## Speaker_2: ##
For Netflix content? What’ve they got worth the price? It’s almost entirely a service based around a bunch of average shows and movies at best with one or two great shows to keep people subscribed.
## Speaker_3: ##
Agreed. Netflix has few titles to justify the premium. They used to be the next big thing, then they crapped out mostly shit movies and series in an effort to become HBO before HBO becomes Netflix (as if streaming is the kind of technology that can be a moat).
Netflix will fail unless they hire people that know television. Until now, they've just thrown money hoping something sticks. Stranger Things. Anything else?
Their catalogue looks like the Walmart DVD bin of "deals."
## Walls1337bot: ##
As they've gotten more shows it's gotten worse, but netflix has a lot of great shows. House of Cards, Stranger Things, Daredevil, Bojack, Black Mirror, and Jessica Jones off the top of my head.

I am sure the mods on WSB are told and possibly even paid to hold back certain postings on certain stocks and also if it gives any inclination of the truth to redditors.
You'll notice it when you have something to say that goes against a stock that they probably own and need to pump/dump, that posting is all the sudden shadowbannded or downvoted etc..

Memes aside he probably is on the autism spectrum, he's certainly a weird guy who sought fame/attention badly and said anything with sensationalistic value as a ploy to have his name in the headlines. One would've wondered had he just turned his twitter private, ignored all media requests, and shut his mouth how little he would've served. This ruling was an abomination of justice and clearly motivated on the basis of his perceived character, the $7M he was forced to forfeit and time served is ample enough of a punitive punishment considering there are literally execs still employed who are responsible for the loss of trillions of dollars and only forfeited a small percentage of their ill-gotten gains.

The thing is I actually believe in IQ as a company. I’ve seen their products first hand and I believe the emerging Chinese market will only make the company more profitable

As a non RH user what's that all about? Are trades not free for the company?

It's not a robinhood thing, it's a government regulation thing. You can only do a set number of "In-and-out in a day" trades over a set number of days if you have an account of less than 25k. That's why the top comment in the thread is "Lmoa so close to 25k, but so far...." because if he reached 25k when he sold out of his last position, he wouldn't have the restriction.

I don’t think socialism is the answer but why does the right pretend the minimum wage wasn’t set up to live off of. “no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” -FDR
## Speaker_0: ##
Yeah back in the day when times were different. But we all have a responsibility to make our own way. The left wants to force a perfect world without earning it. I say get rid of minimum wage. Let the market dictate the wage. If you can’t find a living wage build your own business.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You’re absolutely right we do have to make our own way. The problem is companies are seeing ridiculous profits in many places where workers don’t make shit. This doesn’t personally hurt me I work for a top 3 bank in sales, I’m ok. But I’d like to see people not have to wonder if ends will meet this month. Most of the country has less than a 1000 in savings to their name not even including net wealth just what they have for an emergency. That’s a problem. We’re subsidizing corporations when we allow them to have so many workers who need food stamps and other handouts.
## Speaker_1: ##
To nitpick, if you have only $1000 in savings at age 30, then it’s likely your fault, baring extreme circumstances of course. Even if you’re making close to minimum wage, which few people do at age 30, if you’re living at your income level you can still manage to save more than that.
I think a lot of people have a spending problem, rather than a wage problem. Now of course there are exceptions, I’m not saying this is universal. But if you’re making $40k a year and complaining about not having enough savings, you probably should check your spending habits first.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I agree but minimum wage is like half of that. If you make 40k plus that’s more than enough to do ok even well if you use your money well.

PUTS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
## Walls1337bot: ##
The market had no cause to be green the past few days. Somehow people had convinced themselves that the tariffs were just regular Trump bluster and weren't gonna happen. Believed Cohn and Paul Ryan could somehow change Trump's mind.
## Speaker_1: ##
a booming economy and a market under it's 50 dma is enough for green. Trump has said himself that it's a negotiation tactic to make better deals with NAFTA EU and China. Sure we'll drop a few percentage points over this but if you think a recession is coming RIP
## Walls1337bot: ##
Bear markets and recessions aren't 1:1, you can have one without the other - in fact you can have a bull market in a depression (see the late 1800s - persistent unemployment but rising corporate earnings). Tariffs lead to earnings being revised downwards and can lead to a bear market.
The other point is that by their very nature, tariffs cause price increases cause inflation and necessitate the Fed hiking rates, this also makes stocks sell off.
## Speaker_2: ##
Wouldn't any example from the late 1800s be moot, given the FED wasn't around then?
## Walls1337bot: ##
What? No? What on Earth are you even implying? That the Fed tries to keep the market red in a recession and green in an expansion? O-o. Late 1800s we *did* have deflation, which the Fed exists to prevent, but we've deflation since the Fed was founded as well.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm implying it's a different set of underlying circumstances because there was less central planning before the FED.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The Fed exists for monetary policy. They exist to maintain inflation at like 2% a year. They do not exist to keep the market green. The Fed would rather see SPY at 150 than us with Zimbabwe money - why?
Because inflation is actually good for debtors. Lenders *hate* inflation because it reduces the real value of money and makes fixed-rate debt easier to pay off. The Fed works to keep the banks afloat.

