Stocks are shit, buy gold, silver, and bitcoin

Yeh I work in finance. AMA I guess.

I make a living out of day trading.

Burned about $60,000 away the first year when I was inexperienced. Now I make a steady $400-$800 per day.

Yes but I only invest around € 2000 I don't have the balls and experience to up my game

Do you buy pump and dumps, or buy based off news. I gave it a try but I just break even.

I make money off cryptocurrencies (alt-coins)
Not enough to live on though

Non-millionaire detected. Don't listen to this retard.

If there's another crash like in 2007 this election I'll probably short all the big name stocks, then buy Em back when the market is more stable.

Do you use VWAP, because the DAX, Eur/usd and cable certainly love to bounce off that.

Can I have like $500?

Also, OP and anyone else: You have to devote lots of time to research and analysis if you want to make money in financial markets (assuming you want to do it yourself and not pay someone else to). Otherwise, you'll never make significant returns over any extended period of time.

As a kid I once bought a golden Charizard on the flea market. Later i traded it with a friend for a free lunch. Easy money.

Cryptos.

I'm bad at it too :^)

Invest in DWTI.

Opec is flooding the market with oil and is openly stating they're not slowing down. A few members are ramping production up.

Thank me later.

T. What is /biz/

This.

Nigga I'm broke.

BROKE

And I've got a 2k line of credit maxed out at the dispensary and they callin day and right real Nigga hours

What happened last time opec flooded the markets with as much oil as possible.

I clicked this thread hoping the first poster was an Israeli flag saying yes.

Fuck me.

Just buy jewgold, user

seems awfully boring

then again im a programmer

Yeah, but everybody knows that. Literally the most read story on the Daily Telegraph was their star business guy shilling for shale. Not that he's wrong.

Buyed Arm Holdings shares at £6.00 share.
After take over went £16 share.

Win.

Supergroup shares same . Win.

Just look for good company's trends

>people on Sup Forums being broke and begging for money
why am i not surprised?
But that it's coming from canada...

I was doing good with Ethereum until someone Hacked into the DAO

/biz/

Yup, but I've lost almost as much as I've made.

If you're not well-connected, it's only slightly better than going to a casino.

If you're not well-connected but you're intelligent and make some good trades, expect a fuckload of scrutiny.

`90% of trash stocks are run by bots

you need to already be semi/rich to make money off the stock market

All my investments are long term, mostly commodities and bonds. I prefer the low-risk stuff. Have I made money? Well, the value of my holdings have definitely gone up, but I haven't sild/cashed anything out. I'm up a good 70k on about 20k of investment.

Why are yanks obsessed with muh stocks. If you want to short term trade, the last thing you'd be touching would be 'stocks'.

You can trade index futures and currencies on LMAX with tiny spreads, lightning speed. Fuck stocks.

Yeah, I put a few thousand into gold in late 2011. I'm doing real well now...

I've used machine learning to try to predict the market. Somewhat successful so far.

i call lies

I have made around $55 usd
Just tried it for fun

I had a big crayon shaped bank when I was 7 that my parents put their pocket change in at the end of their day. When I emptied it, it had like $500 in it, and my parents told me to invest it in something I liked. So I bought Disney stock. I forgot about it for like 15 years then when I remembered, I recovered my account with the stock company and cashed out. Got like $2500 and bought a new camera. pretty nice

It's the truth. No huge amounts but I've beat the index with a few percentage points so far.

It took you 15 years to make a month's earnings. It's almost not worth it at all.

Its okay so far

Shorting OIL making BANK

Yes.

t. Futures trader

Yes, mostly writing covered calls. Padded out my savings quite a bit.

Kys your nigger

Do you trade the first bounce on hit, or wait for what confirmation? Volume?

I've noticed that they love to take it down through WVAP, drag in the sellers, take out the stops then push it back for the real move. Of course, this happens all fucking day but I never understood the likely location of the actual move until I looked at VWAP.

You can keep it brief.

yes

Made around 15k with Bitcoins and have now a small portfolio, mostly consisting off stocks from weapon manufacturs, pharma, cannabis and some random I like. Its growing slow, but growing.

How much money do I need to be able to become an investor?

I invested in medical cannabis companies about 8 years ago. Did well.

Btw, you people usually trade in the local stock market or do you make some trade on foreign ones?

Also this ? What margins are we taalking about? 1 - 3% rise per month is good?

I've lost money in stocks

Let me guess, GWP for under 20 Bucks/stock.
Luky Mofo

sent ;)

>1-3% up/month
Not the world but for a small timer with low risk strategy its ok I guess.

OMFG THANAK YOU user!!!!

10 bucks

How did you land a job?
t. hopeful physics undergrad

Yep. I have $200,000 that started from $50k I inherited decades ago just from parking it in a few index funds.

I've also been speculating with a smaller amount on gun stocks for the inevitable election panic (and bought in right before orlando) and that's increased in value about 25% so far.

Understand that money is just an accounting system; a way to represent wealth. Great wealth comes from owning valuable things that grow. Move to increase your wealth overall, rather than just your money. I've spent a lot of money this year, enough that it would stress me out on principle, but the bulk of it was buying things that I believe will increase in value in future so long term it's a positive move (as far as I can tell). That's the mindset you need to invest.

Most importantly, don't take stock tips off Sup Forums, especially not /biz/.

Yeah you just buy the SP500 and wait decades and you'll make like 2% yearly it's a bargain deal goy

I will basically dedicate a big amount to becoming successful in it, so I can be sure that I reach my goal of yearly income if my job is not enough in the future. I will need a bigger buget to start, I don't think 1k is enough.
It's all dreams now, but soon, very soon I will be where I am supposed to be.

