Fucking finally, Trump doesnt fuck up for once. He knows "best stock market ever" is his biggest claim to fame, so he can't let that go until after midterms.
Green days ahead and then post-midterms pain starts.
## Speaker_1: ##
He doesn't fuck up for once? Willful ignorance or complete ignorance on the subject? Trump has done tons of things right. Best stock market, lowest unemployment since the 60s, tax reform, NAFTA removed and renegotiated to where Americans aren't getting fucked and Mexico actually likes their deal, reaction in Syria respected, China is hurting and starting to behave, etc

## Speaker_3: ##
Man, I'm actually really pro-socialist in general*, but I get so pissed when software engineers talk about seizing the means of production
Mother fuckers, you HAVE the means of fucking production. The means of production are a $200 laptop from Wal-mart, or if that's too much you can fish one out of a dumpster/use one at the library for free.
\* in terms of widely-available health care, education, etc to make for a functional society
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thats exactly right. They have talking points that most people can get on board with-
"Someone working a full time job should be able to have all their basic needs met. A medical condition shouldn't bankrupt someone. Corporations should not participate in exploitative or unethical practices."
Then you're like yeah, yeah that all sounds good. How to we accomplish that?
"We've gotta violently take from the wealthy and murder those who don't comply! Then we completely dismantle the government and destroy money! Then once that's all been burned down things will kind of work themselves out."

lmfao. youre supposed to go 50/50 on black and red.
like how the fuck do people lose money on roulettes. idiots.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wait wouldn't that just mean you sit at the table until you get bored? You'd lose one bet and recoup it with the other, which you'd win. My Grandaddy always said bet on black and odds, chances are you won't get red and evens, but you might get black and odds. I said, Grandaddy, wouldn't that still be a 50/50 chance? He said, shut up sonny, my age is bigger than yours so I know more. He was a wise man.
## Speaker_1: ##
If you can play and not lose, you win.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Fair enough, drinks are free, so long as you don't lose more than you drink you come out even, anything more than that is just gravy.
## Speaker_2: ##
everybody's saying that in this thread; do you guys seriously not tip the waitresses?
## Walls1337bot: ##
You tip in chips mate, not cash. I go in with my stake, turn it into chips, set down at a table and play. If I'm up when the waitress, or WAITER, comes by than I'm likely to give 'em a 5 dollar chip or more if I'm feeling charitable(drunk/high) and/or just won big like on splitting eights twice or what have you. I never have cash in hand for more than five minutes in a casino.
## Speaker_2: ##
I don't understand
## Walls1337bot: ##
Say I've got 30 dollars and I'm planning on whiling away the evenin at a 5 dollar black jack table, I'm not likely to give a tip every time a member of the wait staff comes by, if I have 6 o those itty bitty drinks that's a 5th of my stake for the night, 6 hands I coulda played. Now if I came in with 30 and I'm at 40, why then of course i'll tip a 5 dollar chip now and again and if I'm up more or I'm feeling kindly than I'll be fine givin it all away til I'm back to roughly even. When you're poor you tip what you can when you can. Wait staff makes upwards of 15 an hour plus tips at the casino I have frequented, not like they ain't being payed a fair wage already. Plus you gotta tip the dealer, especially when they're playing out a hot deck. Lotta times I play two hands, one for me, one for the dealer, especially if it's quiet and we've struck up a bit of a conversation. The dealers and wait staff all share tips, so however I give it, they all share in it, and the better my luck is, the better theirs will be in turn. Everyone in the casino is on the same team, cept for management, or at the poker tables.

You’re hypocrites. You lack self awareness and you’re wrong about everything.
I can say that with a fact because you’re all to big of pussies to try to defend your ideology.
You know it’s shit. You follow it because you can’t swallow you’re pride because you’re a piece of shit.

Need a source for this data, Mr. Trump.
Also curious what brick & mortar fag friends are telling him to attack Amazon?
He's going to tweet the market under moving averages and regret it. Or maybe he's trying to push it off the edge because he and friends are short and want cheaper stocks.
## Speaker_1: ##
I think he just doesn't care for the Washington Post, and decided to hit the owner where it would have the most impact.
## Speaker_2: ##
Fuck this orange faggot.
If my prime membership goes up because of this, even by two dollars, that’s two less dollars I can lose when I yolo on some MU weeklies.

