This thread is moving so slowly, I'm going to tell you that I have lots of friends, lots of money, have perfected living, and have never thought about sleeping with my cousin.

happy new years

I hate black people.

How has your year turned out? Mine was great.

I'm at a point where I think I'm looking at buying puts for my Santa Gainers. I just worry we may seriously see another retail rally, because we can. Which, of course I'll be fine with, but if I'm gonna go in on puts, that could cost me.

What about you?

>>57143564
Oh, did you mean actual drink?
I bought some massive shitty bottle of Gin from Costco, 2 liters for the price of 1 from Wallyworld, and have been making all flavors of real gin and juice for weeks. It's like drinking mulled wine without the sulfates.

Happy New Year /smg/gers

Kind of a wasted year for me. I really need to do better in 2024. I’ll never get an anime girlfriend at this rate.

Happy new years.

More of the fancy beers I bought yesterday. I was right my tolerance is hilariously low from eight months of no alcohol prior. Before that I'm going for a sunset cruise in my car. It's warm outside and I want to roll down the windows as it's going to get cold soon.

really, damn shame that FL is tearing up all the groves. best fucking Oranges on earth come from Florida. Texas and CA are too hot and too dry, the oranges from there taste like a mix between a pepper and orange grass. It's probably the mix between the swamp and the cattle turds they used to fertilize. True gem of humanity disappearing for boomer retirement golf courses.
>>57143745
That explanation makes me want to make out with you just to taste it.

>>57143751
Well; it sure aint a richer!

>>57143753
OJ doesn't get magic properties just because it came from a plant. It is basically noncarbonated soda with vitamin C.

Finally went from 6 figure hell to 7 figure suicide watch. I still think the market is overbought, but I'm not moving anything away from the markets so I'm prepared to cope with a 30 percent haircut if it happens. If I would have listened to my pussy brain the last 3 years and pulled I would've had my lunch eaten anyway.

>>57143812
550k. No house.

I need some guidance, smg cocksuckers. I'm selling $80k worth of bitfarms, what do I buy? Thinking 25% UPRO over 2 months and then what else?

>>57143703
They were a brokerage firm. They act as a middle man between the people buying stocks and the people selling stocks. They also take care of any paperwork involved. Before the days of online trading you called these people to buy and sell stocks. How new are you fren?

I don't have a house either. I could buy one but in the long term it wouldn't make me as wealthy as keeping my equities. Maybe I should stack enough SCHD to pay a mortgage. I wonder if that counts as half-assing it.

>>57143812
About $400k in my regular account. Also have an IRA (no clue) and a ROTH (no clue). Own three homes paid for and not sure what they are worth. I’m like not checking anon but I only pay attention to one account.

Statistically speaking you are better off buying lump sump.

Went to SHAK for my new years eve meal. Was pretty good. Though they didn't center the top bun on the burger, was a bit lopsided. Will not be investing.

What penny stocks for 2024?

Happy New Year /smg/! What is everyone's new years resolution? Mine is to finally get back into the markets (shorting obviously) now that I'm making more money. I also hope to be a better husband to my wife Miko, and a better father to my daughter Natsuki, (pic related).

>>57143640
>the second 6 pack of tall boys wasn't enough
>going to have to go back and awkwardly drunkenly walk in to buy more
>or go to the store 25 minutes of walking one way (vs 10) to buy more
Think I'm going to walk the distance I can't handle walking back into the store to buy more. Reminds me too much of going into the same licka store twice a day or gas station twice or three times a day for more booze. So much shame. But it's OK tomorrow my life turns around.

>>57144335
I have no resolutions.
Will you be doing a year end review video update, hopefully one less depressing than the last one that was deleted? Or is your YT channel closed?

You can figure Ivy League under false registration. Positions on board of directors of some big charity or hospital and partners at some firm that does something that nobody can really identify clearly.
Alternatively, they're back home in Indonesia.

It was a campaign to bring back almsot 300 Nigerian school girls taken by Boko Haram. I'm fairly certain after seeing the hash tag all the girls were given back and Boko Haram voluntarily dismembered itself.

>>57144544
Ahh, as though suddenly Central Africa was a civilized place where kidnapping of brides is a surprising event. Strange Zeitgeist that period, for sure.

Happy new year guys. I got so much better at art this year, and I can't wait to see how beautifully I'll be able to depict my wife next year!

>>57144571
Happy new year buncun, hope you and your wife have an excellent 2024.

>>57144558
I remember now, what happened was black panther came out and he found out it was all Trump supporting white men who kidnapped the Nigerian school girls. He murdered them all, then melted their bones to build another statue to St George Floyd. An inspirational story.

