stock market was up today...

[Rasputin_Vol]

This is my understanding---Also --It appears Many aren't in it for the money anymore and will just let it burn. They don't care if their accounts go to zero anymore. Many posts are speaking to the experience growing up during the 08 crisis, impoverished, stressed, struggling, and bitter.
Called it Redpilled or call it a developing class consciousness -- They want to set the billionaires on fire.

Exactly, you probably have several 1-3 share holders that just bought in late for the sole purpose of getting shares off the market and knowing they would get busted in the process. I really considered doing just that yesterday, but my mind was pre-occupied with me trying to dip in and out of AG (First Majestic) yesterday when I had sold a substantial amount in my 401k and personal account no more than 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, a lot of good times headed our way with those two bimbos.....

The problem is that they are not bimbos. They are cold and calculating.

He’d be a fool not to sell now unless he truly doesn’t care and is doing it out of complete spite, which is fine. Typically, everybody has their price, though.

He has plenty of room to put in his sell point and stlll bust the hedge funds though. I don't think many people would blame him.

I don’t know squat about the stock market, but is what’s happening a good thing with the Dow going below 30,000?

meh. Doesn't really mean all that much right now with this side show going on. If it continues down it will.

Why don't you know anything about it? With todays trading platforms and accessibility everyone should know/own something.

Hmmmm... I'm could see that being played out in the mainstream media, but I could also see the alt-media on both sides telling it just how it is. Boomers will obviously listen to whatever Huntley/Brinkley and Kronkite tell them at 6:00... meanwhile the rest of us will be online getting the truth.

It was 6:30 and Walter is way over rated. He was a borderline commie. Should have kept his pie hole shut and we probably wrap up Vietnam a lot quicker and with less death and destruction and with a happy ending.

I loved his coverage of the space program though. When he choked up at the moon landing that was pretty cool.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

It should be apparent. But it never ceases to amaze me at how the MSM can successfully sway the masses. CNBC has had dozens of experts (appeal to authority) on the last couple of days villainizing the redditors with the host in agreement. Any guest that agrees with the redditors has to fight against the host.

What is your opinion on having to settle options with either the underlying equity or commodity and not with cash equivalent settlement? I mainly ask this on the commodity side with SLV and GLD being able to settle with cash instead of the physical metal.

My bad .......cold & calculating bimbos ...... does have a nice ring to it.

It’s great for those regularly contributing to 401(k)s with a long time until retirement. Their accounts are accumulating more shares with the pull backs.

Hmmm... you know what, you are the second person in the last 12 hours to mention a Sears play. I'm thinking you are being facetious, but this guy was serious and said he is considering making a move into it.

You ever watch the Business Blaze channel on YT? Basically, it's a humorous blast on certain business practices and failed businesses.

Anyway, one of the episodes focused on how Sears was one of the ultimate fails by not transferring over to the e-commerce system before everyone else and burying Amazon before they even got started. Basically, had they taken the Sears catalog online and offered 3rd party sellers (like they do now) they not only would have survived, but likely thrived since they had the infrastructure in place already.

Sears really is a victim of self inflicted gunshot wounds by not seeing (or believing) how much the internet was going to blow up in the late 90s.

I need to read up on the demise of Long Term Capital. It seems like it was derivatives based, but I was just getting into serious investing around the time of that **** show.

I’m not too sure. I guess I’m timid with my money. My wife and I are ok financially, outside of trying to find a home and paying off student loans.

My wife does have Robinhood but I was just consider her basic in using the platform. Is Robinhood some a beginner can play with?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Seriously???

We've gotten to that point with free speech now?

We never should have been over there.

Subject for another forum, though.

I think it's criminal that SLV and GLD can be settled with cash because precious metals should be a hedge against currency devaluation. Since currency can practically be created out of thin air, I think that contract is worth about anything else that can be created out of thin air. If the bullion bank ever has to settle in cash, the cash probably won't be worth anything.

edit: We should all probably start putting investment disclaimers in case the SEC starts snooping around... disclaimer - please do not take investing advice from me.... I'm really bad at it.

 

[TheColdVolTruth]

I see what you are saying here and it makes sense. Looks like you have explained how it is possible. But now hypothetically, if it is found that they were naked shorting, that is illegal, right?

Yes, naked short selling is illegal, but that certainly hasn't prevented it from occurring.

I read somewhere there was a loophole for the large market makers in order to "provide more liquidity." It seems like every time I see that phrase it's defending a mechanism that screws over regular people.
