shill me on LEAPS

>>52532478
/smg/ wouldn't shut up about them back in 2021. I don't know what happened.

bros this market is so fucking boring right now
when will the actual recession start so we can get cheapies

I tried a 50$ steak last night. Definitely worth it. It would've been 200$ at a restaurant and a quarter of the serving. Try it frens.

>>52532518
Take the crab pill anon

OILbros, is the World Cup bullish?

>>52532478
if you are looking to hold a stock longterm for multiple years, LEAPS are the most capital efficient way to do so, as buying shares locks up too much money
in a bear market they are obviously shit

>why yes I am starting a hedge fund with 1000 dollars and lots of leverage
>why yes I am taking neighbors as clients
>why yes I will not report my assets to clients or IRS
>why yes I operate my business off old laptops and use storage sheds and public libraries as my office
>problem SEC?

>>52532478
Long dated call options, usually deep itm. Gives you long exposure for less than buying the shares and therefore leverage.

>>52532513
LEAPS are still fine. You just need a ticker with sufficient depth that you can buy them and get 3x-5x leverage without being Jewed on spreads.

And obviously they're better for plays where you have longer term conviction. Those are rarer at the start of this stagflationary crabfest.

>>52532560
Yes. So is the east coast being blanketed in 5 feet of snow

>>52532596
So you're saying it will be a cold winter?

Natgas bros, its our times

>>52532819
I'm in the same boat fren. I'm seriously consider taking my money out of the market and locking it in GICs for a few years with the expectation that rape hikes will continue and house prices will fall (not expecting a crash, but a fall), allowing me to buy more house per $ with a higher rate on the mortgage which I will shovel money into for a yield of whatever the rates at the time are. It also helps that I'm Canadian and people will have to renew their mortgages in a minimum of 5 years from now, so if they locked in at 1.4% in 2020 they are about to be ABSOLUTELY rape hiked in 2025 when it's 5%-8%. That's when I buy.

But if you truly expect to make returns greater inflation you can use your tax advantaged account for a down payment (at least in Canada, idk bout burger) and grow your sum far more than sitting in cash or GIC.

>>52532927
No, but that hard drive magnet looks strong!

It's fucking 29 degrees here. Poor fucks in New York getting buried under snow. For a bit of perspective; last few "winters" uh we were out walking round in a tee shirt in January.

No idea fren. I've had to completely modify multiple posts in order for them to pass and I have no idea what triggered the filter. It's a consequence we have to deal with thanks to /biz/ being 99.5% pajeet shills. I fucking hate all of /biz/ besides /smg/.

how can i effectively generate traffic to my website and get new customers? also how should i go about handling shipping of products, should I charge a flat rate or variable, I want to make it as simple as possible.

I buy really expensive steaks in the summer when I take the family camping in the redwoods. Nothing like an incredible locally sourced steak in the woods cooked over a fire.

>>52533195
I used to be picky about steaks a decade or so ago, I would look down on a sirloin. Not anymore. By 2030 just any kind of beef at all may be an absolute once a year delicacy

>>52533246
Purposefully lying. Only the low level brainwashed vegan trannies and retards actually believe it

>>52533246
Also not bad for the environment. Theyre just sun worshipers trying to make everyone follow their cult.

So is cash king until next year bros? Q2 maybe? I sold all of my positions after getting dividends for a year without losing anything. Don’t know what to do now.

>>52533288
purposely = on purpose; intentionally.

purposefully = in a way that shows determination or resolve.

>>52533248
Maybe you can just include shipping/ fees in the price for simplicity, and use an easy round number as well, like $20 out the door instead of $18.99 plus $1.23 shipping, etc

>>52533319
Thanks grammar nazi

>>52533184
I have GI issues that render me unable. If God ever sees fit to repair me I will have to find a new church because the one I grew up in got heemed by the new pastor and lost half membership. I have watched some of the services online and it is not recognizable as the same place, and not in a good way at all. Very sad. My great great grandfather was a founding member in 1906 and the baby grand piano plus a pew are in my grandfather's memory, and a pew is in my grandmother's. I had many great aunts, aunts, and uncles that were members through my childhood. I have a wooden cross necklace made of wood from one of the original 1906 pews. But, as sad as it is, I can't make an idol of that particular church, and am eternally grateful for the meaning it has already provided. I also wouldn't want to be in a UMC church anymore anyway, but this one started as an old country Wesleyan congregation and it took a long time for the modernizing influences to start creeping in.

