I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted - that seems to be good advice
## Speaker_1: ##
That fucking sub is so god damn cringey. Literally every fucking retard who posts advice on that subreddit recommends putting 90% of your income into Bonds since the stock market is too risky for a 20 year old.
If you post anything with actual advice regarding investments, including the purchase of individual stocks (those fuckbois only trade commission free ETFs that guarantee underperform the fucking SPY) then they downvote you or ban you for "trolling" or some dumb shit.
Not even joking. Go look at like the Top posts from the past month and you'll see some shit like how a 25 year old is debt free and makes 70k a year and those dudes will guarantee tell him to buy some shitty as fuck ETF

maybe if your rent wasnt so high you wouldnt be so poor
## Speaker_2: ##
Well, it's two months worth of rent (Oct and Nov), including my 3 roommates' rent. Should I tell my roomies I made 80% gainz on their rent checks? Even then, my portion of the rent is still more expensive than my sister's mortgage payment.
## Speaker_3: ##

Whatever, not once have they ever paid me rent on time, but I (usually) pay rent on time, so I front like $2500 every damn month. Payback.

This is a troll. Broker would of liquidated when margin call was at 40%. Under 40% makes federal margin call.

I think he said it happened overnight, so he was positive and then he went negative the very next day. If I were to guess, it might've been Walmart or Kroger on Friday
## Walls1337bot: ##
It doesn't matter, the liquidation should happen the moment you touch that 30-40% mark (whatever it is).
It should not have run near -100% - either the broker is not performing their due diligence and is in for a massive lawsuit, or that guys lying. Something tells me its the latter.

So get rid of the FED then got it
## Speaker_2: ##
The worship of the Fed is hilarious. It was literally created in a secret meeting by the same bankers who created the "financial instability" of the early 1900s and then sold to Congress. Inflation was 0.5% per year before the Fed and the dollar has depreciated 95% since it's creation and people still jerk off of it like it has cured cancer.

Do you even math, bro? Average inflation was low. You see those green lines on the chart? They take away from blue ones.

What’s crazy to me is that AI has to be 100% perfect for us to accept it, meanwhile 3000 people die a day in car crashes caused by humans ��
## Speaker_1: ##
I think the concern is that there are relatively few driverless cars out there, so you have to look at more than just the total number of deaths attributed to driverless cars vs traditional accidents. I'm not saying that driverless cars aren't or won't be safer, just that it's something that needs to be taken into consideration.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The driverless cars drive almost 24/7 though, clocking far more hours than any normal driver.
Just because there are less doesn't mean they aren't driving more.
## Speaker_1: ##
Driverless cars are clocking more hours than traditional drivers, but there is no way that all driverless cars are clocking more total hours than all conventional cars. So you can't just say 1 to 3000 deaths and call it a day, because that's disingenuous.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm not, but when you compare casualties via transportation, there are multiple measurements.
For example, the the aviation industry always uses "deaths per km" to quote safety to the public, while internally insurers use "deaths per journey", where air travel is more dangerous than most other forms of transportation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_safety#Transport_comparisons
Overall the conclusion if you compare driver-less vs a driver driving the same amount of time / distance is that autonomous is far safer (less accidents per km, less accidents per 'trip').
As more time goes by though, we may indeed see more casualties and the rate will go up.