>>57144587
To be clear, he murdered the Nigerian school girls, not the Trump supporters.

Well considering a lot of people are deep in debt and can't drum up $5000 if they needed it long as your doing better than that your golden.Aside; $314,000 roughly at 40 (almost 41). Also it's not about the raw money number that's important; it's having enough to live of off post retirement and keeping out of the debt hole that is.

Watching this rockford files ep where everyone's after 300k some woman ran off with. Involving fake death, a funeral,etc. A lot of work for 300k. But then I remembered the ep was shot in 1974. Then 300k would be round 1 million today.

Not if he's factoring it into fuel costs

>>57145697
I've accepted that I don't have a home but I do benefit from having her pooling in money with me and saving costs with me and also she is there to support me emotionally. However her shits have gotten rancid and so has her sweat. She smells very bad from weight gain. She eats a lot of doritos

About $60,000. I'm adding $20,000 per year with my Roth, HSA, and 401k and now that my student loans are paid off I'm gonna be able to add another $10,000 in a taxable account as well

For some reason $30,000 a year doesn't feel like enough. Inflation has completely skewed everything

Does anyone do meth before trading? Or has anyone in here tried?

>>57145767
why not coke?

>>57145771
Meth helps a lot more with functionality and focus. I've found that it is overall just better in every aspect for trading, especially trading weekly options.
So no one else here smokes shards while trading? Considering I am like about 30 years older than most of you it's not surprising. You all use vapes and such nowadays, not some clean ice to hot rail and fire up the broker.

>>57145775

>>57145779
The paranoia with meth enhances decision making for trading imo. I've tried telling Jake about that and he didn't really listen but he likes to still do some shards before looking at his favorite stock charts once in a while. I'm not sure. Kyle tried it for a while and totally screwed the pooch on his broker account.

>>57145790
the money you spend on ice should be spent on assets.Tax man will want receipts for your wealth. I smoke cannabis; not meth. Lot cheaper and dont need as much.

You're getting that backwards, poojeets worship what Satan inspires them to, including toilet witches and oranges.

Also I completely agree that Pakistan may actually do really well economically.
Imran Khan helped bring attention to corruption at all levels, even though they couped him. That is a country that is finding it's feet pretty well.

How the fuck do I get my complete tradelog from IBKR? Why is it so complicated to begin with this should be very basic functionality.

What are the chances of 2024 market wide crash? I had to take up being a wagie for the first time in my life last year to try and minimize my portfolio's losses which says a lot. If I can go back to being a NEET again and ride on easy gains once more that would be great.

yes and we pulled back again to confirm it, 2023 was a good time to buy in just like the chart says. if you keep trying to question it you are just going to keep missing out

>>57143584
I'm pretty sure there's still some upward room left.

My brother is a doctor and he attends medical conferences every now and then where new medicines are pitched.

Usually when these mass clinical trials the stocks significantly rise in price, so he has a sort of knowledge of which pharma stocks to keep track off.

He recently told me about “mounjaro” has recently been FDA approved in the US and is a revolutionary obesity drug. Bought 5k worth in shares in Eli Lilly & Company which is the patent holder.

Hope this stuff will sell well in 2024 and gain further approvals outside the US as well. If this works out I might even go to these conferences myself. Not sure if I already missed the boat on this though , I hope not

500k I sold my two houses in the summer and fall of 2022 one by choice because I was moving to gay Europe and the other somewhat unexpectedly because my tenant blew his brains out in the master bedroom closet of my rental. I'm holding 400k cash because I want to buy a house when I get back to America in 2025.

>>57147464
it might be legit but it is missing a lot of the in between moves. i saw another prediction that also had 24 and 25 bullish.

I'm firing every single manager who asks a potential employee to contact their previous boss.

Imagine having these retards hire people for you, asking employees stupid fucking questions like this.
I'd have a fucking company of retards and liars working for me.

Why the fuck would an employee leave their previous job if their boss treated them well?
They fucking wouldn't leave that job.
Obviously their previous job is shit, how fucking useless some of these managers are.

Welp happy new year and 2024! Hopefully this year is more laid back and profitable than last year was. I just want this year to be one long non "shat happens" event. (aka; more green piling up than getting sucked out).

Everyone is racing to sell now that we're in tax year 2024. All those delayed cap gains can now be realized.
Markets will be 10% lower within 3 weeks.

Why did google fake their AI video and why has the guy talking in the video a thick indian accent?

By my calculations, it should only take two more weeks actually. The markets are collapsing.

