/smg/ - Stock Market General

man the DOWs gonna probably drag oil down for a bit. at least my corn is growing again finally. i knew it wasnt time for a crash just yet

Is there a measurement for sectors/the stock market of when competition peaks vs stability? Like when companies swing in market share relative to one another more or less over time?

So stay out of equities? Should I make adjustments to go short equities and long volatility?

Don't take advice that seriously from randoms. I'm posting to post, not to drop expert knowledge.

Where's the upside on this business? The product is absolute dogshit and the company seems completely directionless. Yes the stock is outrageously cheap, but it seems to be that way for a reason

Tesla is about to moon back to 350+. The deluge of bad news and failures is clearing up and the hype train will pick back up on high consumer demand and brand value

Roll a D20, on natural 20 gain 1000%

Any of you clowns buying JCP today?

They're playing for a short squeeze, it's only half retarded

WHAT WE BUYIN?!?!?!@

I'm out for a small profit, no more for me

Remember that I am a Zero Hedge reading retard
I am only summarizing the conclusion of some article I read over the weekend
The equity selloff during the FED shitpost is mainly about technicalities (hedge funds' short postions and potential margin calls)

Web Bull just launched their version of commission free trading phone app, going to give it a look. Looks better than RH obviously from a chart and info perspective.

Yep, real advice wouldn't be from posts. It would be by seeing someone's portfolio.

I'm overweight AMD, nothing else interests me much in this market.

Dow is showing strength, looks like we're in for a retracement. Watch out for the fed at 2pm eastern time though

What a garbage ass open

Can a dummy first timer with no prior experience play around in the stock market without losing their pennies instantly to either bad choices and/or greedy brokers?

I did 14 years in the Home Theater industry. Was Sony Tatsu-Jin (master certified), certified television repair, certified master remote installer for URC, and a host of other stuff I can’t remember.
The entire industry is a sham. It’s gonna fall hard in the coming decades.
In the 80s and 90s the built an industry that was unsustainable in hard times. In other words it required people to have the disposable income and the time off of work to enjoy. 500 channels is a good investment only if you have the time to watch it. People are quickly realizing this and dumping them for streaming, which is just cheaper and more convenient.
The equipment cost isn’t justifiable at that point either. Very few people set aside an entire room of thier house anymore or spend thousands of dollars to watch TV.
As far as the installer the most profitable part was the labor. At the time it would take several pieces of equipment and untold amounts of wire to set up a good home theater. Hundreds of hours of labor were spent. Now a smart phone with a good pair of headphones can do the same.
Manufacturers have hit a wall when it comes to innovation. They’re reinventing the wheel at this point. Especially since the early 2000s. Look at the failed 3D push in the early 2010s as an example.
For the networks and providers it’s a demographic issue. They’re completely out of touch with the reality of who watches TV now. When TV hit it big half the household still stayed at home. Now both work. The only people staying at home are NEETS who would rather stream, boomers who can’t use technology anyway, or Bix Noods who can’t afford cable. I’ve seen many good technologies on the providers side fail because they were geared toward the middle class and up who just don’t watch TV that much.

Nope oil is down again today. Shit market

Stock market rewards long-term low skill as compared to other places to invest.

It's day 2 of the defense dip. I loaded up on RTN yesterday and was already long HII. Now I'm figuring out what I should sell in order to put $1200 into LMT calls.

I'm going LMT because NOC options have really high premiums for some reason, and GD didn't dip enough, and BA has that side business that bothers me

The easier version of this play, though, is to just buy DFEN. But I want more leverage than that will give me

Everyone who is capable of posting on Jow Forums already knows that cable/satellite is doomed.

covered my TTWO short at 111.50
feels so good to be right again
it will probably go lower but i dont care
also buy GE

What do you see in GE?

Seems like a garbage stock to me.

This is why I'm not going in on DIS. Like 30% of their revenue is ESPN, and that's gonna get just'd as cable subscriptions decline

>betting against a blockchain cable and satellite provider.

Why are you guys not investing on the Netflix of china? money making machine so far.

Hunh. Surprisingly, market isn't as bad today as I expected it. I expected shitstorm, and so far it's more of a delicate fartwinds.

I don't need to know shit but it's clear as fucking day all those network/cable channels are doomed.

The reliance on LIVE SPORTS is the worst aspect.

- No IP ownership
- No long term value, if they sell to a diff company you lost all value built up, and are invested in something you don't own

The entire model is fucking DEADER than it looks because of live sports. Not to mention they let the live sports build up their own streaming services on the side, aka NHL.tv, NBA.tv are all fully available. So the exclusivity is fake.

The leagues own the channels more than the channels these days. I don't see how people don't get how absolutely fucked these channels are.

What do you guys think of the value of CNY vs. USD/CAD over the next year?

I have the option of getting paid in Chinese Yuan and I think it might be my best bet....

