Pro tip: A simple and almost always successful strategy is just to buy the highest performing stocks from the previous year. I know many people here are devoid of thought, so if you do this, you're done for the year after placing the trades tomorrow, which is probably for the best.
## Speaker_1: ##
Throw some examples
## Speaker_0: ##
Top 6 American stocks 2016 and their performance 2017:
Nvidia (up ~100%)
OKE (down ~8% )
NEM (up ~8%)
AMAT (up ~70%)
XEX (down ~5%)
SWN (down ~35%)
Energy always sucks so it was surprising to see one in the top 6 (SWE). If I personally implemented this strategy (i never would) I would've avoided big picture dumb shit like that.

Do people really use Facebook anymore? Trump should invite MySpace too then.
## Speaker_2: ##
This is a joke right? Facebook isn't making those 2010 gainz, but saying nobody goes on Facebook is estupido.
## Speaker_1: ##
Facebook is in big decline. Talk to any teenager. Facebook is becoming the old folks home, once it reaches the impending tipping point it falls off cliff. It's the beauty and beast of social media. Facebook is easy short.
It's like your in-laws Christmas party, sure there are lots of people there, but do you really want to be there?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah but FB owns Instagram, which young people love. Instagram and Snapchat are the platforms of kids.
## Speaker_3: ##
I don't use any of them, but I don't think snap chat can be monetized like Facebook.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I agree with you haha, I'm just saying that Facebook has shown that they can identify changing markets. They bought Instagram for pennies compared to what it's worth now and they went after Snapchat.
Facebook will be fine as a company.
## Speaker_4: ##
Everyone always talks about how the most valuable thing they have is the information on all their users. But aside from targeted advertising how could that information really be monetized?
## Walls1337bot: ##
'Aside from the extremely profitable future of advertising, how could that data be used?'
Such a ridiculous question.
Still, data is the future of personalization and business in general (along with AI that can learn from that data). I had to do some research on the future of Uber for a class recently. One thing stuck out to me: the possibilities of data.
Uber knows the traffic patterns of a city thanks to their data from users and drivers. That can be sold to someone like Google, to provide a better experience for their Maps app.
Uber has data on hot things in any city. They know that couples (2 people) tend to go to certain locations, whereas groups go to other locations. I see this eventually leading to Uber being able to plan a night for you. You would hit a button and, based on your preferences and history combined with the preferences and history of people/groups like you, Uber would be able to tell you exactly where to go depending on the type of night you want. And it would call a car for you, most likely an autonomous one, to make sure you get there and back safely. I shouldn't have to explain how valuable this data is in terms of competitive advantage. Data is power because of artificial intelligence.
Now, think of all the data Facebook has on everyone. Faces, names, political views, opinions, "likes", friends, birthdays, work history, school history, web history, location data, hometown, the list goes on and on. Selling these things to marketers is an old strategy, everyone is doing it. The future is using this data, combined with AI, to bring a better experience to people. You want to give them what they want before they know they want it, and that's what Facebook can do with their data. I don't exactly know how, but that's just he natural evolution of the company that I see. And however any company makes this happen, they will make sure it is extremely profitable. Facebook and Uber already have a fraction of the employees of other tech companies, reducing overhead. Old tech companies may fail to keep up with the data revolution, it'll be interesting to see.

Swing trading is begging to get fucked
## Speaker_0: ##
Isn't that the opposite of logic? FDs destroy you, swing trading would at least allow you multiple days/weeks of exit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Just because one thing destroys you doesn't mean that anything else wont

Dude the only reason you gave to sell short this stock is that it's going reach ATH. What kind of bullshit reason is that?
The only way you'll ever make money is if you're lucky, not because you put any actual brains into it. You are asking to be shitted on
## Speaker_0: ##
So now it's my lack of DD, not that i'm swing trading? Also when did WSB care about DD, is this real life?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Listen, WSB used to be about making money but fags with Robinhood took over and now spend every single one of their McDonald's paychecks on $18 AMD weeklies and get pissy when they aren't rich at the end of the week. DDs used to be common and weren't comprised of memes only, but solid info. And people used to make money. Lose some too, but it wasn't a sub glorifying being suicidal because you blew up your $300 Robinhood account.
As for your situation, your lack of DD and swing trading go hand in hand. It's not one instead of the other. You think that because it had similar behavior a year ago, the stock is going to do the same thing. If you want to know how trading like that goes, go ask the $XIV crowd.

