Some pretty gnarly drops, looks like faggots delights all day every day.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah bro 50k to 25k is crazy as fuck in a IRA. Only shitty thing about IRAs is the limited deposit cap every year so even if you drop substantially you have to just deal with it unless you want to roll over a 401k or some shit.
If OP could realistically make a shit load in his IRA it would be pretty dope not paying any taxes on his gainz.
## Speaker_2: ##
That move was bad - I was ready to give up and be happy with the 25k I got. I will probably slow down now though.
## Speaker_1: ##
You've definitely done a lot better than I ever will. I assume you started with 5500 (according to the graph) and got to over 75k in a month. Thats some crazy % return.
But yeah bro know when to stop. I would probably just buy some good stocks and sell options against it especially since its an IRA.

Why do people post the national suicide help line? Has anyone but me actually called it? You have to make it through the 90s automation menu, dodge the veteran prompts, and then I was on hold with extra shitty music for 4 minutes before hanging up.
If I was suicidal, being on hold with that music would be the final straw.
## Speaker_0: ##
Don't call that number without a reason. You're just going to increase wait times for people in actual crisis.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I was suicidal when I called the national suicidal helpline, I was unaware I had to state that.
## Speaker_1: ##
I hope you're in a better place now.
In the other guys defense, the "if I was suicidal" statement leads us to infer that you weren't. It implies that if you were, you would have attempted suicide, because the music was a final straw. Which you may have, but most people are thinking that most attempts are successful (unfortunately) so you must not have.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The help line is for if you have any suicidal thoughts you want talked through, not just limited to "I'm gonna do it" crisis. And thanks. Not even financial, just a bad breakup at the time.

## Walls1337bot: ##
It's definitely useful, but once people started being rewarded for using the vote bot, nearly everything gets tossed.

I mean if it’s posted on a public forum it’s no longer an insider secret right?
## Speaker_2: ##
I've yet to see a straight answer on this lol
## Speaker_1: ##
Really the answer I was given by my accountant years ago was something along the lines of insider trading has no rank. Meaning a janitor who trades on information he read on a desk is guilty of securities fraud.
## Speaker_3: ##
Shitposting aside, am securities lawyer, can confirm it's insider trading. Also, buying options is the fastest way to get caught insider trading. Your company gets an SEC inquiry into unusual trading in its stock around earnings and you'll be on the list. This isn't a huge deal until the SEC refers the case to the DOJ/FBI, and then your life gets very difficult.
## Speaker_4: ##
But what if that random employee posts the information on a public forum . Then isn't it essentially just leaked public information? And fuck the 99% of people that don't follow obscure internet forms.

Broken clock man. Mostly just paying attention to certain trends in IT and I’ve got a particularly good ear on Oracle.
## Speaker_2: ##
Dam, seeing this is making me reconsider going long oracle long term. What makes you think its a bad company I am really curious ? Larry Ellison has been bullish as fk since he founded this company so its hard to trust anything he says for the future of the company...
## Walls1337bot: ##
reposting this because I've been talking shit on Oracle and I feel I should back myself up; ER date should be announced tomorrow and to be safe i'd guess it'll be the 20th, ~~risky play is to buy 12/14 before the IV shoots up and cross your fingers it's the 13th~~ - either way, get in now before it's announced
Oracle doesn't move all that much honestly, my DD was that the rise since previous ER was bogus for a couple of reasons, all of which are long term negative
1 - SAP HANA - SAP hated Oracle so much they created their own database platform and give it out for free to their CRM clients, so that those clients no longer need Oracle licenses. This has been going on for a couple of years, but this year especially has seen a big uptick in organizations who were able to plan and migrate their production systems off Oracle.
2 - Oracle's cloud division(s!!) - Oracle cloud has two products, cloud and legacy cloud. They do the same thing. These divisions compete internally for customers. These divisions are full of middle managers that are often located several states away from their actual developers (the legacy cloud product develops out of Seattle but management is in the bay area).
3 - Cloud revenue - Oracle had been reporting cloud revenues as a separate line item for at least a year, but last quarter lo and behold they decided that it didn't reflect well on their business and decided to stop doing it. Investors rewarded that lack of transparency. That's fucked up.
4 - CRM - Oracle's CRM tool is trash. People that choose it are short sighted idiots who are either too simple to figure out how to use SAP or too stupid to get Salesforce instead.
Every developer on the planet hates Oracle, their licenses are too expensive and their support is trash. The organization is chock full of middle managers and people waiting out their stock vest. SAP and Salesforce are eating them for lunch, and legacy applications that use Oracle databases are either being phased out or upgraded to not require it. Oracle needs to die.

