Brody Johnson
Yeah I didn't want to derail the thread into Jow Forumsshit But that is what I have heard Also, it seems mudslimes want to shit up your Congress
I give it 15 years before the USA is done for
Zachary Lewis
It's nice and comfy, the only problem is there's not a lot of cool ass stores and the firing ranges are full of fudds, gotta know someone that has private land if you wanna have fun.
David Gomez
They don't come this far north, we have some Muslims here but they're nice people. They're not on a rampage trying to turn this place into a Sharia hellhole and they're well mannered. My biggest problem is the absurd 11% sales tax and living expenses. Makes it had to do any business up here and it's squeezing the life out of entrepreneurship.
Asher Phillips
I am from France and let me tell you about those "nice" muslims I don't deny they are mostly nice people But in then end, they are here to take your place and live according their culture
One little step at a time m8
But in the end, don't think of it too much and get rich so you are free to flee whatever shithole you happen to be in
I see comfy chickened out from puts on WFC. :( he doesn't like the TA or fundys
Brandon Thomas
Yea I saw some footage of a trucker in Calais, not good. I'm well armed though, nobody is going to mess with me. I'll trade in peace until I make it and probably move to either Montana or Tennessee.
Oliver Morris
I am not talking about those ragtag "refugees" Those are obviously the problem
But the biggest, the most essential problem is those "nice" and integrated muslims who may look so polite and all and all...
Bah, whatever
William Carter
just say you're poor like us here in Spain and they'll flee to somewhere nicer in Europe. Not that hard.
Jack Wood
anyone have HMNY?
Sell or Hold?
Christopher Johnson
Banks going down today again? Isn't that really bad considering the earning reports?
Thomas Torres
It is not really the earnings but the fishiness of their balance sheets
Fishy balance sheets as user mentioned,earnings really not stellar when tax rebate is accounted for, slowing of growth of new loans & deposits (BAC at least), auto, student, CRE defaults nearing ATHs. The greedy fucks are still subprime loaning.
No indication of a trend reversal as well, Wells Fargo is barely hanging onto monthly Ichimoku support. That is a long term trend, Ichimoku uses 9,26,52 periods, and I didn't change them when I checked monthly candles. From what I noticed, the only time it broke support was 08 recession in which it traded in cloud, and 09 when it broke well beneath.
Hunter Watson
Wait we're long GE now? What about what happened back in November?
>slowing of growth of new loans & deposits (BAC at least), auto, student, CRE defaults nearing ATHs. >The greedy fucks are still subprime loaning.
okay hold on, so do you want them to increase their lending by giving to more (riskier) borrowers? or do you want them to be more conservative with their lending and slow it down?
you contradict yourself and apparently there is no way for the banks to win on lending in your eyes... despite the fact that the banks are growing faster than GDP and are literally posting record profits
Asher Jenkins
What are we all buying today? I’ve got 500 to throw around
Brody Wilson
I think I'm gonna play earnings on TEAM, does this sound like a dumb idea? 60 4/20 calls, exp tomorrow
Levi Williams
Jeez dude, you should have given yourself more time on those options, what's the theta on those?
Matthew Ramirez
bought 2 jnj medium call options for $130 on 129.48. Bought a few more $130 calls at 127.
Have a good 7% of my portfolio on jnj options and I can't quite figure out why it even went down. The main thing I found was zytiga patent expiring but that won't be an issue for a while.
Am I going full retard or something.
Landon Cooper
can I get a quick rundown on trading for dividends?
Owen Cruz
you dont trade for dividends you hold for dividends
Jaxon Kelly
Earnings are released tonight, not gonna hold later than tomorrow anyway
You'll still have to deal with the decay, it increases the closer you get to expiry. Should have gotten ones for next week for more gain. It might work but you're on knifes edge at this point.
Ryder Hill
I don't want them to do anything in particular. The slowing of growth is a FACT, my opinion that they are greedy fucks is an opinion. No contradiction there.
Yield curve is flattening as well.
Nolan Brown
Any recommendations on a free realtime paper-trading platform? Or do those not exist? I'll probably eventually open an IB account but I don't want to have to deposit $10k just to start practicing.
Levi Taylor
I'm pretty sure you can paper trade on IB, check into it.
Aaron Brown
I think trading view is on one minute delay. If you're practicing intraday trading strategies, while not optimal, you'll be fine if you trade off 5 15 1hr candles. If you're swing trading then you really don't need real time data.
Please do post here if you find a free real time paper trader, I'm sure many folks would be interested and it can be added to OP.
Anyways, I was looking into emerging market debt. I found a closed-end fund yielding 14% and it's price has been pretty steady over the last 5 years. Since everything else I have is so shitty and US stocks are so spendy right now I want to park my cash somewhere else.
The fund is primarily South American gov't + corporate debt, Africa and some middle east and other shitholes like Ukraine thrown in. It's actively managed and they seem to be doing something right. It's heavy in oil-producing countries and oil prices are going up, so I was thinking....
Just not sure.
Brandon Allen
>the feel when SPY open below your limit, it buys anyways, and already down $1.50 before day even start
Seems like chip stocks are going to reverse and bring everyone else today thanks to Lam. There was also some report talking about global smartphone sales are already peaked, thats probably hurting apple too.
Adam Nelson
RIP semiconductors sector. Some are down 9% already.
Cooper Wood
EDF and EDI. Similar funds from the same company that specializes in debt like this.
I'm fairly optimistic about the shithole countries it's invested in and it pays dividends every month.
fuck that, i just find the big dividend payers and wait for big dips, i trade the people that chase dividends, they run it up, ill sell that shit without getting a dividend desu
Brody Cooper
Thanks user, I'll look into that
Sebastian Kelly
Pulled the trigger on GE today. I think it might have bottomed out and nothing but shorts with wobbly re-hashed thesis talking about it anymore, so it must be time to buy. Also earnings report tomorrow.
-Hoping they split off the divisions so I get free shares. -Warren Buffet buys into it, hopefully without rape-tastic terms. -They sell a lot of wind turbines with the high energy prices coming up. -They sell a lot of steam turbines in 3rd world shitholes other firms don't deal with.
Adam Thomas
Just when i thought we made it past the trade war bullshit, they sting us in the tail with ZTE ban
BAC WFC 1D trend still bearish, no indicator of reversal. 4HR Trend HA indications of trend reversal showing, but overall is remaining in a bearish trend. 1min, 5min, 15min are indicating overbought, with strong signs of upward trend reversal.
