  1. Do we need to get the futureman-fister involved in this transfer portal window?
  2. I found this interesting: https://youtu.be/2wacXUrONUY?si=-8qlKzIirxGHrzWl Don’t know how to properly embed…
  3. While I get what you’re saying, the term insiders encompasses more than just officers and directors who receive stick benefits.
  4. I'm jumping in this "argument" but something I've been tracking for the past year. Multiple institutions were predicting bonds would outperform stocks over the next 10 years, Vanguard being one. I recently read there were zero inside buyers in the Mag 7 over the past year (not 100% certain on exact time-frame, actually). I did not verify this. These moves are volatile for obvious reasons, but I still believe we were going from point A (high) to point B (low) one way or another. The volatility in getting there is short-term trader fear, IMO. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/goldman-sachs-surprising-investment-forecast A couple of funds I've dipped into that seem to be poised for success and have kept the momentum from this week's "rally", YNM and ARGT (Vietnam and Argentina ETFs).
  5. He’s a nationally accepted expert on the ability to quickly put on weight.
  6. Found Surly's hooker and blow connection.
  7. This is the game, always had been. Surly will tell anyone who thinks outside the message board vacuum they are an idiot. This game is always the same, but different. Love him or hate him, he warned everyone it was coming, told everyone to hold tight, and then quite literally told us when to buy. This pattern likely isn't over so I'd recommend against anyone getting aggressive either direction. Side note: Living overseas at the moment is interesting. For the first time, I feel a strong sense of shame to be an American.
  8. You don’t think that would impact how many cart pushers Walmart has? You better think about your own job security.
  9. Just be careful with your puts, Black Swan events can happen at the bottom, too. Sometimes the truly powerful people eliminate problems that go against them.
  10. On one hand, I agree. There will be a better place to invest at some point. The problem is, the fear following something catastrophic prevents a vast majority people from getting back in, until it’s too late and they’re buying the tops again. Those people are better off staying in and waiting for the recovery.
  11. I’ll definitely listen to this guy over some blowhard on a football board who can’t detach from his emotions long enough to potentially learn something. I can admit my areas of weakness, truly desire to keep learning, and listen to anyone, regardless of their political affiliation or lack of. I still will not put 100% faith in anything.
  12. Dude, I have absolutely no sound opinion on what the “plan” is and don’t trust everything I read, just sharing information so we get different viewpoints for market decisions, which is what the thread is for. I did my best to stay awake in economics class and don’t claim anything above that level of education in the matter.
  13. We’d probably be shocked to know how much trading is being done via automation. Short-term trading is one of the most emotional careers a person can choose. The best traders are able to control their emotions and stick to their strategies. Now imagine today’s technology, with the ability to have the same training and rules, but with the capacity to simultaneously pull massive amounts of data, and void of emotion. Then imagine that machine in the hands of those with the greatest ability to control the market. I don’t think these machines are trading based on fundamentals, but are doing it based on instant market data, going long and short, while taking advantage of human emotions. In other words, don’t trust short-term moves either direction and broaden your view of what short-term means.
  14. This pizza keeps getting cut into smaller and smaller pieces and we still only get the same number of pieces.
  15. I’d post Trump’s latest tweet but I know where it would go from there. Take a look, ignore the rhetoric for this purpose, and I think it provides a picture.
  16. Yes, but Colombia is offering a package deal. As long as you purchase both from them, they will cover the cost of the tariffs.
  17. I can't remember the book, but there was a story about a new trader on the floor of this commodity firm. One of the suits stopped to talk with him one day and asked him about his trading. The young man explained his trading plan, "Market will drop to this line and I will buy because it will go up from here" type of plan. When the market dropped to that line, as predicted, the decline stopped and he made his buy. The young man was proud of himself. While still with the young man, the suit immediately got on the phone and ordered a relatively large sale of the commodity, since he had the authority to do so. As soon as the large sell transaction went through, the market quickly started heading back to the downside. Lesson learned.
  18. The house always wins. Where and when they want it to go, it will go.
