Right on cue, redditors are talking about Pepsi, stock lending, Shkreli, NFTs, and Abe today. Here's what they're saying.




At firstsquawk is the topic seeing the strongest uptrend in chatter on Wallstreetbets today. Here's what's being said:

Definitely not aimed at us. Anyone on reddit is more likely to inverse Cramer instead of taking his advice. This is for the folks who watch television. They want to set the scene so that when GME rises they will think "those degenerate gamblers got lucky, better stay away from it."

Honestly tho, even that is pretty shitty. It wasn’t money you accumulated yourself, it was just handed to you by your parents who entrusted you to spend at least that amount of money “wisely”. But instead you YOLO’d it all 😂

It stopped at $484 only because they allegedly turned off the buy button, so that might even be the wrong number to use for this kind of math. I don't think anyone knows the natural peak it would have reached.

Not defending tiktok but if you have a Google app, Amazon app, Facebook/meta app they will all be doing the same thing + listening to you at all times, logging your location at all times, you've just not been told about it because they're US companies and TikTok isn't a US company...

I may imagine being a known commodity (to the point that I'm a pseudo-celebrity on television) in an adult business sector, and having the time or 'give a shit' to tweet... much less tweet AT people, much less get into a row with strangers on the internet... What a complete failure of a human being.

Inflation rate: 9.1% Fed Funds rate: 1.75% Unemployment rate: 3.6% 40 YR high inflation / 50 YR low unemployment. Those thinking we're near any sort of Fed pivot here are in for a bad time. Jpow will get demand destruction. Don't let it be your demand.

Inflation is at a record 9.1%. The Federal Reserve will be increasing interest rates at the end of the month. Monthly car payments have crossed a record $700 per month. Car REPO rates for PRIME borrowers have doubled! There is no fucking way we have seen the bottom! Do not FOMO all in.

Maybe so they can ease it down into the bag news next week instead of it dropping big all at once to achieve the "soft landing" the fed wants. None of it makes sense anymore. 9.1% inflation = spy goes up. Apple says it is slowing hiring like every other company likely is doing = spy does down
 

Nft is seeing an increase in chatter as well. Comments below:

"NFT Marketplace" - GameStop was on the 2nd page of Google. "NFT" - GameStop was on the 3rd page. "NFTs" - GameStop was on the 7th page. "How to buy NFTs" and "Buy NFTs" - went 10 pages deep for both, didn't see GameStop. They're probably 69rd page or something. I clicked the non-ad links and saw everyone's favorite astronaut. I love that monkey.

ninche60 - 264 upvotes - source
So technically every GameStop wallet could come with a nft. GameStop could pay that small fee to open up loopring L2 for everyone. = A free L2 wallet. This is how we achieve mass adoption.

Are you under an NDA for certain NFT related subjects in particular, or is it farther teaching? How deep do some of the crypto connections go?

Or if GameStop wanted to distribute an NFT dividend, they could drop them into unactivated wallets, and the wallets would activate.

#Y'ALL BETTER NOT MISS THIS POINT: SENDING AN NFT TO AN UNACTIVATED WALLET AND THE SENDER BEING PROMPTED (OR OPTING) TO ACTIVATE THE OTHER USER'S WALLET IS THE GATEWAY TO NFT DIVIDEND. **G-FUCKING-MERICA HERE I COME** People really need to understand the implication of this.

