What happened to the 2016 "God Emperor" people in wsb?
## Speaker_2: ##
January 26th happened.
Wall Street is amoral in that if it's good for business, then it's good. Trump was fucking GREAT for business until then, at least in terms of stock growth, so WSB (the Id of Wall Street) was all about the "God Emperor".
Then he started doing unequivocally stupid shit, like sabre-rattling with North Korea, and more recently this tariff and trade war idiocy. These are bad for business, so now Trump is bad.
If he unfucks himself and starts making pro-business talking points again, he'll be the savior that rescued the good ol' USA from the Great Recession of The First Few Months of 2018.
## Speaker_3: ##
>Trump was fucking GREAT for business until then
Lmao, what exactly has he done for business? Which policies are you referring to there? The market has been following the same trend for the better half of a decade. Until recently.
## Speaker_2: ##
Did you read what I said, or did you just kneejerk to anything positive about Trump? Think, don't react.
I never said Trump did anything of substance that positively affected business. He could've been a fucking Speak and Spell with a GOP sticker and the results would've been exactly the same.
The point is, he was the guy behind the big desk when the S&P 500 went up 20% in a year. And that's why all the unwashed stock-watching masses loved him.

Tard here, why do I want to wait 30 days before rebuying?

if you wait 30 days and buy the same security, you avoid what's known as a wash-sale.
the IRS isn't stupid. they know someone could sell at a loss on december 30th and buy them back jan 2nd, for instance, and lower their taxes (because you write off losses) while maintaining the same number of assets.
so there is a rule that says if you rebuy the same security within 30 days, even if you sold it at a loss, that loss won't count and you won't be able to write it off on your taxes.
## Speaker_1: ##
So sell Dec 30th and buy back Jan 29th?

Ads.
Personally, I think their business model seems to be one of the better for ads, because the ads are built into how you use the app. You literally can't block them.
But only time will tell if it works out for them. If I were to guess, I would figure they succeed somewhat with monetizing the app, but not nearly enough. As a result of this, stock prices will plummet and Facebook will do a public take over at around $5 - $10 billion.
It comes down to how much Zuckerberg values users contra profits, but judging by Facebook's take-over of WhatsApp, he seems to go for users and data as his end goals.

This is interesting because technically it's a joke, but really it's the same shit as my stocks. Like what if gas shot up to 2000 dollars a gallon and op had purchased 300 gallons. Would they come after him for taxes? Like what's the cut off?
## Speaker_2: ##
It's when you sell. People tend to not sell gasoline they have purchased for their vehicle.
You also would not pay tax on stocks if you did not sell the shares/options.
## Speaker_3: ##
What if I used my stocks as currency, would I be taxed then?
## Speaker_4: ##
it would be treated as a barter and you would have to pay taxes on the fair market value of whatever you purchased.
i.e.:
You are in the 25% bracket. You trade a homeless man 300 shares of $RAD for the brand new rope he stole from the hardware store. The retail value of the rope is $10 so you now owe the IRS $2.50.

You can buy a nice used yacht from 2001-2006 40-60' and have about two years of running costs if she doesn't need any major work.
Though usually anything you want to take out I to big water should have major retrofitting so maybe one year of running if you plan on getting off the coast.

Isn't it 10% of the value you bought it for yearly?

Really depends on the boat to be honest. Thicker fiberglass = more solid. If you keep up with the maintenance, you'll go longer before haul outs/overhauls, etc.

## Speaker_2: ##
Retard here, why would his account let him do step 4? Like as opposed to letting the calls expire the IRA account provider just lets some random dude borrow half a million dollars?
## Speaker_1: ##
Ya that I'm not totally clear on. But basically by allowing options on his account he essentially has a margin account is my understanding.
In the money calls will always get exercised at close (I believe, someone can correct me). They won't expire worthless if they have some value. I think most brokerages will buy and immediately sell the shares for you. In this case he got stuck with the shares for the long weekend which could have been extremely risky but it ultimately worked out. I know if that happened to me I wouldn't be able to enjoy the weekend at all.

