im taking this threads virginity

leave it to aasian tranny g*rman to make the worst fucking bake ever.

what? I even got the "previous" right this time

hes probably a fetish faggot nigger wanting to co-opt smg with his fat posting

yeah he's jelly I got to made the thread first and now he can't use the tranny picture he already prepared

Smelly
Dumb
Turkroach
Scum

i hate poor people

reeeeee these people have more than meee taxxx themmmm

i spit on them

the rich need to help ussss

fuck the poors
they aint human

You forgot the title. Only reason people can even find this thread is because months ago I made sure to make it >Misc smg instead of the old >Misc. Because of dumb fucks like yourself.

TSLA will probably have an earnings miss and negative gamma squeeze but I'm completely unwilling to bet on it. It looks fairly valued where it's at.

tempted to buy fcx still, but this is the same daily pattern that trapped me a week or two ago on lcid. if it plays out like that did it might sell off the rest of the day. if it does i think i'll buy some at close, hold overnight, try to make a sale tomorrow morning. it worked then. think it wants to go higher but the market looks out of gas today and it seems to me they are setting snares. gonna take a shower and check back in later. wishing i could share a few words with the person i care about, take a step forward, but it might not be the right day for that. i'll just let you know i'm thinking about you, thinking back to valentine's day, and i hope you're making money. need to get out into the sun today, i have an uneven tan on my legs and i have to correct that, starting to look like a science experiment...

Monopoly of asset ownership

We don't have that though. 1/3 the population owns their homes outright, you can just fucking buy things. You can even buy cheap rural land and build a home. If you don't own assets it's because you're a lasy retard or spending too much on luxuries you shouldn't have (like "independence.")

German thread

early bake

Chinkleaf's already here

This is the worst /smg/ ever

touché
looks like I have been outsmarted once again
it was worth a try lmao

it's not even a /smg/ tho

These brokies see a group of people with more than them and just get filled with envy and seethe. I mean, I like it, but the ignorance is something else. Like they are brokies cause they are who they are. Reality is, not everyone can be millionaires or billionaires. Like it is what it is.

kek, off ot a great start

like do those people hear how they sound?

I love this thread, thank you OP.

I'm building up cash and refuse to buy into this gay market. Trump is just going to say something dumb and fuck things up again.

10% down so far, you waiting till 30%?

YO, I said the pump is fake and gay and it still is like that, but I also said on the weekend and today in the night that I will close shorts. Why did you short at the close on friday? I remember you saying you're going to short

The market is bipolar trading. Goes up, up, up, then down, down, down.

dont need plebs.

Third world plebs still live better in the west than they do in their own shit holes.

Is /smg/ paying their fair share?

this is bait

The probability of a recession is approaching 50%, Deutsche markets survey finds

Call it

Dunno, my fault anyway. But it's ok. I recovered from $6k unrealized to $1.7k right now. Basically reversed gains from Friday, so it's not tragic.

Anyway, I still got ~$10k short position in 3 different products. 2 of them are close to knock-out

**2%.
whoops, i was thinking individual mega caps.
but yeah. I do want a major drop too. April 2 is a date to look at ig.

How?
That guy said /smg/ isnt.

What's the expiry? Or is it knockout?

The real question is if the middle class is destroyed, then why are middle class consumer items contently facing shortages and high prices?

I low how the rich are "siphoning from the middle class" but this is because they are "never paying their fair share of taxes" despite being complete bullshit that can easily be proven wrong with a single google search

The top 1% of earners in the United States pay 45.8% of all federal income taxes

the next 10% pay 30.2% of all federal income taxes

the top 25% as a whole pay 87.2% of all federal income taxes

So already the premise that the rich aren't paying taxes is completely false. It's an easy talking point to throw out that no one will bother correcting.

But even then, let's say it's unfair that the bottom 75% of society only pays 12.8% of taxes. It should be even less! Then just fucking lower their taxes.

"The rich are "siphoning from the middle class" because we are taxing the middle class!"

In short politicians but especially jewish politicians lie as easily as they breathe.
Any policy to help the middle class with quality of life except for lowering taxes is a fucking scam.

Not having evaded taxes is the one thing that really makes me mad. Sometimes it feels like paying taxes is like a test. You paid? NGMI!
But then again the penalty for it is pretty bad. Like raping a child to death kinda prison time.