I would much rather Amazon stop dumping Prime money on trying to be the next Netflix.
## Speaker_4: ##
Are you stupid? Your price is still the same. It's 100 dollars a year. The money you gave to Amazon 5 years ago gets you MORE services than it does now, and you pay the same rates.
Damn, you're dumb.

TSLA is the poster child of irrational markets. They haven't had a profitable quarter since they've been listed. Continue to miss major targets. Work their employees to death until they realize they can quit and have a better life somewhere else in the valley (brain drain). Oh yeah - the CEO and deity to many, Elon Musk, has a million other projects on the go and continues to serve as CEO for three different companies and used TSLA to bailout his failing enterprise, SolarCity (talk about conflict of interest). His cult following is so string that nothing short of a *Weinstein jerking off into a ficus tree scandal* can bring him down.
## Speaker_1: ##
So ... Amazon, except for cars and spaceships and solar panels?
## Speaker_2: ##
Except Amazon makes a profit and has a vast market share.
## Speaker_1: ##
Now it does, but it was years before it turned a steady profit. 2009 or 2010 if I recall.
Edit : and no before your autism strikes, I don’t mean a quarterly profit which was in 2003 or 2002, I don’t know cause I don’t suck Bezos cock each day, but I mean turned a profit overall. Either way it took years for them to get ahead. Not that I’m defending Tesla really as they should be *near* to making profits if we used amazon as the standard, which I don’t but whatever.

You're assuming he's holding until expiry dumb dumb.
## Speaker_1: ##
No, I'm not assuming that. Check my screenshot, closing the position feb 1 is not much better in the event of a pop
## Speaker_2: ##
You're assuming AAPL can go up after earnings. Google beat and didn't go up. And it's Google. There is no way Apple is going to beat, so why would it go up?? Also, in order to go up to $128, that's a 6% rise.
There's more to it, but I'll let you in a secret, my absolute secret: the best way to predict Apple's earnings is to look at their suppliers and how they reacted post-earnings. QCOM got destroyed. LG just crashed. Taiwan semi-conductor is flat. Foxconn crashed in the last few months. So how exactly can Apple move up??
Similarly, look at Apple's competitors: Samsung is on fire and unstoppable. Android is eating Apple's market share faster and faster. And Dell just had a record sales quarter. And Microsoft is doing very well too, their Surface is 1000000000 times better than the "iPod pro" lol.
While you are technically right that my Value at risk is $233,000, reasonably, I am risking far less than that. I sold calls at $128 to limit my risk and because I don't have the margin to go naked, but reasonably speaking, I am not risking much. Worst case scenario it doesn't move and the calls get, well, called for $2. There is no chance I'm ever exercicing my $128 calls here unless a miracle. Speaking of miracles, I got caught once when the company I was doing that kind of strategy on was purchased, but who can buyout Apple??? Nobody!!!!
Apple going up when it's the most sensitive tech stock and the entire tech sector is getting obliterated? In a very difficult quarter? Don't think so!
Anyway, thank you for your time for sharing that feedback, it is appreciated!
## Speaker_3: ##
...Sometimes... Stocks go up. Normally WSB's don't own those ones, but it has been known to happen. You're dd of "well google didn't go up" leaves just... so much to be desired. I wouldn't risk 233K on that sort of shit DD.

"Already, Flynn is saying in court documents that an unnamed “senior official” in the Trump transition team directed him to contact nations including Russia over a United Nations vote – a discussion cited in the charging document Friday. "
Do you have any idea how much dirt is going to get dug up with this? Mueller is not going to stop here.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You realize there's absolutely nothing wrong with that right? The President Elect's National Security Advisor contacting a country's ambassador to ask they not retaliate for a vote the current administration is pushing isn't illegal. What *was* illegal was telling the FBI you didn't do that when in fact you did. The really fucked up part of the entire thing is the only reason we even know about it is there was a wiretap on the ambassador and the US official in the conversation was unmasked (which is not normal and not OK either). Flynn is in trouble for lying to the FBI, not for his actions.