AMA request:
1. How old are you
2. What do you do for a living
3. What will you do if your positions net a 20%+ loss
Thank you
## Speaker_1: ##
1. Graduated college last year
2. Software engineer
3. Do nothing and continue living
my parents are middle class immigrants who had no money until their 30s or something so even if I lost everything my standard of living would still be substantially better than what I had growing up, which is more than adequate for me.
## Speaker_2: ##
How did you get all this money if you just graduated from college?
## Speaker_3: ##
Daddies money there is no scenario you get that right out of college even if invested in an early growth stock. Somewhere down the line he got contributions from someone. And a fresh graduate software engineer won't pull I'm that money. He's making this play cuz his parents are rich and he can afford to lose.
## Speaker_1: ##
categorically untrue comment from some jealous guy
to be clear, I got my money from taking my internship money, then betting on brexit at long odds, then Trump at long odds, then taking all that money and putting it in <cant mention or else I get banned> but it starts with "c" and ends in "currency"
## Speaker_4: ##
Alright seriously tho, explain how you can have that much to spend only a year out of college, as a software engineer? All evidence points to the money being given to you
## Walls1337bot: ##
If he went to one of the big 6 he might have negotiated a nice starting bonus. That plus being able to toss in 3-5k/month would do it. Then the rest would be yolo calls working in his favor.
## Speaker_4: ##
There are taxes, there are living expense (especially in the cities where they offer 100k+ salaries) there are loans you gotta pay back. There’s so much Shit. Your entire salary is not being deposited straight to your bank. After you pay all your shit you get to save maybe 40k tops and I mean tops if you live frugal as fuck.
I’m not anti windfall or jealous of it, I’m getting almost 2m bucks in windfall, I don’t hide it or try to play it off as something I worked for.
And no yolo calls by law of statistics never work long term. See: gamblers ruin
## Walls1337bot: ##
Depending on school and everything loans might be cheap. I left with 40k in loans. Could do better than me too and not be a dummy and get more scholarships than I did. People taking on 100k+ of debt with no marketable skill are dumbasses lol.
Starting out of college probably looking at 130k-200k total comp from the big boys. If your under that at the big ones you're probably a meh recruit. If its netflix that going to be mostly cash too. And if you aren't living it up you can cram a lot of people in a single apartment. Find a 2 bedroom with 4-5 ppl in it and you can cut expenses for the year down to 40-60k. After taxes leaving you with ~40-80k. And then there's the starting bonus to top it off.
Also this might be the yolo he loses on. That's why its entertaining lol

oof, that flat line section really speaks to me.
its that point where you've lost a ton so you say, "let me take a step back here and process my mistakes, I will learn what I did wrong and make all this back once I boost my confidence back up"
then, you've licked your wounds, the spark is renewed, maybe a few posts make the front page of wsb showing a 800% gain in one week... accounts are being reborn, like a phoenix I will post my triumphant return!
of course, the rainman numbers start flying through your brain as you get amped more and more each day watching the market, patient, feeling the market, seeing your chance, your sure thing, your first step on the road to a disciplined account recovery.
You tiptoe in with a small scalp play, 10-20% of account, looking for a 25% gain, in and out, disciplined, thats the way us seasoned pros do it, you just need a win, any win to get the freight train rolling.
You get that win, hey this is easy, you're like a options hawk, an owl scooping up all those clubrat gains. So you pounce on your next sure thing, 80% of account, leaving enough to double down if it doesnt go your way. doesnt go your way. doesnt go your... way. why is this not going my way.

Why tho? This is not something I’d expect coming from a republican congress. Are they that retarded? Is this their idea of “simplifying” the tax code?
## Speaker_1: ##
The entire purpose of this tax bill is to give the very cream of the crop a bigger cut while offsetting it with taxes on everything else to hide the fact that 99% of the population is fucked. It's bullshit all around. A million different ways to do a proper tax bill that could actually get bipartisan support and pass through normal legislation rather than reconciliation, but that apparently can't be allowed to happen because the very top dogs need everything at the expense of the rest of us.
## Speaker_2: ##
Describe how the "cream of the crop" (super gay btw) would benefit from this.
## Speaker_3: ##
You forget, when they die, all their assets have their basis stepped up, and by removing the estate tax, their heirs get everything tax free. So fifo won't matter because the basis is evened out.
So the cream of the crop is just fine with this.
(I commented on the wrong thread at first, stupid mobile )
## Walls1337bot: ##
I don't get why the estate tax removal is a bad thing. Barring the 1% and their tax havens, most middle and upper middle class people have already paid taxes on all their assets. Why should they have to pay another tax to give it to their children?

To the children, that's still income. It's a net influx of assets. Why wouldn't it be taxed?

