almost bought PLUG on friday

up 35% this morning

fuck me now

I heil Hitler nigga

Bobros....i thought we were back? What happened?

I wonder if the market is expecting a finished deal with India soon.
If "deals" start rolling in and we get reduced/no tariffs then it could start bringing the market around (even if it is cope).

big ol' tank of (h/c)ope

Bonds chilled out because Trump backed down after Canada and Japan pointed a gun at his head but it literally isn't business as usual, look at the consumer and productivity data, forget the fucking shipping even

I hate trading in these situations. You'd have to be nuts to be a bull now, but it's also the only way to make money.

I blame my bad decisions on le system

L2P retard

The main thing at this point is really the China tariffs and other restrictions on them. The market could deal with 10% tariffs across the board, but it can't deal with the squillian percent tariffs on China.

Bessent publicly denounced Trump and all that happened is Diaper Donny backed down on the fed.
Bonds have America by the balls and all the market movers know it.

Satoko is right, Trump voters should unironically lose their right to vote.

Did you forget covid already? Grinding the economy to a halt is actually bullish.

Puts in a bear market are just as dangerous as calls, I am not buying anything.

"The system" is delusional and fraudulent.

With 100% of my liquidity, which is 2m. My break even is 12.09. At 52 I'm a 8 figure nigger though. I need this!

But surely the very smart people in institutions see this as well? Is this just holding the bag on a grand scale? Are they just all hoping they'll be able to run out in time?

the reason behind this is how well the "recovery" and free money is great for companies so line go up because free money

In general there's very little concrete data as to how severe the damage is and we're already down from the ATHs. People basically assume the bad news is priced in and are just waiting for confirmation on how bad it is or if Trump is going to cave. Friday has employment data for April but that can be good news since the tariffs haven't really hit with force yet so the market can pump on old data. Then as May keeps chugging along things just gets obviously worse and then report come out at the end of the month or whatever and thats when things actually start crashing

There you go mr.crabs.
Of course they do but the music is still playing, and the true bubble is in private equity.

Do you think the US balance sheet currently has room for covid style stimulus?
The Fed might have room on its balance sheet to buy REPOs and Tbills to keep rates low, but there's still an inflationary environment, plus the uncertainty regarding the medium-term effects tariffs.
So the Fed isn't going to do anything anytime soon, they can't even cut rates yet.

I just don't know how he can't cave with midterms. Right now we are on track for Walmarts prices to double.
It's unsustainable. Eventually Congress will grow balls.

the system is seeing companies get handed money hand over fist and being able to report that income on balance sheets, which means line go up

It's time to think about positioning for the next fed chair

It's pretty simple, really.

Large traders are selling assets

Commercial hedgers are short covering

retail is holding/buying dips

Eventually, retail will throw in the towel and that's when the real fun starts

1745092407898.jpg - 1080x589, 246.18K

Doombull thesis still applies. Barring any cataclysmic shocks, the market WILL go up

The Fed was gearing us up for rate hikes last JPow speech. If tariffs actually don't hurt the economy and send unemployment spiraling, then expect the Fed to hike rates.

The only thing that will bring rates down is spiraling unemployment. And if that happens, rates cuts won't cut it.

Until the prices actually move and the shelfs are visibly empty, markets will continue to be delusional.

I do feel we have 10x our odds of a black swan event and that's concerning but it's still unlikely and without it things will return back to normal after Donny gets dome econ lessons.

Remember the death of the dollar is intended to support exports so position accordingly

Covid-tier or worse. Tariffs could've been that bad, but not now

What fucking exports
The US was already exporting, every bit of "deficit" is an export that the fed pumped out of thin air
The US being the world reserve currency means it's the only country on the planet where they can force other people to hold their bags by just buying more than they can afford

You can be more competitive exporting items to the third world if your country becomes a third world.

Truly genius, I never thought of it that way, my mind has opened to truth

In revenues which is 10% less than what they made last year. Ford made 40 bil in the same timeframe, up 5% yoy.

fords been around way longer
why expect tsla to outperform them?

I expect Tesla sales to actually grow yoy because they are priced like a growth stock. If old shit like Ford is growing faster than you by 15% then you aren't a growth stock.

revenue is down 20% in their automobile division. It is a retarded meme stock. Thats why elon bought twitter because his stock has no connection to reality, so might as well spend it to get more businesses.

You know what really hurts? I was right. I was FUCKING RIGHT to go short! But that scampump on open tripped my stoploss and fucked me. I held over the weekend because I fucking knew something like this would happen, but still I lost money because my stoploss was ten measly dollars too low. Goddamnit it hurts.