I think Wu Tang NFT is almost certain. Why would RC tease us with that picture of him in his hoodie? He could have easily not have been in the picture. He wants us to know that Wu Tang NFT is part of this whole saga. If I had to take a guess, I think he uses it as a way to get everyone onto the Marketplace. Everyone, even non-apes and those who don't listen to their music, would love to own a piece of history.

house_robot - 120 upvotes - source
That’s 50m people GameStop has a “lead” in onboarding to the blockchain (NFT marketplace). “Free commemorative NFT exclusive to PowerUp members who create a wallet” and similar promotions. Oh you’re not ‘techy’, or you’re confused and dubious, no problem just drop by your local GameStop store and someone can walk you through the wallet download/setup, something which basically no other NFT marketplace can offer since they don’t have ‘dying brick and mortar’. Needless to say think it’s a huge strategic advantage

terholan - 110 upvotes - source
I don't want to disappoint you, but for 10B business it is a drop in the ocean. For comparison, GameStop makes around 15.1M per day according to the last earnings report. 3.2M per day in gross profit. Let's imagine NFT marketplace will do $30,000 per day for a year, $30,000 \* 365 = $10,950,000 per year. I don't know where NFT market place will go in the future, but right now there is nothing to celebrate. Let's celebrate wins when they actually happens, and not prematurely.

bkhiker - 93 upvotes - source
"Nft marketplace" would be the best thing to search I think. We rank 2 or 3 depending on the day on AHREFs (search engine tool). We aren't on the first 2 pages of "buy nfts", but the traffic for that search term appears to be much lower. I think we could aim for nft marketplace and overtake opensea as the top result
 

Abe is another popular topic. Here's what they're saying:

Yeah I feel the same. Partner and I are early/mid thirties and both make money above the national average, yet we struggle each fortnight to get by and get ahead. Something needs to change. You can’t price an entire generation from buying houses/building houses and also raise rent so high that people can’t afford rent. Our plan is to sit tight Abe wait for something to change but hell it’s depressing just waiting and hoping eh
 

100bps is another popular topic. Here's what they're saying:



Berrymore13 - 12 upvotes - source
If next week unfolds like most think it will, this could get ugly real fast. If everything lines up: big tech all miss on earnings to some degree, fed potentially does a 100bps hike, and GDP confirms recession, this very well could trigger the capitulation everyone has been waiting for and we find the true bottom in the low 300's

am-well - 9 upvotes - source
🌽 has become such an obvious litmus test, when invisible database index positions are worth $22,000 people have way too much extra money. Can the Fed please for the love of god, please do at least 100bps. Please can the world please stop being crazy.

Hike it 100bps you pussies

Chaotic_23 - 2 upvotes - source
75-100bps rate hike is on the table, fed members are pushing towards a 75bps hike per their comments last week. Rate hikes will continue to be gradual in the coming months until they reach their 3-3.5% neutral rate, only gonna see higher rates with higher inflation and how CPI is weighted I won't be surprised if they start to cool on the rate hikes towards end of year Just gotta be happy were not in EU and dealing with extreme energy prices 😂

candyposeidon - 2 upvotes - source
A bull trap rally this week is happening but even then we all see that IR are probably going to be 100bps and that Q2 GDP is going for a contraction which confirms inflation. When financial institutions do poorly that is one of your best indicator.

candyposeidon - 1 upvotes - source
[The Article is a perfect summarization of Hype](https://time.com/nextadvisor/investing/cryptocurrency/ethereum-price-rallies-ahead-of-merge/) Okay I think I need to explain how BTC or Crypto got to were it is today. Two important evens in the late 2010s happened. First is Trump's 2 trillion 2017/2018 tax cuts. And the interest cuts of 2019. If you look at Crypto you can see when the financial institutions started to invest in Crypto because again most already invested in other significant assets like stock buy backs, tech companies, real estate etc. so they found another place to invest/put their money hence they divested into another sector that you didn't have to disclose to the IRS. The IRS loophole is what made Crypto the best investment sector around those times. This led to crypto becoming more of a better investment than stocks hence why you see huge pumps and increases however a few things have changed. First of, you know have to disclose Crypto in your Taxes. This was officially confirmed by the IRS this year. So financial institutions and banks started pulling out their money; hence the whole march situation. Then the cost of energy started going up which again affected transactions in crypto. Fees were high and they still are. Problem number 2. Problem number 3 is that we saw "Crypto Standard" Coins collapsing. Terra Luna was the biggest one this year. Look into that. Then you started seeing crypto hedge funds and even crypto brokers going under too. Problem number 4 is interest rates/inflation. Interest rates so low gave financial institutions free reign to invest into whatever; crypto being one of those projects and the increase of Interest rates meant that banks had and have to do refinance and start gutting assets and avoiding projects. Ask yourself between crypto, real estate, stocks, bonds etc. what do you think they would gut first? Crypto or anything related to crypto. Proof is in the statistics look. CPI is really high so Interest rates are getting increased by .75 and this upcoming hike it might even be 100bps because things are that bad. The only way I see Crypto going back is if Interest rates decrease but that is not going to for a long time in fact by September 21 they might do another hike which I think 25 or 50 bps to do a softer landing. (Only if they do a 100bps this upcoming week if they don't well .75 for September but that is too reckless.)

