Re: Investing and Personal Finance
@n0el Did you end up selling Delta or still keeping longterm?
Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Thoughts on the market right now? False bottom and temporary policy related bump or real turn upward?

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
I'm completely ignoring all of these ups and downs. I'm going to wait until I start seeing good GDP growth, good job figures, etc. Once I see that the ship is stable, and back on course, I'll buy in. Until then, I don't want to risk the life boat trying to navigate the same waves which took us off course to begin with.n0el wrote:Thoughts on the market right now?

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Short positions are good. If the market goes down you make money, and if it goes up then life will be returning to normal and your losses will be offset by that fact.
Alternatively, short positions are bad. A million Robinhoodbux won't stop the looters, but guns and ammo will, so that's where you should be putting your cash.

As I said during our DNC_P stream, I’ve got all my free cash tied up in hoarding cases of beer. @deleted_user4 should be doing this too.Vinyanyérë wrote:Short positions are good.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
I'm not an economist, but let's not assume that this coronavirus does temporary damage. The economy's fundamentals might be good, but it tends to not deal well with setbacks. Those fundamentals are not too great when half of your companies are suddenly short on cash and all the governments are struggling financially.
Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Definitely wouldn't be buying long term stocks until we see how unemployment behaves post crisis. If most people can get back to work, things should go back to relative normal. If jobs are simply gone en masse post crisis due to a seriously sluggish economy we could see a serious long term downturn. Especially if we get in such a hole that stimulus won't kick start us out of.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Well it's been great for daytrading, you can kind of expect any relevant report to create a lasting trend intraday and to an extent you can expect a decent amount of selloff before any such scheduled report during these days unless people suddenly turn optimistic. Like yesterday when the unemployment benefit claims were getting released about 1 hour before premarket ends I was short through some cfd for a couple of minutes before it got released then just traded long positions for a couple of hours which went pretty well.n0el wrote:Thoughts on the market right now?

@Amsel_ @Amsterda__ @Horsemen
Anyway if you're thinking about some longterm positions I wouldn't advise you on that other than to hedge with some options, can't really tell much about the future but you can at least expect potential downsides to be bigger than upsides for indices.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Went up >13% today which is kind of bad since this was one of those days you could get 3 digit roi. Trying to branch out in terms of what I'm always paying attention to but I couldn't think of much. Thought of some ways to mitigate what I'm overlooking but it'll take some time to implement successfully and I have no idea to what extent it'll be successful if at all but ideally it could work out pretty well with little potential downside.
Ah well at least it was paper trading but I hope you avoid it if you're currently or going to trade with actual money because it'll distort your risk tolerance etc.Djigit wrote:Got fucked.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Yeah, I'd also advise to avoid leveraged strategies as much as possible, especially under the current circumstances.[TLDT]Amsterda wrote:Went up >13% today which is kind of bad since this was one of those days you could get 3 digit roi.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
I would generally agree cus compound interest but in the short periods where you can expect a certain movement for the next let's say 10 minutes or less I'd definitely use leverage in that case and maybe even a couple of hours intraday in some rare cases but not interested in keeping leveraged positions overnight. More importantly I think whether you're using leverage or not is to close your positions quick when you're down and close when upside becomes more limited as well. In the end you could profit from 6 out of 10 trades but if you average almost 600 trades a day you're going to accrue quite a lot if you're limiting downsides and it just keeps compounding.Djigit wrote:Yeah, I'd also advise to avoid leveraged strategies as much as possible, especially under the current circumstances.[TLDT]Amsterda wrote:Went up >13% today which is kind of bad since this was one of those days you could get 3 digit roi.

Re: Investing and Personal Finance
I'm considering buying some FTSE and S and P 500 for long term positions. If there is a 5 year depression due to the stupid government measures (in the UK at least), when are we looking at stocks returning to long term growth?
Is there anything that can be said confidently at the moment?

Can you ever say anything confidently about the stock market? If you could, it would already be factored in thereIs there anything that can be said confidently at the moment?
Re: Investing and Personal Finance
About as helpful as I expected.
Re: Investing and Personal Finance
Stocks are always in "long term growth". That is the idea behind long term buys. You buy something to hold for 10 years. If you buy a market wide ETF and hold for 10 years and it hasn't gained in that 10 years, the economy no longer functions as it has for the past 100 years.chris1089 wrote:I'm considering buying some FTSE and S and P 500 for long term positions.
