You want dividends? You have a LOT of other options than goog. This is pure growth. I want them to reinvest their money to grow the business.

No fucking way she wins the nomination. Terrible candidate. Dems can do A LOT better.

Conventional retirement planning assumes lifespans/healthspans won't dramatically increase. But there's a decent chance they will - there's a LOT of life extension research being done.
There's also the demographic pressure - fewer working age people to support a pension system.
It's clear retirement ages will be pushed upwards by Governments. It's clear Governments will print more money.
Absent an AI utopia - where the cost of all material goods is negligible - you're going to need more money than anyone is telling you if you want to retire at a reasonable age with a reasonable amount of spending power.
It makes sense to buy the scarcest asset there is when the supply of everything else is trending to infinity.

Yes but for there to be a burst there has to be a bubble. And if we get a bubble, tech stocks are going a LOT higher.

Honestly, I'll admit I'm as much of a "gambler" as I am a day/swing trader. I had started trading in 2020 right after covid hit and did very well (because it was like shooting fish in a barrel back then). The one applicable skill I took from that time was being able to not panic when a stock I bought goes in the red and stays red.
Anyway, I had slowed down a LOT on trading (mostly long term stuff), but I started doing a little swing trading back in summer of 2024. I did well with a couple stocks and Boeing (because there were always massive swing due to bad news happening so often). I got stuck in October, and I just became sort of dormant again for a few months.
In January 2025, my Boeing stock finally went green, and I sold. I decided to get back into doing day/swing trading (WHILE working a full time job). I made a decent amount of money with TSLA (all the DOGE drama/break-up with Trump drama/etc. was fantastic for volatility!). By May and June I started trying to obey a set of rules that I operate under. I was initially 2% profits on my trades, set some trailing stop losses to make sure I got any upside beyond that 2%, etc. That was working ok for me, but I'd often get trapped holding a stock for longer than I wanted. I changed my strategy to just going for 1% profit, but I'd still get caught holding stocks for longer than I wanted. For the record, since January 2025, my portfolio performance is a little over 50%.
Around July of last year, I changed my strategy to just go for .05% profits on my positions. That started working REALLY well for me, and I got a little too greedy and too eager to buy when I probably shouldnt. That was working really well, but in October I broke rules a couple times by trying to buy more of a position to average down my cost per share. I got stuck for a few months again with at least 80% -90% of my portfolio. I had some other personal stuff going on (retiring from my full time job), so I backed off of trading and just let it sit. After retiring in Jan 2026, I gave myself a couple weeks to relax, and I started back up again. Those stocks I was holding for months finally went green and freed up other money to invest.

So here's basically what I do. I have a list of 20 or so energy stocks, a couple retail/restaurant (Wayfair and Cracker Barrel), and some gold and silver stocks. I have looked at the stock forecast for all of these, and they all have very strong upside potential. I'm familiar and comfortable with their ups and downs. That gives me some peace of mind in knowing that if I get "stuck" again holding a certain position, it will work itself out. Most of these are dividend stocks as well, so that helps me knowing that if I get caught holding, a dividend pay-date will come along, and I can justify selling easier.
So I'm back at it again. These massive silver drops in the past week have been awesome. I've bought and sold silver related stocks 9 times in the past 4 trading days. I get .05% profit or more each time. I could have kept holding those and ridden some up for 5-10% gains, but that takes too much time and risk. I take the guaranteed profit and don't sweat missing out on further gains.
My post has been rejected a couple times but I don't know why. Maybe it was too long. I cut off the section where I gave my personal list of rules I use.

With you there. Group hug. Bought some at .50 and then a LOT at $3.

