Pretty great (terrible) thread. 
 

Some good ones, but my favorite is the wife that just did one trade on her own in a year.
 

 

Made $700k. She should’ve stuck with it! She has talent. 

These motherfuckers need to be booted from office, and their trading needs to be greatly diminished.  If you can’t find serving the country worth it financially, become a trader then.

  • That's why I'm out. There is no end game, IMO. This has to be fixed outside of the market and I got too nervous about what that entails for retail investors. They will always be last on the list, if o

Interesting, a fan of capital punishment…

I say let them trade, but they have to file a disclosure that's disseminated the moment the trade is executed. I could use some easy winners to tag along with.

I don’t think I’ve ever been accused otherwise.  Actually, I’ve got a few posters that remind me punitive acts don’t work, etc etc about 50% of the time I mention it.

Was sarcastic, ha.  I say force them to day trade.  

 

Had a (former) buddy who left the company we co-founded to bounce to Amazon for a ton of stock then later went this route.

Heard he’s back on the market looking for a gig…

Place your market post Fed announcement bets here.

I say a spike up >+1%, followed by a reversal and a 2% drop on the day.

Was the plus this AM wishing for Powell to say, "just kidding"?

 

Bizarre reaction to a completely foreshadowed action.

We've basically turned over the market to computers and algorithms. nothing is crazy and nothing makes sense. It just do it what it do. 

Just the fact that 3-4% Fed Funds Rate seems to mean doom to the U.S. economy seems silly to me. Now 13-14%? 30-40%? Yeah, I can see that. 

Honestly my bigger worry is national debt and political turmoil than 8% inflation and 3-4% interest rates. 

not the absolute rate, buts its the relative growth of the rate that affects the ("risk free") discount term that fucks up all the valuation models

It's been this way for a long time. No sense fighting it. It's in everyone's long term best interest for the market to grow, not decline. That's why I'm not worried about temporary dips.

We thought the world was going to end with the early 2000s tech crash, and then again in the 2008 junk mortgage crash. We'll again reach new highs in 2 years.

  I am back in IBRX but gone from ALPP and AMYZF.  I enjoyed the game but I see no signs that I’ll ever see those two grow.   
 

But right now any stock is probably looking like dogshit because of overall trends and cost of borrowing.

And deal with political consequences of that?  Lol

national debt has been in the trillions for decades and no effect.  Political turmoil peaked with Trump and the market was good.   Inflation is much more than 8%, closer to 25% , declining slightly due to gas down, but clearly not what economists state.  What do people buy regularly -- groceries and household items -- all of that is up closer to 50% no doubt -- butter, cooking oil etc.   .  Housing, vehicles up massive.  Who are the clowns saying 8%? 

It seems like every other week they put stocks on sale. I keep buying VTI but then there’s a better sale later. When does it end?

Yeah, that would have required a spine.

Hes going to have no hats when this all ends

First day during this thing where I've sensed some real panic from poking around online.

Even the 4% drop a few days ago felt like a temper tantrum. Now it seems to have turned into "we will never have anything nice every again."

Bought a little bit more of y'all's margin calls today.  Keep being bitch ass pussies.

Pretty sure you posted the Aggy football rollercoaster there.  

In March of 2020 I bought a Dec 2022 S&P500 put with a 2200 strike price.  It's worth $0.67 cents now.  (I paid more than that for it.)  So if the market could fall far enough below 2200 that I could get my money back, that'd be great.