Is there even one country on earth where the white demographic is not declining? I'd bet on their market over western(un-developing) vs "developing"(shitholes that have exploding population growth due to the residual culture of making 10 babies because 9 always died until very recently when they imported a bunch of white people ways of organizing a civilization but they are subhumans so it won't amount to anything in the long run *INHALE*) nations.

Wow this year is already starting to look like shit

>>57148405
You should study history. The new year often marks reversals.
Here are a few just from the last 5-6 years:
>fall 2017 to winter 2018
Markets topped after pumping the entire first year of Trumps presidency. Crabbed for 6 months afterwards, then collapsed on rate hikes
>fall 2018 to winter 2019
Markets bottomed on christmas after a tax loss season collapse into rate hikes peaking and China trade war fears
>fall 2019 to winter 2020
This one didn't peak until early February with a big blowoff top. I think you know what happened next.
>fall 2020 to winter 2021
New election meant new deficit spending and a competition for which candidate can push out the biggest checks to the median voter. Markets pumped, obviously. Still - There was a dip in early January with a temporary pause after the post-Nov election pumping.
>fall 2021 to winter 2022
Absolute market peak. Still have not seen S&P push new highs.
>fall 2022 to winter 2023
Markets crabbed all December on tax loss selling, after bouncing from the absolute lows of October. Then January marked a shift towards the true bull run we saw all year - aside from that temporary March banking panic.

>>57148541
You mean to tell me that there's market news every year? Holy shit

>>57148512
lmao I'll remember that and if I ever start a company I will totally send out emails to the wagie scum at the first day of the year

>>57148564
I'm not going to explain twice. If you're reading comprehension is that poor, you deserve to lose.

>>57148577

>>57148583
I'll be waiting for my apology when we're green tomorrow

>>57148596
>tomorrow
Once again, showing your lack of reading comprehension.
Although if I'm being honest, the unironic suggestion to buy SCHD/VOO and your 16% 2023 gain already said enough about your own intellect. Go ahead and chase the top of this spike with more passive allocation. Maybe in 5 years you'll have outperformed inflation.

what is an HealthSA and how do I aboozle it?

>>57148617
Why wouldn't it be red tomorrow if you're right? Everyone's too hung over to sell until the middle of the month? Or do you need more time for everyone to forget your bold prediction?

>>57148669
basically they take money out of your paycheck and don't tax it so you can use it for healthcare bullshit
as far as aboozling it goes, i dunno. The whole thing seems gay unless you are preparing basically your own self funded insurance for that time you need a 300k operation or have regular expenses as a diabetic or something

It's not an overnight thesis. It will take several weeks to play out. When the weather says a hurricane is coming next week, you don't pack a raincoat for tomorrow.
I could be wrong of course, I often am. But I also know that I personally have $80k in gains left unrealized that I plan to offload soon. I know I'm not the only one. A 25% year over year gain for the largest most popular index in the world tends to do that. And I don't trade on absolutes. I'm content to understand that winning 51% of the time on even odds is good enough to compound positively, as long as you properly kelly-size those bets. Buying into this market objectively presents significantly worse risk/reward than 2-3 months ago. Real yields are lower.

Meanwhile, you haven't contributed anything of value. Your refutations are worthless. Rather than provide a counterargument to support a continued bull trend, you simply imply that I'm a shizo bear as if that immediately discredits the entire idea. The irony is that you've self-admitted to producing negative alpha this past year with respect to your own benchmark index, VOO.
When markets have been in a recent uptrend, anything that might be perceived as bearish must be a schizo poster. When markets have been dumping for weeks, all bobos are retards.
You're right about one thing, it's all so tiring. People like you are why momentum itself has positive alpha, but even that is not infinite. Nothing goes up forever.

>>57148669
USA gives you two ways to prepare for health care costs by pulling money out of your paycheck and avoiding taxes. If you're sick or old (like you got cancer) and you know you're gonna have medical bills then go for an FSA. It pairs with a low cost deductible health care plan and saves you money. But any money you have left in the FSA at the end of the year is lost. It's best for people that are old or know they have big costs this year.

The other is an HSA. It allows you to do the same but the money is yours forever so it stacks each year. It comes with a high deductible plan so if you do get sick you have to pay more. This is best for young people who are healthy.

You can also swap between them. So what a lot of people do is build up in am HSA, swap to an FSA when they want to have children, and then go back.

And then you have the degenerate morons who don't have a job and are planning to die alone and think health care plans are scams.

AI has shown me something terrible
The Golden Crab Swan.
Are we hitting peak stagflation?