I dont hink he actually defrauded the people, but I think the jury is going to throw him away based on how the media painted him as the face for healthcare profiteering. If you listen to him you understand how the healthcare R&D cycle works and how increasing the price of drug A can fund the research of drug B or whatever, but all that goes out the window when prosecuters and news outlets start saying hype words and paint you into the narrative of a rich wall street "pharma bro". I think he is fucked for a few years until he gets out then makes a mint selling stock tips on twitch or youtube or whatever.
## Speaker_1: ##
He defrauded them that's why they all walked away with 3x their investments. I wish I could get defraud like that
## Speaker_2: ##
It's kind of like if you rob a bank, take the money to Vegas, and gamble it on blackjack. Like if you lose it all, that's a crime. But if you are able to return to the bank a year later and give them 3x what you stole from them, that's not a crime.
edit: some people can't tell I'm being sarcastic
## Speaker_0: ##
its more like if you went to vegas, found a plot of real estate, built the casino, made the casino one of the best in the world, then paid the bank in chips worth 3x what you ~~stole~~ convinced the bank to loan you because they are greedy retards, redeemable at the casino, while the pit boss got butt hurt and watched them all cash out.

Where do you get these percentages?
## Speaker_1: ##
Find the stock price.
Find the closest strike price.
Find the price of buying a call and put at that strike price.
Take that total premium for the call and put and add it to the stock price for the expected upside move and subtract it from the stock price for the downside move.
Example:
$50 stock
$4 for a $50 strike call
$4 for a $50 strike put
Expected move is 16% ((($50+$4+$4)-$50)/$50).
The stock is expected to be between $42 and $58.

1987 has relevance as the largest single day stock market crash in US history, a staggering 22%

This is positioning by Mueller to prevent Trump from firing him. Markets aren't even down 1% on an unsubstantiated ABC report that Flynn *might* have something that could *potentially* lead to impeachment.

Unsubstantiated? Are you fucking retarded?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/01/michael-flynn-pleads-guilty-to-false-statements-charge-in-russia-probe.html
"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.

Its a commission-free brokerage which makes it the first of its kind. If the amount of capital you're handling isn't large enough, transaction fees can really take a chunk out of your gains.
Transaction fees include an average 6.95 for every buy and sell as well as government per share fees you pay.
Robinhood is just a super convenient way to buy and sell stocks without the 6.95 commission fee on your phone and so its considered a good "Starter" broker.
However because they don't charge commissions, they should be bleeding money and so there are liquidity concerns. If you're handling large amounts of money, you're probably better off keeping it in an account with TD, Shwab,or fidelity.
## Speaker_1: ##
The exchange pays for creating liquidity, i.e. selling. Schwab et al eat that as profit. Robinhood uses it to offset the costs of buys.
## Speaker_2: ##
Sure, but how do they pay for their operations and other overhead?
## Speaker_3: ##
They fill every order as a limit order. They don't do straight up market orders, and so since they're a brokerage, they can buy stock for say 5.67777 a share and sell it to you for 5.68, a common before found frequently in bond trading. This is how Robinhood makes their money. They're filling your order as a limit order and pocketing the money as a man in the middle on the sheer volume of transactions.

>Figures released on May 3rd show that GDP in the currency zone rose by 0.5% in the first quarter of 2017, an annualised rate of around 2%. That is quite a bit faster than the annualised 0.7% rate reported for America’s GDP.
>These figures probably overstate the gap between the two economies. In recent years, first-quarter estimates of GDP growth in America have later been revised upwards substantially. Still, the euro-zone economy is clearly picking up speed, even as America’s goes through a soft spot.
The EU GDP growth has only [outpaced](http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21721557-first-quarter-figures-probably-overstate-gap-between-two) America's 1 year since 2008, and that's coming from behind. Their unemployment is also over double America's.