Nah. CU's are great for checking, savings, mortgages and autoloans.
## Speaker_2: ##
What benefit does a credit union ha e over a bank?
## Walls1337bot: ##
No shareholders. At a bank the people running the place have shareholders that they need to make happy, they come first not you (the person with the accounts). At a credit union you, the account holder, are the stake holder and not some board of directors. Credit unions are legally non profit entities so that means there isn't a lot of incentive to bend you over a table with bullshit fees and rates which there is at a Wells Fargo and it also means that you get better rates on loans which the CU can afford since they can't turn a profit. The big downside to credit unions is that hey tend to be regional is if you live on the East Coast and need to make a branch visit while in Cali you will have a hard time but between online banking and sister branching that has never been an issue in my life.
Credit unions also tend to have much higher quality customer service. The worst thing that I can say about my credit union (whom I have been with since 2006) is that they once put me on hold for 5 minutes.

A big part of that is the fact people with rich parents go to private schools and have better connections. This business is all about connections. For people who started from the bottom (my nigga Shkreli) they had to make the connections themselves.

A finance degree from Shkreli's school is a mean cost of 31k~. This school has a very long list of household names in the finance industry.

I mean aren’t they trying to take the national oil company public rn; doesn’t this make that supply seem unstable
## Speaker_1: ##
The ownership is being transferred from the state-owned Aramco (read: owned by the king), in whole or in part, to the sovereign wealth fund.
## Speaker_0: ##
What is the “sovereign wealth fund” is that like part of the state budget?
## Speaker_1: ##
It's a "fund" which is fed cash owned by the state. Certain state's have them, Norway India and China do too.
If Norway is an example, that one is ~$1-2trillion that was generated from cash Norway got from North Sea oil discovered in the 1980s. Norway decided to keep the money and put it into investments. It's apparently invested mainly in lower risk european equities, though recently into some US equities.
China and India also have sovereign wealth funds that they use to invest into their own country's infrastructure.
They function like any other fund except, as far as I'm aware, there aren't any sovereign wealth funds that can be invested into by private individuals.
Going back to Aramco, I actually heard there's going to be a figure of ~90% going into the sovereign wealth fund, perhaps that 10% is going to be provisioned for an IPO, or the king just keeps it.
## Speaker_2: ##

## Speaker_1: ##
they expect it to be at or above $17 before end of day tomorrow, yes. and if not, the calls expire worthless. they are probably already worth less than 5% of the price he paid for them.

Look at the US-EU agreement last week, it was a joke, he almost got nothing he asked for but he needed the win, that's it.

lol, US market will drop like a rock if China start to gut US multi-national companies. Their non-US competitors would love to eat their lunch.

Usually life insurance has 1 or 2 year suicide clauses. If you pull out the insurance then commit suicide after that time it will still pay out. I don't really know if I believe you though because these salesmen don't care about the payouts. Their job is to just make the sale.

There is no opioid crisis. Once you start banging smack, there is a 99+% probability that you are going to be nothing but a drain on society and the economy for the rest of your life.

These people are all fucked, and you have to be pretty fucked up in the first place to start banging street drugs. Its basically darwinism.
Conclusion: The fentanyl cut heroin and oxy that is leading to thousands of deaths every year is not a crisis, it is a solution.

I wish more new traders understood this. Many pinkies/OTCs are simply boat buying machines for scam artists who have the brains to exploit people instead of just breaking the law with fraud. Immoral? Yes. Illegal? Please.
OTC is filled with scammy shit and fly by night companies that rarely ever make it to ARCA/NASDAQ land. Traders face the risk of this sinking to zero Volume and then being stuck with 250k shares collecting dust.
When you do your DD on these, always use Google maps street view to look at their "headquarters". Usually it's a PO box inside of a strip mall, sandwiched between the Waffle Hut and Lulu's nails.
Always do a solid DD on these pieces of shit including a full dox of the owners.... And what they've owned/been "CEO" of previously. If they are legit scientists and business people that's one thing, but 10-1 they've never been heard of or they have history with previous failed OTC/pennies.
When I mean a full dox I'm talking paying the $35-50 to Intelius or another company for the full boat on these scum. Cyberstalk them. Did they go to MIT/CalTech or Goatfuck Community College of West-by-God-Virginny? Look at their Facebooks, their credit checks, their companies /LLCs owned.