Welp this year's already started out good. Forgot that the state income tax rate dropped starting January 1. So yay, less green sucked outta my wallet. Then July, if it passes, a 6% pay hike and another 4% hike in 2025. Also uh I seen the new year in on a relaxed note. Wife decided to give me a new year's "treat". So while I was watching the ball fall she was busy uh with another pair of balls.

>>57148669
>>57148865
An HSA is like a Roth in that it's yours and can be done outside your employer. You can open it at fidelity or other brokerages. The only caveat is that you MUST be on a high deductible plan from your work or the IRS is going to fuck you

>>57148903
Can I hold liquid assets like bonds in the HSA?

Broke up with gf. All women think they are fat except the fat ones. MTCH and BMBL.

>>57148923
Good for you. Luckily in your case there is no place to go but up. Who gets to keep the van?

>>57148813
I just react real negatively to that proclamation style you were using. You got a theory? That's cool, I'll listen. "Markets WILL be 10% lower within 3 weeks."? That's a promise, and you've got to act responsibly when you say shit like that. Yeah I was too conservative in 2023. I'm not perfect, but when I make suggestions or predictions I make responsible ones, common wisdom stuff, because the last thing I want to do is cause someone to lose it all. I'm not telling people to pump my penny stocks because I'm not here to rug people or drag people into the swamp with me.
Your theory obviously makes sense, new tax season, but you can't reach a number with just that idea. You can't reach 10% and you can't reach 3 weeks. You're bullshitting. You admit it's not ironclad here but I had to drag that out of you and you still haven't explained how you got there in the first place. There's no argument for me to counter. I appreciate the dialogue.

>>57148923
were you the anon that called her fat last and got in a fight night?

>>57148942
It was my van to begin with. I am going to smoke some shards and begin studying how to attract women on these dating apps.
>>57148967
Yes. I didn't call her fat, just was upset at her for gaining weight.

fat people lack self control.

>>57148465
Poland. I own a lot of Polish stock for exactly this reason.

>>57148978
>just was upset at her for gaining weight.
Oh, I wasn't really paying attention last night. You gotta walk them though you know, women are lazy as fuck once theyre in a relationship.

>>57148978
>just was upset at her for gaining weight.
All women do this when they feel they're in a stable monogamous relationship. "It means she likes you."

I wish we could just dump 15% in one day and go back to being green for months instead of having to sit through an entire several-month correction.

>>57149008
Most American women are actually overweight. Like about 60% of American women range from being a little chubby to being straight up obese. This is very noticeable on dating apps. Perhaps because I'm in a countryside area, the obesity is more noticeable. But it is quite upsetting.

>>57148917
You can hold anything that a brockerage account can. So stocks, etfs, mutual funds, bonds, etc. Its essentially a 401k because you once you reach 65 you can use it for non medical things.

If you start early and stick with it factoring it into your budget ($345 a month) your health care will essentially be free and you'll an additional small retirement plan.

>>57148996
uh?

>>57149020
its not just the women lol, but yeah I hear ya.

What is MSN trying to tell me?

I hate fat women. What's the difference between etfs and etns? How do they work. I was in Prague and every woman was 7+/10 it was incredible. So few fatties. I also dislike dark skinned people but want to impregnate a filipina.

>>57149051
Yeah but they're not bringing in immigrants and the cultural pendulum in the West is shifting hard to the right which will bring up the birth rate.

>>57149080
I want to have white kids but the White women around me are all fat and I notice that Asian women are muc skinnier

>>57149065
Capital flight is coming.

>>57149111
The meth helps me focus on trading, the whole reason i smoke it is so that I can move out of the van life .

>>57149080
>etfs and etns?
If you buy an ETF, you're buying a tiny fractional percent of the equities that the ETF holds. Like, if you buy a share in an S&P 500 ETF, you own a fraction of each company in the S&P 500 (in accordance with whatever proportions the ETF follows).
My understanding of ETNs is that you're buying a contract with the ETN issuer or some counterparty. You don't own any fractions of any equities, but they owe you more if the ETN moves in your direction (and less if it moves against you). Since there's no underlying assets that you own through them, it's essentially just a debt that they owe you which fluctuates in value based on what the ETN tracks. In theory, the ETN issuer is supposed to (required to maybe?) backstop that debt by buying equities that can be liquidated to fulfill the debt, but that doesn't always work out and ETNs can go bankrupt.

What a way to start of the year, didn't know we had a n*gro r*dditor jannie.
Happy new years /smg/. Now give me your 2024 stock picks no shitcos and only profitable companies.
