why would they spend money on research when they can just shake a magic 8 ball from dollar tree and write whatever they want

Made some money off of it earlier this year buying in around $8. If it dips then it could be a reasonable pick up but I’d aim for the $7-$8 mark if it gets that low again. Not really worth picking up right now since it’s high since 2021 is a little over $12. Edit: typos

Going to buy a tree and live in it like those fucking ewoks 

I remember good times like the Coca Cola polar bear commercials and corona palm tree Christmas lights commercial Simpler carefree times as a 90s kid 

Long on UVXY puts. since venezuela may bring democracy to an oil rich territory (shocker…ikr) few 21-DTE calls on UVXY to hedge. What can go wrong? Edit: whatever they think democracy is

Been there Edit: when the huh caps are off, the tires are cool though

That's going to be a longer hold than many people think. I'm guessing 2025. Edit: Make that 2026 you said two quarters after lol.

Priced in Edit: after seeing all these comments I’m about to open a short.

😉 Edit: uh, so we’re just not gonna talk about how he liked girls to shit in his mouth? That’s the off limits thing here??! Damn, I miss this crazy bastard

No, u. re-read my edit. My original comment doesn't mention yields and you missed my point. Stocks and bonds are still moving in unison, so money moving from bonds to stocks doesn't fit. Money is moving into both.

.....you sure that is inverse? You want to check your work? Edit - Wait I see the disconnect - I said bonds, not bond yields. Prices of the asset classes typically move in inverse, but since fed started hiking they have been moving in unison. I think they still are.

Put that mouf to work Edit commented on wrong comment , can’t delete now

I don't recall the exact reason why it exists. The IRS always creates these rules to prevent taxpayers from taking advantage of loopholes, so there's probably a few loopholes it is meant to cover. The funny thing about the wash sale rule though, is that it resets after 30 days of not trading. So if you just stop all trading 30 days before the end of the year, you can usually claim any losses you accrued for the past year (am not an accountant tho, there's probably exceptions to this) edit: I think it's to de-incentivize tax loss harvesting, or at least make people aware they need to do it with care. It probably came about because people would frequently realize a loss in December (thus having losses they can deduct from their tax bill) and would immediately buy right back in to the underlying

You are never too old for video games...... shesh.... However tomorrow I am digging my fox hole tomorrow and getting down as the tree bursts and shrapnel is going to be flying low and high.

Oh sure, if you're only holding for 5 years and you pick a top 10 company then your probably will beat the index because they drive the main returns anyway. From your anecdotal evidence though, it goes to show that it's not simply a case of picking the right stocks it's also reliant on your composure under pressure that affects returns. Edit: deleted this as it was a mistake type related to another comment elsewhere. ~Therefore the point stands that both whole index investing and stock picking have their merits and neither one should be used as a metric for being "good" or "bad" at investing.~