Does anyone still believe these pumps at this point? We've been here a hundred times since the collapse began in November and each time you guys are screaming that this time is different. But it's not. Inflation is still raging and probably far from reaching its peak, there will be more rate hikes, minimum 75bps and possibly even 100bps, and the general global situation is still a neverending show of bad news. Highly unlikely the bottom is in and when bitcoin takes the next plunge down, alts will bleed 2-3x as hard.
 

Stock lending is another popular topic. Here's what they're saying:

Because they want the public view of people who buy gme to be degenerate gamblers who buy 0dte on margin. The situation will never be presented by the talking heads and msm for what it really is.

In technical analysis there are two terms called golden cross and death cross. Usually it involves two lines crossing each other (two lines usually representing opposite ends. One representing a fast acting line, the other representing a slow acting line). SMA or EMA are various kinds of moving averages. Basically the average price over a certain period of time. So if it says 50SMA it means 50 day simple moving average. EMA is exponential moving average. In this case, we will use a simple moving average to not confuse you. In a golden cross, usually the short term moving average (50SMA) crosses the long term moving average (200SMA). Signifying a change in trend. if we were to use an analogy, 50SMA crossing upwards (bullish) is like the commando scouting party clearing the way during the war, radioing HQ to say that they control the beaches now. HQ(whales), confirming that the operation is a success then invests and sends the entire armada (200SMA) with the full force of thousands to follow through. Alot of traders, even huge institutional whales use these "crosses" as signs of entry or exit. You may not believe in the golden or death crosses but in trading, self fulfilling prophecy is a powerful tool. If 1 trader believes in a golden cross, nothing happens, but if 100000 traders see the golden cross and says alright alright I'll buy in, it makes a huge difference. A death cross is the exact opposite. Where people look for it to either exit or short a stock. In trading, the higher the time frame the more powerful the price movement will be. In a day trading time frame of 1-5-15min, death crosses and golden crosses happen all the time. This is why the price goes up and down. Usually the price action for this is like $120-128. Daytraders are short bias when they see death cross ☠️ ❌ and long bias when they see golden cross🥇 ❌. In a swing trading time frame of 3hr-1day-1week, if a golden cross happens expect the price to shoot significantly higher than the day trading frames. Price action for this would be ljke $128-150 If a golden cross happens on a monthly time frame, we are all going to Uranus. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goldencross.asp However all are these are "lagging indicators" where you will only know if it's bullish once it already happens. For example this golden cross was only official after a good month or 2 of rising from 80 to 150. Because it needed time to recover from the death cross since Dec 2021. In a way golden and death crosses are a way to push market sentiment. Alot of boomer technical traders including institution ones will be more confident when they see a golden cross. Aka FOMO incoming. The golden rule in trading is: never short on a golden cross and never long on a death cross. And there are many times where the lines actually tests the golden cross but doesn't fully cross over. So traders use these plus other indicators such as RSI, VWAP, Historical price resistances, company news, upcoming new product launches, world events etc to fit their bias to either long or short. If you think of TA as predictions, you will be disappointed. However if you pair it with real world news, developments and historical price action, you will start to see why many traders have TA in their arsenal of weapons. Edit: thanks for the awards!