I put a magnesium supplement in my protein shake yesterday, drank like a gallon of water, never had to pee, eventually it all came out as diarrhea. I must've had diarrhea like 10 times over the course of the night. I thought surely I must be empty by now but it just kept coming. This must be what they give people before a colonoscopy. Never use magnesium oxide. It has an absorption rate of like 10-15%. The rest causes your bowels to absorb water.

The one I grew up in was a Puritan church. Good thing I went there before it got a lesbian pastor.

Idk why this keeps getting recommended to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMx1DnSn-eg

>>52533518
You know Satan is "good" at what he does when Puritan churches wound up corrupted in such ways.

So I'm not sure if anyone here will be able to help me, but I'm curious if anyone has any resources I can use to learn about central banks and specifically the mechanisms they use to influence rates and control the money supply.
Recently started a new job and I find my knowledge in this subject is extremely lacking compared to my coworkers so I'd like to start reading about this stuff in my free time so I can be more helpful at work.

trips of truth

can somebody please explain to me why TLT is only yielding around 2.5% at its current prices while according to https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS10 the 10 year treasuries are yielding around 3.7%?

How the fuck does DoorDash even make money. If you add sides or drinks to entree, and you don’t receive them, DoorDash just refunds you the entire meal cost immediately. Like you order a burrito and Pepsi and they forget the Pepsi you just get your money back. There’s no other way to identify you’re only missing part of the items in the order. And it’s not like missing items is a rarity. I can think of at least two fixes to this problem that would keep the ease and good service and save them cash still.

>>52533555
You know satan is good when he attempts to enlighten you to the truth about this so called "god" and his egotistic, tyrannical and abusive love for you.

>>52533603
>How the fuck does DoorDash even make money.
without checking any details my first assumption is how most everybody else in NIRP, ZIRP and LIRP environments:
>new debt issuance

>>52533594
My guess is that they still have debt yielding 0-1% on the balance sheet so it averages out to 2.78. Or could be speculators

>>52533662
>My guess is that they still have debt yielding 0-1% on the balance sheet so it averages out to 2.78. Or could be speculators
This could indeed be a factor but bear in mind that trading prices should adjust for that.
If they cannot pay out larger dividends, usually the trading prices should drop to a level that evens out the lack in dividend payment.
I'd guess that TLT is way overpriced for what they are paying out monthly at the moment and how high actual interest rates are at the moment.

>>52533594
>can somebody please explain to me why TLT is only yielding around 2.5%
Because the fund holds bonds bought when the yield was lower. If you buy a bond with a lower yield than the current yield you will buy it at a discount, the same is true for TLT. For example, if today you bought a bond yielding 2.5% you would buy it at a discount so that when it matures you will get a total yield equivalent to the current yield. The yield to maturity for TLT is 4.07%: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239454/ishares-20-year-treasury-bond-etf

>>52533710
>>pretend to be good and nice because you're afraid of god's wrath
this is the problem that christ's sacrifice solved. see Paul's writings on the issue
>>be under god's wisdom but yet still suffer because it's his plan
>>his plan is for you to suffer so you can worship him to save you from this suffering
We suffer because of two reasons:
1. God created lesser powers with free will, and one of them chose to corrupt the world during its creation
2. We choose suffering

You don't know basic christian theology

>>52533701
You are generally much better off buying the treasuries yourself if you intend to seek yield. SPAXX money market fund where your cash is parked automatically on fidelity is only running 2.65%. If you don't need the liquidly you could just buy 3 month bills at 4%+

Only a defective god would create a world filled with errors and corruption.

I'm interested in an oilfield job since that anon posted. I already do hard manual labor for 12 hour shifts but don't get paid nearly the same as an oil chad. Any oilers here want to tell me how they got started? Did you just apply as a leasehand and work your way up? Did you move from home and live on or by the rig? I want to own things and be happy and I think I need a career change. Imagine working at ExxonMobil and getting paid in discounted shares... oh man..

>>52533774
I will repeat myself:

>>52533748
Well, >>52533701 still remains an open question.
>The yield to maturity for TLT is 4.07%
So why is it yielding 2.5% at the moment then?

