It is not a zero sum game. Because I win does not mean somebody else loses. Its about economic "growth" (GDP growth). The pie is larger or there are more pies, however you wish to phrase it. Everybody can get some pie, and some get larger slices. How the slices get distributed is another topic which the moderators frown upon.

 

Amazon and netflix are looking like good buy opportunities right now, but I personally am going to hold off a bit longer. Down 5% or more for either is usually uncommon.

I wouldn't consider buying until it (netflix) gets closer to $200, especially from looking at the charts. Line was damn near vertical from december-current. I would imagine a correction will take place.

 

It is a zero sum game. Concept of scarcity. It’s an economic concept. A real life concept. Scarcity, man. Look it up. You may learn something.

 

The big watch is the S&P level of 2585 (200 day moving average). Watch that level very closely. If it breaks, I can see the market tumbling big time.

It’s been teetering slightly above it for the past week.

 

Yeah dude, keep some ammo ready to go

It’s been pounding down a lot close to that area for days now. To me, it’s only a matter of time that it breaks. The buyers will run out, and there will be no where for the sellers to go.

Another thing of note. The FANG stocks are doing bad right now, and they’ve been the ones propping up the market.

 

Just started investing a year ago now that I’m graduated college and have a full time position.

Contributing to a Roth 401k up to my employer match, then maxing out my Roth IRA, then additional contributions to the 401k. Almost entirely in stocks, I’ve got plenty of time so I’m not phased if I drop 25% in a year.

 

Dude, what is scarce? The whole world is running on fiat currency. Money is being printed and pumped into the world markets. This has pushed production of just about everything up. Commodities, services, all up, world wide.

 

You just admitted it’s all fake.

On paper it all looks good but in reality, it’s bad.

Dude, you just admitted it

 

well done sir! Take advantage of the employee match.

 

did you sell that Roku stock on the rally a couple days ago? been dropping 2-3% a day since. I'm down 7% on that position now lol

 

I just sold off mine. I am thinking I need to go back to trading one or two stocks at a time. It's hard for me to remember price targets and general movement when I'm more diversified. Maybe it's stupid, but it worked for me previously

 

I would wait, a lot these bigger players are losing a ton. It's too risky atm IMO.

 

Looking at it every day will do that

 

The more you learn the more patient you become. Just remember, there is no worst feeling than buying and then watching it drop.

Once it occurs a few times, you learn your lesson. Lol

 

Tesla has a long way to go before it gets out of "overvalued" territory.. lol

 

omg I'm green for the day.. praise the gun gods and Jim Cramer skeptics

 

Messing around with a couple stocks can be fun, but I’d personally only do it with money you don’t need/have to have in the future. As I’m sure you’ve seen individual stocks are very volitile and trying to time when to buy/sell is a very tough proposition unless you’re doing it 24/7 as your job.

 

anddddd it's gone

 

Dude you just make statements but do not back the up with facts (i. e.) you do not answer questions. e.g., What is scarce?

Fake? You opine how you are going to all cash. To a fake fiat currency. I can take my fake currency and purchase real food, real shelter, real goods and real services, world wide. Think about what you are doing (and saying).

As to a 25% drop in the markets...pure chicken little, hype. You like hype, I will give you hype. The S&P currently sits at around 2600. The S&P will see 25% up (~3200), before it sees 25% down (~1900).

 

Dude, I’m not even going to argue with you anymore and your everyone gets a piece of a bigger pie mindset. Lol. BTW it’s called Scarcity, not scarce for the business term I’m using.