Every person in this astonishingly broad community of dumpster divers has internet access? Who are these people?
## Speaker_2: ##
Internet access isn't not some luxurious privilege in the modern world. Libraries give access to the Internet, same with Internet cafes. Hell you can get an old laptop or even smart phone for nearly free with how often people cycle through them for the latest model. Then it's just a matter of sitting in a coffee shop.
It's like how people always point out refugees with cell phones. This isnt 1992. We literally send ship loads of old phones to developing nations every year, not to mention the dirt cheap phones produced in China that can be sold in places like Afghanistan but not in the west.
## Speaker_1: ##
Okay, but (1) the linked post is from 2008, only 7 months after the iPhone was first released and (2) there's a difference between having internet access and browsing the internet so fucking hard that you can't resist participating in a forum dedicated to dumpster diving.
## Speaker_3: ##
Free internet access was still prevalent shit McDonald’s had free WiFi then. And everyone has their thing I knew a train hopper who made time on his stops to update his blog on stray dogs he met in each city and what gas stations had the best tap water in the bathrooms.

[Mike and his Whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVve34yolHY43YaBegHMzN9WjrTnQfFr) is a good place to start. I would recommend opening a Tastyworks account and load it up with like $1000 once you have the concepts down. I never liked paper trading because I feel like no one takes it seriously because there is no risk. I didn't learn shit until I put real money down. I recommend tastyworks when first starting out because $1 commissions is extremely low and you can get full options permissions from the start (other brokerages you apply for options levels).
Vertical spreads are nice for new traders and with low account balances, you can scale up and down with the width of the spread and can be both bullish and bearish with verticals.
Here's a few articles to read a bit further if you're interested in starting with verticals.

We want /u/Volte next moves, not OP.
## Speaker_2: ##
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but I think it's pretty obvious the market is being heavily manipulated by a bunch of dudes with a stupid amount of money.
- DD -> Basically every day for the 2 weeks leading up to christmas have been the same. Green futures -> rally until 11:30 -> crash into red EOD. I assumed that once enough people started figuring out the pattern, it would go the opposite way. Red futures -> dip until 11:30 -> reverse. I wasn't expecting the triple reverse today, but the end result was the same. If you look at my post history, I called out the reverse almost down to the minute. I was off by about 60 seconds.
Tomorrow I'm guessing that we have green futures and another triple reverse into a red EOD. This strategy seems to shake a lot of people out of their positions, and the only winners are the traders with fuck loads of money.
My current moves -> I have TLRY and NFLX puts out to March I bought about a week ago. I figure that the momentum is going down, but sharp rallies will shake people out of their puts. I bought 1 grand worth of AMD calls (2 weeks out, $18) for today when AMD was around $17 to hedge myself a bit just in case I ended up being right. Anyways, those are my current thoughts. We'll see if this ends up being right tomorrow.
## Speaker_3: ##
So what's your short and long term forecast?
## Speaker_2: ##
- Long term - If Trump doesn't get rid of China tariffs, we are headed down. Powell has made it clear that he's willing to cause a recession to get interest rates up. Honestly, b/c of Trump's way way way too early tax breaks, Powell doesn't have a choice. If trump would have waited until maybe mid 2019, things probably could have been held afloat.
- Short term - Probably 3/4 days will be red, with 1/4 days being green. Friday will most likely always be red b/c during high volatility (VXX is insane right now), a lot of people do not want to hold positions over the weekend.
but hey, this is Trump we're talking about. Anything could happen. He could get fucking impeached tomorrow. Who knows?