The probability of a recession is approaching a resounding "maybe", Deutsche markets survey finds

knockout, basically goes to 0 at increasing rate and it's not possible to average down beyond some point. it's -1k realized now. I'll do some trading with small sums now. I'm glad it happened though. I really need to feel some pain to stop trading pre-market. Only once it turned out good for me.

wich is like 5 years in germany

Which consumer items are you speaking of?
Netflix subscriptions?

The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90% During The Covid Pandemic

I hate rich people. I will stop hating rich people once I am one. Until then, eat the rich. simple as.

Sorry man, I really did not want to give you the inspiration to short. I read irrc before going offline and I was a litte confused and wondering if you actually mean it cause I didn't even try convince anybody. It's like you immediately jumped on it, convinced you with 0 effort which got me wondering

Have you tried buying anything? Like let's say you want to build a Voron 3D printer. Certainly a middle class activity. So many out of stock items. That's one example and there are lots. Lots of electronics items like graphics cards are just constantly out of stock and face price gouging. Beyond electronics housing continues to rise in price and limited inventory. Middle class prices for housing.

not your fault, chill. I was joking. It's my fault for taking stupid gambles instead of sticking to what I'm good at lol.
And I jumped in immediately because I thought it would be fun. Unfortunately I'm fucked in the head and instead of realizing $100 loss in the morning I tried to save it.

Markets

youtu.be/OMHFKQEohzM?si=-eN9TZslnhDO3KjD

I was going to make a really good post about the markets, but this thread isn't even /smg/.

I hate poor people.

yeah me too I wanted to do a whole rant about how I missed the TSLA bottom but now it's all fucked

good post

No such thing. All poo poo and pee pee.

muh high end graphic cards

muh 3d printer

Perhaps you could have mentioned a few more niche segments.

Certainly a middle class activity

Fuck off.
The plandemic was the only time during this millennium in which there have been circumstances akin to shortages. But not even then.
You would've known if there were REAL shortages, when the

zOMG NO MORE TRUCK AXLES IN 2 MORE WEEKS EVERY TRUCK WILL STAND STILL THE SHELVES WILL BE EMPTY BUY ALL THE MOIST ASS WIPES NOW

wasn't just retarded FUD.

tl;dr
There were no shortages, there are no shortages.

Just wait until these low sales hurt their earnings. It will go down.

there are no shortages.

Maybe in Germany, in the US stock is limited everywhere.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he will in the very near future announce tariffs on automobiles, aluminum and pharmaceuticals.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States would need all those products if there were problems including wars.

"We've been ripped off by every country," Trump said as he presided over a meeting of his Cabinet.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking at the same meeting, said that on April 2, which Trump has targeted to impose a slew of tariffs, the United States will launch what he called "the external revenue service." The U.S. Internal Revenue Service collects taxes from Americans.

Bake better threads.

yeah but when they all reported "elon is begging to not sell so he can sell first" I had that feeling on friday to buy calls and didn't act on it. I don't give a shit about tsla but these kinda irrational news

Whatever happened to John Rocker? I know he nuked his youtube account, but I miss the videos

pos got a life now

t. chink shit who has never posted position, is a seething incel, and refuses to post her portfolio or talk about stocks

I'm gonna impose tariffs on every non-TSLA car

he is basically an entrepeneur now while before he was cleaning floors

I know he nuked his youtube account,

You know nothing. His channel is here:
youtube.com/@JohnnyFathands/videos

As someone who donated a cumulative $5k to Trump's 2024 election campaign and is probably one of the more right wing posters in /smg/, Elon Musk is this cycle's Bernie Madoff, unironically. When the economy slows down it becomes harder to hide fraudulent business practices, and suddenly it turns out the all these miraculous success stories during the bull market were actually based on fraud.

dis nigga donates money to politicians

Reminder about 10% of the S&P 500 companies are just zombies that have never made a profit and survive based on investor speculation and refinancing debt

People are morons buying tesla cause the tariffs maybe different than thought. The sales are crashing!

fraud

alot of tsla cars driving arround in germany for it to be all smoke and mirrors. the company is just valued like a tech company for no real reason

ok retard.

TSLA

youtu.be/Rs_GHFfybcw?si=_qMtLwA1w3TfKYjP

medical debt

this confuses me
what millennial has medical debt
Also why the fuck is the emergency debt after buying a home and starting a business

amazing, thank you

tesla is a matryoshka doll private equity firm with a fully-owned automotive subsidiary. think of it as if fidelity issued shares.