They quit after going from offering $400 to $800. Eventually somebody would have accepted a high enough offer. This man was a doctor of all things. Maybe he HAD to be on that flight. Even if it was me, I would have refused. United overbooked. Let those stand-bys miss the flight. They couldn't take a later flight themselves? If not let the airline find somebody to cover their flights shifts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Apparently he "needed to see his patients in the morning."
What a dick move by United. Would hate to be their PR guy right now.
## Speaker_2: ##
Him being a doctor is irrelevant. He booked a flight. It was his flight. Just offer more money and do it to the whole plane. You'll get 4 people to leave pretty quickly.
## Speaker_3: ##
Or take all that money and buy tickets for your crew on a different airline.
## Speaker_4: ##
I hope he at least got his $800.

If you get booted off a flight for it being overbooked it's federal law that they give you money.

oh dear god. look dude, i really hope this works out, but the CEO of this company did the same exact stuff with $ECIG a few years ago:
https://www.microcapdaily.com/what-happened-to-electronic-cigarettes-intl-group-ltd-otcmktsecig/114601/
"Certainly a rosy picture however ECIG sponsored its fast rise through a number of large acquisitions paid for primarily with toxic debt including VIP for $50 Million, FIN for $133 Million and Vapestick for $54 Million."
they buy failing brands, "increase and expand revenue," burn cash, dilute (look up how many share offerings NBEV has had this year alone), then move on.
this is a weed pump and tomorrow will be a re-hash of today's news. don't get stuck bagholding 6 figs.
## Speaker_1: ##
You have me reconsidering my position...shit..
## Walls1337bot: ##
If one WSB comment can make you reconsider your 330k position you are not the kind of person who should have 330k. Best advice is don't let anyone know you have that kind of money and you can't lose it to someone smarter than you.
## Speaker_1: ##
Agreed. I am simply taking a gamble here.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Gambling is a bet made with the expectation of a loss and the possibility of a gain. An investment is a bet made with the expectation of a gain. Ask yourself honestly, do you want to hold these options after you're in the green? I'd take whatever profit you can tomorrow. Maybe it moons, maybe it doesn't, but you should find an investment you feel better about before putting that much money into one.

## Speaker_1: ##
Curious, I’ve seen a couple people mention that having a 6fig rh is a bad idea. Any reason? I saw a couple times that their support team isn’t that great, but are their any other reasons?
## Speaker_2: ##
Their platform is garbage compared to things like ThinkorSwim by TDAmeritrade. Nothing stops you from calling TD and asking for reduced trading fees, I lowered mine in the past more than 30% just from asking. Robinhood/TastyWorks is good for starting out because fees can kill a small balance, when you're decently experienced and have a good sized account you *should* switch to something with more tools to help you trade more efficiently, offer greater research, etc etc.

And I saw a different chart comparing this year to the period before the great depression and other crashes. You can cherry pick any part of a chart to match your thesis.
## Speaker_1: ##
You're right, an index price chart doesn't paint the whole picture. What in your opinion is the bear case right now that will send us into a great depression-type crash? Because I don't see any.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Corporate debt bubble is real...I don't think this will cause any kind of violent crash but if interest rates rise I don't think equity returns will be on par with what we've seen recently.
## Speaker_2: ##
Corporate debt bubble is the resounding problem in most arguments for a downturn. Then the tariffs not too far behind.
But if the last plunge taught us anything. Is that. Who the fuck cares. None of these companies are gonna fall. Too big. Is too true. They can piss and moan all day that their 1000% margins are now just single digits. But they still can get a loan. No matter what. Borrow more. We just print more. Or raise the bar for how high above earnings they’re allowed to trade. Facebook trades at 90x? Hell. Let em trade at 400x earnings. Same difference. What’s to stop it. They (S&P) need to suck it up. 10 full years of incredible gains. No raises given. No stock buybacks. Unlimited 0% free money.
Literally the easiest time in history for an established business to do business.
Let the plebs have some of it again. Alls well. Carry on.
## Walls1337bot: ##
lol thank you, I should have been more specific in what I meant - earnings are going to be much more sensitive to interest rates given the increased corporate debt burden.
>Or raise the bar for how high above earnings they’re allowed to trade
You are right, if this isn't held roughly constant then stock prices won't be as directly affected. The stock market isn't a tool for price discovery, after all, it's where you put yer money then take it out later when its bigger.