For any real number x, x divided by the empty set "Ø" is not infinity.
And you're a fucking moron if you think that it is.
## Speaker_0: ##
In set theory there really isn't a "division"; a \ b signifies items in a and not in b.
Also, mixing integer math and set theory is a cardinal sin.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Which is why you'd be a moron if you think you can divide by the abstract concept of an empty set. It literally makes no sense.

Why are you trying to apply set theory to this situation... it's not applicable. Did you like just learn about it or what?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm not applying set theory.
Picking a point that does not exist **is** the empty set. Which is the issue I'm pointing out. Picking a point that doesn't exist is not 0, and there's no reasonable reason to think that it is.
## Speaker_1: ##
If something doesn't exist, it's reasonable to say it's worth nothing. You're saying it should be value-less, but we're in the real world and dealing with things that are sold, bought and traded - and therefore always have a value.

The key is to split a small amount of your paycheck towards your trading account, while also making intelligent plays on stocks.

If you just stick it in an index money doubles on average about every 10 years. If you are beating that, you are doing better than most
## Speaker_2: ##
Well the sad thing is most people don’t even have money in any stocks or index funds. So just being invested at all is doing better than most
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah absolutely. I guess I should have been more clear tho and said "If you are beating that, you are doing better than most *of those with money invested*"
Its crazy how many people never take advantage of investments. Especially when you start young. Its like people cant comprehend the idea of compounding returns. It can literally make the difference between just getting by and eventually becoming successful. And its not like you even have to have a lot of money to invest. If people only took $50/week out of their pay and put it in a passive index fund (and started in their 20s) and kept doing it for 10-15 years all of the sudden you are only in your late 30s and have a really nice chunk of money that you could now take and open a business and completely change their lives.
50K invested in your 20s without ever adding a single penny the rest of your life will be around 800K at retirement. DOING NOTHING!! Almost a million fucking dollars from 50k simply given enough time.
My absolute favorite is when I try to encourage friends to start investing and they claim that the stock market is "only for rich people". With brokers like robinhood these days you could literally invest in $10 increments if thats all you could afford
Unfortunately a lot of people would prefer to struggle all their lives and feel virtuous because of it and blame their situations on those horrible rich people who keep them down

Once upon a time, and not that long ago, "normal" supermarkets didn't carry organic or speciality foods. You had to go to farmer's markets or inconvenient specialty shops to get things like almond milk, line-caught fish, any kind of flour other than wheat or corn meal, etc.
Supermarkets had a kind of gentlemen's agreement not to compete on "that kind" of quality. Or rather, they had all internalized indifference to that stuff, as a kind of absolute law of customer preference. Customers cared about big, red, perfectly round tomatoes and apples, not about where they came from or how they were grown or that kind of stuff. Or so the thinking went.
So most people picked their supermarket based on price and convenience, since that was really the only differentiator. A handful of dedicated hippies and vegetarians might trek to specialty shops or ethnic markets, but for most of America, groceries were a commodity.
Apples were apples, cooking oil meant Wesson, Crisco, or Philio Bertoli pseudo-olive oil (or store brand equivalents). You either went to the supermarket that had the best price on Cheerios or chicken breasts, or you went to the one on your way home from work.
Whole Foods bet against all that conventional wisdom, and bet correctly that:
1. *at least some* consumers would pay more and/or drive further, to get "boutique" groceries, for lack of a better term, andd that;
2. *enough* of those customers would be of a demographic that could and would support higher-margin prices across the board, to support a full-service supermarket with all the modern conveniences, versus just a little specialty shop with sprouts and soy milk.
Whole Foods bet correctly, and all over America, "regular" supermarkets began losing their most-desirable, least price-conscious, biggest-spending customers to Whole Foods, even while stores like Target and Wal-Mart were competing for their penny-pinching base.
Now, 10~15 years later, nearly every supermarket has a pretty well-stocked "organic" section, vegetarian options in the frozen food section, gluten-free choices, coconut oil, grass-fed beef options, etc.
Whole Foods forced them all to compete on that front. Whole Foods still does it better, but at significantly higher prices, and it's no longer the kind of qualitative difference of kind that it was maybe 12 years ago.
I hope they do well under Amazon ownership. They have forced the whole industry to up their game, in significant ways.
## Walls1337bot: ##
This is perfectly said. Yes, a lot of Whole Foods' products are pretentious or overpriced.
But they forced other supermarkets' hands in actually selling quality food. Do I believe local honey can cure allergies, and gmos are the devil? No. But grass fed beef, real olive oil, decent beer selections, quality charcuterie and cheeses, etc are objectively tastier, and it's thanks to Whole Foods that you can buy this stuff nationally now.
With the price cuts, economies of scale while integrating into amazon fresh, etc I can see them being a real player again, because they do a much better job of buying local products than their competitors, even after shifting to a single national buyer. They always have locally sourced ingredients pertinent to the area and culture of their store, which is a cool touch imo.
They just face tough competition now that Wegmans, Vons, and co are providing competitive products. They will stay alive imo, as long as they continuously push the boundaries on "trendy" foods. Being the only chain to sell duck fat is a game changer when that's what every "foodie" is buying.

