What the fuck does a racial justice ETF even mean. Does it lose value every time a white person wears dreadlocks?
## Speaker_1: ##
There is a "feminist ETF" which is basically an ETF of companies with female CEOs.
If i had to guess, this is an ETF for companies with a lot of black employees.

I’m a union dump truck driver in NYC. Do you know what our pay scale is?? I left a business operations gig for this.
## Walls1337bot: ##
No.
## Speaker_1: ##
$42 an hour, time and a half OT (did 17 last week), 100% paid benefits by my company for top tier, and 100% company funded pension. All I pay is $89 per month for union dues. 4 weeks vacation, 6 sick, 5 personal. Plus I work gigs on the side for cash $30 an hour and I get scrap metal which is tax free. So far this year I pocketed $3200 in scrap.
When you see a trucker, know most those dudes are taking home over $120k a year + side hustle money.

Serious question: if some dingus tries selling "at market" what are the chances that this would fill?
Thank you for the answers.
## Speaker_1: ##
so...a market order? if I'm understanding your question, the odds of the order being filled are pretty much 100%. odds of you being satisfied with the trade? considerably less than 100%.
I have never, ever used market orders. bid/ask slippage is already a hell of a drug. no need to intensify the effects.
## Speaker_2: ##
Dumb question, but who gets the "difference" of prices in orders? For example: if the highest asking price for an option is $1.00 and I buy one option with a limit price of $2.00, do I buy it for $1.00 or do I buy it for $2.00 and the seller gets an extra $1.00?
## Speaker_1: ##
market makers earn their money on the bid/ask difference. brokers earn on the commission you pay.

I have 14 shares bought @ $606. It's tempting for me to take some money off the table but I have a feeling a few years from now I will really regret selling now. E-commerce is here, it's the present and future of retail and amazon owns it.
## Speaker_0: ##
I agree. Buying Amazon is like buying Walmart in the 1980s but the upside is much greater since they are trying to dominate the world.
## Speaker_2: ##
Commerce grows at 3% and Amazon grows at 28.2%...If they announced a stock split the MC would go through the roof and the P/E would be even more insane.
Jeff Bezos will be richest person in the world in a few years.

I thought it was assumed that if you've got your info on the internet it's in no way private to anyone who really wants to get at it.
Facebook probably knows more about me than the CIA cares to.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well from what I've read, the CIA has this program called UMBRA which allows them to hack other countries and make it look like any country the CIA chooses actually committed the hack.
They also can hack into 99% of electronic devices and do anything to them. Such as plant evidence of wrongdoing on someone's device, who was completely innocent, and make them guilty.
This goes a little farther than having people's info they willingly post on the internet.
## Speaker_0: ##

It's funny how fiscal conservatives are all quiet after a republican won the whitehouse but if a democrat raises the debt ceiling...
## Speaker_1: ##
If you say "I'm going to cut entitlements" the liberals go crazy, even though they rob the rest of us to pay for themselves, you cant win an election after that. So they dont say shit. They'll force us to default, because we cant stop giving people free shit now, that would be "heartless". Lol capitalism is for the people who move the world forward, socialism is for the theives.
Moral of the story is, you cant win an election if all the "free shit brigade" gets to vote for it.
Edit: over the same length of time entitlement spending dwarfs the Iraq war. By more than double, it's sad to think conservative finances dont matter anymore. You people want to devalue our money, and increase a debt that is 10 years from actually crippling the goverment and the economy for years to come.
2015-2017 entitlements cost were the same as the entirety of the Iraq war. Gimme gimme gimme.
## Speaker_2: ##
Basic entitlements expected of a 1st world nation didn't cause this. Notice nations that have govt subsidized healthcare and post secondary education dont have this problem.
This was caused by war spending under Bush and Reagan and corporate welfare for the wealthy.
A poor black senior having Medicaid didn't cause this, 2 trillion in Iraq, de regulation that led to 2008, and that tax bill did
## Speaker_3: ##
Most of them barely spend anything on defense let's be honest because they are essentially client states of America after World War 2. Trump is right on this one and European countries have more or less conceded that point. Iraq and Middle East has been a bunch expensive mistakes, but Hussein was truly a dictator and any sort of interventions has a risks of being mistakes, including World War 2.
Here's a politically incorrect point, in general Europe until very recently have a whiter population that just do better in terms of lifetime income, criminality and health outcomes. Like someone else said you also cherry picked and ignored Spain, Greece and Portugal.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> Here's a politically incorrect point, in general Europe until very recently have a whiter population that just do better in terms of lifetime income, criminality and health outcomes.
It's almost as if spending the better part of two decades blowing the shit out of poor countries will cause those people to flee to more economically stable areas.
None of what you mentioned has fuck all to do with race. It has to do with socioeconomic standing and social mobility. And guess what, destroying the infrastructure in largely non-white countries will have exactly the effect you're describing when those refugees flee to the few European nations that will take them.

