Is this nigga a hawk or a dove?
## Speaker_1: ##
New guy is hawkish
## Speaker_2: ##
Ha, yeah he is a little more hawkish than Yellen but, still very dovish compared to most.
## Speaker_3: ##
We are living in a time where Powell is considered a hawk and Trever Noah is considered funny. At this rate I might actually be considered a good investor.
## Speaker_4: ##
Trevor Noah is about as funny as a children's hospital

## Speaker_0: ##
Money isn't your problem. Look at your history: you're 20 years old, paying prostitutes for fake relationships, using hard drugs, losing all your cash on gambling. While you might be in good company here, that's all symptoms of serious sickness.
Your head's not on right. Forget about money and focus on that first. Because even if you get all your money back, and millions more, you're still living wrong, where that road won't go anywhere useful.
What you need to realize and drill into your every waking moment, is that **meaningless pleasure is worthless**.
* **Prostitutes** make me feel good like I'm winning *sexually*.
* **Drugs** make me feel good like I'm winning *happily*.
* **Gambling** makes me feel good like I'm winning *financially*.
Sex, bliss, money; it's all basic desires. We feel good when we're winning in life. We seek those pleasures, to win in life.
But you can stimulate them without winning using tricks that are actually losing.
* **Prostitutes** don't make babies or cook you food.
* **Drugs** don't cure the pain only temporarily mask it.
* **Gambling** doesn't produce anything but debt.
You're losing. You have an F on your test, but added a line to make it an A, and it felt good for a moment, until you see it's meaningless and you're still a failure.
The solution is to realize that stimulation, and feeling pleasure, is worthless if it has no real meaning.
Scoring with a chick doesn't count when you pay her. Feeling euphoric doesn't count when it's from a drug. Getting rich doesn't count if you didn't produce anything of value.
You've got it twisted. If you can't realize this truth, you'll chase empty stimulants to your death, and nobody will care because you weren't valuable anyways.
Do something real. Losing some money doesn't mean anything. I'm down around that much, and it's not depressing at all, because I know what matters. I'm building things, and that money is nothing but some play cash. What I build is what has value, because of its utility in helping people improve their life in practical ways.
I'm not paying for sex, or hitting it quick off an app. That's just distraction. If you want a woman, you work to get the resources to invite her into a real home, where you provide her with serious value. You can get your seconds of orgasm alone, without messing around wasting your time and money chasing cheap tricks.
I'm not gambling with anything I can't afford to lose. I don't pretend it's anything but pointless gambling, and don't blame myself when a trade turns red. If I make some gains, I don't pretend it means I'm skilled or valuable, it's just stupid luck, and meaningless money. I focus on building true value from real practical business.
If you can't get it straight, at least educate yourself on the likely [conclusion](http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods), and take steps not to mess that up, because you don't want to scar someone for life and mess them up too. But you should be able to figure this out, and realize:
Meaningless pleasure is worthless.
The way you know if it's meaningful or not, is to pretend there's no pleasure, and see if there's any other value. If you couldn't orgasm, or feel pleasure from a woman, what use would the whore be? If you couldn't get high, what use would the drugs be? If you don't have any real business needs for lots of money, then what point is it to be rich?
Pleasure is only worth something when it means something; when it has true practical utility. Find things you can do to stimulate yourself that way.
Like if you clean someone's gutters, and they pay you $20, you can feel good about that gain, because you did something useful. If you take a girl out and she kisses you because she likes you, and you have a future together, you can feel good because that could be your wife. If you exercise every day for months and feel bliss because you're healthy, then that's real.
You're not real. You're a cheater, cheating yourself. Recognize true value, and chase that, not empty thrills.

"Prostitutes don't make babies or cook you food"
Feel like the "Prostitutes don't love you back or want mutual happiness" might've been a better route....
## Walls1337bot: ##
Prostitutes also don't have a 66% chance to break your heart and take half your shit when they leave.
Edit: It's a zero percent change that a prostitute will break your heart and take half your stuff, unless you married a prostitute in which case I'm glad I'm not you.
I'm getting a lot of personal attacks, and while I enjoy receiving them(like any human with feelings) perhaps the energy would be better spent looking inward and finding out why I've triggered you so hard.
## Speaker_2: ##

Oops, I guess I should learn my place. Let me just go back to my ignorance corner where dumb people go to not be educated. You're obviously not interested in civil discussion.
## Speaker_2: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##