He's phrased it in a misleading way. He didn't actually save $3000 in taxes, he just gets to report his regular income as $3000 less than what it really was, because of his market losses. So if his tax rate is 30%, losing money on the stock market has allowed him to pay $900 less in income taxes.

The commissions gofundme would receive on a $1B campaign ��
## Speaker_1: ##
Not only on that, its benefiting gofundme through the "splash effect" that the border wall campaign is having. Since there is an absurdly amount of high traffic going to the website because of the wall campaign, all other sorts of campaigns are getting viewers that ordinarily wouldn't see them and as a result donations which gofundme is getting a piece of. There's no way that the guy will raise the $1 billion or anything close to it, but by allowing it to stay up on the site gofundme wins because of all the additional donations that are coming through due to the "splash effect" of the increased traffic to their page.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would someone "not allow" the page exactly?
## Speaker_3: ##
The guy that started the campaign had Facebook pages taken down for promoting conspiracy theories.
https://read.bi/2BzpwoI
## Speaker_2: ##
What does that have to do with a GoFundMe page?
It seems rather arbitrary to remove a popular fund raising campaign page for something so unrelated right?
## Speaker_3: ##
It has to do with the integrity of the man behind the campaign. If it appears this guy has a history of misleading people for political reasons then they have a perfectly good reason to take it down.
## Walls1337bot: ##
No worries, I'm sure this conspiracy theorist will be sending those millions of dollars *straight* to the federal government.

You're literally not working for your money if you're investing capital in stocks. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't see the irony in your own post. Someone who works for $8 at Walmart is a much harder worker than someone who clicks buttons to invest their trust fund
## Speaker_2: ##
Bro tbqh if you invest in a shirty vanguard fund you never become rich you just stay on-curve. People here are risking sometimes a lot in order to better their lives and live above the economic curve. Staring at a checkout for all your life is the lowest effort thing possible. You literally risk nothing to gain nothing due to laziness and no desire to etter your position..
## Speaker_1: ##
Who's talking about risk? Of course investing $50k on FDs is riskier, but that doesn't make you a hard worker. This myth that the poor are lazy needs to die. It's just something middle class people who are one emergency away from bankruptcy say to make themselves feel better
## Walls1337bot: ##
It's not about how hard you work
It's about how valuable your contribution is.
Investing 50k in a startup might enable that startup to grow by 1000%
Investing 50k in gold does jack shit
Working for $8 an hour at walmart contributes very little value to the economy
Working for free while bootstrapping your own company can _potentially_ contribute a whole fucking lot
It doesn't matter how lazy the poor are or arent
It matters that they are either incapable of managing personal finance, or don't have skills or work ethic that makes them a valuable employee, or both.