Who could say he isn't right though?
about price gouging, not the fraud stuff

## Speaker_2: ##
>"If there was a company that was selling an Aston Martin at the price of a bicycle, and we buy that company and we ask to charge Toyota prices, I don't think that that should be a crime."
That hasn't stopped him from constantly denying and lying about it, but fraudsters and Pharma CEOs are hardly groups known for their honesty.
For reference, he raised the price of Thiola from $1.50 to $30 per pill, of which patients must take 10 to 15 of per day, and raised the cost of Daraprim from US$13.50 to US$750 per pill.
I assume by "Toyota prices" he meant "you could literally buy a Toyota for the cost of a months worth of these drugs at their new prices."
## Speaker_3: ##
How does that even matter, when its the insurance companies that is going to pay for it? His companies gave the stuff away for free, if you needed it and couldn't pay for it. He repeatedly asked people to produce one single patient, who needed it and couldn't get it.
Shkreli wanted to use the extra money, that he would be getting from the insurance companies, for drug research for some other rare disease.

One of the largest growth area for banking assets in 2017 was "non-QM loans"
Aka, home loans to people with not great credit. You might even say they're....*subprime*
No one learns anything because people are cattle.
## Speaker_1: ##
> non-QM loans
Holy shit. I just looked into these. Wow. Bound to repeat. The housing market is such trash. People are idiots.
## Speaker_2: ##
You’re an idiot, non-QM just means they aren’t perfectly standard and can’t be sold to Fannie and Freddie. Plenty of rich people have non-QM mortgages because they want balloons or bullets or whatever. Studies of non QM mortgages shows performance between prime and subprime and either way no one does risk layering anymore like they used to.
## Speaker_1: ##
The problem is that most of these people can't qualify for conventional mortgages due to debt or not enough for a down payment. They are heavily debt-ridden. While there might be a plan for repayment, it could easily go off the rails if the borrower incurs further unexpected debt. When you couple this with increasing consumer debt, stagnant wages, and inflation, the bottom will eventually give out.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He's right. Non-conforming loans aren't necessarily shit loans, they just don't conform to Fannie/Freddie rules. In my market most of those are due to crazy home values resulting in loans over the $417M limit. Has nothing to do with quality of borrowers.

lol as if people who currently don't hold any official government position can be charged with insider trading. And even if they are current officials, they passed the [S.T.O.C.K. Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act), that prevents insider trading........then they quietly amendment it [(Passed in 14 seconds)](http://www.reuters.com/article/net-us-usa-congress-security-idUSBRE93B0ZJ20130412) to essentially continue what they where doing before. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I started with $500, when I first started a couple years ago. Sure I lost it all, but it was a good learning experience.

