What, your dad or uncle doesn’t run an equity fund? Just call them up and get a job, it’s so easy! This is legitimately the only way I have seen people get an analyst job. My dumbass friend in college is a Vice President at one just because his dad’s best friend runs one.

EDIT 2: All right, since none of you autists read, I'm down here I'll throw up a few classic youtube videos that'll hopefully get things moving for you. Although I'm sure there's plenty of you who have seen these.

[The American Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGk5ioEXlIM)
It's not all true, but enough of it is. These videos are low budget, there's fuckin crackpots in the comments section, and the delivery of the info can be hokey or folksy in that ol' leftist spirit, but there's good shit in there.
## Walls1337bot: ##
My god! It’s so simple! Why didn’t I trawl through thousands of shitty paranoid YouTube videos before now?
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm kind of kidding, because there's like an inordinate amount of info on the topic. Like a ton. For every hundred shitty videos, there's five that are legit. And there are millions or videos. There's literature. There's wikipedia. At the end of the day, there's common sense.
I don't blame people for not getting into it though. There aren't many hours in the day, and most don't have the stomach for it anyway.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You and I use the word ‘info’ very differently. I reject the notion that the only reason I don’t understand any of this is that I’m ignorant. You have no concept of mine or anyone else’s backgrounds and awareness.

Long time lurker, first time poster.
I realized I had a problem when I ran $12,500 up to $35k on SPY, FB, GOOG calls and then lost it all in about 3 days of catastrophic losses, back in early 2016.
Now I’m richer than I’ve ever been, back to lurking on WSB, and I know it’s going to lead me back into bad decisions.
All of my investing for the past two years has been extremely boring, 401k and an account managed by a Merrill Lynch guy who puts my money in ETF’s and takes a 1% cut. It is so obviously the way to go and I hate it. I could do this myself and save the fee, but I basically explained to my advisor that I pay him 1% to stop me from getting bored and going apeshit yolo.
## Speaker_0: ##
Stop letting him manage your manage. He takes the one percent whether you’re up or down on the year. I speak as a pleb from financialindependence that you should manage your own investments
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thank you for the advice. It’s all good. He’s been at it for a few months managing half of my nest egg. The other half is with a robo advisor at 0.25%, so this guy knows he has to beat that by 0.75% to keep it.
I have to focus on earning more money to invest. I’m not disciplined enough not to stare at the movements all day if I’m managing it.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah but that drive to beat will probably make him lose more than indexes when the market goes south.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Right, but I would not otherwise be sitting in indexes. I would otherwise be sweating some OTM calls when that correction comes, and take a much worse beating than he will. I told him I want an aggressive risk profile, and he setup this grandma portfolio of ETF’s. To me, aggressive means there’s a 20-30% chance of losing it all this week, or doubling it.
“I know I’m going to lose, and gambling’s for fools, but THAT’S THE WAY I LIKE IT BABY, I DON’T WANNA LIVE FOREVAAH!”

By the way, anyone want to buy a used pager off of me?
## Speaker_1: ##
Ford and GM both actually make pretty good EVs. They just have much slimmer margins so they don't bother to press them.
Tesla makes a great car, but let's not pretend the big boys can't pivot into the space if the margon is there.
## Speaker_2: ##
This. I bought a used Focus Electric and love the little bastard. It's efficient, has a low payment, and is just fun to drive. I charge at home and it's ready the next day.
That being said Ford didn't do shit to market or support the car at all. And they also seem to not give two fucks about developing a decent EV at all. Like don't they remember 2008 at all? Let's sell big-ass pickup trucks because gas is cheap!
## Speaker_3: ##
Because the trucks make all the money. Few people actually want an electric car. EV-only folks will be a minority for some time.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You do realize a huge portion of this is because if you want an affordable quality electric car, it used to be that it looked super ugly?

honestly dude you need to have a higher IQ than most people to beat the market consistently and on your own (i.e. not just copy pasting what a successful person is doing, because odds are you don't have one ready to babysit you).
do you have that intellect? that's a big part of beating the market and not simply relying on luck - luck won't last. are you honestly well above average? it doesnt help if you lie to yourself and pretend that you are - youll only end up crashing. did you outsmart everyone in school? did you skip any grades? do you feel like most people around you just dont get it, and are slow compared to you?
if you're just an average guy, and there's no shame in that, i wouldn't bank on becoming a successful market-beating (with consistency) trader.
## Speaker_4: ##
Yeah this is basically bullshit. IQ has nothing to do with trading and neither does being able to outsmart everyone. If you think you can outsmart the market you're a fucking idiot.