The big short dude, Eismen, is shorting Canadian banks now. He said he doesnt think it will be as the bad as the US housing crisis was, but there is definitely a problem brewing with interest rates and home costs. He seems fairly confident that there will be a large correction to home prices in the coming year or two.
As a homeowner, Im trying to convince my gf we should sell the house and live in our cars until the bubble pops.
## Speaker_1: ##
Some perspective from a guy who has lived all over the country in the past 10 years (WA, OR, CA, AZ TX, KS, CO, MS, FL, NC, SC), the US is headed right back to where we were in 2008.
My average employee makes $60k per year, the highest paid hourly hand I have made $80k in 2017. Every single one of those people has purchased a house >$400k in the past 2 years. At least 5 of those people took out what they're calling a "97 loan" or some shit like that, which basically means they only put 3% down.
These are the same people I can't reasonably rely on to show up to work at their scheduled time and place. Its gonna get ugly again at some point, I just don't know when.
## Speaker_2: ##
97 percent loan is smart. It allows them to walk away with min. investment into the housing.
Sure you can say the 97 percent loan is stupid, but there is some key differences. 3 percent being a big one. Back in 2005 people put practically zero down and the ones that couldn't even afford the monthly payment had so many lenders come out and give them them ARMs or interest rates nearing zero in the interim.
Think about this. I had a 100,000 loan at 2.8 percent. Just the interest alone on a 15 year payment is only like 180 a month with 600 being principal and the rest being property taxes (fuck you Nebraska).
Now think about some poor fuck in 2005 that had the same thing when rates were maybe closer to 4-6 percent. The banks basically waived that into the interim. So you are talking about banks letting people buy 100,000 houses at 700 a month....on a 15 ARM...for 3 years. Then they just fucking hammered them when the ARMs readjusted and peoples payments went through the roof.
Banks are smarter today though.
But look at it this way. What is the cost benefit to living somewhere for 3 years? A 2 Bdrm apartment in Omaha in a decent area will be around 800ish - 1000.
So if you live somewhere for 3 years it amounts to 36,000. If you have a 30 year loan with 3 percent down plus PMI (tax deduction) and you pay 700 a month you still really come out ahead.
I am willing to bet people who walked away from their home in the recession are better off today than those who kept them especially in areas where housing still hasn't recovered back to 2007 prices.
## Speaker_1: ##
You are a fucking idiot if you think a 97 loan is smart. Youre the exact type of person that put the country in financial straits.
## Walls1337bot: ##
A 97 loan is very smart if it's non-recourse. When shit hits the fan you just walk away and the bank can't take it out of your ass. But if home prices keep going up somehow you're levered to the max.

It is uncomfortable how many people want to abolish the FED. Of course the Fed is going to raise interest rates to counter the highest inflation in 7 years.
I refuse to allow the FED to take the credit for my superhuman ability to lose money
## Walls1337bot: ##
The Feds mistake wasn’t raising interest rates its mistake was lowering them in the first place.
## Speaker_1: ##
No, this is basic monetary policy. The Fed lowers interest rates during recessions to stimulate economic growth through increases in borrowing and investing.
Source: economics degree
## Walls1337bot: ##
Maybe it’s time to consider that modern economic theory on monetary policy is wrong. The fed lowering interest rates had two main effects. The first being inflation. The second being that it incentivized spending and borrowing. Due to the incentive being placed upon spending and borrowing people have decided against saving. In order to avoid unhealthy inflation the fed must at some point raise rates. If no one has savings what happens when the fed raises rates too high. Money becomes too expensive to borrow and without savings or the ability to borrow no one has any more money to spend. Essentially by lowering interests rates as low as it did and for as long as it did the fed has backed itself into a corner where its only two options are to let the economy go into a deep recession or to let the economy face Hyperinflation.