Reorganization fees are charged by brokers when securities go through changes. Splits, mergers, acquisitions, etc - those can be some examples of "reorganizations" where the security is pretty much going through a bunch of different conversions and such. I'm not justifying it or anything, but this sub really needs to do a little more research on the mechanics of the stock market, brokers, etc. There's not a single broker out there that's your friend. Even the "best" free ones people love to throw around have fees hidden somewhere. There's no such thing as a non-profit broker in the US. They're all going to make money off you somehow. It's in everyone's best interest to know every single term, pricing detail, fee, etc for their broker. Read every last line, every bit of fine print, etc. For OP and others who can't find Etrade's fees page, here you go: [https://us.etrade.com/what-we-offer/pricing-and-rates](https://us.etrade.com/what-we-offer/pricing-and-rates) Under "Other Fees", you'll find $38 reorganization fee listed in there. tldr: treat your investments, trades, etc as a business and then this becomes less and less shocking when this stuff happens.

BBBY holder from the BBBY sub here. On the shareholders call they said to expect something about buy buy baby round end of July/August. Banks and general risk appetite has soured so whatever deal or spin off they wanna do is hard to do before the fed meeting and all the stuff last week of July imo. Been a curious build up of August options but a market maker is currently selling calls and then shorting the stock down to burn em. Since theres no real news for bbby and its fee at 6% isnt much downside, its a very easy target right now. That will end whenever something with buy buy baby is announced be it a sale or spin off. Considering the COKE tweet I am now in the spin off camp. But thats why its underperforming everything. Its an easy short target for shorts since nothing is going on…yet

AdAcademic3511 - 39 upvotes - source
Agreed. IMO it will be even more painful than DRS-ing pre-dividend shares because brokers practicing fractional reserve stock brokering and custody will almost certainly not have enough post-dividend shares on hand. I fully expect in the days immediately after the new shares "hit our screens," brokerages will come up with all sorts of reasons why they can't DRS shares in a timely manner. Do not let them slow play you. Insist it be done as you are legally entitled.

Biggest game people never heard of. I have friends who work in the video game industry and they all hate NFTs, even though I point out that people spends tons of money in digital games and in-game items (see: Diablo Immortal gems). I play Gods Unchained, which is basically a Hearthstone clone and it's a great proof of concept of why NFTs make sense with digital card games. I feel for DFV when he says that he felt like he was crazy when he was being ridiculed by others about his stock analysis of GameStop. NFTs and GameStop are going to be the biggest fucking I told you so (insert tuba meme). We took a rash of shit for 2 years, but we were right.

Probably is...but I have only ever had good fortune on it (solely short); haven't missed a trade and up around 12k on the ticker going in and out occasionally. It does require caution though, for sure. I need it to drop into the 60s again, will buy 5k worth of long dated calls, then short the everloving fuck out of it if it goes back above 80 (which it probably will). Also, those long calls could be eventual gold as CELH could get bought out by Coke or Pepsi or whatever (this possibility makes any short a short term proposal).

Thought experiment. If I take 2 similar but different popular funds $SWPPX and $SCHD and compare them over 2 years; the Schwab S&P fund is up 19.65%. The boomer boring Schwab Dividend fund is up 32.69%. If I go back 5 years the $SWPPX is up 34.91% vs $SCHD 29.70%. Top 10 holdings - $SWPPX - Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, Alphabet, Berkshire (largest stock position is Apple), Johnson & Johnson, NVIDIA, Meta. Top 10 positions - $SCHD - Merck, Home Depot, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Amgen, Pepsi, Blackrock, Pfizer, Cisco, Verizon. Which is more diversified? The index fund type $SWPPX where many invest their 401k money? Or the Dividend fund that isn't overweight tech stocks?