For exmaple, HYG mostly pays out a dividend as high so their yield is very equal to the ICE BofA US High Yield Index Option-Adjusted Spread https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BAMLH0A0HYM2

>>52533790
>>52533786

Exactly. Without knowing evil how can one be truly good? If there is no EVIL there will be no GOOD. One cannot exist without the other. god wanted his creation to be subservient lesser beings bound by ignorance.

Shhhh people don't want to hear the truth. It frightens them when they're told about free will and choice. There is no greater gift an omnipotent being could give their creation than free will. We continue to chose poorly as did our ancestors.

Picrel! I do believe in a certain amount/degree of will/choice though. Same Anon, btw, just on the shitter with a different device.
>pretend to be good and nice because you're afraid of god's wrath
Not really, I am very open about being corrupted by sin. Everything I try to do towards goodness is tainted with selfish and sometimes outright evil motives for which I am deeply shameful and aware that only through God's mercy and grace will I be let into His kingdom where He will at some point rid me of those illnesses of the heart and mind.

>>ignorance is sin. knowledge is salvation.
Ultimately yes, the trick there is not leaning unto one's own understanding as to which is which. In this world, for example, it is very common to have a simple minded person that is far more ultimately knowledgeable than one with a head full of sophistry, none of which is rooted in the actual ultimate essential Truth.

I understand this,
but why is TLTs trading price this high then?
If they can not increase their dividend payments,
why isn't the trading price of the ETF dropping to levels that equal the diminished value of their holdings?

Market is in relief rally as CPI showed a single print where inflation was going down and is only at 7.7%, on that day the nasdaq was up 7% and we have pretty much crabbed since, bounding off SPY $400-$390.

Market is predicting a 50 bepis point rate hike into a 25 bepis in to pausing or reversing rates. Many posters seem to think this is wrong and that the FED will continue rape increases until morale plummets and are taking short positions expecting this rally to turn down.

Some posters think we will be reaching all time lows at the start of the new year, while others believe US debt cannot maintain high rates and the FED will HAVE to lower rates sooner rather than later.

There hasn't been any decent sounding positions lately, with uncertainty of the future and pajeet scams muddying the water. Due to the opaque state of the market some anons have decided to go in to JEPI or other covered call ETFs to get a consistent monthly yield until more promising plays show themselves.

This is pretty danged good on the whole, but lacks a distinct whiff of at best making it through Santa rally before at best many years of bear and more likely near or total collapse with the only survivors being a few Jews in a mountain fortress and the slaves they imprison for breeding under strict controls to rebuild society from the ground up under their own "wisdom", so pull everything out by Christmas and put most of it into 6 mo treasury bills while watching to see.

Nah you right, they will have to cut back spending and likely increase taxes to try to unfuck themselves. All these promises will have to be dialed back and the average citizen will be squeezed from all sides until conditions improve. That's my bet at least.

>>52534051
There will be a debt crisis and nothing can pass in congress with split house and senate. They won't be able to pass more spending bills and they will push to balance the budget and reduce debt.

The last time the US budget was balanced was 2001 and the markets did a three year stretch of -10%, -13% and -23% returns.

From a big fan of boomer investing, there are only a couple of things you should know:

1. You must have faith that the market will continue to grow over the course of your investment horizon. If you're not comfortable with this thought, then stocks are not for you.
2. In any given year only about 50% of fund managers are able to beat the market
3. Although there are some standout managers, in general there is very little correlation between fund managers that beat the market in one year vs the next.
4. Even those standout fund managers will almost all lose against the market over a long enough time horizon, like 20 or 30 years.

With that in mind I would strongly recommend you only buy mutual funds as you will get more returns than the majority of day traders for absolutely no work whatsoever.

My dad had a full four year paid scholarship offer at a college when he graduated highschool as the varsity starting quarterback. But he went to work on an oil rig and do qualudes in Louisiana for a year to 'take a break' before starting college. He said it was fun.

index funds are the best for long-term investing. We still haven't hit a bottom through as the stock market is still valuing stocks a little too highly on the most recent rally even after companies have provided forward guidance downward and companies still managed to miss. For example Target, their EPS is now equivalent to 2019. But their share price is still up 28% compared to then. This holiday season should end the hopium that the market is huffing.

but that said, buying index funds is the easy buy and forget option.