Of all these points the last one is most telling. Tesla is up against a set of massive, battle hardened competitors. Why anyone is expecting these guys to roll over on EVs because first mover escapes me.
## Speaker_1: ##
Because they have a history of rolling over on EVs.
GM famously murdered all their EV1s.
Roger Smith (CEO of GM at the time) unveiled the GM Impact at the 1990 Los Angeles auto show. It was an all electric vehicle.
Ford made the Ford Ranger EV pickup.
Chrysler made the TEVan.
Honda made the EV Plus hatchback.
Toyota made the RAV4 EV.
Nissian made the Altra EV.
Don't remember those cars? Neither does anybody else because they all failed miserably or were killed off because the "big boys" couldn't make them work.
>
In an August 2009 edition of The New Yorker, GM vice-chairman Bob Lutz was quoted as saying, "All the geniuses here at General Motors kept saying lithium-ion technology is 10 years away, and Toyota agreed with us – and boom, along comes Tesla. So I said, 'How come some tiny little California startup, run by guys who know nothing about the car business, can do this, and we can't?' That was the crowbar that helped break up the log jam."
Also, Tesla has been around for a decade and has made their plans well known. If any of the other auto makers wanted to compete against them, they've had plenty of time.
## Speaker_2: ##
It didn't make sense at the time. The infrastructure for EV wasn't there, and neither was the demand. Gas has recently been ridiculously cheap, as well. Battery quality for EVs was questionable, and replacing them was insane.
The SECOND that the big boys decide EVs make sense, and jump on it (and all signs point to flagships in 2019 and 202), Tesla is doomed. Hell, Nissan has sold more Leafs than all the Tesla models combined.
## Speaker_1: ##
Don't give me that infrastructure bullshit. Power outlets are everywhere and majority of charging done by Teslas is at home. Don't tell me that consumers can't handle it either. If they can charge a phone, they can charge a car.
These are poor excuses for other auto makers.
Why are they letting Tesla get such a huge headstart in today's market? Don't give me crap about "first come the innovators, then the imitators...blah blah. They just want Tesla to make all the mistakes first." Tesla is very far from the first auto company to make an electric car.
I've been around cars my entire life. Born, raised, and breath them. Nobody gets excited for cars anymore but somehow Tesla has the magic to make over 300,000 people blow their loads and put a deposit down. That's something to perk my ears at.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> huge headstart
Tesla has sold, what, 200k vehicles? And losing a fuck ton of money in the process?
If and when they can make a profitable $35k Model 3, I'll believe. I don't think they can sustain their cash burn to get to that point.

Fucking nice.
One of my buddies earlier this year said DT is one of the best presidents ever. I asked why, he said you should see my 401k. He went on to explain how he’d modified his 401k to be more aggressive, to take advantage of the wild growth.
I saw him over Christmas, and he off hand mentioned he wouldn’t be voting for GOP any more. I asked him why, he told me to shut the fuck up because I knew why.
## Speaker_1: ##
Then everyone clapped
## Speaker_2: ##
Nothing ever happens.
## Speaker_3: ##
I mean obviously the past few months have been bad but it’s still way up since his election so it really doesn’t make sense to go from greatest president ever to I’m never voting for his entire party again because of a flat year in the stock market.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> He went on to explain how he’d modified his 401k **to be more aggressive**, to take advantage of the wild growth.
Excuse my ignorance, but would this not potentially imply increased risk taking, possibly resulting in losses that would wipe out growth from earlier?

It doesn't, but... it increases perception of success in his company. Remember, his employees are overworked and underpaid, but they all get options.

A mass quitting or strike would be the end of the company at that precarious moment.

That's from Wikipedia. It's general knowledge.
## Speaker_2: ##
Exactly, not designated terrorists. France never supported terrorists like Al Qaeda and ISIS. You're just parroting Iranian agitprop. Taleb has a softspot for Iran, Hezbollah terrorists and the Syrian occupation of Lebanon.

Well it's tantamount to denouncing Harris and Klebold after Columbine then saying "you victims kinda started it by bullying them so hard".
Yeah, there was *violence* on both sides. However, the degree of violence carried out by the white supremacists dwarfs anything the counter-protesters did.
Some counter protesters allegedly threw stones -- a Nazi drove a car through them, murdering one and maiming 19. To draw some sort of equivalency between them is fucking ludicrous.
## Speaker_2: ##

It's all on video dude, they showed up with bats and urine bombs and spray cans used as flamethrowers. Up until the moment that shitbag decided to kill people the radical left was *far* more violent than the fucking *nazis* and trump was right to call them out for that

Student debt, out of control auto loans.
Even climate change could fuck things for Long haul in a decade or two.