Is there a red pill for Martin Shkreli? Was the jacking up the price of the drug not as bad as it seems for any reason?
## Speaker_1: ##
It's far from the most expensive pill that treats diseases on the market. $750 is a small amount especially compared to cancer treatments which are more necessary for people:
>Newly approved cancer drugs cost an average of $10,000 per month, with some therapies topping $30,000 per month, according to ASCO, which discussed the costs of cancer care at a recent meeting. Just a decade ago, the average cost per month of new drugs was about $4,500.
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/patient-advice/articles/2015/07/01/oncologists-worry-about-rising-costs-of-cancer-treatment
Drugs in general cost a lot of money and are supposed to fund further research. Insurance companies is what pays for those drugs and hospitals over inflate the price of everything else. If a person does not have insurance(which is now mandatory by law due to the Affordable Care Act, so no one in USA should not have medical insurance) then hospitals cover the bill it's like loss prevention in stores.
Of course the price of biotech is still over inflated and a great way people become rich, which is why biotech stocks give some of the greatest returns.
It was seriously a witch hunt since Shekrli is pissing people in power off by acting arrogant. If you bend the rules and don't lower your head to the political rulers you get kicked around and that's what happened to him.
## Speaker_2: ##
>Drugs in general cost a lot of money and are supposed to fund further research
That's not how any of this works traditionally. Drugs are expensive in order to _recoup_ development costs and for profit. In this model, you reward successful researchers.
Drugs aren't a kickstarter, you don't pay in hoping that future drugs _might_ work. In that model, you gamble on whether you think these researchers will be of any use (most likely not because they have zero proven products). Kickstarters are for suckers, the smart consumer only pays AFTER something successful is developed.
Ideally, capitalism and the patent system is supposed to reward inventors and producers. Shkreli exploited the market and gave nothing back to society because he had no role in the creation of pyrimethamine, just his very clever de facto monopoly of it. He's the middleman, extracting profit from the consumer. (So while kickstarters are for suckers, due to the way healthcare is delivered, we are all suckers)
>If a person does not have insurance(which is now mandatory by law due to the Affordable Care Act, so no one in USA should not have medical insurance) then hospitals cover the bill it's like loss prevention in stores.
This is the most telling part of it all. Stealing an iphone from Best Buy won't hurt them at all. Martin has done virtually no damage to us at all. But both actions increase prices for everybody ever so slightly.
## Speaker_1: ##
He was a CEO of a biotech company that had researchers they paid what do you think CEO's are in general useless middlemen? Larger and richer biotech companies are constantly acquiring patents and marking up their price. Here is one example: https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/PharmAust-deal-bags-50-anti-cancer-patents
Buying property rights to a drug and selling a drug for a high cost is what capitalism is. Do you really think 4 billion is what it takes to develop a single drug? At most it's a perhaps around 10 million which is recouped quickly from a successful drug. Then where does the extra money go to after that? Successful drugs kickstart the next project constantly, where do you think pharmaceutical companies get their money for research? Gullible investors or just simply being rich in the first place?
What he did was absolutely normal. If you follow biotech stocks and read the news for them you'll discover this. Is it morally right and fair? Maybe not. But it happens all the time and the world continues to work. It's one of the loop holes that allow people to continue to advance the world and discover new things and fund their projects while doing it.
It's difficult to tell if he was just going to constantly buy patents and mark up drugs to collect and hoard wealth or start research to develop new things, he was replaced as ceo too soon, and this whole annoying controversy happened. But the company he started still exists and they're apparently doing research on things. Currently they are working on Vecamyl.
And no stealing an iphone or any product from stores does not increase the price in stores.

I probably should that put that in the title or something but if you mess around with options you would understand. It's 14 contracts at 0.81. 1 contract = 100 shares. So 1400 x 0.81 = $1134. Made $2338 off a $1134 investment

RH's entire business model was just to break even, to get them up to this very point - the point where it can finally start offering options trading to it's village of retards. Now that the options train has arrived in the station, RH will make its money by just shorting its clients on options settlements, since they will never know the difference anyway.

## Speaker_2: ##
You held over night?
## Speaker_0: ##
I dipped in and out once on the day for about $120 profit. Got back in when the market seemed to be taking a fat shit. Was up $600 but I had already used my 3 day trades. Hate that fucking rule so much. Thought I’d be fine overnight but nah b. Ended up down about $60 so the day ended fine but that was still like a $700 swing on a 3k account. Shit hurt
## Speaker_3: ##
Sell puts the strike below it to lock in your gains. By below I mean lower price, don't accidentally create a credit spread lol. You can sell one that's further away if you're still locking in gains but confident prices move in your favor by the next day, or closer if you aren't and just want to cash out instantly. Then sell your original put and buy back the one you sold the next day to close the position, or if the day is really volatile and you like to trade then buy back the other one when SPY is higher and sell your put when SPY is lower for max gainz. Or fuck that part up and lose more money.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Trying to figure out what you said here, so forgive me for typing it all out. So let’s say I buy an ATM $MSFT put FD with a $105 strike. $MSFT falls to $100. My contract is now up maybe $500 dollars. I’m all out of day trades, and the clock’s winding down. So to lock in my gains, I sell a $104 put for about $450.
Scenario 1: $MSFT opens at $110. My 105 FD is worth maybe $40, but the 104 I sold is worth about $20. I can close the whole thing out and walk away with about $470.
Scenario 2: $MSFT opens at $95. My 105 is worth $900. The $104 I sold is worth maybe $810. I close out of everything, and I walk away with $540.
Did I get all of that right...?