Unironically if they were ever going to do this, the cares act would have done it since they gave everyone free money. In fact all the people who got a freeze and free money (even if they weren't laid off they paid no rent or college loan interest in that period) should have used that time to pay it off. It's 'sad' but the fact it's mostly women who say they'll use their newfound freedom from debt to wrack up credit card debt and travel and suck and fuck dudes makes me unsympathetic.

>In any given year only about 50% of fund managers are able to beat the market
Holy shit, that's a shocking figure, I would have guessed it to be at least in the ~70% range in order for them to have such an established business to so many common people entrusting them throughout the lands.

>>52533824
>So why is it yielding 2.5% at the moment then?
I already explained it in my post. You're buying the bonds at a discount. Look up what yield to maturity means

I'm looking to get a higher paying job. Will Elon higher me at Twitter despite the fact that I have no coding experience? I'm redpilled and a consummate shitposter though.

I'll look into it, from what I'm reading it does seem like land rigs are typically 2 weeks on 2 weeks off or 20 days on 10 days off. I wonder if I could just rent a tiny cheap place and stay near the sight and pocket the extra allowance they provide for food/hotels. I can survive quite comfortably with next to nothing so long as I have internet. Then in short time I can max put my TFSA, FHSA and have a substantial down payment for a house. Maybe I'll be a oil baron rigger.

oh fugg, we're never gonna be green again are we

Kek here's a story straight outta a hentai doujin; was browsing the stuff on Tubi streaming channel when I seen this show on crime over in the U.K. Seems this dude shacked up with his girlfriend, her sister, her mother and dad all under the same roof. Wasn't long before the dude was banging both the daughter and the mother. Dude was 17. Only thing that would've made it 100% out of a doujin was if he was banging both daughters and the mother. The crime part was when the dude broke it off with the mother, she flipped out and hired a hit man to take him out.

Who cares?

>>52534338
the fact it wasn't red ranger is a gross miscarriage of cosmic justice

>>52534338
You do realise the 'pop' in 'pop culture' is short for 'popular' right? And you know what the word 'popular' means right?

So then following that train of thought, you can understand why you perhaps come across as quite 'stupid', and a bit of an 'idiot', when you ask who cares if a popular figure dies, right?

>>52534258
There are some serious dangers, but it's been ~15 years since he told me the details and I don't recall, but one email was about how stupid some co workers were and how much danger it put him in, and it had to do with going around checking/maintaining pumps or something. I got fairly regular, and interesting "blogs" on it back then. His brother and one of his old co-workers both just recently went back into it so it's definitely still a thing. Also that particular operation is, or at least was back then, owned by Halliburton.

So you're saying the bankers in charge of the US/Russia proxy war will escalate it to WW3 level shenanigans?

Out of curiousity I was just looking at charts for Nintendo's stock over the years and something that struck me was the big increase in volume around 2013. Which seems super strange to me because that was like peak "Nintendo is over" attitude. Anybody know what's up with that? And what do you think the stock split for Nintendo and steady decrease in volume since Switch release might mean? I would have figured in 2020 it would have seen a huge increase in volume with the hype around Animal Crossing and people fighting over Switch consoles.

My gf has a Nintendo Wii but I've never used it. She has some different attachments like matt things to stand on or something. Is there any descent games to play on them or is just stupid dance shit?

>>52534140

Oh yes, I don't plan on buying yet, we still have a ways to go down further, but is investing in small business basically considered very distinct from direct investment in a business?

>>52534488
the wii is old but not old enough to be 'retro'... are you from brazil or something?

>>52534432
I am of the opinion that your questions are more related to price than volume. The two don't really go hand in hand.

Also, we should be getting close to the end of the switch's lifecycle, although Nintendo would be retarded to launch a new console right now. The switch can't even handle its own pokemon games.

Which one of you was this?

I work in a strategy team so my daily work is in large part dedicated to determining the efficiency of different businesses based on various different metrics, and we also make recommendations on long term strategy for the firm like which businesses they should be growing and which ones they should be shrinking.

What I like the most? Honestly the people I work with are extremely smart and have a very wide range of knowledge, so I think this is a good environment for me to be in, especially early in my career. We also do a fair bit of data analysis in python which is something I'm happy about - I think that's an important skill for most people to pick up.

What I like the least is more about the fact that I work for a huge company than my specific team. Tons of red tape and bureaucracy, hundreds of abbreviations and acronyms specific to my company with no documentation explaining what they are, etc.