## Speaker_2: ##

## Walls1337bot: ##

## Speaker_3: ##
If you really think being uneducated and ignorant is a good thing and that being educated is bad, you're beyond redemption, buddy. I hope you're happy in your uneducated corner as you put it. Imma sit here with my knowledge and education and opportunities in life. You keep wasting away over there.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I honestly don't take pride in being ignorant. It was in jest. I was poking fun at the fact that the previous poster would rather start with insulting someone's intelligence instead of combating ignorance. Instead of civility and resources my statement was met with hostility and personal attacks. What they could have said, "Hey man, you're wrong, prostitutes will break your heart and take your shit. Here's why." But we don't see that do we? Nah, we get that garbage.
They were so heavily ingrained into their thought pattern that any conclusion contrary to their belief must be met with hostility. Instead of talking it out like an adult, they resorted to middle school name calling.
Classy.

What he actually said was "yes, but not on impact" when asked if he would want to die on mars.
## Speaker_1: ##
So from wind storm. Got it.
## Speaker_2: ##
Mars atmosphere is too thin for wind storms to actually cause major damage.
## Speaker_1: ##
That’s a interesting fact. I always thought they were insanely dangerous.
## Speaker_3: ##
They are dangerous just not for the reason you think, the danger (why rovers shut down or go into low power mode) is that they can last for a long time, and spread dust and sand everywhere, which can clog components or cover solar cells, thus preventing rovers from getting power.
If we were to colonize Mars they would be annoying as you would have to clean off solar panels and everything else, but not a massive threat, the wind itself would do nothing

You mean SAs allies or their actual troops? One makes much more sense
## Speaker_1: ##
From my understanding their actual troops. They have 15 brigades, reportedly 3 have been killed and captured. They have not responded yet or confirmed this. But there is video evidence
## Speaker_2: ##
This looks incompetent from a military perspective. SA has total dominance of the air and a ton more equipment and supplies. Yet somehow several brigades find themselves in an ambush with no way out?
Why didn’t they call in air support? Why didn’t home base send in backup after they were captured. You can’t transport several brigades quickly. They should have had ample time to send over every piece of expensive US equipment.
## Speaker_3: ##
>This looks incompetent from a military perspective... Why didn’t they call in air support? Why didn’t home base send in backup after they were captured
Because most of the Saudi Army has shit training. They got the weapons, they don't have the training. If they were as trained as the US army was then the Yemen war would have ended years ago.

if you have 4k to blow on the stock market
'no'
you shouldn't make a living doing this
in all seriousness congratulations on your first successful trade. I remember when I made a few hundred dollars trading silver back in 2010. It was fool proof, the company had just acquired several mines worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and I got in early. It was beautiful and I was on my way to glory, until the next week when the stock dropped 50%. It was $800, easy lesson learned. I didn't start trading options until I had been in the market for 6 years. If you play around with 8K it might be a bit of a harder lesson learned. Unless you're just fucking trolling here which I expect everyone is on this sub. GL HF and above all else just yolo the fuck out of that 8K
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm staying away from gold & silver. Too volatile. Retail is where it's at right now.
## Speaker_2: ##
Says who? Tf kind of research are you looking at????
## Speaker_1: ##
Look at the world.
## Speaker_3: ##
Let's look at the world. There are organizations using software far more sophisticated than you might think on hardware that has less latency to the trade than your PC has to the router it is physically connected to 6 feet away. These people are using algorithms to make decisions and execute trades faster than you can read the headline on a news article they just based a trade on.
## Speaker_1: ##
Here is my viewpoint- you can look at all the great charts in the world but nothing is 100% guaranteed. I've spent hours researching these companies before investing. Trust your gut. Invest in companies you fully believe in. Pull out when you get some decent profit & don't be greedy.

TL;DR
- Skreli received upwards of $7 million in investments from a handful of individuals.
- He lost all their money with bad short positions.
- As the months progressed he sent emails to the investors with completely false information.
- Eventually investors demanded their funds. Skreli had no money, so to avoid any lawsuits he paid the investors off with $7.5 million in Retrophin stocks. Billing them as "consultants" for his biotech company.

## Walls1337bot: ##
how does a negative balance work with margin? i thought your initial investment gets liquidated as soon as you hit a certain threshold so you never have to owe more than what you put in?
## Speaker_3: ##
Only if the broker can liquidate and there is a market to do so. All this thing did was drop like a rock ah
## Walls1337bot: ##
oh shit, so then in that case with little liquidity then you would owe a portion of the leverage as well. wow.