Hi, I would love to help you. Imo start with watching 1 or max 2 YouTubers to learn the basics (sometimes the basics is all you need to become profitable), then you can start do some backtest of what you learned and some live paper trading.
To build your strategy the best thing is to look for something that repeats most of the days, I would also stick to futures and only one session which is NY.
All strategies point to one thing in different way and it's seeking and collecting orders (liquidity) and hitting stop loses, your job is to find where these zones are, that's the beautiful part, you can customize and mix useful parts of different strategies the way you understand it the best.
My biggest advice is to not rush the process, it took me 2 years to build my own strategy and if I tell you that its simple as hell you probably won't believe me and call me crazy, make your strategy fit your psychology the best way possible, if you have a lot of fomo then build strict and tight way for your entries, this way you won't hop on every swing low/high, and also it's not you vs the market, it's always you vs you in that business, you decide if you are going to place stupid trades and lose money or stick to your plan and when you lose call it a day.
Your psychology is at least important the way your strategy is, if you dont have good strategy but you have amazing psychology then you are still going to lose and vice versa.
Last but not least, just trust and stay consistent, fight your errors the hardest way possible and avoid any emotions including happiness when you win, it's fake dopamine, backtest a lot and I mean A LOT, I have maybe 1000 or more hours in backtesting and over 1000 trades tested and I continue to stack more hours even if I don't really think I need them, the more times you repeat something easier it gets, I hope you achieve what you want, stay humble and don't do stupid RR like above 1:3 if you want to day trade, if you want to swing trade you can do more tho, this will keep your emotions even more stable, if you need anything more just message me, I don't sell anything and I don't plan to, I'm going to help you with everything I can and know 😊

This helps A LOT. I’m still an undergraduate student- learning quant heavy courses like differential equations, linear algebra, calculus, time series analysis, real analysis, econometrics, statistics, stochastic calculus etc.
I want to learn more econometrics and stochastic calculus, I think the green book will be enough but what exactly do I do to show that I’ve read this book and learnt more in my CV- like what projects do I do and should I write a writing sample? I want to do a masters in finance and economics and I feel like adding these to my CV will actually help- please send in CV references if possible

When I started trading(last year) I used a broker that didn’t have any tools at all: no indicators, no possibility of doing stop loss or stop gain orders, no pre or post market, and, of course, no options grid. I learned to check the graphics, lost A LOT in covered calls ETFs, but didn’t quit. Just changed the broker and now I can do it all. Be patient and keep the pace and the peace.

eah man, unfortunately this sounds like a classic Solana drain scam. Those “airdrop” sites are designed to trick you into approving a swap or transfer you don’t realize is happening. That SO’L token is almost certainly worthless and has no real liquidity, which is why there’s no price.
You’re not missing anything — if your SOL is gone, it’s gone. The wallet approval basically gave them permission to take it. It happens to a LOT of people, so don’t beat yourself up too hard.
Best thing to do now: revoke permissions, move any remaining assets to a fresh wallet, and never interact with that token/site again. And yeah… assume any random “airdrop” link is a scam unless it’s from an official, verified source.
TL;DR: cooked, but not alone.

is anyone close to the stock aware of why LOT is doing a cap raise? they have like 56m in cash already, is there some major capex item coming?

if precious metals were worth their actual value in hardware(or jewelery) it would crash by about 90% and wipe out A LOT of large firms as well as individual investors.

Hmm… I’m just wondering what your goals are with your position because the taxes are gonna be a bit nuts. Are you trying to live off the dividends by any chance?
This does pay okay dividends, but there is A LOT to be accounted for in terms of the taxes you’ll pay on it. I feel like for how much you have in this position, it would work better in a tax advantage account. I would consult a CPA to be sure if this is the right position to be invested in, especially at a young age.

LMAOOOOO

Hugs, friend. That’s a LOT of change and hardship, yet you still keep moving forward and HODLing. Proud of you, ape.

My point was, US pretty much cannot lose a war if allowed to fight without the hands tied behind the back.
Yes, glassing over Teheran is not going to happen, at least not unless they first somehow glass over Israel, who would respond in kind anyway.
But there are conventional methods to do a LOT of damage that would make a war vs Iran very one-sided. Sure, it would look bad PR-wise as it would mean lots of collateral damage, but it would make the war quite short.
Iraq war ended pretty quickly. Occupying it afterwards was a shitshot, but that is a whole another discussion. Afghanistan was not a war as such and frankly terrible idea to go for. In Iran the opposition is the regime people, the vast majority of the civilians want them gone exactly as much as US does, so it turning into a mess after the regime is gone is not as likely.
Anyway, nobody hopes for war, but the point is - if US fights an actual war vs Iran, it will be very short. Weeks, tops. Prepping everything for it takes longer than the actual war.

He has A LOT to lose you fool