If Musk were to go to jail for his tweet. I think that Trump would probably retaliate against the SEC for being less then useless. The SEC just runs around and does a few token stings for prime time news, so they look like they're busy, and they don't do anything to protect real investors from real legitimate ongoing ponzi schemes nor protecting Americans from real domestic and international threats/scams.
The SEC has a job to do, keep the markets honest, and they're not doing it, not in the slightest, the markets are one of the most dishonest places in the world, they're only going around and making it look like they're doing it in exchange for taxpayer dollars. This is due to regulatory capture. If the SEC does actual policing of corruption and dishonesty, they would have to uproot half of the system.

most part timers aren't interested in a long vesting RSU bro. also, i would rather take consistent $15/hour then occasional bonuses. so no, this is actually better for most amazon part timers.
i see all these $15/hour bashing but bro let me tell you this. i just recently signed up at an Amazon fullfillment center near my house to make some tendies while i'm not at my fulltime analyst gig and let me tell you... the insane work they have to do there makes $15 an hour STILL an underpaying job. if you've never seen what they have to go through you should just stfu. this is not a cashier job.
## Speaker_0: ##
If you accept the job @ $15/hr then thats what the job is worth. And of course they are going to push you to do more work than what they pay you, newsflash EVERY JOB DOES THAT. Most businesses want $20/hr work for $15/hr pay. I've never seen what you/they go through, but you accept the job with the pay AND you can quit at any time. I'd be willing to bet (if you really are a full time analyst in whatever field) you can find part time consultancy work that pays you way more.
## Walls1337bot: ##
bro i cannot do consulting because i do my analyst job full time. there is no such thing as weekend consulting for what i do. if you consult you have to give up you ft job. i'm in healthcare IT and nobody works on the weekends except for go lives. also, i didn't take this AMZN gig for just the money or i would have never signed up.
accepting a job does not magically make an underpaid job no longer underpaid. that is flawed logic. i understand what you are trying to say... that people have free will to choose and move on. yes, but that is not the same as a job no longer being underpaid simply by accepting it. if a migrant accepts a job paying $3/hour in a farm in Cali... him taking it doesn't mean he is no longer underpaid. it means he is either retarded or he has no choice. also, your over generalization and over simplification of jobs pushing you to work more than what they pay is laughable. You think this is my first job? dude there is no job i've taken, full time or part time, where they have worked people like what I'm seeing at Amazon. you're over generalizing and claiming that a part time job at Amazon is just like any other part time job. Nope, not even close. I've never had a job where i felt pressured to not use the restroom. you hear about all those articles where AMZN workers say they feel pressure not to go to the bathroom due to quotas? well that shit is true. is that how it's like at other normal jobs? nope, definitely not normal.
## Speaker_0: ##
>, i didn't take this AMZN gig for just the money
So $15/hr isn't all you're getting paid, factor this into your 'I'm underpaid' logic.
A migrant accepts a grossly underpaying job on a farm because he/she isn't qualified (by legal status/immigration/language barriers) to take any other job. So HE/SHE has come to the conclusion that its in their best interest to take the low wage (most likely illegal) job. Definitely not because they are 'retarded' (lol nice point of view). More like this is what they can accept because of their social position in the country. Close analogy but not exactly because you are crossing into legal/illegal wages. You and your fellow co-workers are backed by state laws regulating work conditions & wages.
Also, never claimed that Amazon jobs are 'just like any other part time job'. I'd also mention that I know that Amazon is insane (never stated otherwise), I'm simply saying they are not your Slave Master. Ive worked jobs (Enterprise Rent-A-Car specifically) where you are HIGHLY encouraged to never take a break (bathroom, lunch, whatever). Worked an unnumbered amount of days with no lunch break (Class action lawsuits can back up my claims). I left. I found another job that pays slightly less but allows me to be a human BECAUSE THATS WHAT I VALUE. You think this job should be done by someone less qualified or you should get paid more? Cool, Amazon (and others) thinks it should be done by robots. You obviously value something that this Amazon job provides you more than the hate you have for it otherwise you would have left.
​
I'll leave you with this. We live short lives, if you hate working for Amazon. Don't. Go do something that makes you happy.

