through meeting between head of the two countries, said it would be nice if Korea can keep promises including the treaty about WWII compensation

ok whats the best way to drip?

Based Abe-san going full imperialistic.

it doesn't matter as much to china because their economy is not as reliant on imports. cheaper yuan means their exports are more competitive against other countries.

Guys....... I think it's almost time to start buying F

I get that the stock sucks.. buuuuttt.. if you buy enough shares to sell covered calls you can sell the weeklys.. it also has a pretty good dividend..... it would be a dollar cost average type trade..

Alright. What you are seeing as the option price is just the quote price.
The quote price does not necessarily mean that you can buy or sell the contracts at that price, usually you cannot. You need to look at the detailed option information. On PC, just click. On phone, there will be a button that looks like a graph that will bring up a screen that shows bid and ask prices, like pic related.
Now due to some price-update shenanigans, the numbers you see here won't always be perfectly accurate depending on the stock. You could try and sell this call for 0.60 and not have it fill, that's just how Robinhood works sometimes.
But usually what is shown in this screen is somewhat accurate. Meaning if you try and buy the call for 0.80 it should fill, and between 0.60 and 0.80 it might fill (especially if you are patient and the stock price doesn't move up)

According to my handy T Baby spreedsheet all I need is 250 T babies and Drip to get over 27k by age 65. I have 196 now, by eoy I'll have 200 (maybe more, depends on share price)

I used an inflated share price in my calculations as well as kept the Divy the same amount

So 50 more T babies @ 34 per would be $1700.
Hey, look at that, why it's Tax Refund time coming in Feb of 2020. Nice lump sum just begging to be put to good use. Plus it ain't like I need it now for anything.

While I know the Divvy will only go up and share price will move up/down I figured it was better to over do it than end up coming short.

Are people really going to subscribe to a bunch of $8-12 a month streaming services just to have easy access to a bigger slice of the media pie? That's an assload of money a year. I have a little trouble believing this. Idk about y'all but I'm going to start educating my friends and family about VPN's and piracy like the good old days.

Not like some of the friends I have particularly like globohomo "entertainment," but piracy makes acquiring old movies/music easier.

Consider: people blow $5 daily for Starbucks coffee. V.S making it at home cheaper.

>Buying coffee

Never gonna make it. Cultivate willpower: it's free.

jesus christ, when deltas and gammas come into play, you know its gonna be a shitshow to understand(im still trying to figure out radioactivity in relation to those). are the bids and ask related to volume? like you can buy a an option with less than 100 volume, at whatever price per volume?

you might be better off linking me to a source to cover this

I know. Just pointing out that people will fork out for the Streaming services. just like they fork out that $5 for 7 days in a row for Coffee.

>so essentially theyre fucking themselves up(at least anyone with money),
Except they don't really care how much their citizens lost.
>wont they just charge more, or does it not matter because anyone dealing within their own country now doesnt need to add that additional cost to make up for the weak yuan because everything has shifted to that value?
Shifted in value. 1 Yuan is still 1 Yuan so things stay the same in the domestic market, if a worker getting paid 3000 Yuan a month he will still receive 3000 Yuan a month, but that cost might worth only 300 USD instead of 400 USD from the point of view of foreign buyers

im doing this already on my meme account

Attached: Screenshot_20190806-205652.jpg (1440x1151, 147K)

The Streaming services end up being cheaper to boot than the Coffee.

Assuming 3 services all cost 12 per. $35 a month for all 3. V.S the $36 a week the Coffee costs you.

thanks. between the two of you, i think i grasp the concept enough to understand. and in the same vein, if the federal reserve wants to fuck me in the global market, they will if it suits them, with no warning

Just Google into to options
There is no such thing as delta radiation in the modern science. That is sort of an obsolete terminology.
But if you have any questions about radiation just ask, my degree and my current job are centered on making radiation (different types)

You should know that bid indicates the highest price seen in the order book that some one is offering to buy a stock for, and ask is the lowest price in the book that someone is currently trying to sell the stock (or option) for

Orange juice futures pumping and guess what I have in my fridge I'm gonna make it boys

I was talking to my dad about the future streaming nonsense and he had some funny thoughts. He thinks a company will come along and bundle all of the different Stream services together for one price. The services will do it if their volume is low due to the fucking 7 or whatever competing companies. It will almost be like a giant cable company once again with different channels.