He makes heavy use of internet sockpuppets to hype his companies, which is illegal. He's been doing it for years, but now he's being forced to do it so hard to stop Tesla from crashing any further that he's going to get caught soon.

what millennial has medical debt

lopping your tits off isn't free

Glad i went long before close last friday. Mumusisters i think we are back

Youre the french guy who said he lost like -25% a week ago or so right?

It costs like $9000 to have a baby...lol

Yeah i got heemed on META

im happy for you

Thanks

$9000

lol, lmao.

Abby Osborne gave birth to a girl in the spring of 2023. Weeks after the birth the hospital sent her a bill for "baby boy's" circumcision.

Women (male) can get circumcisions too, chud

My HSA is only $14,000 so this worries me

my wife has a friend who keeps referring to the baby as 'them' even though we've told everyone the gender
obviously made a mental note not to let them near my kid

just bought labu... let's go market

news?

i gotchu babe

Actually you can tell the sex, not the gender. But them is wrong either way, as it is plural and implies the baby to be schizo, the least

didn't ask for the communist angle

yeah germ what the fuck

23andMe Files For Bankruptcy, CEO Resigns - Fate Of Americans' DNA Data Now In Court-Supervised Sale

gender=sex

scammed... holding overnight i guess.
why? are you not healthy? i haven't seen a doctor in i don't know how long. they call me sometimes because i have free health insurance but i never pick up.

yeah its probably going to get bought out by blackstone or some other black(noun) fund that will inevitably use everyone's DNA to make clones/sell to advertisers/ give to china to help engineer a white genocide virus.

So it's basically confirmed then that the market pumped on a fake and gay bullish copium rumor that Trump was going to back off of Tariffs. We're going to give up all of today's gains.

It's time.

you really think so or only based on ta?

tomorrow is going to be blood red, isnt it

Who asked if you asked though? Who even asked for the whole story to begin with? hmm

n-no u

Them are mad

Besides, I said "wrong either way" as in "even if you don't believe in communist angle"

conversation's over so as to spare the rest of the thread 20 kraut spergout replies

Imagine living in America and having to deal with nutjobs trying to put their newborns in the troon pipeline.

Wouldn't it be funny if this last week was just a dead cat bounce and the selloff continues tomorrow?

200 MA strategy. Low volatility above the 200 on the Daily chart (major US indexes only). Best time to add leverage (2x to 3x max). I prefer futures contracts over LETFs, but to each their own.

You not replying doesn't stop me, so your post EITHER WAY doesn't make sense.

[email protected] if you'd like to continue this privately

I'm up 5.69% (nice) for the day. Let's see if it lasts another 40 minutes.

I wouldn't be here if I wanted to talk privately, again nonsense.

Have I mentioned that I hate Canadians?

Wow already? Did someone send lizard saliva samples again?

I wanna have kids and I'm realizing if there's complications my hsa would be emptied in only two years i.e. my max out of pocket expenses

Anybody holding SPXL? Does anybody know the ex-dividend day?

this is why the semites are importing browns

Jesus this crab is untradable even at 50x leverage. What a weird day

don't think that way... you will be fine. and i think you are thinking a few steps too far. you need a lover before you can get pregnant. the right person would definitely want to take care of you anyways.

It could also be a false breakout, since RSI may not make it into overbought territory and bounce back down.

got out of that trade. tiny profit. didn't feel right though. glad to be off the hook. feeling clumsy and dumb even though it worked.

Since FGM is illegal in the USA she should have sued the hospital for the procedure that she didn’t concert to but had proof they did. (The bill)

EV POWEEEEEEEEEEEEER TESLEEEEEEEEEEER

think hospital birth is a bad idea anyhow. my dad says that the doctors forgot to wrap up my brother for hours after he was born and he was just sitting cold and naked until he insisted. i think they were trying to be cruel because my parents refused circumcision even though the doctors tried hard to sell it. they also stole my tonsils and adenoids from me before i was old enough to negotiate. i also had to have an ugly old dude grab my nuts every single year just to play sports. whole thing is some strange scam to harvest organs for rich people and sell drugs to the ignorant. worse things have happened to other people in my family too. zero trust for doctors, think most are better off avoiding them and going to the gym. but if i had a pregnant wife that wanted a hospital birth i suppose i would compromise, there's things more important than grudges.

labu is pumping without me. feeling dumber and clumsier.