## Speaker_0: ##
The problem in my view is barrier to entry for most young people. Certifications and degrees are tantamount to waste in lieu of verifiable experience. We all know at least a few people that cannot break into industry despite their education and work ethic. Perhaps it's a lacking of apprenticeships, not internships, or the unwillingness of companies to outlay cash and lost productivity to train skilled replacements for their workforce. I'm not talking about breaking into heavily unionized industries like auto or utilities. Rather, I'm speaking about the skilled trades like plumbing, glazing, baking, butchery, heavy machinery, and trucking.
## Speaker_1: ##
I think the problem is that no one wants to do those jobs anymore because they think they're too good for it.
Plus, when you're told all your life that you need to spend $50K+ on a degree, and you finally receive it and realize it's almost worthless, you definitely don't want to do a job that doesn't require a degree just based on principle alone unless you're starving and have no choice.
## Speaker_2: ##
No one wants to do them, or the going wage rate is not high enough for those jobs.
Supply and demand baby
## Walls1337bot: ##
Trades are in high demand, I do electric and my going rate is damn near as high as I want it to be. I do work on the side after I get off with my main company, personally I'm booked through the rest of the year and the company I work for doesn't have room for another job until next March.
We need more electricians though. Having the work is nice, my bank account is getting obese but I am fucking tired man. And you'd think with so much work and so few people doing electric that we could more or less pick and choose who we work with but unless you're one of the top companies in the area then you can't afford to be that picky because GCs will stop calling you with the desirable jobs.
## Speaker_3: ##
And yet I never see ads for apprenticeship in the trades. All I see is listings looking for journeymen with multiple years experience. Yes, a union will help you out but at least here in the south, noone wants to hire union if they can help it so union apprentices make little money. Its a catch 22.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm non union. I got accepted to their apprenticeship program in Memphis at the JATC. I was their first choice candidate they interviewed and perfect score on entry exam(which is like 8th grade math and reading lol). They still took over two months to call me with work, by then I had found a very unique job with a control company that did automation for cotton gins.
My tenure there was not very long, I worked quite hard but I was very unqualified for my position. The owner kind of broke that down for me and told me that he liked my work ethic, he was sorry he brought me on and had to end it after only a few months. But he had a former employee who had started a company a few years prior, he put in a word with me for him. I ended up working there for years and still work there. I make excellent money as a licensed journeyman, I learned everything I needed to know from either the people I worked under or by studying on my own time. I'll own my own company in a few years.
And honestly, don't go with the union. They suck. Sorry if I offend any union workers here. Go with a private company, tell them you want a helper position. Look up what the beginning rate is for first year union apprentices is in your area and ask for like $2 an hour more than that. Tell them you'll work hard, you want to learn. You'll probably have to buy your own hand tools. Even the union makes you do that. But it's quite possible to cut the union out of the equation completely, I for one am quite happy I did.

## Walls1337bot: ##
I remember when I used to dip, yessiree, Copenhagen mint for me. Unfortunately, I find myself unable to do so anymore. You see, I had a habit of going to bed with a lip in. After awhile, the accumulated shit that I involuntarily swallowed started to erode my esophagus. I didn't stop doing it in my sleep until I got mouth cancer and had to have part of my cheeks removed, couldn't pack a lip anymore. I then started going to bed with some nicorette under my tongue. That of course, came before the tongue cancer, which finished off both my tongue and lower jaw. I had to have a feeding tube put in since I couldn't swallow anything without a jaw or a tongue. This also meant no more gum for me, not that I could afford buying it much longer anymore. Medical expenses piled up and my golden goose, 10000 shares of AMD, started looking shaky enough to short after it sunk under the 2.90 mark. At this point, I was in a real dilemma: I couldn't dip without cheeks, couldn't chew gum without a jaw, and couldn't smoke without lips (which by the way, were removed with the cheeks). I figured it was time to go back to dip, but this time, I mixed it in with the ensure that I ate with my feeding tube. The skoal smoothies worked a couple of times, but after that, my feeding tube got clogged and I had get a new one put in. Right after I left my doctors office with a new feeding tube I, it finally hit me how much money I lost. I was so depressed right then, that I walked into a Walgreens to pick up enough zzzquil to OD on. It was when I was checking out that I saw the bottles of vape juice behind the counter. I dropped the pills and instead bought a bottle of watermelon vape juice and a can of vanilla ensure.