Bro what is this brokerage? Switch to like TD ameritrade and use think or swim. Their customer service is top tier. These guys are using your money to Schwab their ass

It's true, TD Ameritrade is top notch as far as brokers go but fuckkkkkkkk those commissions suck so bad.
## Speaker_2: ##
An email or phone call to TD will get them cut. Mine are $3.99.

Did you just call and ask for a lower commission?

Say something like "I really want to continue using your platform due to X reason but I find the commissions so off putting given X platform I use charges much less. Is there anything you can do about fixing that"

I actually do not understand why TSLA is up so much.. can someone explain?
## Speaker_2: ##
Model 3 hit positive gross margin. Profitability is pretty clearly in sight at this point. When you factor production ramp with the fact that now every car gives TSLA actual profit.. it’s not surprising. TSLA become a completely different stock when it turns profitable.
## Speaker_3: ##
Though I get your point, how do you justify their valuation even if they are profitable?
## Speaker_4: ##
Best self driving car on the market.
## Speaker_3: ##
It's not a self driving car, and that still doesn't justify their valuation.
e: By comparison, Ford sold 1.5 million cars all at a profit in the same time period and has a market cap 20B less than Tesla.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not an extreme Tesla bull or bear, but every car competing with Model 3 is shit, despite what they say. BMW i3 is butt ugly, so is current Nissan Leaf. No way I would buy that shit. Model 3 looks good.

I bought puts. This thing is going down.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Got any DD for that? Seriously though because if you have a good reason why I'm an idiot here, I'll happily close out my position now for ~15% gain.
>"When my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?"
## Speaker_0: ##
It took a run at the high on the 8th but failed. I think it's going to have to sink a little before taking another attempt at new highs. This is pretty much based on my own speculation. There's no reason that rail would be going up bigly other than slightly higher gas prices but I doubt they're high enough to make logistics changes in supply chains.
P/E is decent but so is Ford and look at them sucking.
Edit: CSX has no future because of self driving trucks. There's a trucker shortage now but there won't be in 5 or 10 years when we don't need truckers anymore.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The higher gas prices and higher trucker rates combined could push a lot of transit demand over to rail from trucks. I see those as immediate impact items.
The run at the high on the 8th failing is irrelevant because one ER can absolutely blow technicals out of the water. A beat will send CSX to $66 or $67 easily and a strong beat would push it past $68. Generally you can count on a really strong ER to add ~10% which would put it at $70. I'm not saying we'll get there, but the prior high isn't going to amount to anything if earnings are through the roof.
P/E is sort of irrelevant to the current quarter earnings play, but it could be meaningful if earnings are underwhelming and my bet turns into "value investing" or if I decide to average down.
Also, I have no intention of holding this long enough for self-driving trucks or self-flying trucks or self-teleporting trucks to have any impact at all.
## Speaker_0: ##
None of that matters. Grandpa just sees self driving trucks said repeatedely on Fox News over and over. As a result he sells CSX in his retirement account because he thinks it's going to die. The only thing that matters is perception. Trains are old and loud.
## Walls1337bot: ##

Sorry I talked shit on your subreddit. Im one of them fundamental douchebags asking about a MF'ing dividend ETF (obvious right?) and OP is trying to tell me "no buy" because of fucking volume....... I dont even know how to use volume. Just because you chart doesn't mean everyone else does. Tell shmegma/yolo shwaggins/Martin i say waddup.
## Speaker_2: ##
Its because there's no liquidity. Eventually you'll want to sell it to someone else and the fact that there are not a lot of shares being traded means there aren't a lot of buyers. It seriously not that hard to understand. This is a fundamental thing not just a technical thing.
Also you should probably invest in a fund that has been around longer than a year. This thing hasn't proven any returns. Its not the FB IPO or the next FaceBook its a fucking ETF.