Not sure that tariffs were supposed to help companies. Pretty sure they're meant to help the tax collectors.

They are meant to be combative to unfair trade practices, like forced technology transfer and IP theft. Tariffs are probably the most generic tool in the bag for trade conflict.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you don't like forced technology transfer and IP theft, don't go into Chinese market. You paid the price to enter Chinese market VOLUNTARILY, then don't whine like a bitch
## Speaker_1: ##
Nobody volunteered for corporate espionage and state sponsored cyber attacks. Eventually these issues were going to be faced, this pain is part of the unseen cost of moving so much industry to China.
China is going to make a big pr fuss over tariffs, and accuse the us of unfair trade practices because tariffs are measurable and easily demonstrable. China's offences are less obvious and not directly measurable.
## Walls1337bot: ##

Well that's just a catch 22. You're asking somebody to not use capitalism if they don't like it when that's the economic system they were born in. How else could they be socialists? You can't just choose not to be a consumer under capitalism
## Speaker_4: ##
If that's your true perspective you can still avoid "feeding the system" by living a more minimalistic life. Buy a bike and stop riding Uber. Buy coffee from small outfits with ethically sourced products instead of a massive multinational like Starbucks. Use somebody's cheap used laptop that still works just fine instead of buying the newest MacBook pro.
You can't completely take yourself out of the system but you don't have to buy into the culture any more than is necessary.

Sometimes everyone expects a slight beat, so anything that doesn't clobber the expectation is going to be a letdown.
What doesn't help is what seems to be an overall bearish spirit the past few days because of bonds and a strong likelihood of a hawkish Fed outlook. Stocks may start losing some of the premium they've enjoyed from the last decade of cheap lending and money. The fundamentals for companies you believe in will still be there.

## Walls1337bot: ##
JNUG is a leveraged ETF. The price of leveraged ETFs by nature decays over time. When the price gets low enough they preform a reverse split (if you don't know what that means I don't know what to tell you). This causes the price to look artificially inflated when looking back over time. See $DRYS 5 year chart.

It's not like CEOs make 100% of profit and it's not like the board has the choice between paying the CEO or spreading that money out among everyone else.
CEOs can continue to make what they make *and* entry-level employees can get paid more. They are not diametrically opposed ideas.
## Speaker_5: ##
Literally this. Ask consumers if they will pay a little more for their products so that employees will get a living wage. CEO wage won't have a real impact, but $.20 on every delivery will.

I have never, ever used market orders. bid/ask slippage is already a hell of a drug. no need to intensify the effects.
## Speaker_2: ##
Dumb question, but who gets the "difference" of prices in orders? For example: if the highest asking price for an option is $1.00 and I buy one option with a limit price of $2.00, do I buy it for $1.00 or do I buy it for $2.00 and the seller gets an extra $1.00?
## Speaker_1: ##
market makers earn their money on the bid/ask difference. brokers earn on the commission you pay.
not a dumb question at all.

I thought it was assumed that if you've got your info on the internet it's in no way private to anyone who really wants to get at it.
Facebook probably knows more about me than the CIA cares to.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well from what I've read, the CIA has this program called UMBRA which allows them to hack other countries and make it look like any country the CIA chooses actually committed the hack.
They also can hack into 99% of electronic devices and do anything to them. Such as plant evidence of wrongdoing on someone's device, who was completely innocent, and make them guilty.
This goes a little farther than having people's info they willingly post on the internet.