When is the last time a president had this strong of an economy at a mid term election? I mean if he just would shut up and let the market go, the reps would be sitting pretty.
Instead, he could reasonably put the country into a recession before his reelection if the trade war gets out if hand. +5 pct real GDP QoQ to negative would be quite a stupid accomplishment. But I guess that's the risk you take with debt funded growth.
## Speaker_1: ##

Looks promising. Maybe because I'm a psych major I know how huge of a problem Alzheimer's is and is going to become with all these baby boomers losing their goddamned minds. It's worth the buy just for the speculation and probable run up before results.
## Speaker_2: ##
No one cares what you are majoring in. Your 1st sentence is not predicated at all on your major. Alzheimers has always been a problem regardless of your major. Fuck. I hate millenials.
## Speaker_3: ##
Look, I agree the kid is douchey for wanting to make sure WSB knew he was a psyche major. But you can't just act like it's millenials who were the first ones to casually shoehorn what their major is (or some other stupid fucking fact that nobody cares about) into a conversation for no reason other than to talk about themselves.
Edit: Just noticed you shoehorned in your reply below that you were a neuroscience major and then complained that WSB is full of rampant naive children. If you don't want WSB to seem like that then don't act like that.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I mean this guy /u/Chuckthedog_woofwoof is giving a psych major shit and he graduated with a neuroscience degree (an absolutely worthless major below the PhD level). The irony is already lethal at this point. Not to mention many places don't have a separate 'neuro' dept and award their graduates a 'psychology' degree for studying neuroscience, so the guy getting bashed may well be studying the same shit as Chuck woof woof guy.
Then he shit talks another guy who has a neuro/biochem MS above in this thread. Which by the way, the neuro MS is still somewhat worthless, although the biochem a bit less so if he had wetlab or computational modelling experience applicable to industry, but he probably didn't.
Anyway, he grills this guy and says he "could care less" (only fuckin idiots say 'could care less'; it's '**couldn't** care less') about their degrees despite having literally called out two people about their education and he *misses the irony* of making that statement *while having butchered that phrase*. Let me give him a hint: the proper usage of "could care less" would be in the opposite context, i.e. if someone told you your house burned down "I could care less about my house burning down because I care a FUCKING LOT". On the other hand if I told someone rich there was penny on the ground they could rightfully tell me they "couldn't care less" about that.
I think he's either a troll or someone took a shit in his cereal but there's no reason to be tilting so fucking hard on this subreddit unless you just lost a major trade and can prove it.
Better to be a stupid ass millenial than whatever pathetic fucking shit generation this guy came from (presumably Gen X if he graduated with a degree 15 years ago) where they apparently only taught you how to shit on people while incorrectly using english idioms and getting degrees in majors which are *still* useless 15 years later.

I think smart people would tell you this market volatility is a classic sign of a bear market. These large spikes into the green are unnatural after a consistent decline since October, especially since the government is shutdown (with no end in sight) and the Fed is going to raise rates again very soon.
Smart money is on the market starting up tomorrow, and then showing a downtrend until about 2:30 and then try to rally near EOD. Anyone who buys puts better sell when they show 30% profits, anyone wanting 300% gains are dumb to think they'll get it this week.

As a MU bagholder, I also laugh in Sanjay when I see that they charge +$200 to go from 8 GB of DDR3 to 16 and another +$200 to go from a 128 GB SD to a 256 GB. Really passing on those \~cyclical\~ savings to the consumer.