Though I agree that people should stop blowing money on Netflix I think this train will never end. People are always going to be spending money on cable or streaming or whatever fucking retarded media comes next

Id imagine going with someone else. though broker fees can add up depending on how much you invest per trade, so investments in the thousands per trade you're better off with vangaurd, investments of less than a thousand, you're probably better off with m1.

ive exposed my own naivety in this thread, so if I'm wrong at least i serve as a foil to someone with better understandign than i. but thats pretty much why ive been holding off from starting a roth with vangaurd

Store that bottle for 25 years and you'll have it made in the shade.

People usually would only subscribe to one? Unless each of them have many different exclusive titles

disney+ will carry all episodes of the simpsons is there any other platform that does this? buy $dis people

>in the same vein, if the federal reserve wants to fuck me in the global market, they will if it suits them
This is not true. The Federal reserve, under the chairman Jerome Powell, is very open and straightforward about taking actions to fulfill their mandate. Their mandate is 2% inflation (symmetrical) and low unemployment.
The Federal reserve and its local branches are constantly communicating with the public about what outlook they have and what actions they will take.

is it true that the radiation from 5g is benign as fuck, and cant even pass the skin barrier? if thats true, is skin at risk?

i ask because im a longshoreman, and automation is a threat to my livelihood, and 5g is a large stake in automation, and my union brothers insist its terrible. and while automation will inevitably be terrible for the economy, im not convinced 5g is part of the problem. at the same time, i dont want to detract from anything that would combat automation, while not spreading bullshit myself.

Except starbucks coffee is literally two dollars & change, if that really affects your bottom line then you are literally poverty-tier

The best time to buy $2.50 of DRiP dividend stock was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

The fuck house you buy with 1800 downpayment?

No one in the general radiation practice can answer that, even specialists can only give you a hypothesis. If there was a significant set of experimental data over many decades that question could be answered formally, but there isn't.
I lean towards "it's definitely possible".

Two things about radiation to know:
It is commonly considered in "ionizing" and "non-ionizing" types. 5g and wifi are non-ionizing, meaning they can't impart enough energy to mess with orbital electrons in a steady-state atom orbital. So in most cases it is considered to not be harmful to biology. But there are other biological effects it could have.

Second thing to know is that energy or electric field will fall off exponentially as distance decreases. So for something like a cell phone tower or other radiation source, as long as you live further from it than your neighbors, they'll be effected first (if there is any effect)

If the zoomer wants to exaggerate the price of coffee to believe he can buy a house by pinching pennies on said coffee, let him

>is it true that the radiation from 5g is benign as fuck, and cant even pass the skin barrier? if thats true, is skin at risk?
What I can tell you is that, because of 5G mmwave's low penetration power, Qualcomm recommend any 5G phone that support mmwave to have FOUR 5G antenna in different part of the phone, so that no matter how you hold the phone, some antenna can still get those 5G signals

Also, you don’t actually need to “kill Netflix” to be a Netflix killer. Most analysts think consumers will be paying for multiple services.

If Disney offers a superior product that shows Netflix-like growth... it’s going upupup!

It’s just that right now, Netflix defined the market and they’re the one to “beat”

You millennials just can’t save money and you expect everything to be handed to you. Get a job! Then buy some bootstraps. And pull yourself up!

so the ionizing part is important, and thats most of what im come to understand. the proximity part is where the biggest problem lies, for automation, that shit will be all around the workplace. overall, it sounds relatively harmless compared to the air quality of the ports, but still seems kind of fucked to roll out without the necessary testing. unfortunatley ive come to terms with my unions members being absolute dipshits in most cases, so i almost feel a compulsion to oppose their scientific opinions

that's also a good point

Is there a long wait before money from your bank shows up in TD Ameritrade/tos?

for me it was like a couple business days before it showed up.
BUT they made me wait like a week total before they would let me buy OTC stocks. So there are different rules for buying OTC stocks and certain options vs. ETFs or normal low-volatility stocks. To trade OTC stocks you have to wait extra time for the funds to fully settle

Well at least I can use the charts for RH trades for now. Thanks breh