Here’s the problem with making fast, easy money. It’s a drug. And there’s no finish line. You think you’d be happy hitting 100k until you actually get there and want even more. It’s like saying, “I’m going to keep shooting up heroin until my body is content and no longer needs it anymore.”
This is one reason why casinos are profitable businesses. It’s incredibly difficult to win a lot of money, shut off your happy brain chemicals, and decide to walk away with it.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well, there is a point where I’d stop. The issue is that for a lot of people the end goal isn’t having money, it’s *gaining* money.
You could have 100bil but you still wouldn’t be content unless you bet half of it on MU $50 calls and it came through.
For me, if I ever end up with >10mil AUD, I’m done. No way I’d risk it and that’s plenty enough for me to live how I want to.
## Speaker_2: ##
>if I ever end up with >10mil AUD, I’m done
I've determined that I would stop at $500,000 USD. All I really want is to be able to live comfortably without working (for somebody other than myself that is) for a year or so, while I am still young.
But even at 250k like OP, I would take 240k out, and then trade with a fresh 10k account.
## Speaker_3: ##
500k is nothing these days. I mean its good, but not if you dont have income. If you retire with 1m, youre pretty much broke.

"Relative" to such a small amount that it doesn't matter (nanoseconds). Definitely not long enough for you to feel like Trump hasn't tweeted in a while due to you being on another location on Earth.

April 5th is the beginning, today MannKind received the rights to Afrezza back from Sanofi.
So, now they can start releasing info about their commercial plans and handle things on their own instead of letting Sanofi mishandle it. It was in Sanofi's best interests to push their current insulin lines rather than pushing this competitor to market. No one said April 5th was going to be the day it goes to the moon, today is the day that Houston starts the countdown.

## Speaker_0: ##
Deepthroat blogspot IPO (google it) - that dude has been on a crusade against the flow of funny money and the use of dual currencies in China for 3-4 years now and has explained it way better than I can
Chinese ADR/ADS scams always seem to surprise US investors and yet they have been happening in various forms for decades now, seem to cycle through every 3-5 years
This one is going to be exacerbated by trade wars and the wanton printing of currency and government funded loans, as well as the purchase of US treasuries, that the CCP has been ramping up for the last 3 years
Downside protection is tough because we are talking about the global financial system, but long dated puts on Chinese companies would be a start
American real estate has also been a huge benefactor of the currency flow out of China, so shorting financial institutions with a heavy mortgage portfolio is again in play

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but I think it's pretty obvious the market is being heavily manipulated by a bunch of dudes with a stupid amount of money.
- DD -> Basically every day for the 2 weeks leading up to christmas have been the same. Green futures -> rally until 11:30 -> crash into red EOD. I assumed that once enough people started figuring out the pattern, it would go the opposite way. Red futures -> dip until 11:30 -> reverse. I wasn't expecting the triple reverse today, but the end result was the same. If you look at my post history, I called out the reverse almost down to the minute. I was off by about 60 seconds.
Tomorrow I'm guessing that we have green futures and another triple reverse into a red EOD. This strategy seems to shake a lot of people out of their positions, and the only winners are the traders with fuck loads of money.
My current moves -> I have TLRY and NFLX puts out to March I bought about a week ago. I figure that the momentum is going down, but sharp rallies will shake people out of their puts. I bought 1 grand worth of AMD calls (2 weeks out, $18) for today when AMD was around $17 to hedge myself a bit just in case I ended up being right. Anyways, those are my current thoughts. We'll see if this ends up being right tomorrow.
## Speaker_3: ##
So what's your short and long term forecast?
## Speaker_2: ##
- Long term - If Trump doesn't get rid of China tariffs, we are headed down. Powell has made it clear that he's willing to cause a recession to get interest rates up. Honestly, b/c of Trump's way way way too early tax breaks, Powell doesn't have a choice. If trump would have waited until maybe mid 2019, things probably could have been held afloat.
- Short term - Probably 3/4 days will be red, with 1/4 days being green. Friday will most likely always be red b/c during high volatility (VXX is insane right now), a lot of people do not want to hold positions over the weekend.
but hey, this is Trump we're talking about. Anything could happen. He could get fucking impeached tomorrow. Who knows?