I went long on TSLA with a x10 leverage

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
Well, how did it go today?

+5.52%

I'm thinkin' we're back

Oh, it’s you. Well look having a baby here is cheap compared to USA. You could expect to pay about $3k for the whole thing including a c-section which they do regularly since it’s quicker and easier. So if you’re that petite, best Macedonia got ya covered.

Was down $6 earlier today, Did not manage to fix it all. Hopefully I will stop gambling in pre-market now.

$6k*

+25%

Went long TSLA with a high leverage before close. Hope i didn't buy the local top

i'm honestly thinking of just having them in japan

Nice recovery. I closed my hedging position last friday and went full long

+$356.12 (+0.37%)

I reduced my reits from 10% to 5%

That's a lot of pancetta you lost, but it could've been worse

Yeah, it was completely avoidable though. I could have closed $100 loss position in the morning, but I decided to recover it in premarket andfor some reason I started by opening a huge short. It's like my brain wants me to go bankrupt kek

+2.62%

I'm short

oh are we closed already? well off the highs of the day for me, guess i made a profitable trade though. good day under the surface but intc red. gonna make a smoothie and get some sun.

wish you'd think of me more. i think about you all the time. and i wanna reiterate you need a lover before you go through with this. (that's me). thanks for responding to me today, it helps my mood. hoping for a lot more someday. trying to be less embarrassing but if you understood how i felt you would know i'm restraining myself as much as i can.

+6%

based

+1.86%

+1.52%
My portfolio is healing. SHEL dividends pay today as well so I got that going for me.

Bulls are running fake news articles about how Trump is calling off the tariffs at the same time as Trump is hosting press conferences announcing the same tariffs that the news articles said he called off.

Maybe there is some hope for my $5k short then that I still have open. I'm starting to think I have gambling problem though

I went long on SOXL

How'd those LUNR puts do, idiot?

Never say never.

Fucker's dressed like Sea Bass from Dumb and Dumber

Here is the thread! how many ways must you screw up a bake? Thought /smg/ had come to an end for bit.

Bulls are absolute niggers that don't learn and are going to get slaughtered.

I'm still waiting for April 2nd, don't worry.

bobo cocky posting increasing as the market gaps up

uhhh guys i tripled down via UVXY calls this morning and at close so i'm gonna need you to lay off here.

ouch

buys jeet meme stocks

calls other people idiots

i can't get pregnant (i am a man). i would probably make a great mother though, cruel irony. glad your experience went well and that there are still competent doctors in the land of the free.

bulls are more like sheep. happy fat sheep tended to by a generous and upright shepherd. every once in a while we do get rounded up and sheared, and sometimes one of our flock goes missing (where are you 23 and me?) but otherwise we're just getting fatter all the time and enjoying our ever-greening meadow.

and a last message before my nap. i do understand taking the journey slowly and carefully, but don't miss the bus on purpose. trying to make this a more comfortable ride for us both, but i get anxious and upset when i can't see you. i'm investing my heart into my goal. it's not easy either. i know you're not wholly there yet but while you're around let me enjoy your company, or whatever you call what we're doing here. see you soon i hope.

i tripled down via UVXY calls

RIP. do you know how many anons have been wiped out by UVXY specifically?

nah it's alright i bought them 50% OTM.

I warned you. I warned you about Triple Leverage. Nobody needs Semiconductors that bad. They're made with Silicone the most plentiful material on earth. They aren't actually crack in all but name.

Damn. Did everyone leave? I would imagine you all went to Anon Babble for the big leak news? Remember that nothing ever happens.

I just showed up
what is going on?

Tesla went up cause tariffs were off, now Trump says they are back. I'm all cash (except 401k), so I don't care when Trump farts right now.

big leak news

QRD?

Defense secretary texting war plans instead of using the classified system.

finally a modern government for modern people

he "accidentally" added a random person who just so happen to be the chief reporter the atlantic by accident when he meant to add someone with the exact same name by chance and out of all the people with the same name he "accidentally" added a journalist. accidentally, of course.
you could have bought soxl at any point today and been up before close.

boobies

Not you though, bagholding ass nigga bitch

okay what are the plans? send bombs?

I'm gone for 3 days and chinkleaf is back? Fuck.