Yup, you lost all of your equity and some portion of what you borrowed from your broker

I'm starting to think the same thing. Most of their shit is baseless opinions. Like 9 out of 10 analysts agree a stock is going to go up $20 in 12 months. It's that one straggler that says the stock is overweight because he doesn't like the product. Then the price plummets.
## Speaker_2: ##
Do you know what overweight means? Ironic that you're criticizing analysts for talking out of their asses

Do you know what ironic means, Alannis Morissette? I was referring to Tim Arcuri's stance on MU saying that demand was cyclical. While true about 5 years ago, it's not even close to being true today...yet his article dropped the stock more than 5% from it's ATH in 30 minutes. Being a sell side analyst, I wouldn't doubt he made out like a bandit. That's just one example. Cost me thousands. Shit happens all the time...bro.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He is specifically referring to your ~~incorrect~~ *technically correct, the best kind of correct* use of the word "overweight." Overweight means the analyst thinks you should buy the stock, or 'overweight' it in your portfolio compared to your other position sizes.

Yahoo still has a lot of people using their mail platform. (Including me, the same email address since 1994.) They also own Tumblr and Flickr. Also Yahoo is still ahead of Bing on search engine usage and has a partnership with Firefox to be their default.

## Speaker_3: ##
I regret having used Yahoo for my email, but to be honest it's just too much trouble to figure out every site and app you have connected to an email address to switch.
## Speaker_4: ##
You make a Gmail account and you autoforward all your Yahoo emails to your Gmail. Gmail sorts it automatically (Regular emails, Social Media, Promotions) so you can automatically delete/filter a lot of shit.
## Speaker_3: ##
You still can't get rid of your Yahoo account, and their insecurity is still a problem unless you transfer every registration that's using your Yahoo email address. It sucks.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So you mark the mail from Yahoo with a label and slowly move stuff over. Maybe spend half a day getting the major stuff and check occasionally to make sure you didn't miss anything.

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.

$TSLA where the price is made up and the profit doesn’t matter
## Speaker_1: ##
Meh, could not care about their profit, CEO or share price as long as they keep making cars like my model 3.
The car is phenomenal. It makes me look forward to driving it every day. If reliability stays solid for the next few years I'll never buy from another manufacturer.
Special thanks to Otto's BMW for sales tactics that made me walk away from a 340i and put a deposit on a Tesla.

Chides Tesla owner for having to worry about in-warranty repairs at no cost to them.
Blissfully wastes all their hard-earned money on gas stations every week and ridiculous ICE maintenance costs.
Gas cars, where the warranty doesn't matter because most parts are designed to fail under "normal wear and tear".
Complain about TSLA stock all you want, but going from a gas car to an EV is like going from a basic phone to a smartphone. There's a reason why EVs--any EV, including the economy ones--have significantly higher owner satisfaction rates than gas cars and why Teslas are at the top of those lists.
## Speaker_4: ##
You guys always sound like an advertisement. Leave your portfolios at home. Also you rarely talk about the negatives
They’re cool EV cars but you can’t take them to a track and drive them lap after lap after lap like a standard car with an ICE. Automatic power reduction sounds awful. I just have to sit there and wait for the battery to cool down? Sounds fun. They have decent range in those cars now but how long does it take to charge to get the battery to %100? Instead of Gas and Go. And with the Model 3 you still have to pay to charge I believe.
I’ve riden in a model 3. Good acceleration but aside from that it’s a tech persons car. Not an auto enthusiasts car. And I’m glad they changed the front bumper style with the S. Looked terrible before with the oval-ish fake intake
If you want to go with the phone example, I’d say Tesla is the Apple of the car world. They’re under warranty but you can’t fix it yourself. At least Apple can just give you a new phone. Tesla doesn’t even have enough cars for the people who ordered one
## Walls1337bot: ##

I've come to the conclusion that LSC actually fucking hates real progress.
## Walls1337bot: ##
All their actions make sense when you apply the fact that "LSC doesn't actually hate capitalism, they just hate the rich because they're bitter and poor".

