Tesla sales WAYYYY down… missed earnings on EPS and revenue… somehow the stock goes up?

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

Yes. You simply have no clue how the stock market works. Short term price action means nothing. More than 90% of all trades are done by bots on complex algos.

The entire market goes up at the moment, because there are technical signs that we have reached the bottom. I was telling people to buy a week ago but of course they told me we are going to die and we are heading towards a recession.

I dont think so guys. Big money is buying right now.

I got paid at midnight and after paying bills this morning I have about 73 dollars in my account. Which stocks should I buy?

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

Bread. :)

I told my buddies to buy. They did not. I started investing in stocks at 30 march and was 6k euros deep before the crash. Went all in because 2/3rd of the time doing lump sum beats DCA. So during a crash, it's likely to be a really good choice.

ATM I have 8,47% total profit on 22,3k euros investment in STOXX 600 etf. This thing has 0,07% TER and I do not even pay taxes on the dividends within my own country. Only at the initial source. My country has no capital gains tax and it's an accumulating ETF.

I'm quite amused by Trump's shenanigans causing hysteria.

Sadly we are in the minority and people think they should wait until stocks become expensive again, and then buy. I dont know, something is wrong with how people think about stocks.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

Buy stocks in uncertain times and gold in certain times. Seems pretty logical to me.

Give it time, Trumpler will have all 3.

But because of the belligerent attitude other countries stopped buying US debt, at a time where debt is exploding and up for renewable. Something is going to break.

And the only real stipulations is the oppression of your workers and bending the knee to those more money than you.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Goddamnit, I hate this shit. Its simple, folks. You have to spend money to make money. That's how the saying goes, and that's how the world works. When my car insurance goes up despite my flawless driving record, I don't ask them to explain where the money is going, I just pay my fucking bills. When my rent gets increased despite the house I'm in literally falling apart around me, I don't ask why they don't send repair people, I just pay my goddamned rent. You all act so entitled, like there is some great value that is to be derived from your work. You're a fucking slob just like everyone else, and you are lucky that the companies trust you enough to do business with you in the first place. Hell, I'd pay double just to get a meaty black uncut cock in the ass and I'd be thankful for the privilege. I mean, I'd pay them a lot of money for that. Even if it was just one time. Just once, and I would sing their praises. Just, sing. Fuck you, anyway. Fucking slobs. Stop wasting your time posting about this shit online and get back to work.

Had me in the first half. But judging by the downvotes, half the people don't recognize sarcasm :)

Satire is dead.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Can't downvote because I agree, can't upvote because it's depressing.