Student debt will be a big problem if more students are getting majors in fields that have lower pay or higher unemployment. They won't be able to pay off the loans, and it may delay other purchases likes homes and cars.

Agree with you here. It's real easy for students to get loans now... Don't Dems want that free education and put all that debt on all of us
## Walls1337bot: ##
if the tax payer paid for free education, the education would be cheaper. If entitled faggots get indebted, the compounding interest will hammer the gov't hard (eventually, later).

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: ##

Economics isn't bullshit. Politicians that ignore it or misinterpret it are the ones that make it look like that. If the people in government actually took a basic econ course we could have consistent 4% GDP growth.
## Walls1337bot: ##

I still can't believe that Elon is dating Grimes, no wonder he is through an emo punk phase
## Speaker_1: ##
Elon Musk honestly needs to shut the fuck up, cut out all these artsy morons from his life, and start acting like a CEO again.
The only reason Musky is still taken seriously right now isn't because there is still a critical mass of smart money that believes in him, it's because the general public has no idea what the fuck he's been up to over the past year.
I realized this when I sent this article to my friends and they were shocked that Musk was pictured with a goth emo chick, let alone dating her. My gf had no idea about Musky and his troubles until his pedo comment. They are all educated, smart, informed, successful people. Now imagine what the average Joe on the street knows of Elon Musk.
Only a matter of time before Musk memes break out of fintwitter and WSB and reach the general audience.

The ideal job would be a shitty office position where you're low enough on the totem pole to be left alone to trade during trading hours. Where you do some basic work but essentially they've forgotten about you. Where everyone thinks you're kind of a sad loser and just leaves you alone. You don't really get invited to things, people just forget about you and no one really asks what does that guy do.
## Speaker_1: ##
You just described my dream job
## Walls1337bot: ##
This was literally my job. I spent 85% of my day just sitting in a cubicle watching the S&P 500 and trolling on investing.com boards. Except I wasn’t a sad loser or thought of as a loner, in fact I was thought to be a high achiever because I did all my work and even came up with new ideas and projects, but most of them were easy and my understanding of tech and software in generally made it so I could finish things really fast. If you’ve ever worked in a cubicle in a big company you’d know that the bar is really, really low since the average employee is essentially a grandma who can barely be expected to reply to all their emails. Anything more than that makes you look like a stud.
## Speaker_2: ##
It's pretty amazing how high your expectations are when getting your first job.
You're nervous and have this image of companies working like clockwork.
That illusion is pretty quickly shattered when you see how mediocre most employees are. I was better than 80% of employees after a couple months with my first employer.
Sometimes I wonder how they get shit done. There are of course awesome people, and I guess they make up for the rest.
## Walls1337bot: ##
It’s funny and sad how you can be thought of as a model employee by just responding to all your outlook emails and showing up on time. Like that’s 90% of the job right there. 9% is not constantly taking phone calls from your kids or going over to your IRL friend’s cubicle in another department to chat multiple times a day. 1% is actually doing things.

## Speaker_2: ##
Can you cover margin and hold those shares? Everyone got ass blasted by options, mostly you it seems, but I'm absolutely certain the shares will be up a fuckton by this time next year
## Walls1337bot: ##
I could but I don't know if I can live a year like that. I have to figure out what my options are here. Either I close all my positions, take the massive hit and move on with my life, or I keep holding ATVI on margin and pay $30 a day for however long it takes. I'm losing out on so much sleep and my life quality has decreased by magnitudes from bagholding though and I don't know if I want to keep going like this. I haven't seen bagholding pay off so idk why it would pay off if I keep doing it.

Amazon said this would be an overall increase with the extras replaced by cash.
## Speaker_2: ##
Of course they said that. But bonuses were paid to better workers. So over all that may be true, but the hard workers are once again subsidizing the leaches. Socialism 101.
## Speaker_3: ##
The hard workers can probably get better elsewhere (if they have the balls to move)
## Speaker_2: ##
But they have to start at zero. The new employer doesn't know a hard worker until they see them working. It takes time to build a reputation.
## Speaker_3: ##
It’s doesn’t matter. If in fact the hard workers were getting the bonuses, they should be able to leverage for a hire salary citing their previous years pay.