## Walls1337bot: ##
And just to be more specific this is a situation where you have to keep in mind what a stock really is. The market is saying that it believes the value of Ford's equity is now 6% worse off. It's easy to say "well this won't affect how many cars they'll sell" and that's maybe very reasonable - but there's a wide gap of other things that affect the value of Ford's equity between how many cars they sell. Steel costs, with all related tariffs and exchange rates, foreign labor costs with all related exchange rates, re-patrioting profits, etc. etc. They may sell exactly as many cars as they would have and the value of the equity/stock may be much worse off

If the dog just stood in one spot, eventually he would get what he was after. In trying to do better then gains offered by an index of many funds, you are punished by having losses forced on you.
The complexity of the pattern being pursued rises to float at a level higher than your grasp. As soon as you reach it, your influence over the market grows in proportion to your success, eliminating that opportunity for others like a carrot on a stick attached to your head, like digging a hole in the ocean.

You can deduct losses from your taxes
## Speaker_1: ##
Only 3k :|
## Speaker_2: ##
What? In the US? You have a limit to what gain you can deduct against losses before being taxed?!
What a ripoff.
​
## Speaker_3: ##
You can carry those losses forward though. Offset against any gains and take at least 3k every year otherwise.
## Speaker_2: ##
So you can get into a situation where you owe more for tax than you have left, ex. you lost all at the last moment?
While if the gains cancel losses 1:1, it's really just your YTD capital gain come tax day.
Is this correct? I now understand more the common 'save for tax' admonishment.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's not right at all. Its net at the end of the year of all trades. If you are negative overall, you can write off up to 3k from your other taxable income. Any losses past that can roll to the next years potential gains.
Example. Year 1 I lose 25k net for the year (it doesnt matter that I had profitable trades, it's just the overall net). I can write off 3k of that on my taxes, against my income from my job. And then carry the 22k over.
Year 2. I net 35k. I am only taxed on 35k - 22k = 13k. Because my prior years losses of 22k rolled into this years 35k gain.
And if year 2 you didnt make anything you can again deduct 3k from your taxable income and continue rolling the remainder into the next year and so on.
"Save money for taxes!!" After a successful play makes no fucking sense if you plan to continue trading your account through the rest of the year and I hate when people say it. Gains/losses on individual plays mean absolutely nothing when trading. All that matters is the end of years net of all of your trades.

Would we be so ashamed as a species that no one would want to even touch the subject, or would other malicious rulers use Hitler’s advancements to do the same thing?

Banks don’t really trade with their own money. They execute trades for clients so this isn’t really how it works
## Speaker_1: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##
Yup banks don’t really prop trade
## Speaker_2: ##
That's what they want you to think
## Walls1337bot: ##
The fact you say this means you know nothing about what actually happens. There are people at every bank in risk, compliance, and internal audit dedicated to Volcker compliance. Even if you think risk and compliance groups are corrupt (they’re not) Internal audit acts independently and doesn’t let this shit happen. There are also regulators that look at banks compliance with Volcker every year.
Additionally, even outside of Volcker, if banks were prop trading, numerous areas around the bank would be privy to it. Their CFO team, CCAR team, accounting team and the risk, compliance, and audit groups that act as lines of defense over these groups would see this. And the regulators looking over these groups would see this.
There is no possible way banks would have any sort of significant prop trading without being found out almost immediately.

Literally twitter momo, it's the only reason I have an account. Ticker starts getting talked about, I look to see if I'm early or late to the party and if I think I'm early (usually based on RSI not bouncing off the roof) I buy it.

By "bouncing off the roof" do you mean, bouncing above 70? And what timeframe do you usually look at before pulling the trigger? Hourly?
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Depends on the ticker, but my default is set to hourly. I will scan the past few months of RSI and see the range it's been in to decide what too high or too low is. 70 could be a buy if it's been up to 90 and the momo is strong.

Why do you think you have a right to tell companies what they can or cannot do?
Your tax money goes to run government services, not to control companies.
You don't like what telcos are doing? Stop doing business with them.
And tell your elected officials to remove the obstacles that make it so hard for other companies to provide their internet service to you. That is the only thing that is stifling competition, which means that the one company that is available to you can do whatever it wants.
## Walls1337bot: ##

By 2022, DOW hits 30,000. 2025, big market crash, DOW back down to 25,000. Half of WSB goes all-in on $ROPE.