I'll take that bet.
## Speaker_2: ##
Keep in mind that there is roughly the same chance of you losing all your money as there is to you doubling your money.
To get 100k you have to double it,,
1k - start
2k - once
4k - twice
8k - three times
16k - four times
32k - five times
64k - six times
128k - six and a half times
That's around 0.5^6.64
which puts your odds of succeeding at 1%
Now, hiting the other 0.5 means you lose all your money each time, which means your chance of failure is 1-0.5^6.64
This means you arguably have a 99% chance to fail and a 1% chance to succeed.
This does not assume that you simply take a small loss or whatever, this assumes that you go **until** you hit 100k or go broke. As in, there are only 2 outcomes, you hit 100k or you lose it all.
Good luck... Lmao.
## Speaker_3: ##
The odds are much worse than that when you consider that finding an investment opportunity that has a 50% chance of doubling within a reasonably short time is almost impossible. Everyone on this sub is talking options, where doubling is certainly possible, but the vast majority of options expire out of the money... not many 50/50 double or nothing options out there. OP is doomed.

Almost like he does this on purpose.

“Trump is going to strike North Korea.”
“Ok, well settlenfor your nukes.”
“Trump is going to send back 12 million Mexicans.”
“Trump to let a million plus to stay.”
“Trump says he’ll yank funding on the f35.”
“Trump compromises for a cheaper Air Force one.”
You have to understand something here. One does not get rich by being foolish and impulsive, and ignoring advisors.

I'll sign that.
But only cause I like banning stuff not because I can even guess wtf that second forum is about
## Speaker_1: ##
The second one is basically people bitching about their shitty life situation and then blaming it on capitalism. Lots of "Long live communism, comrade!"
## Speaker_2: ##
I was banned from that sub for saying iphones wouldnt exist without capitalism.
## Speaker_3: ##
Labor made the iphone. The -ism just determines who gets paid.

He really did shitpost himself into jail.
90% of their motivation was how angry he made all of those investigators by laughing in their faces and shit talking them the whole time.
I’ll give him credit, I never expected him to land in jail and keep trash talking the whole way.
## Speaker_1: ##
The dude is a piece of shit but I think I might respect him a little for that.
## Speaker_2: ##
How is he a piece of shit?
## Speaker_1: ##
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, he hiked up the prices of Daraprim exponentially. If so, that's super scummy, and he's got such a snobby and arrogant attitude. But I respect that even when he possibly faces jail he never stopped being a shitlord.
## Speaker_3: ##
This is incredibly overblown. He hiked the price, but he never actually cost the end-customer anymore. Most people who get the drug receive it for free. The rest is covered by insurance companies, for whom it's really not that much - it's actually a piddly price compared to a ton of other drugs. Plus, the money made gets funnelled into research - it doesn't just go into buying steak dinners.
## Speaker_4: ##
Yes expect this screws the people without insurance, the charities trying to get this drug to treat third world nations with malaria and aids outbreaks etc. Most people who would need this drug can't afford insurance. So no it's not over blown he is trash.
## Speaker_5: ##
He supplied it for free to anyone who asked, and they did ask.
Get off the msm pitchfork bandwagon for one moment and read up, what he did was perfectly legal, that hasn't changed along with big pharma still doing it daily, perhaps hate the game rather than the player?
Don't see Americans rushing to actually change the rules of the game because that would fuck up the companies with rich pockets who do it on the daily, but they love shitting on Shkreli.
## Speaker_4: ##
Yeah he offered it for a dollar a pill. Except it was nearly impossible to do. Charities where told no they couldnt do it, they could afford it. So the people they we're helping couldn't get the pills. How do you expect people in poverty with no electricity to file for paper in another nation? Oh and the people state side who needed it? Yeah it was a long slow tedious process that resulted in most people getting the paper work kicked back and having to start over. It was bullshit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
What is your source on the other Nations thing you keep pushing? Turing only sells Daraprim in America.

[Here's](http://masttherapeutics.com/about-us/ceo-corner/#toggle-id-1) a letter from the ceo, in case you are masochistic enough to read this shit. Looks like cheap scotch tonight boys.
## Speaker_1: ##
sounds like they're going to harass patients until they say what they need to hear
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's what I like to hear!
## Speaker_2: ##
"You feel better, *don't you*?"
[slides $20 bill across the table]
## Walls1337bot: ##
I hope the money I invested goes towards bribes.

Despite how unprofessional UAL has been through this whole ordeal, people will eventually realize that cheap flights + prevalence of United in the aviation industry will cause people to flock back.
UAL might dip, but it'll come back. Hop in at $65.
## Speaker_1: ##
United isn't really *that* cheap though is it? A company like Spirit I feel would bounce back but this United demands somewhat of a premium. Hoping to be corrected though I only fly Spirit so I can lose more money on RH.
## Speaker_2: ##
United flies international.
## Speaker_3: ##
I fly spirit international all the time, unless you don't count South America.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wait there's a South United States?