It's funny how fiscal conservatives are all quiet after a republican won the whitehouse but if a democrat raises the debt ceiling...
## Speaker_1: ##
If you say "I'm going to cut entitlements" the liberals go crazy, even though they rob the rest of us to pay for themselves, you cant win an election after that. So they dont say shit. They'll force us to default, because we cant stop giving people free shit now, that would be "heartless". Lol capitalism is for the people who move the world forward, socialism is for the theives.
Moral of the story is, you cant win an election if all the "free shit brigade" gets to vote for it.
Edit: over the same length of time entitlement spending dwarfs the Iraq war. By more than double, it's sad to think conservative finances dont matter anymore. You people want to devalue our money, and increase a debt that is 10 years from actually crippling the goverment and the economy for years to come.
2015-2017 entitlements cost were the same as the entirety of the Iraq war. Gimme gimme gimme.
## Speaker_2: ##
Basic entitlements expected of a 1st world nation didn't cause this. Notice nations that have govt subsidized healthcare and post secondary education dont have this problem.
This was caused by war spending under Bush and Reagan and corporate welfare for the wealthy.
A poor black senior having Medicaid didn't cause this, 2 trillion in Iraq, de regulation that led to 2008, and that tax bill did
## Speaker_3: ##
Most of them barely spend anything on defense let's be honest because they are essentially client states of America after World War 2. Trump is right on this one and European countries have more or less conceded that point. Iraq and Middle East has been a bunch expensive mistakes, but Hussein was truly a dictator and any sort of interventions has a risks of being mistakes, including World War 2.
Here's a politically incorrect point, in general Europe until very recently have a whiter population that just do better in terms of lifetime income, criminality and health outcomes. Like someone else said you also cherry picked and ignored Spain, Greece and Portugal.
## Walls1337bot: ##

It's almost as if spending the better part of two decades blowing the shit out of poor countries will cause those people to flee to more economically stable areas.
None of what you mentioned has fuck all to do with race. It has to do with socioeconomic standing and social mobility.

about price gouging, not the fraud stuff

## Speaker_2: ##
>"If there was a company that was selling an Aston Martin at the price of a bicycle, and we buy that company and we ask to charge Toyota prices, I don't think that that should be a crime."
That hasn't stopped him from constantly denying and lying about it, but fraudsters and Pharma CEOs are hardly groups known for their honesty.
For reference, he raised the price of Thiola from $1.50 to $30 per pill, of which patients must take 10 to 15 of per day, and raised the cost of Daraprim from US$13.50 to US$750 per pill.
I assume by "Toyota prices" he meant "you could literally buy a Toyota for the cost of a months worth of these drugs at their new prices."
## Speaker_3: ##
How does that even matter, when its the insurance companies that is going to pay for it? His companies gave the stuff away for free, if you needed it and couldn't pay for it. He repeatedly asked people to produce one single patient, who needed it and couldn't get it.

One of the largest growth area for banking assets in 2017 was "non-QM loans"
Aka, home loans to people with not great credit. You might even say they're....*subprime*
No one learns anything because people are cattle.
## Speaker_1: ##
> non-QM loans
Holy shit. I just looked into these. Wow. Bound to repeat. The housing market is such trash. People are idiots.
## Speaker_2: ##
You’re an idiot, non-QM just means they aren’t perfectly standard and can’t be sold to Fannie and Freddie. Plenty of rich people have non-QM mortgages because they want balloons or bullets or whatever. Studies of non QM mortgages shows performance between prime and subprime and either way no one does risk layering anymore like they used to.
## Speaker_1: ##
The problem is that most of these people can't qualify for conventional mortgages due to debt or not enough for a down payment. They are heavily debt-ridden. While there might be a plan for repayment, it could easily go off the rails if the borrower incurs further unexpected debt. When you couple this with increasing consumer debt, stagnant wages, and inflation, the bottom will eventually give out.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He's right. Non-conforming loans aren't necessarily shit loans, they just don't conform to Fannie/Freddie rules. In my market most of those are due to crazy home values resulting in loans over the $417M limit. Has nothing to do with quality of borrowers.

The SEC just runs around and does a few token stings for prime time news, so they look like they're busy, and they don't do anything to protect real investors from real legitimate ongoing ponzi schemes nor protecting Americans from real domestic and international threats/scams.
The SEC has a job to do, keep the markets honest, and they're not doing it, not in the slightest, the markets are one of the most dishonest places in the world, they're only going around and making it look like they're doing it in exchange for taxpayer dollars. This is due to regulatory capture. If the SEC does actual policing of corruption and dishonesty, they would have to uproot half of the system.

accepting a job does not magically make an underpaid job no longer underpaid. that is flawed logic. i understand what you are trying to say... that people have free will to choose and move on. yes, but that is not the same as a job no longer being underpaid simply by accepting it. if a migrant accepts a job paying $3/hour in a farm in Cali... him taking it doesn't mean he is no longer underpaid. it means he is either retarded or he has no choice. also, your over generalization and over simplification of jobs pushing you to work more than what they pay is laughable. You think this is my first job? dude there is no job i've taken, full time or part time, where they have worked people like what I'm seeing at Amazon. you're over generalizing and claiming that a part time job at Amazon is just like any other part time job. Nope, not even close. I've never had a job where i felt pressured to not use the restroom. you hear about all those articles where AMZN workers say they feel pressure not to go to the bathroom due to quotas? well that shit is true. is that how it's like at other normal jobs? nope, definitely not normal.