Someone asked me a while ago why I started working out. And I got a bit deeper into in than usual as I remembered reading a science-fiction book when I must have been around 6-7 about this engineer who basically created a weapon similar to a laser. The book had a scene where said engineer went for a swim and his body was described as pale, feminine and shapeless. Having read that, I immediately thought about what I DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE. And here we are. I’m jacked and broke and Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, looking every bit like the evil engineer from the sci-fi novel. The irony

Exon mobile lost 22 billion last year. This year they have made 22 billion. In the last 10 quarters, they have taken losses in 4 of them. Apple has made some 240 billion... in a year. They have never taken a loss in 10 quarters. While Exxon certainly is making profit now, they often do not. Overall they are average. And as others have said, they could lower prices, which would result in more usage, worse environmental outcome and certain outright shortages.

All my homies hate Cash App. Here is how you get out: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for an individual brokerage account at Fidelity. 2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In Fidelity go to account and trade > transfer 3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scroll to the middle, Start a transfer 4. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Select "Drivewealth LLC" NOT CashApp, as DriveWealth handles your shares. 5. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It will then ask for your account from CashApp. It's a 17 alphanumeric number. 6. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In CashApp select profile (upper right)>documents>stocks>monthly statements>date. You will notice at the bottom of the statement, it'll say DriveWealth. You will obtain all information needed for transfer. 7. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Initiate online from Fidelity side, send it to your brokerage individual account. 8. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say next and choose full transfer. 9. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Finish up and that's it. Should be done in 3-5 days. CashApp has no say in it and per FINRA requirements, has 3 days to expedite your request. There was a $75 fee, but Fidelity waved it. I think they usually wave that fee. They won’t transfer fractional shares. 10. DRS those shares once they settle!

1- Not really unless you're a game developer, but being good at mathematical and logical thinking will absolutely help. 2- Depends on your level. The more senior you are, the less code you write and more time you spend teaching staff, going to meetings, doing code reviews and dealing with stakeholders. Juniors and mid-levels usually do most of the coding in my experience. 3- Probably not very difficult if you have a visa. 4- No, front-end developers are being more and more valued since so many back-end developers are calling themselves full stack developers with poor front end skills. Most full-stack developers are back-end developers that "can write a bit of front-end if I have to". If anything the salary for good front-end developers with a good UX sense is at an all time high. It's fairly easy to transition to a full-stack developer though back-end is far easier than front-end in my experience. 5- I've worked in plenty of toxic workplaces, the place I work for now is awesome though. There will always be issues like any workspace but if you move around jobs eventually you'll find a place you love. 6- Reasonably often if you want to be a desirable developer. If you know one high-level and one low-level programming language well you can pretty much learn anything as you go. I've had to write a Golang API in 2 months having no experience with Go before. Being flexible and good at learning new stacks will get you very far in the industry. I'm a bit weary of hiring someone who calls themselves an XX Language developer. They usually are inflexible and will try to solve every problem with the same tool which leads to sub-par solutions. 7- All of them besides maybe data science and game development. 8- Thats completely fine, a lot of people are like that. You'll still make good money (150/200k eventually) but maybe not those absurd software engineer salaries from big companies (300k+). There's demand for all company sizes. 9- Don't become a software engineer just for the money, you'll just further exacerbate the problems and mediocrity currently afflicting the industry. I know it sounds a bit patronising but in my experience unless you really do love coding and solving problems, you'll be a bad software developer. There's so many bad and clueless developers out there who have no passion for their work. Most of them are only interested in bouncing jobs as often as they can and eventually land cushy leadership roles, where they become poor teachers and managers and keep this horrible cycle going. You mentioned you wanted to get into med or pharmacy, so it sounds like you just want a high paying job. If you don't genuinely have an interest in it and enjoy it, please find another career.