Oil is selling so low up here in Canada that it's barely worth the drum it's stored in.
## Speaker_1: ##
Because you guys keep shooting down pipeline projects and can’t transport it anywhere efficiently. So it trades at a notable discount.
The stupidity is mind boggling.
## Speaker_2: ##
They have opened multiple pipelines in recent years. The real issue is that tar sand oil is more expensive than shale oil and wayyy more expensive than conventional oil.
## Speaker_3: ##
Duh, which is why Alberta needs pipelines approved to send their oil to refining centers in the US, the only facilities that can process it economically, which Trudeau is adamant at opposing, thus killing Canadian oil industry as US shale cuts it out of the market.
## Speaker_2: ##
Actually what we should do have plenty of pipe at the moment; not sure why you think more supply will ease issues with price cratering either.
The real issue, and what every alberta NDP advocates, is increased canadian refining capacity. Our oil isnt competitive but out infrastructure and work force are; why not enter the segment of the industry that benefits that?
## Walls1337bot: ##
You do not have plenty of pipe at the moment. WCS, dilbit, and other major Canadian blends are selling at a huge discount to what they normally would because of lack of transportation.

Just steal Yo, those door people wont do shit, especially if your loading stolen goods into a Range Rover.
## Speaker_2: ##
According to Costco those people are only there to check the prices and item count make sure you didn’t over pay for things. So, everything is free in Costco if you run fast enough I think.

Just keep your feet moving and drop your shoulder, Ray Rice those bitches,

You're a mid-high end department store and you make a political move pandering to the whiny liberals (low end demographic that can't afford to shop there) and the 1% (who shop at Saks). Sounds smart.
## Speaker_1: ##
Lol u realize whiny liberals have lots of money and are everywhere, right?
You're thinking of the REALLY whiny liberals who whine really loudly, they're poor AF, who cares.
But your run of the mill liberal normie is pulling in at least $60k a year at her job, which consists of showing off her tits in a Liz Taylor business suit 5 days a week. And she has Snapchat. And that $60k+ a year is all disposable income, thanks to her cadre of sugar daddies she scooped up on seekingarrangement.com (or instagram, if she's hot enough to be a Dubai porta potty) paying her rent and car payment.
Memes. Memes everywhere.
## Speaker_2: ##
$60k? Jesus fuck, have you ever even been to a coastal American city? That's new-grad entry level money.
## Speaker_3: ##
SF 9-5 pleb reporting in. Starting salary is 120k here
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah but that's basically 60k in SF

On the one hand, I hate losing money. On the other hand, this sub is like 100x more fun when people are losing money. Quite a dilemma.
## Speaker_1: ##
Funny thing is, Trump is right. When you are down 500 billion you can only win unless china wants to starve it's people. The dow is up big. I have a feeling he will win this one.
## Speaker_0: ##
No he's not. Losing our Chinese exports means a lot more to us than losing American exports means to China. They'll buy their soybeans elsewhere, no big deal for them. We don't have another seller of cheap Chinese goods waiting by. When half the goods in Wal-Mart go up 25% in price, and consumer buying power falls accordingly, you'll still say this is good for our economy?
Fighting globalism is like fighting the rising sun.
## Speaker_2: ##
China is dependent on our trade more than they want to admit. There are a dozen countries in SE Asia that have cheaper human labor costs. The only thing they don't have is a semiconductor industry.
## Speaker_3: ##
America isnt the only market with an entire economic group that can only effectively afford Chinese-made goods, you twat
## Speaker_2: ##
America can shop around and buy shitty goods elsewhere. China is over extended and needs us to not fall into another recession. China is going to stop buying our services and luxury goods?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah, like from where?
## Speaker_2: ##
Thailand, Cambodia, Laos. Pick a shithole, any shithole
## Walls1337bot: ##
LOL. If you think any of those countries can match China's production then you are actually insane.