Hope you are right. But Trump making past this term? ������
## Walls1337bot: ##
That'll happen easily... what the more retarded elements of the left (radical leftists, AntiFa, etc.) don't realize is that if Trump were impeached, especially over what most of his supporters see as a nothingburger (Russia), then you'd really see a shitstorm.
People think a white supremacist speaking at UofF is a big deal, but there's a lot of just proud nationalists and many others who call themselves patriots who might consider taking up arms... and they actually have arms, unlike the radical left. Eventually a single person or group will become a rallying symbol for all these people to unite behind "in defense of country" or some other such rhetoric.
Obviously, this outcome would suck for markets (minus firearms & ammunition stocks, some defense stocks, etc.), but I also consider this to be an unlikely outcome (although plausible). If, however, this happens, you fuckers will regret saving up for yacht and not an isolated island with water filtration & desalination, solar panels, etc. Islands off the Northwest coast of the U.S. are being bought up with increasing frequency by wealthy tech-heads and small-scale infrastructure being constructed in greater numbers.

Three things I said would always happen. Gay marriage, weed legalization, gun legislation. In that order.
## Speaker_1: ##
‘Gun legislation’ is a bit vague, since there already is gun legislation. Do you mean taking away all guns? That wont go well.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm thinking he probably means getting rid of some of our insane gun laws, like restrictions on silencers and SBRs.
## Speaker_2: ##
I feel like if we actually prosecuted the registered owners of guns sold on the black market it would make people question illegal sales to sketchy peopl. Most gun related incidents are suicide, stupid accidents, and crimes of passion (stupid argument between two friends/family members that gets out of hand), none of which would exactly be stopped by taking guns away nor restricting acces. The gun violence that's in the news isn't nearly as prevalent as the above three types of events and is more likely to include an illegally owned weapon by comparison. Just simply enforcing the law and prosecuting the sellers as complicit would probably make a huge difference.
https://www.politifact.com/new-york/statements/2018/mar/12/john-faso/do-illegal-gun-owners-commit-most-gun-crime-rep-fa/
## Walls1337bot: ##
Selling a gun to another individual - in many states - is not a crime. It would be ludicrous to hold the seller responsible for future crimes committed by the buyer. That'd be like if you sold a car to someone and then you got charged with a crime if they used it during a DUI. Most states (fortunately) don't have "registered owners of guns", anyway. The problem is this: the criminal background check service isn't open to individuals. If you want to sell a gun to another individual, you can use their concealed carry permit as a proxy that they have a clean background, but you can't make the NICS call that an FFL would make to run their background. If NICS was opened to individuals, that problem could be solved.
In any event, it is already illegal to buy a gun for another individual who can't (it's called a "straw purchase", and it carries a 10yr felony sentence). All criminals have to do to get guns is pay someone with a clean background to walk into a gun store and buy one - or buy one from someone who steals guns to re-sell them. But both of those scenarios involve multiple felonies already. There is no need to attempt to further criminalize sellers of firearms, many of whom are just regular joes who buy and sell firearms in their collection.
You are correct that gun violence in the news isn't as prevalent as the other situations you describe. Mass shootings are something like 1-2% of all homicides and .3-.6% of all "gun deaths".

Doesn't matter which broker, these are federal regulations. Yes, if you don't have the 20k, you just withdraw the cash and go elsewhere since you won't be able to daytrade for 90 days in that account.
## Speaker_2: ##
PDT only applies if your in a margin account. If your on RH and not a margin account and they still limit you, then its time to switch to a big boy broker
## Speaker_0: ##
FFS, this isn't about PDT. This is about exceeding your day trading limit in **one day**.

## Speaker_2: ##
Again doesn't apply to cash accounts...also I'm not gonna look through your post history to find out if you have margin or not

He probably has instant settle set up with Robinhood which technically qualifies him as a margin account because they’re crediting the account before the actual trades settle.

My god these people are stupid. Its not even the fact that he didn't know and understand that, its the fact that he is posting this garbage with such confidence that he is correct
## Speaker_1: ##
Unfortunately its reflective of the whole reddit community.
Essentially it's impressionable pseudo-intellectual kids who significantly overestimate their understanding, ignorant of the fact that spreading false information is actually causing harm to other impressionable kids- which perpetuates this cycle of stupidity.

I abhore this place. WSB is my refuge.

This is why I like most Circlejerk subs, nobody is trying to be smart, you just make fun of others trying to do it.
## Speaker_4: ##
They are a circlejerk sub about 8% annual gains.
## Speaker_5: ##
We are a circle jerk sub about 80% losses. Those fucking losers
## Speaker_4: ##
But 80% is way better than 8%, faggot.

I’m not sure which is harder to believe. The female part or someone that actually works in finance posted here.
## Speaker_1: ##
U/portlandmiser HI! we live silently among you (sometimes I think I’m the only girl here?). Also, It’s a great time to work in self managed sales, the stuff we see would put this sub to SHAME
## Walls1337bot: ##
I’m a female, I lurk here as I don’t have any money to make YOLO bets. One time I did buy a single share of GM though so
