And that lesson ? Take the loss pussy.

First trade to lose money for me in my small foray into swing trading. Bought some shares of dia at the end of day last Friday . Sold them thankfully into a small rally this morning. Bought at 224.11. Sold at 222.78. Still up in my accounts this year but doesn’t feel good to lose. A small lesson learned.

It will be short lived I think but ethereum up almost 75% in the last week. Bitcoin cash up over 150% in 7 days. Most other coins up 30% or so . At least we know the fad isn’t over yet. Still gambling and 99 % of these coins are utter shit but there are some not so shitty ones that may end up making it. I wonder if bitcoin cash will actually replace bitcoin like some have said. Ethereum and xrp still have the most long term value imo. Those and one of the bitcoins either bitcoin or bitcoin cash. Prices really started going up right when we were getting close to the 100 billion overall market cap. Now back up over 140 billion. That and maybe the stock markets crashing . Maybe some people took money out of stocks and put it in crypto. God I hope not. Either way it’s fun to watch all of these markets and learn. Still on the sidelines in my crypto account. I haven’t even thought of actually transferring money back in and investing . Maybe some day and only to speculate .

may want to wait until we see whether or not it’s legal for a president to fire the fed chief . This fucking guy.... https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/22/trump-reportedly-wants-to-fire-fed-chair-powell.html

Seriously how am I , a Juliard trained day trader , supposed to have fun on my vacation when the markets keep preventing me from doing so. Just been on the sidelines all day . Still on the sidelines ... I’m not going to try and pick anything right now. Is this panick selling ?

So when does the smart money invest ? Because I’m being a giant pussy right now and refusing to buy because wtf.

The last demon I encountered dropped a +5 long sword and the Wand of Orcus.

So when a market tests a bottom for a second time in a month what does that mean?

I dabbled with crypto in Nov and Dec 2017 and made a small profit then got out asap. Im curious to see how cryptos will fare when we actually have a recession. Im betting many of those invested now waiting for the next big run up will have to pull their money for 1 reason or another. Couple that with Tether (google how it basically propped up Bitcoin for most of 2017; it's unwinding that prop up now) and the fact that the tech can infinitely copy each other and I think we still have a ways to go before bottom. I still look at my crypto apps at least weekly if just to educate myself on what a back half of a bubble looks like. My coinbase account is open with the money I made and will probably start looking to reinvest when the world is neck deep in the next recession. Probably ETH , hopefully at around 5-10 dollars a coin. Maybe XRP if it dips below 5 cents. Just patiently waiting cash in hand right now in all markets. I got time.

He is being pumped full of vanc levo and zosyn right about now. Depending on cultures most likely one of those for about 8 weeks will get him where he needs to go. Good luck to the guy . 71 million is a nice consolation.

TV movie? This was iconic 80s. The chick having her second lizard kid scarred 8 year old me for life.

Who the fuck goes for it on 4th and 6 from the 7 yard line. Why can’t coaches be this stupid when they play us. Take the fucking points

I am mesmerized

"Because I could get uromysitisis poisoning and die. That's why. "

HouTex, I don’t agree with who you voted for but you don’t strike me as a troll. You seemed pretty excited to vote for Cruz. I have a lot of republican friends who are Reagan republicans and are really torn this election cycle. Let’s see how Texas votes tomorrow . Curious how quickly this state is changing.

Came here to post this exact same thought. Almost word for word. You can smell the fear the republicans have right now. Math doesn’t lie.

So my wife and I were talking. The rural counties, early voting and mail in votes should all be counted by 730 or so. Where does Beto need to be sitting % wise in order to have a chance ? Obviously he will be down before the larger counties are close to being done counting their votes. We were thinking if he is down by less than 10% right at the closing of the polls he should have a decent shot to pull it off. Did I read earlier in this thread that about 78% of the voting population are located in the top 15 most populated counties in Texas? Has there been any analysis posted looking at this ?

Found this funnier than I should have

Voted for the first time in a mid term today. Here is my snap shot. i am in Denton county which is traditionally republican. I was amazed how many under 30 something’s were voting this morning . I’d say There were about 40 % minority voters and about 70 % women in the 15 or so minutes I was there. Busier than I thought it would be. Probably about 50-70 people were either voting or in line. Voted straight ticket dem. Let’s see how close we can get this

I’m not sure I understand what is considered good or bad. It seems to me both google and amzn at least had earnings as good as Facebook but without Facebooks baggage yet the markets plunged with the former and for some reason sparked a rally after Facebook released their earnings. Was the marker just tired of selling when Facebook released earnings or was there something fundamentally better in their earnings than google and amzn?

Is anyone else looking at possible head and shoulders patterns? If you move the amazon chart out 5 years you notice a distinct pattern forming. Same with the nasdaq and many other stocks and indices. Amazon would need to head down to around 1400 then would likely get a bounce as my dumb ass is not the only person noticing this. It would bounce up to roughly 1550 or so then crater. Spy would only need to go to around 258. My assumption is that no head and shoulders pattern has ever had to deal with Donald trump as president before so the numbers will most likely be off. All very interesting when you are on the sidelines waiting for an entry point .

Trump's Red Wave doesnt mean what you think it means. Just ask that caravan in the next couple of weeks.

I’m looking for a website like this but for stocks . For those who have dabbled in crypto currency it’s the gdax exchange. it shows all of the market and stop / limit orders for a coin. is there something out there like this? And no it has been many months since I tried crypto trading . It was fun though and I was a huge pussy and only stayed in about 2 weeks before getting out. I loved this tool though

I would buy amzn at 1500 right now but I’m scared to death of fb earnings after the bell. I mean seriously the stocks just can’t go down to 0 in 1 session ..... right? I guess it’s that plus the 2% eu tax on revenue and the new China tariffs that scares me a little right now . I think I’m gonna pass for today...