Bought 149C @ 3.00, sold them for $10.20 today. Good day.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Can you please explain what that phrase you used means? I am new to options.
## Speaker_0: ##
I expected the price of Apple to go up as I assumed they would beat earnings. I bought a call with a strike of $149 with the assumption that Apple would be above $149 on market open. Well, Apple beat earnings and the stock did go up. On market open Apple was $159, which caused my options to gain value and bring me my mother fucking gainz.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But what did u mean by @3.00 ?
## Speaker_0: ##
That's how much my options contract was. Which is actually $300, because each contract is 100 shares. The current AAPL contracts are:
* Strike $157.5 Call is $1.66
* Strike $160 Call is $0.79
* Strike $162.5 Call is $0.11 etc etc etc.
Price of AAPL goes up, contract price goes up and you make money. AAPL goes down, contract prices goes down.

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.

That bump after the flat line was a lucky +44% gain in 2 days on HMNY. Don't worry. HMNY was only responsible for like 2k worth of losses. Even I could spot how ridiculous that company is.... was? The huge drop right after was me getting caught up in the short volatility debacle of 2/5/18. Gotta appreciate that good ole market manipulation of CBOE futures contracts!
## Speaker_2: ##
> market manipulation
Care to explain?
## Speaker_3: ##
Etfs that were short vol and levered were vulnerable with vol at a very low starting point. An actual market event started vol spiking, but then some sophisticated players saw that they could push up the futures to cause these etfs to have to buy in their positions and capitulate at which point these players could sell their futures at a profit into the forced buying... so we... I mean they, did it.

Ehhhh that could be revisionist history. Lots of smart people lost money on that.
## Speaker_3: ##
>Smart people
I think you have a little reading to do because anyone with a basic understanding of economy OR history could tell you how bad of an idea it is to detach money from gold. No smart man lost money. Smart men gained a lot of money in housing and open loans when they let the economy crash and burn. Smart men spread propaganda for the idiots to buy so they could cash in all their money and repay none of it.
America will crash and burn its economy again. There is literally no way it will not happen. Whenever a government and banks can corruptly print dollarydoo like no tomorrow, the currency remains monopoly money.

That's some sweet risk taking. Congrats man.
## Walls1337bot: ##
My rule is to scalp with roughly 1k.
That keeps my risk limited, and Im willing to give up on a scalp if it starts going against me.
Thursdays are particularly good for scalping due to decrease/decay in options prices. Also important to buy realistic strikes. High volume contracts with large open interest as well are great for scalping because of liquidity - in the moment you want, out the moment you want.
## Speaker_1: ##
any other tips about scalping options for autists like me? really dumb it down
## Walls1337bot: ##
Also keep your size manageable. I like 1k or slightly north of it. Feels small enough to think clearly, and big enough to have an impact for scalping. Scalp with something that doesnt feel too big because you will lose sometimes. Or partial losses.
Sometimes Ill size in. Like grab $500 worth or so, then avg down with the other $500.
## Speaker_1: ##
thanks!! I appreciate the solid advice. I know that here in wsb we can fool around a lot, but this golden nuggets of information are priceless imo
## Walls1337bot: ##
You’re welcome! I’ve learned a good deal from people here too.
By the way, one last thing I do is usually put the profits from scalping in long term options on something like MSFT itself or other stocks.
Currently sitting out with cash after a fairly successful earnings season. Here is my NFLX scalp. https://m.imgur.com/a/09jOUDb <—- also basically only 1k committed to scalp
I like scalping after drops if a clear direction presents itself.
Waiting till after AMZN reports to start going long again. The market will likely follow AMZN.