## Walls1337bot: ##
The non-shitpost answer is 'fractional shares'.

What do you do for a living to have that much cash?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Did professional services consulting in IT. Quit to trade full time. Took a new job and stopped paying attention to my account as closely as o should have. Now we here.
## Speaker_1: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##
It was working out. Till I took a full time day job
## Speaker_2: ##
Lmao, you're delusional.
Let me get this straight:
You made $1 million last year between job/trading so you quit your job.
You trade with ALL of the money you have to your name.
You somehow don't remember to pay taxes on the money you made.
You realize you owe 200k in taxes but have lost 50% of your value by March so panic and go back to a full time job (really "worked out" there for three months...)
Over the next 6 months you get your value over $1 million again TWICE, but at no point think that it would be a good idea to pay your $200k in taxes.
And then your account goes totally bust by the beginning of October.
Now you're not only broke but stupidly in debt.
You said you average 200k from your job.
It will take you years to come even close to breaking even and you're so delusional about your own behavior you'll probably make the same mistakes over and over (TRADING WITH ALL OF MY MONEY, NOT STUPID GUYS!)
Congrats on making a fat MILLION in 2017, though.
Good luck seeing that kind of market come around over the next 20 years.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Some of you people are so fucked in the head. What on the world makes you think your bright enough to say anything like that to me? Cause you took a college class or watched a YouTube video? Fuck off back to Burger King pleb.
## Speaker_2: ##
Lol.
You're right.
It's really smart to trade with all your money and not pay your taxes.
My bad.
I must have missed that Youtube video but thanks for clarifying why you're really smart!
## Walls1337bot: ##
After that much of a loss it is smart. Now I don’t pay the full tax liability. I can give an offer in compromise. I also had a chance to make the money back. Rather than dump my account and just be at 0
## Speaker_2: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##
Thanks mom. Tell me what’s your net worth? If it’s under 5 million I could give a shit less what you think. Back to your furry anime gangbang porn neck beard.
## Speaker_2: ##
Yeah at least try to act like you're a real account...
## Speaker_3: ##
I’m trying to figure out how he would have unpaid tax liabilities? In the course of a single year - makes money on trades, that goes in the short term capital gains basket, lose money on trades and you deduct those as short term capital losses...do we need to get a CPA in here?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I have taxes due from 2017 that were not paid. Money was in my trading account now it’s not. Money I still owe was due to trades in 2017.

Actually seems pretty genuine.
They're offering an entire, free package for all their consumers to protect themselves. A huge cost, but it'll go a long ways.
Plus, this incident isn't that detrimental to the company. Take a look at their history - there's been worse.
## Speaker_1: ##
this dude smoking some dank.
## Speaker_0: ##
When things go bad..you can't always start pointing your finger and blaming others and calling them schmucks and losers.
Bad things happen.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wrong... actions have consequences. People, corporations and organizations have responsibilities. There needs to be extreme accountability from this incident. Your passive and laid back approach shows that you have no backbone when it comes down to calling it like it is. Equifax fucked up on a record breaking global scale. This hack will impact American citizens forever. We will never know when our socials and identity will be sold/used/etc.
## Speaker_0: ##
Yes, they fucked up - nobody is arguing that.
I'm saying now to look forward. What can we do now, to produce the best results later?
Eradicate everything, like you may suggest? Hell no.
Like I, and the CEO said, measures are being taken to fix what happened and more forward.
What do you suggest we do differently than that?
## Walls1337bot: ##
>Actually seems pretty genuine.
Let's be real here. You're making it seem like they're doing us a favor by seeming genuine. Dude, they have to appear genuine. They made history with their security failure.
>They're offering an entire, free package for all their consumers to protect themselves. A huge cost, but it'll go a long ways.
Again you're making it seem like they're doing us a favor. Wrong... this is the least they can do to their customers. This security breach will have life time consequences. The company solution is temporary. They have to do way better than that.
>Plus, this incident isn't that detrimental to the company. Take a look at their history - there's been worse.
There hasn't been worse. You obviously haven't been reading up on the news. This happens to be the biggest security breach in the company's history.
I think the biggest issue I'm having with your approach to this is the fact that you appear to think this will blow over quickly and that everything will go back to the way it was before the breach. After reading your comments in this thread, I've decided that you either have nothing to lose, or you're from a different country not directly impacted by the breach.
>measures are being taken to fix the situation
Welp. There's your checkmark right? Hey guys pack it up, they're fixing it! Wrong again... there is no permanent fix for what just happened. There will always be people victimized for identity theft at the fault of the company. This is nothing more than a PR attempt at damage control and slow down the loss of money they're encountering. If you truly believe that they're fixing this, you should wake up and get back to reality