>, i didn't take this AMZN gig for just the money
So $15/hr isn't all you're getting paid, factor this into your 'I'm underpaid' logic.
A migrant accepts a grossly underpaying job on a farm because he/she isn't qualified (by legal status/immigration/language barriers) to take any other job. So HE/SHE has come to the conclusion that its in their best interest to take the low wage (most likely illegal) job. Definitely not because they are 'retarded' (lol nice point of view). More like this is what they can accept because of their social position in the country. Close analogy but not exactly because you are crossing into legal/illegal wages. You and your fellow co-workers are backed by state laws regulating work conditions & wages.
Also, never claimed that Amazon jobs are 'just like any other part time job'. I'd also mention that I know that Amazon is insane (never stated otherwise), I'm simply saying they are not your Slave Master. Ive worked jobs (Enterprise Rent-A-Car specifically) where you are HIGHLY encouraged to never take a break (bathroom, lunch, whatever). Worked an unnumbered amount of days with no lunch break (Class action lawsuits can back up my claims). I left. I found another job that pays slightly less but allows me to be a human BECAUSE THATS WHAT I VALUE. You think this job should be done by someone less qualified or you should get paid more? Cool, Amazon (and others) thinks it should be done by robots. You obviously value something that this Amazon job provides you more than the hate you have for it otherwise you would have left.
​
I'll leave you with this. We live short lives, if you hate working for Amazon. Don't. Go do something that makes you happy.

The problem in my view is barrier to entry for most young people. Certifications and degrees are tantamount to waste in lieu of verifiable experience. We all know at least a few people that cannot break into industry despite their education and work ethic. Perhaps it's a lacking of apprenticeships, not internships, or the unwillingness of companies to outlay cash and lost productivity to train skilled replacements for their workforce. I'm not talking about breaking into heavily unionized industries like auto or utilities. Rather, I'm speaking about the skilled trades like plumbing, glazing, baking, butchery, heavy machinery, and trucking.
## Speaker_1: ##
I think the problem is that no one wants to do those jobs anymore because they think they're too good for it.
Plus, when you're told all your life that you need to spend $50K+ on a degree, and you finally receive it and realize it's almost worthless, you definitely don't want to do a job that doesn't require a degree just based on principle alone unless you're starving and have no choice.
## Speaker_2: ##
No one wants to do them, or the going wage rate is not high enough for those jobs.
Supply and demand baby
## Walls1337bot: ##
Trades are in high demand, I do electric and my going rate is damn near as high as I want it to be. I do work on the side after I get off with my main company, personally I'm booked through the rest of the year and the company I work for doesn't have room for another job until next March.
We need more electricians though. Having the work is nice, my bank account is getting obese but I am fucking tired man. And you'd think with so much work and so few people doing electric that we could more or less pick and choose who we work with but unless you're one of the top companies in the area then you can't afford to be that picky because GCs will stop calling you with the desirable jobs.
## Speaker_3: ##
And yet I never see ads for apprenticeship in the trades. All I see is listings looking for journeymen with multiple years experience. Yes, a union will help you out but at least here in the south, noone wants to hire union if they can help it so union apprentices make little money. Its a catch 22.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm non union. I got accepted to their apprenticeship program in Memphis at the JATC. I was their first choice candidate they interviewed and perfect score on entry exam(which is like 8th grade math and reading lol). They still took over two months to call me with work, by then I had found a very unique job with a control company that did automation for cotton gins.
My tenure there was not very long, I worked quite hard but I was very unqualified for my position. The owner kind of broke that down for me and told me that he liked my work ethic, he was sorry he brought me on and had to end it after only a few months. But he had a former employee who had started a company a few years prior, he put in a word with me for him. I ended up working there for years and still work there. I make excellent money as a licensed journeyman, I learned everything I needed to know from either the people I worked under or by studying on my own time. I'll own my own company in a few years.
And honestly, don't go with the union. They suck. Sorry if I offend any union workers here. Go with a private company, tell them you want a helper position. Look up what the beginning rate is for first year union apprentices is in your area and ask for like $2 an hour more than that. Tell them you'll work hard, you want to learn. You'll probably have to buy your own hand tools. Even the union makes you do that. But it's quite possible to cut the union out of the equation completely, I for one am quite happy I did.