What are your total gains using this method?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I can't comment re my work, sorry. Personally, around 15%/year on average. Last year was fantastic at about 40%. This year I'm down about 8%. In all honesty, I could *likely* day-trade for myself as a living, but I prefer it much more as a hobby.
## Speaker_1: ##
Only 15%/year? I'm disappointed. :(
## Walls1337bot: ##
So, that's the "accurate" number from when I started trading (my 18th birthday) on an average per year basis. IE: Year 1 I lost 10%, year two I lost 3%, year 3 I made 10%, my average would be a 3% loss.
But my trading has changed SUBSTANTIALLY over the last 7 years. Namely, my most recent years have had a LOT more capital involved. So I suppose a better number would be my net % gain over the last 7 years averaged. Doing that it actually winds up being about 40%, a number much closer to my average gains per year over the last three years (36%) and arguably more "accurate."
For reference:
2013 - ~50%
2014 - ~20%
2015 - ~40%
## Speaker_2: ##
> Year 1 I lost 10%, year two I lost 3%, year 3 I made 10%, my average would be a 3% loss.
isnt that incorrect since you are referring to gain on gain?
0.9 * 0.97 * 1.1 =0.9603 =4% principal loss over 3 years
3rd root 1.04=1.013159 so just over -1.31% average per year
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not sure who downvoted you as you ARE correct. I really didnt explain myself well.
What I was trying to say is, the way I arrived to my 15% number WAS (on purpose) via a quick-and-dirty but ultimately incorrect way. I just didnt want to have to go through all the math for one reddit comment, so I just did dirty averages. The way you described however, would yield the most accurate result IF I did not change my capital pool over the years.

My "dates" are usually a hike or smoking weed leading to hooking up or ill train her to squat, because every girl wants to squat. And teaching her squat always leads to fucking.
## Speaker_2: ##
How do you do the squat to fucking progression? I wasn't aware it was a thing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You got your hands on her hips showing her how to bend over. If you can avoid seeming like a perv for an hour or two, she'll be getting horny af. There's gonna be a good bit of sexual tension. Obviously you gotta make a move at some point. I do this in a garage gym so I can make a move right there in private. I have a few friends that are actual personal trainers, too, and they end up banging a lot of their clients. I also knew a few chicks that would look for a trainer and then obviously be fucking them until that's over. Its more common than I thought. If you think about it, the trainer is in an authority, usually strong with good posture, shes using her butt muscles and you're guiding her hips. The hardest part is not smacking that ass the first time you see her squat in yoga pants.

Condemn Russia for being allied with a Gas Killing Animal, then imply he has missiles neither country can stop.
Backtrack an hour later and ask them to stop the arms race. Offer to fix their economy.

(Nevermind that that's not how unemployment is calculated and that we're at a low for people in the labor force holding multiple jobs.)

No, it actually is a crime.
Under the SEC act of ‘34 research analysts cannot in any way be involved in the brokerage aspect of a firm. There’s a LOT of restrictions on any interaction between the teams. Most banks even go so far as to put them on separate floors.
Banks can seriously be closed down for enabling a conflict of interest, and you can easily be barred from securities work by the SEC and pay massive fines as an individual for taking part.

Then I will do the opposite of that.