I'd rather eat Papa John's over Pizza hut or Dominoes any day. You can really fucking tell the difference in the ingredients used for the crust. Papa John's has the best fucking pizza dough hands down out of all the pizza franchises. Its strange though.... How all of the sudden everyone on Reddit started hating on Papa John's after the NFL incident. When before nobody said a damn thing about Papa John's pizza. It's because the alt-right declared Papa John's to be their official pizza as a fucking joke. Jews hate the alt-right and used the share blue and their multiple disgusting organizations to spread a hate campaign against them. This won't hold up. Papa John's is some good fucking pizza. People will keep buying it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
What a retarded pile of drible. Papa Johns lost democrat/urban support when the cuck whined about Obamacare the same day he posted pics of his castle years ago. He rode the NFL deal hard giving Pjs about a 200% growth from the sponsorship but even managed to fuck that up. Going to watch spiral from game day loss alone. Also, learn what good pizza tastes like because that ketchup/ garlic on white flour/garlic aint it.
## Speaker_1: ##
why the fuck do people use politics to decide where they get pizza.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Because normal people don't give money to companies that do not support their values? For example Costco keeps growing because of their great PR (and their food selection being waaaay cheaper than walmarts). I shop at Costco over Sams club because they treat their employees better and form good relationships with suppliers making everything that isn't milk or shoes for some reason way cheaper then Waltons stuff. Costco is about 12 miles further then Sams but I go out of my way to support a good company as they match this particular consumers values such as fair wages, low prices, and community support.
Papa j is openly a wanker with shit pizza, shit employee relationships, who just shat on the only thing (NFL) he had going for him.

For the RH fags who are addicted to their 3x ETFs, here is an example of options leverage. AAPL moved up $1.57 today, and my day gain on those positions is over $12,000.
To get $12,000 in daily profit out of holding the underlying, I would have to own ~7,200 shares of AAPL, at a total cost of well over $1MM.
I've spent $50,000 for my current AAPL options positions. That's options leverage.
EDIT: AAPL down 20 cents from those highs, and now my profit is 10k. Again, leverage works both ways.

Tesla is not the rule. It's the exception.
You just saw FB declare they will be less profitable going forward.
Meanwhile Tesla has never been profitable yet its made retarded gains.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I wonder if it's less "investors are assuming they hit their next 16 quarters" and more "FOMO as an investment strategy."
The parallel is the first dot-com boom. People missed their chance to get into Amazon or Sun or Cisco at low prices, so they'd pay $137 per share for OnlineColostomy.com in the hopes of not missing the trend where we're all living in a cyberpunk future.
Here, the underlying trend is the expected turnover in the auto sector-- switching to EV/hydrogen, autonomous vehicles, switching to fleets/rentals/services instead of two cars in every garage. There are relatively few currently public companies you can buy into that represent that future, and Tesla is probably the most prominent one of them. So you've got a lot of money flowing into TSLA. If Uber were public, or Waymo were an independent firm, you'd expect to see some of this cash heading there.
To me (disclaimer: own Tesla shares) the interesting aspect is what the less ambitious endgame is.
If they can deliver their promises, they will be ready to replace Fiat-Chrysler as the other "Big Three" automaker.
If they fail completely, they've established a luxury brand with a very strong fanbase, an asset I can't imagine nobody willing to buy at a discount. Frankly, there are probably a few significant carmakers who have weak or no EV roadmaps, and I could see them licensing Tesla tech or buying the company in the event of impending bankruptcy to get into the game.
If they split the difference, getting to profitability is probably simpler now than it was a few years ago-- a lot of the one-off startup costs have already been taken care of.