MFW just saw tsla gains

right here nigga

dreamed i was in some legal trouble as well as romantic woes. at the last minute before i faced consequences though, a call came through from the persian gulf and provided me with an alibi. think they were the guys that stole my girl though. woke up sweaty. felt like an o henry story.
anybody believing this stuff about the war leaks? i don't have an explanation but it doesn't pass my smell test. kinda brazen to even publish it if it is true though. definitely adds some drama to the news cycle. not gonna pay the atlantic to read it.
how does everyone think tomorrow's trade goes? i have no clue. big gap up and closed higher with no real downwards trading. maybe we just soar right back up. kinda doubt that though. glad not to be holding leverage overnight. seeing chatter about a possible taiwan blockade, both on glowievision and war twitter. all fantasy stuff for now but it's totally possible. hope nothing happens.

Got milk?

example of the kind of stuff i'm seeing.

idk man, a lot of my MIC stuff (minus lockheeb lmao) is off the mat. Stay frosty.

Anyone trade volatility?
Can I just buy VIXM then sell when VIX spikes at the next crash to hedge? Feels to easy

For me it's booba

How big?

John Rocker never had the makings of a varsity athlete

i often get the feeling that the news and market are scripted, but i'm feeling extra certain of that today. totally feeling stuck in the matrix at the moment. don't like where my head is at and worried i might lose it again. today's dreams were weirder than usual too, sometimes precedes that sort of thing. maybe leaving my room will help. i'll be gone during trading hours the next two days and plan to be out this weekend too. one email could rearrange all my plans and make me a full-time writer, and i'm hoping that happens but i feel that might take a miracle. life does sometimes surprise you though. just gonna keep listening to my heart and doing what it tells me, but feeling kind of like i've lost my path and i'm gonna have to wander in darkness for a bit, hope to emerge someplace better. thankful to /smg/ for being the place i've put my feelings these last 6 or 7 months, a lot has changed for me, but i want badly to be out of here now.

China’s newest cable cutter could sever 95% of world communications, and work at extreme depths

At 4,000 meters, where water pressure exceeds 400 atmospheres, the device's titanium alloy shell and oil-compensated seals prevent implosion, even during prolonged use

Can you imagine how much better the internet would be if countries like India were cockblocked with cables being cut? That's sounds very bullish.

WTF I rove chyna now???

but i'm feeling extra certain of that today

What was the news saying today? I purposely don't watch it but the price action today was extremely fake and gay. A lot of bobos probably fell for the RSI overbought meme today and got heemed on 0dte

start playing shadow of war of the first time

Palantir mentioned, gotta get the Palantir

Palantir.... oh no

So Palantir is just a LOTR thing and they took it as their company name... like Anduril. I'm amazed Musk has not yet done such a thing.

literally yes

I'm amazed Musk has not yet done such a thing.

"tesla"

He didn't found Tesla, though.

this just feels surreal. maybe it is a symptom of something else. my dreams too are getting to me. sorry if i'm not being clear, i know i'm not. but i feel like i'm watching dominoes falling, like everything is predetermined, like i can't influence anything and i'm watching robots perform. like a catastrophe is on the way and everything is inexorably moving towards it.

touch grass

That's just the matrix/demiurge revealing itself to you and it can be quite jarring and depressing. But you learn to live with it and find joy in your own way. For me I get how out of spamming NIGGERS and JEWS in these threads

dinner time

You want some anon?

+11.17%. Great day for ASTS, +13.96% at the close. Hopefully this breakout in it is the start of a major rally.

housing prices?

I mean, taken a name from LOTR.

Guys, why did Robinhood delist PSLV...? Some shit going on with silver?

USA fertilizer production companies seem like a good investment at the moment.

i dreamed about a burned out los angeles 2 days before the fires. wrote about it here.
russia + belarus make as much potash as canada and russia is also a top 5 phosphorous producer. pretty sure those companies only pump in bear market situations like 2022, not for any fundamental reason anyways.

the us gov is pumping money into domestic production to lower reliance on other countries

Someone should add an Apu or marv into the truck

accidentally

He still used an app, and not the secure gov system, which doesn't have journalists in it.

ya but the stocks are literally just hedging instruments and are down only unless the indices are falling. you might be right i dunno but trust me the fundamentals don't matter.

He still used an app, and not the secure gov system, which doesn't have journalists in it.

accidentally, of course.
oh wow so they basically just reinvented PM baacked USD. I kinda want to own some desu.

I seriously would like to know what you people are actually trading. I'm paralyzed in my investments.