Seriously. "Tax reform is going to be YUGE!" down ~3% today
## Speaker_2: ##
It's almost as if its just hype to lower taxes for the extremely wealthy
## Speaker_3: ##
Oh yeah man, that sweet 1% reduction in millionaire's tax brackets. Such sellouts to the rich.
## Speaker_4: ##
Also, a sweet deal on estate tax and higher corporate profits will go to shareholders (which will mostly flow to the rich)
## Speaker_3: ##
Yeah, a sweet deal that we take less of your property for the second time once you die and can't defend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-sA-NqMlvI
>higher corporate profits will go to shareholders (which will mostly flow to the rich)
You clearly do not understand how stock ownership works, puzzling given your presence on this sub. A company earning more revenue doesn't mean a larger percentage just gets handed over to shareholders. At best you can say if the company gives out dividends, they might increase.
What is going to happen is reinvestment and expansion, same things that always happen when companies get larger profits
## Speaker_4: ##
What’s going to likely happen is a one time share buyback/dividend increase. If business conditions are good then some expansion.
The shareholders might invest back into the economy but it’s going to come at the cost of a lot more debt.
## Speaker_3: ##
If this was a one time immediate payout I could see that, but we're talking about (hopefully) long term tax rates slashed. I assume we can look at European countries as examples, their corporate tax rate is as low or lower than this new one, and I'm not seeing this cycling of wealth in between the hands of the top 1% pre-income tax.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Even the CEO’s themselves admit they won’t be hiring or expanding. Buybacks are the most likely option.

That shit is vile. I still remember the Starbucks in Charlotte Airport Terminal B where I got my first and last pumpkin spice latte. Ruined my week.

Exactly how I feel when people bitch about their min wage job not able to support a family. Min wage is for teenagers. If you are still getting min in your 30s then you failed in life.
## Speaker_1: ##
Move to the Rust Belt for a year and tell me how many non-min wage jobs you can find. My mother had a CPA w/ degrees from a very good university and couldn't find any job in our mid-sized metropolitan area (100,000) in Rust Belt, PA for years til we moved.
Also, I know 50 year-old-engineers who've been jobless for many years because nobody is hiring experienced people anymore, who've been forced to take jobs close to min wage.
## Speaker_2: ##
Yet you addressed the solution right in your post... you moved, and (I assume) found greener pastures!
## Speaker_1: ##
Right, cause that's so easy for most people. My dad's job was not portable so she was stuck without a job for literally 15 years.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's fucking ridiculous. Go work a shit job while searching for your position, don't just make zero income sheesh.

I’ve worked there over 5 years. It was alright, you can move up quick for better pay if you apply yourself. I recently put in my two weeks. I found a much better job and I’m so much happier! Friday is my last day at shitty Amazon. Later, assholes!!
## Speaker_1: ##
> you can move up quick for better pay if you apply yourself.
&#x200B;
feel like this is applicable to most entry/low level jobs at larger corporations. Theres usually some space above you that you can fill if you really apply yourself.
## Speaker_2: ##
Usually. I worked at a call center with 1 director, 1 manager and 30 employees. Manager and director stayed for 10 years. There was no moving up. Just burnout and turnover.
## Speaker_3: ##
I’m sure he means huge Fortune 500 companies like Coca Cola, Target, Amazon, etc. Not small companies that have less than 200 employees or something
## Speaker_4: ##
Yeah anyone can work at a restaurant and become an assistant manager in less than a year.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Maybe assistant to the manager.

All I know is we’re never getting MU to 100 with this bullshit attitude you’re touting. What’s next? Max out my 401k? Diversify? Have an emergency fund? Put my kids through college? Stop filing as exempt from withholding? Stop drinking mouthwash?

That's why you have trailer breaks, everyone knows that when you get into trouble you pull the Johnny bar and it will straighten you back out.
## Speaker_1: ##
Brakes
## Walls1337bot: ##
Maybe u/moewelds means he has a lever that breaks the trailer off from his truck. Implying when things start going bad you save yourself and say "good luck" to anyone following behind you who now has to deal with your runaway trailer.
## Speaker_2: ##
No, that’s when the banks sell junk bonds to one another, then take short positions with a third bank against those bonds they just sold.
## Walls1337bot: ##
"Hello state farm! I'd like to increase the coverage on my trailer policy."