>Rent-a-center weed store
>Canada
>pick two

Goddammit leaf. You pick the one day I decide to read a Canadian comment to do this shit

yeah it's pretty stupid. But it was cool. $2500 from nothing. I got a camera out of it, and made more money from that than stocks

Everyone ITT go fucking short now and make some bank

6% correction at least.

Not my area bong friend. I work in private equity, after a short investment banking stint.

S&P does 7% per year on average for the last hundred years.

If you bought it in 2010, you would've made 200% since then.

They recruited me from my uni, I did econ and management, at oxford, If you are at a lower class uni then you will have to network around more, aim for a quant position ( maths specialist), physics is one of the more valued degrees in finance. If you know a large variety of code languages and have done an internship, you will be gobbled up by a hedge fund or trading firm, but trading isnt really my area.

Using Ameritrade's think or swim, just doing the trial version with fake money, about 1 month into it
I don't think I'm autistic enough to do day trading, but it's good to know what the fuck people are talking about when they talk about markets
I'll probably just set up a personal long find after the coming correction, which I'll short VIX for probably

((((goldman sachs)))) says a 10% correction is coming within the next 3 months.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-01/goldman-downgrades-equities-for-the-next-three-months

don't believe it. we're still in a bull market

These threads are full of idiots.

Markets now are informationally efficient and inherently random.

Buy and hold will always out perform the day traders because you will keep costs lower.

*With dividend reinvestment

Thanks for Correcting The Record(TM)

Don't believe the s&p jew. Those averages are not cumulative. The cumulative average is what matters.

I'm learning about technical analysis.
Tips, books, etc, appreciated.

I was a little low.
averaged annualized return of the s&p500 is ~10% per year.
investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-average-annual-return-sp-500.asp

It's done about 20% per year since 2010.

I had initially 50k, have been saving a little bit since then and am over 300k now in just a few years.

For sure. Dividends are crucial.

>Hehe, pull your money out of the markets goy, make sure to leave your cash under a mattress and leave making 20% on equities to us

Don't stick your dick in crazy

technical analysis is bullshit.
Anyone who tells you it works is selling snake oil.

Read the book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel.

He's one of the most important economists of the 20th century.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk_hypothesis

Technical analysis can yield important signals about market sentiment.

studies shows 90% lose money. same for poker game.

ho sorry it was studie during 4 years but only on forex trade (from France)

I did. Sort of.

I bought AAPL many years ago when the Euro was worth $1.40 USD
Not only did AAPL grow a lot since then, the USD strengthened vs the Euro as well so I double-gained.

I want to sell it now but we have capital controls and that means as soon as I sell my money will be trapped in a Greek bank account - very likely to get haircut or seized or turned into drachmas if shit hits the fan.
And we have a rabid leftist government of uneducated Marxists who haven't worked a day in their lives, so it is extremely likely shit will hit the fan.

Therefore I am holding on to my stocks, unable to make real all of my gains.

The trick is to lose small and win big.
Many people lose their cool and tilt on losing trades.

It's bullshit, but everybody believes it, so it ends up actually having an effect on the market.

How much do you get paid out?

Decided to try investing and opened an account with American broker. Invested 400000 roubles (roughly $13000). Traded carefully and lost about $500. Then the rouble lost half its value but my money was invested in dollars. Close the account and withdrew my money.

On the balance, I'd say it worked out pretty great for me.

Hahah n1
Lucky your money didn't get stuck in some scammy bonus scheme.
$500 loss isn't too bad.

Invest in Nu-Style Products. Still small.
25% growth this year.

Thank me later lad.

I bought 40k USD on AMD shares 3 years ago then sold 1 year later, doubled my fucking money. It was a nice experience but I think day trading is insane and a person alone cant compete with machines that do it.

No no no. You need the cumulative return, not the annualized. It's a jewish mind trick to get people's money:

Annualized returns per year:
20,40,-50,10=20/4=5% "annualized returns"

Cumulative returns per year:
20,40,-50,10=.924
1-.924=.076/4= -1.9% actual returns

The effects of losing capital are hidden with the annualized rate. If I lose 20%, gaining 20% doesn't put me at even, I would need 25% to get back there.

Anyone here have experience investing in silver?

If so, tell me a few things I need to know.

Because I want some concrete assets in case shit happens or I'm broke in the future.

>I would need 25% to get back there
Most people don't even get this. 20/25 isn't even bad. Some learn that lesson at a 75% loss, which means you're going to need a 300% profit. Gl with that.
This is what happens when people don't have trade plans or practice risk management.

yes once, pre 911, invested in mil companies, 911 came, i made bank, got out of stock FAST after, never touched it again

>Anyone ever made money off stocks in here?

>be me
>inherited about $350K five years ago
>skim about $30K off annually
>stayed about $350K
>market has been great during that period however ...

How do they tax that in US? I think here capital gains are a good deal, half of what you make isn't even taxed. If I had a plan myself that would be it.

Is it worth investing small amounts of money? As in ~£500.

As in they just sat at your uni and said 'you want the job? You start tomorrow'? I'm at Durham, so it's not too far down from Oxbridge, but the most we've had is people from Goldman Sachs and other companies giving us smoothies and handing us leaflets

>Anyone ever made money off stocks in here?
lots

>Is it worth investing small amounts of money? As in ~£500.

Yes, if you're trading options.

IS BITCOIN KILL?

...

Get a trial LMAX account. Set up a 17tick candle chart of the DAX. Put a 34 EMA on it.

Forex live: one minute chart with VWAP. A 77 EMA.

Watch for a few weeks. You'll be able to laugh at these 'random walk' fags. Nobody at the sharp end of small time frames believes their bullshit. Don't take my word for it, watch, make notes. Watch them run the stops then reverse.

Still, knowing and doing is a different thing, you have to be quick and you have to scratch the losses, without thinking.