All in zero day calls (or puts) at open about 10-15 points OTM. After it moves 10-15 points, sell your calls (or puts) and switch to puts (or calls).
Srsly this bipolar shit is no fun
## Speaker_0: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##
Look up options for SPX. Look at the ones that expire Wednesday. Look at the current SPX price and pick a side - puts if you think it's heading down, calls if you think it's heading up.
Buy puts/calls that are about 10-15 points away from current price. Wait. Within 2 hours you will either be broke or you will have a lot more money than you did before. Sell whatever you bought, and then buy puts/calls that are again same distance from current price. Repeat until satisfied or homeless - whichever comes first.
## Speaker_0: ##

Californian here. This is the best advice.
## Speaker_2: ##
Except people get pissy towards us when we move into their territory. I know Portland people, and Dallas folks don't like Californians.
## Speaker_3: ##
The amusing part is the people complaining about rising housing costs and gentrification, then moving, to personally deliver those same problems to another area.
## Speaker_2: ##
That's the main reason we aren't liked. "California sucks, I'm moving!" Expects other place to basically be California.
## Walls1337bot: ##

That's mostly why nobody wants Californians moving to their state.

As some one who has been in the market since 1996, I disagree. Where we are at is the "bear trap". I have no doubt this will end in tears for all the fools of WSB but we're still in the early stages of the mania phase. Expect a recession in 2 years.
## Walls1337bot: ##
As someone who was born in 1995, I'd like to reassure you that I obviously have more experience, and I'm correct. I started trading right out of the womb, and quickly climbed to the top of my field. Did you see my chart? It's very detailed and clear.
## Speaker_1: ##
how many confirmed trades do you have??

I have more confirmed trades than the number of times I slept with your mother.

shit like that isn't even ironically said. I've read shit about how it's just as difficult to become an art/education/history major as it is to become a stem major and that stem majors don't deserve the praise they get for "chasing $$$".
Let that sink in for a second. People are taking out loans, to get a degree, that they know doesn't pay well, because they don't want a degree just for a job. And are then offended when told they didn't work as hard as the aerospace engineer raking in 6 figures.
## Speaker_3: ##
3 of my friends have bachelors degrees. None of them work in a field that their degree was meant for. It baffles me how someone can spend years and a ton of money to get a degree that they don’t use.

Probably $0.05 in raw materials and $1000 in fun times.

How can you put a price on fun times?
## Speaker_2: ##
(Initial enjoyment) (Hours used)/IQ
## Walls1337bot: ##
Couldn't have quantified it any better really.
## Speaker_3: ##
You need a coefficient that factors in enjoyment drop over time times time used.
Right now were assuming that every spin is just as euphoric as the first.

The 100 share+ car discount is sweet though.
## Speaker_0: ##
What is this?
## Walls1337bot: ##
You get get a lower price on cars at the dealers. Plan A is the employee discount and Plan X is a discount given to many different people affiliated with Ford including but not limited to share holders who hold 100+ shares and have done so for more than 6 months at the time of the prospective car purchase. Plan X is supposedly 5% more than the employees pay. Problem is that you could negotiate the same price yourself. Ask for the invoice, the original too, for the cars you're looking at so you know what they paid for the cars and then negotiate off of that.
## Speaker_1: ##
I don't understand the second half of what you said.