>>52534488
Wii Fit is pretty cool, but Wii emulation on PC is pretty much perfect these days and you can even use all that stuff as long as your PC takes bluetooth
>>52534432
Increase in volume was most likely due to the 3DS, which took a year or two after release to get better software support and an increase in sales

>>52534371
Just because said person was popular with a bunch of retards doesn't mean it matters or that people should care. You're part of the problem.

There's not much for it, the wii was pretty much the peak of Nintendo making games exclusively for women and children. You have The Last Story and Pandora's Tower and that's about all i know of worth mentioning. Wiis can usually play Gamecube Games though if you buy a gamecube controller, that's their only real value.

Wasn't me then

>>52534512
Alright I can accept that but 3ds sales weren't that high were they? were they higher than DS and GBA? It just seems odd to me that the volume increased then of all times, right when Nintendo really hit a wall in terms of both sales of their main console and quality

Wars are inflationary, which is why they're good at fixing deflationary economic slowdowns. A WW3 type scenario, nukes aside, would absolutely destroy the United States economy in its current stagflationary state. We would get Weimar-tier hyperinflation. Maybe worse.

Nigga, they're finally profitable and user growth is exploding.

Kek, republicans have majorities in my state's legislature. The governor is a democrat. Thanks to the legislature I got an even fatter pay bump than originally put forwards by the gov. (8% v.s 6% this year). With another bump on tap for next year (6-12%;exact % is still big ?). It's already signed into law with the money set aside for it. Just a mater of waiting till July 1 2023 rolls around.

>>52534898

bro YES there are some hotties I totally get to get all hot and sweaty wrestling with. Seems like everytime i roll with a girl I end up getting stuck in a triangle choke too it's weird

>>52534927
if rolling with a girl is sexual, then rolling with a guy is too. you can't have it both ways.

>>52534459
MONKIES you fucking retard

it's still a fight, it's not really sexual
it still fulfills the basic human need of physical contact with others even if you're not rolling with a girl no homo

>>52534954
you need an emergency fund to avoid risking going into credit card debt if you have an unexpected expense. use it as an emergency fund. you need a 3-6mo emergency fund before you invest

>>52534937
as someone who's done MMA I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, but I don't think rolling is sexual

I'm starting to realize that the only way to make big money in investment quickly is to invest in things that grow, a lot, and in a short time span, and that's very few companies, and a ton of companies want to make you think that's them, so I'm really wondering why anyone doesn't just invest in index funds at all

So I guess there WILL be a recession in the early 2023 right?
Will there be another rally before, I have seen people mention Christmas rally.
I have 71k € invested, 14k in cash ready for investing.

I am down on all but 3 positions I have (6k € in the red), sold AT&T + TROWE-Price + Starbucks for a small profit.
Hopefully I would load of my 3M stock (stupid gamble, chief legal officer is selling so ofc Im a bit worried) and some other I stupidly ran into during the Christmas rally.

Now Im thinking I want to sell in green but that really might not happen, 3M might fuck me real nice. And sell bunch of other stuff I am not 100% about and then buy in early 2023 for a lower price if the market goes tits up

You sure of that? I thought tips were rate of inflation change. So if there is deflation you get rinsed too. Even if inflation is still high if it's less than previous cpis it's still going down in drastically in % you collect. Unless I don't understand them right.

VTI or VOO. Depending on your brokerage they may or may not charge per transaction, and some (my) brokerage doesn't charge if it's an ETF. Look in to how your brokerage charges you. If they don't charge you or charge very little you could instead purchase BRK.B. These broad market ETFs (and Berkshire Hathaway) are not going to be very volatile and are great for you to analyze how you react to gains and losses as well as have skin in the game to speed up your understanding of the market as a whole.

Or dump it in SOXL/SOXS and play it as a $500 lottery ticket

The santa rally is when algos and bulls are buying on low volume and there is little resistance. People are on vacation and don't feel like trading. When vacation ends they come back and sell/rebalance portfolios for a new quarter. This is also why there is often a pump in july (3rd quarter start) and october is good too (4th quarter start). September and may/june are bad (3rd/2nd quarter end). If it's the end of the quarter it will reverse the direction of the end of the previous quarter, usually, as folios must be reorganized.
