EPTIf it keeps doing that, we'll have roughly around nasdaq 18200 in 5 months. On something like 30% unemployment.
Seems legit.

Look at the bottom of the GFC and compare that to the economic data at the time as markets were moving up from the bottom. | ||

There was a point at which there was nonstop bad news about the 737 MAX, but $BA just kept ticking up. | ||

These HFT-hedgefunds sure are efficient at causing maximum pain to a maximum number of participants. And they get cheap loans from the fed too, probably. But I think the big one is very close, the last drop was just a foretaste. Took losses from a 9.5k KO put and moved into a NDX put with KO at around 10k yesterday so I can sit it through if there are funny spikes again, hopefully. | ||

Out of curiosity, where are you trading knockout options? Unless I'm misunderstanding you and you made the wrong move on Coca-Cola | ||

Didn't bode well for the overall market last time. Too much speculation on this magical halving prolly. | ||

Stock market is closed on the weekends so instead I trade Trump tweets: https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/6689. People lost a LOT of money thinking the big man wouldn't eventually get bored and retweet all his friends this week | ||

Didn't it crash a good 34% a few weeks back? Bitcoin is pretty much a perfect example of a bubble stock, so watching it is more amusing than meaningful really. It's not clear why it does or doesn't do anything beyond a fun game of speculation. | ||

People lost a LOT of money thinking the big man wouldn't eventually get bored and retweet all his friends this week Apparently you had 700% returns if you bought before the close and sold at the open during this recovery rally. Meanwhile if you bought at the open and sold before close you had like -13 or -35%, can't remember the number. The overnight futures market makes this a total casino. Btw, talking about S&P 500. Curious if the bitcoin correlation is going to hold here tomorrow. I'm also pretty sure the Chinese mined the most bitcoin, and while the concept is nice you're essentially just giving money to whoever was first and betting against the dollar. It's almost like a buffer against dollar shortages, so in theory halving should speed up the dollar strengthening. Halving afaik means you get half the bitcoin you got before with the same computing power. One thing that makes me think bitcoin has some hidden relation to the dollar is its crash from the heights when the Fed hiked rates in 2018. | ||

Interesting site,i like it but those spreads are insane. How can you trade those and be profitable even if you get it right, Or do the spreads narrow now and then? Edit: Hmm maybe i am reading it wrong,if you take no for 169 or less then everything above 169 is good. Still i can only see one side of the bid/ask. Is it impossible to sell back once you bought or do you only see those quotes once you have a position? @below:aha i see ty! | ||

Is it impossible to sell back once you bought or do you only see those quotes once you have a position? The spreads aren't more than 1-2 cents usually, unless it's close to deadline or Trump just posted multiple times. The basic rules (of the whole site) are: you have yes/no questions related to various political outcomes. Like will Trump win the popular vote in 2020. If you have Yes shares and the question comes true - in this case Trump wins the popular vote in the 2020 election - then all of your Yes shares turn into $1 each. If you had no shares, they disappear. Vice versa, if he doesn't win the popular vote, your No shares all turn into $1 and your Yes shares all disappear. For a multiple-contract market like this, it's a set of connected yes/no questions. So, will Trump tweet 169 times or less this week? Yes/No. Will he tweet 170-179 times this week? Yes/No. Etc. A No share is essentially a negative Yes share, so selling Yes is the same thing as buying No. If you put in an order for 25 Yes shares in some bracket at 15 cents, for example, someone will have to buy 25 No's at 85 cents in order for both of you to get your shares. If you have a position in yes/no you'll only see the bid ask for your kind of shares - since Yes and No are negatives of one another, you can't buy both Yes and No shares at the same time. Example since I'm holding No's in the lowest two brackets: https://i.imgur.com/rhCVu8J.png Finally two restrictions: There's a 10% rake for your profits - if you buy a share at 70 cents and it turns into a dollar, you made a profit of 30 cents so the site takes 3 and you get 27. So it's a negative sum game. Finally you can't own more than $850 in any one yes/no question due to a government restriction. This is actually a good thing for smaller traders because it means big players can't price out market inefficiencies by themselves. So in some sense it's more forgiving. But it also means you can't scale your bets past a certain point. | ||

Slowly selling off stuff so we can put the savings toward buying a house now that we're allowed to go and look at them again. I'd definitely like to buy a house around now. The prices I saw a few months ago just didn't seem worth it at all; waiting for a bit of a cooldown in the market. Later this year seems at least moderately promising, if finances look good by then. Right now, seems more a bunch of sellers are looking to pawn off their properties at top dollar before an inevitable pullback in the market, so I'm not yet interested in buying. Airlines have had another exciting couple of zig-zag weeks. Buffett announcing he sold off his hefty shares in the airlines was a fun bit of news, to be sure. | ||