Where do you guys predict QQQ bottoming at in the next couple months? I'm still holding QQQ $160p 1/18/19 that I'd like to sell when it's at 150 or lower. Too bearish or not bearish enough?
If my intention was always to sell at 150 anyway, should I have bought these puts as a bear spread? Buy a 160p and sell a 150p?
## Speaker_1: ##
The way we're headed I think you're ITM before expiration. The next big catalyst is the Fed meeting, which is now also just bad. If they raise,bad, since some places are really stupidly pricing it out of their bids based on market economy. If they don't, suuuuuper bad since everyone then knows they think the economy is going to shit. I don't know what they could say to make it go up at this point. You also have the wildcard of whether or not our president gets charged with two felonies in the near future. If that happens we'll then hang the fuck on.
## Speaker_2: ##
I was shocked that all the possibly no (or delayed) rate hike talk on Friday didn't move the market a fucking inch.
I'm trying to figure out if the market is tired of reacting to rumors, or if it knows that if a hike isn't necessary its because the economy is slowing. I'd like to believe its the latter, but I'm not sure things are that dire right now...just heading down that path.
## Walls1337bot: ##
For what it's worth, I think Friday is what was supposed to happen on Thursday but volatility got out of hand because one of the market makers sold too fast and screwed up the planned sell-off (probably Goldman Sachs) so they had to buy everything back to avoid getting hit by crazy otm options. Friday was more controlled it seemed
## Speaker_1: ##
The price movement at the end of the day felt extremely controlled.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thursday or Friday? Honestly I just like the idea of all of them getting together on Wednesday and planning a sell off and then Goldman Sachs totally ruining it by selling too quickly. Then when they met at the Illuminati hideout on Thursday night GS showed up and was like "Hey guys! Heck of a day huh?" and BoA was like "You're getting another downgrade cuz of this"

The guy definitely makes an absurd amount of money but it’s not like he started a company in his garage that went on to make millions if not billions of people’s lives easier or anything...
## Speaker_1: ##
Seriously why should a warehouse laborer and Jeff Bezos make the same amount of money?
Manual labor requires an insane amount of endurance and is mind numbing but any able bodied human can do it. Those that fight hardest to increase minimum wage are the same people that will complain as robots replace low skill jobs.
## Walls1337bot: ##
No one thinks that. It would be cool to get like a ten cent raise though.
## Speaker_1: ##
Are you going to be happy with a ten cent raise? Are you sure? All this will go away with a ten cent raise?

Musk wouldn’t give MSM ammo like this to attack him. He’s not making shit up because his feelings are hurt. Think about motivations when you hear about stories and media’s reaction to those stories.
How did you form your opinion about Elon Musk and about this situation specifically?
[Why has the media been relentlessly attacking him for the past few months?](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999367582271422464?s=21)

For context, i'm this guy: https://ns.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/7kn8g9/id_rather_be_lucky_than_smart_behold_my_dumbest/
BTW, the numbers for my gains are different since the total balance is listed in CAD but the account i'm trading in is USD. The total balance also counts other investments i have.
It's mostly cash now because i liquidated my position yesterday after i took the screenshot.
Anyway i'm responding to this guy from a couple of weeks ago: https://ns.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/7hm2ob/1924_in_a_month_doesnt_sound_like_a_lot/
If anyone is interested in my YTD performance numbers you can see them here: https://imgur.com/a/BzZ18
I actually started with around $120k capital (i can't remember the exact number) and traded upward to $279k, when i saw GBTC go parabolic i went all in. In hinsight, i should have just bought and held, and i'd be sitting on $3 million right now, but i'm stil happy with $1 mill.
If anyone asks if you should do this: DEAR GOD NO. This was seriously fucked up. I almost died. This was insane! That was pure luck. I was not in control of that situation at all. Look at this shit. Why do i keep doing this to us?! I don't know, WSB. Maybe I hate myself, maybe I think I deserve to die. I don't know! I'm going home for christmas.

This explains the concept for better than i ever will: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax

TIL I learned that in Canada only 50% of capital gains are taxed. So you're looking at a $387k CAD bill rather than what would be a $675k USD tax bill.

No kidding. I'm jealous. At high incomes Canada has lower taxes than the US. So much for socialism.

LOL, there is this public perception that we Canadians are kind, generous, wonderful people with a strong social safety system and enduring cooperative culture...
... but underneath that facade we're just as much as greedy, cocksucking, corrupt, money grabbing, asshats that will chew on each other to get ahead as much as any other nation...

Don't worry scro. there's lots of tards out there living really kick ass lives.
Stock's overvalued, they make all their money from phone sales which are down in their only real growth market, China, and are losing market share to android phones. Only thing happening this year is iphone 7 which will be a loser, so people will wait until iphone 8. Iwatch failed miserably, mac sales are down, they don't really do anything else. Doesn't matter if they make money, in the near term they're gonna have lackluster performance. Steve Jobs is dead, kind of hard to have a cult without a cult leader. I haven't even gotten to the general world economic slow down that's gonna turn into a recession. Get pissy if you want, I'm the one making the mother fucking money; gonna exit in the low $80s.