Some trade war progress is better than no trade war progress. Start lining up Mexico, Canada, then the EU to put some heat on China. Also, combined, trade with Mexico and Canada is larger than the EU or China.
## Walls1337bot: ##
��this. A NAFTA deal strengthens Trump's position against China.
Now Trump&Co can build a list of Chinese companies that have ripped off US tech and ban them from selling into the US -- including anything with stolen components. Then, sanction any country that buys those products, focusing EU countries. That'd put the heat on EU bigly. Once EU gives in, we focus on Japan and expand trade with all other Southeast Asia countries with a revised TPP deal.

Depends on the wording of the loan. They do give "fuck it just make sure you pay us" loans for college but they do also have restricted that are supposed to go for tuition.

You left out car loans - literally as bad as student loans
## Speaker_1: ##
implying i got time to make OC. but car loans are really that bad too? damn nothing is stopping this market
## Speaker_2: ##
I read an article the other day about how 7 year loan durations are 'the new thing'. My friends thought I was crazy when I got a 3 year loan because "your payment must be so high!" I ended up paying it off 6 months early. These people amaze me.
## Speaker_3: ##
One massively overlooked issue with those long term auto loans is what can potentially happen if the car gets wrecked during the final few years of the loan. The car can depreciate to the point where it's worth less than what you owe on the loan. If the car gets wrecked, insurance will cut you a check and you'll probably be left with debt and no car.
But muh lower monthly payments amirite?
## Speaker_4: ##
This is a stupid metric. Take the loan that minimises the total discounted cost of capital. If you can get 70 months at 0 % why wouldn't you take it?
## Speaker_5: ##
Because for most people longer loan terms increases the risk of irresponsible economic behaviour.
Sure, if you get 0% interest rate, have the cash in hand, put it in a savings account and use that money to pay of the car, then that's a great financial decision. If you spend the difference in monthly free cash flow on weed and iPhones then not so much. It's a behavioural problem, not an economic one.

It’s definitely possible. In the past 5 years the highest the stock has been was $3405.00 per share. For 7.25 million dollars that would be roughly 2129 shares of the stock.

I also have MoviePass but the most mine has been worth is $.10.
I also could be horribly wrong.

Just looking at 2018, it started the year at $1,807.50 per share (January 2nd) - that’d be $64.18 at the current price for $7.25 million worth of shares. Throw some cost averaging in there and quite easy to be sub-$50.

these types of articles are so fucking useless honestly. just spitting bullshit so people get scared
## Speaker_1: ##
Do you want dips? Cuz this sort of fear mongering is what gets us our tastey dips. I say let them monger all the fear they want. My puts will love it, and my calls will love seeing people realize they were being retarded.
## Speaker_2: ##
Raise your hand if you’ve been stockpiling cash since 2017 waiting for shit to go on sale. Cuz... ����♂️

If you bought index funds or something you'd be up a lot the past year. Don't be stupid
## Speaker_3: ##
Until it drops 50% and they get twice the shares to get a 100% profit. Sounds pretty smart to me. Recession isn't far off it seems
## Walls1337bot: ##
People claim the next drop is around the corner constantly. They're usually wrong, and drops aren't as bad as 2008 usually, that was a serious edge case

Should I average down on 10,000 shares of HMNY at $30.00 cost?
## Speaker_1: ##
Idk i'm not your financial adviser.
In general averaging down is a shit idea and averaging up a good one. Cut losses. IN GENERAL.
IDK what to do with your HMNY pos
## Speaker_2: ##
wait, you're saying we should average up on our profits?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yep. When your position is in an uptrend, buy. Try to buy on small pullbacks but still above your initial entry.
## Walls1337bot: ##
better way to phrase it is that it can be very profitable to scale into an already profitable position you expect to improve