Good post user

A great example of the short sightedness was this:
Recently the major cable company in my area decided to shut off its analog broadcast to go strictly digital. Not a big problem since all TVs have a digital tuner in them. However, the company said fuck that and forced everyone to get a box, which costs a hell of a lot more. The chimpout was real. They had to bring in armed guards at the offices to keep order. Turns out most of thier demo were nogs on welfare sitting at home all day. Very few people have actually kept them. Those that could afford fast internet switched to streaming. A lot of them just don’t have anything now.
Another problem that was revealed was that most of the homes around here were wired long ago with sub par coax cable. It just simply can’t handle the bandwidth. Friend of mine is working 60 hours a week now trying to keep up with the complaints.
In order to make a profit they pissed off thier entire consumer base and probably lost half thier customers.

when is robinhood coming out in the UK fok sake

No.

And it's not because of Trump. I don't pay him much attention, though he still has to be accounted for. It's because Nikkei fell, it's because DAX fell, and we've been farting around for good two weeks now, without clear direction, and it's usually not a very good sign. Also, S&P 500 futures were negative. So, negative outlook was justified.

You're gonna need a license for RH user.

That's some low IQ shit. Thing is enough people are dumb like that to make it go down. Herds.

I still think it recovers by end of day

What if this was all orchestrated so that boomer whales can just unload all their tech bags like AMD

There's a fight going on around the 5 minute time frame's 200 sma.

>girlfriend JUST heard about MoviePass a couple of weeks ago
>she gets really excited, wants both of us to subscribe so we can go to the movies "all the time"

Fuck, HMNY can't go bankrupt soon enough. I don't like going to the movies, I'd much rather stay home, cook a delicious meal, and sit down on the couch to watch netflix or a pirated movie on the big screen tv with a beverage of my choice. Watching a movie with my gf at home comes with the added bonus of being able to pause the movie and get my dick wet whenever I feel like it.

>AVGR
The fuck happened

The money comes from advertising. Which oddly enough is what’s killing network television. People hate ads with a passion and if they can stream something ad free they will.
The “revenue through advertising” model is what’s failing. People are tired of being told to buy. Couple that with shitty programming to begin with and you have a failing industry. Look at TLC. they just made a major shift in programming. For years now it’s been the trash degenerate honey boo boo type programming but suddenly they brought back Trading Spaces and Robot Wars. Total reversal. Why? Because people are tired of watching train wreck disgusting shows about fat people and trannies while they get bombarded by stupid ads with banana poster tier jokes.
If the network produces actual entertaining content though people may stay. At least that’s what thier betting. Don’t think it’ll work though.

That's some low IQ wishful thinking. Accepting facts instead of wishes is something you'll need to learn frend.
(Fact it, nikkei, dax and futures are negative. Everything else is "I hope / wish")

But hey, why not. We can wish, right? I have stocks so I wouldn't mind it going up. Just that so far the general market is not exactly doing it.

Yea going to the movies and being subject to the noise from the lost souls in the popcorn mines is a shitty way to spend money. Much comfier at home.

Fuck if I know. I lost money for the first time in 3 weeks.

my falcon passed away recently and I havent had the strength to visit my local kinoplex since

I had a nice 100lb Trenton London pattern anvil the one with a cast base and a hardened face that I bring to matinee screenings, it got stolen when I was in the showers. The orchestra laughed at me as I tried to look at it and the trombones tooted mockingly. I can't ever show my face back there again.

Pretty much this. And fighting lines and screaming kids and edgy teens.

Lucky I got out of tvix at 5.20 earlier.Tiny profit at least instead of a loss

Any good day trading option ideas for the day?

ST fags are blocking anyone that are bears, or talk negative about HMNY. I really hope this stock goes to 0 kek.

I'm holding my VXX until lunch at least. Could have sold for a profit earlier but on shaky days noon tends to be a bloodbath

what the fuck is this contraption

i want one

it would probably help with my neck pain for real

Anyone follow me into shorting HPE? I doubt it, but it was easy money.

Medical neck stretcher

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!! BUY!!!!!!!

Really? Tempting...

Gundam isn't anime :^)

Everyday, a green day lately.

I got out at 59.63 yesterday. I am extremely happy that I bought more last Friday because it lowered my price to 57.13 around there. Waiting for MU to dip some more before jumping in.

Do people not recall Enron just bleed to death and never got a squeeze. I get Enron had a huge scandal going on but I still don't see why people think a squeeze here is guaranteed when it's not which makes this all FOMO spending.

>buy limit orders start executing right at open
oh shit this will be one of those days won't it

Bank stocks completely wiped out yesterdays gains, luckily I sold and bought back today

still waiting

In college I had a class where we went over the enron scandal. Unbelievably fucked up what that company did to decent people. That being said, HMNY is just going to fuck over people on ST which is just funny.

OPEC is raising production next month, sell sell sell.

“The smartest guys in the room” was a great documentary. Borderline conspiracy theory too.

Yeah, there were a lot of people that bought into Enron when their stock was just bleeding thinking about the squeeze when it became more and more painfully clear the investigation was revealing what a scam this company was. None of the shareholders were compensated, anybody who had held anything of theirs just lost. It was a very bad day for boomers.

That was one of the documentaries we watched. Can't believe they conned their employees into loading their retirement funds with enron stock. Mark to market accounting is a brilliant scam.

Is TVIX just going to keep going up for the rest of this week? It's looking really tempting, also any meme stocks, talking SDRL and SNES level memes.