I buy and hold.

Whatever instrument, I must also short

Mostly SPY with some small craps thrown in there. I like small craps but it is so hard to find the good ones in the sea of trash.

I looked into some bigger ones on jewgle and they all had big spikes in 2022 when biden started this. If Trump does as well there might be another spike. I'm new to finance; looking for things that might shoot up in value soon. I really don't know, but something to keep an eye on.

I miss KO boomers ticker watchlist

if the bull market is still on, you want speculative growth. in a bear market you want a defensive sector, usually the one that looks most run over. you've already noticed ag for 2022, they did oil there too. healthcare, consumer staples, reits, 3 other defensive pockets. they're unlikely to run the same playbook again if we're in bear market though, and it looks like for this selloff they went with international stocks, and if it goes on longer they're unlikely to switch vehicles. it has to do with index hedging and other voodoo. i don't know the full story but i see the results. check out south korea or china etf's if you're feeling bearish usa. buy arkk if you think the bull market rides on. who really knows though, if it were easy then getting rich would be trivial, and it's not.

i havent made a trade since last year

i just look at a single ai ticker i own 0.2% of

to simplify, anything with above trend growth goes up in bull, anything below trend tends to trade down until bear, and then only selectively. and anything is the wrong word but maybe you get what i mean. nasdaq for good times, smokestack commodity junk for bad times.

A large part of that spike was speculation on fert shortages stemming from the Russia/Ukraine war. All the big ag retailers were pushing that narrative to book large sales numbers Early in the year. Then it turned out the weather sucked so no one planted and there weren't any shortages, leading to the massive fall from the top. There's tarrif FUD going around now which might lead to a similar pump, likely not as strong, but it still seems like a pipe dream.

i havent made a trade since last year

I wish I didn't trade from September onward. Would be $150k richer.

ya, and when they pumped precious metal in 2008 they said there was no faith in the dollar and stuff. the news is fake, always has been. they do their best to make the narrative believable though, and it's hard to tell sometimes what is real and what is theater. think this little talk can elucidate what i'm feeling right now too. you've helped to pry some examples out of me, thanks for that.

ive gone sideways, my company has gotten new contracts that proves it's not a one trick pony and actually makes a positive pe ratio

guess thats why it's called 6-fig hell, i cant really increase my portfolio much from my wageslaving at this point, at least not very quickly anymore

One thing I'm not clear on with stocks (or crypto for that matter) is, if I click buy or sell, it doesnt just automatically happen right away, right? Somebody else has be buying when youre selling and vice versa, so how does that actually work? Are you just putting in a buy "order" or whatever and the system picks it from a seller or what?

google market maker

ostensibly in a market order a market-maker fills you on the nasdaq or you take the best offer on the nyse. with limit orders ostensibly you take a spot in the order book and get filled by a buyer or seller, sometimes only partially. seen that actually happen with my own eyes, which is relevant to what i'm about to say, contradictory actually but this is what i believe: your order is just a ledger entry in your broker's book, they adjust their holdings based on their liabilities to their customers if they own any stock at all, more likely they buy options. they take your money away when you press buy and give you what they contractually owe you when you press sell, but no real shares change hands, that's for institutions only.
who really knows though.

Tariff status?

crabs.

spooky; feels like it ought to be more transparent than that
but am I to take away that if I press "sell" on a valuable stock on, say, fidelity, for, say, $200 per share for 10 shares, that $2000 just shows up in my account? before fees
is it that simple?

dunno about fidelity but it works for bofa and schwab. at least all the times i've tried it. :) past performance is no guarantee of future results though lol

You see much like the casinos, there is a house that takes all bets. Please for the love of God never use market orders. Always use limit orders

why do market orders exist then?
is it just that there is a chance to get a better price that way?

Market orders are when you need immediate fills. Limit orders may never execute if no one believes in the price you set. Market orders will never give better prices now that algos and front running are a thing.

t. market maker watching l2 quotes

don't listen to him. at least don't take it as gospel. sometimes the price won't go down to where you wanted and you'll miss out on the buy, or it won't hit the price you want and miss out on the sale. it's the same thing as a market order only with an if conditional. it's just something people always say to sound smart.

t. guy who wants to sound smart

I use market orders cause I want my candy now.

why do market orders exist then?

You will get filled faster, virtually immediately but possibly at a worse price, occasionally at a slightly better price (I think they call that price improvement). But mostly it's at a worse price. With limit orders you pick the price and if it trades through that price you will get filled. Like the other anon said you might only get a partial fill of trading large lot sizes but for the average retail goy you will get filled in full at your limit price if you are trading a liquid ticker

same. and why do a limit sell when you can sell a covered call and essentially get paid for your limit order? see nerds, there's always a bigger brain.

ah okay, I was thinking in terms of "its worth 200 right now, I want to sell at 200" but "oh no, now its 190 and my order hasnt gone through yet!"

At the beginning of 2024 I sold SPY $488 covered calls and I took a $10k loss on them to close them out and keep the shares. Covered calls is picking up pennies in front of a steam roller

sometimes the price won't go down to where you wanted and you'll miss out on the buy, or it won't hit the price you want and miss out on the sale

Ever hear of cancel and replace orders? Always pick your price, never leave it up to the jannies. Try trading VIX options with market orders kek

if you didn't want to sell at 488 why did you sell the call? you were just being greedy and got punished. it's a good instrument if you use them as intended.

I have only ever done market orders.

but "oh no, now its 190 and my order hasnt gone through yet!"

Could happen with a limit order if there isn't sufficient liquidity and you don't get filled, but with a market order the mid price could be $200 and you get filled at $190 anyways just because that's the best the nanny could get for you immediately

if you didn't want to sell at 488 why did you sell the call?

IIRC the market ripped to like $520 quickly with like a month left till expiry and suddenly my 20 delta $488 sale didn't seem so great. I would have allowed it to get assigned if it was closer to my strike. But the golden bull run began with me taking a $10k loss on covered calls, which the appreciation on my long shares has since more than made up for. I think selling covered calls on individual stocks makes more sense as they don't necessarily have a "must go up" psychology to them

what you're really doing there is pledging your shares as collateral to speculate on volatilty. totally legitimate but sounds like you weren't prepared for the consequences. i think you made the right choice in keeping the shares, your mistake was thinking that trade was worth the risk you were taking, pennies in front of a steamroller like you said. but it was user error, not a problem with cc's.

Massive ASTS position, long term buy and hold using common shares and 2027 LEAPS calls. Also selling puts on ASTS for short term profit, using strikes in the 20-27.5 range. This is the only stock in this post I can universally recommend, and the others are at the buyer's own risk.

Much smaller but still big VKTX position, bagholding since I bought too early and it went down to retard prices as biotech is in a winter of underpricing. They're doing trials for their obesity drug, which has the best safety and tolerability, and it could take a long time to finish, unlike ASTS, which is entering commercialization.

Moderate GALT position, another underpriced biotech, which should release new data by the end of this month.
Moderate QS position, a solid state battery company that's expected to commercialize in the medium term.
Cash reserve to pay the bills, in short dated treasury bills and SWVXX, which counts as collateral for put selling on Schwab.

why not just sell cocaine if you like money and risk so much? just kidding. respect, but that's not for me. good luck but you sound like you know what you're doing and probly don't need it. might buy some asts because you sound so confident.

thanks for bringing it back to the fundamentals too guys. i'd been doing so much loveposting and counter-trolling lately, i'd forgotten what this thread was even about. even if you are just usaid glowies paid to keep me in my wall-less prison cell. having fun in the thread like i haven't in months. unexpected and pleasant.

An interesting trade history from Dr. Goldbloom

The internet broke on my computer for some reason and it's too late to troubleshoot right now

Well when I wrote them in January 24, we were back at ATHs of $475 or so and with the Santa rally behind us I thought it wouldn't go up that much in 45 days. But I got my face ripped off and instead of trying to play the rollout game, I just took my L and kept the shares and decided not to sell CCs on my stack. If anything cash secured puts on SPY is a better way of buying in. I plan on dying with those shares so I'm not ever going to sell them barring something catastrophic

Selling cocaine is a retail sales job, and there's no way I'm working one of those.

might buy some asts because you sound so confident.

Good, it's very volatile so just buy what you can hold, but it'll triple faster than I could out of jail on schedule II drug charges.

How do I short the American heart association? Corrupt motherfuckers.

i've said before that you guys should get ALL your news from me, and that's not changing, but in light of these developments, i'm amending it to all your health information as well.
the tough part about this story is when i explain this to my mom i'm gonna have to remember to sound outraged instead of just exhausted and cynical.