China at this point has a healthier society/economy than the US, when both are looked at in a vacuum. What China shills forget is that China is tied at the hip to the US economy and the dollar hegemony, and that if the US goes down, it's taking everyone else with them

Goddamnit today's peak was just $10 above my stoploss.

Xi will reincarnate into the body of a 16 year old girl

dont worry! retail is buying the dip

you are interpreting this wrong
bulls shit more frequently than bears says my AI assistant

Xi has an inner circle of hyper wealthy shadow families, all Chinese power is consolidated in a super small group, he has groomed some nigga to do his biddings

I severely doubt "hyper wealthy" is the key there, the chink way is that having power gets you money, money doesn't buy you power

They've saved me from huge losses before.

Old money and influence exists in every culture
In china if you accidentally become a billionaire you get tard wrangled into their politics to stay in line or they'll suicide you

accidentally become a billionaire

Oh yeah I've heard of that... must be horrible

I knew this was going to turn green monday.
SOXL has to go back down to 9 and TQQQ has to go back to 45

Yeah but those accidental billionaires aren't the ones that hold real power and pooh bear isn't talking to them
Xi is probably just in good enough health he doesn't need to worry about a hard successor, whoever succeeds him is probably already clear in the party internals

This. Your stop loss should be your exit. If you aren't planning on exiting, you shouldn't have a stop loss. If you're trading with so much money that you feel you need a stop loss to be safe, then you need to trim down your position.

India always attaches visa rules and tries every trick in the book to avoid lowering their own barriers and to steal IP. There's a reason so few countries have a comprehensive deal with them.

At some point you do need to have an exit strategy though right? Otherwise you can lose everything.

Why this mf keep buying BTC at the top? It was 74k last week but he buys it at 94k

file.png - 848x512, 279.69K

Of course you should have an exit strategy. Stop losses and especially trailing stops are great for that. But don't put one in until you're actually ready to exit -- putting one up is knowing that you're going to close your position, whether you choose to or not.

What helps is not yolo'ing your kid's collegefund and your life savings into SOXS
Usually, when I short something, it's intended for the medium-/long-term without leverage and less than 5% of my folio.
After Nov 6th, I shorted a German cement exporter, a Norwegian seafreight logistics company, and Apple, and bought more shorts more when the prices rose.
I'll HODL until the positions are up at least 20%, and from then on, I'll start closing the positions.

Tommorow + Wednesday: face ripping pump before Amazon earnings

Thursday: The dumpening begins due to amazon missing earnings

I've decided to just stop looking. If it goes up I'm green, down and I'm red. Just gonna hodl and trust the plan, unironically. Whenever I tried shorting or swing trading we'd get a random out of nowhere pump. The only tried and true method for me right now aside from sitting in cash is just to hodl and buy the dips however long it takes.

Amazon's not going to miss earnings. People are buying everything now before tariffs hit and price shock occurs. Amazon's going to crush earnings and put out dire forecast but the forecast will be ignored and the market will remain delusional for another week.

bombed the job interview lol. The humiliation ritual never ends.
poorfag. No one cares about consumers buying stuff off amazon. They care about aws and data center outlook.

Yeah, I was just going to say this. The funny thing is people won’t understand that people are buying just for the reason of tariffs. I hope I’m wrong, but retail will feel bullish and get trapped.
Q2 will probably be a disaster, but Amazon sometimes gets lucky with big AWS contracts.
The question is, will Amazon mention the T-word during the Q1 earnings call?

once he owns every bitcoin price goes to infinity since he will never sell

Whenever I tried shorting or swing trading we'd get a random out of nowhere pump.

just put SL/TP? your other strategy also is vulnerable to huge correction that will take months or years to comeback in some scenarios like with tariffs (it's not over yet)

made $400 profit on SPX puts
now my only position is an AAPL $215 call expiring in 2 weeks for some upside protection while i buy more SPX puts tomorrow
i think bears are out of steam today

forgot about amazon. glad i saw you faggots eating each others ass about it. entered @185.5 a min ago. software doesn't care about tariffs. two weeks of tariffs wont do much damage imo.

To be fair, that probably doesn't include all the illegal labor they were using.

the same amount of construction now takes twice as many workers as it did in the 70s

Huh? Why is this, are modern homes that much larger or more complex?

Does China use AWS

isn't the plan to improve the lives of an average American? why should it benefit the overbought stock market kek, wouldn't it be better if the market faggots are forced to take out their cozy money and start doing real business that create jobs

probably. are their digital tariffs now

So, what fake tweet will they unleash this time to make the markets pump. And the market, being a collective of complete retards, will obviously buy the obvious fucking lie. Like it did 5 times already.

idk, just wondering
There technically wasn't a tariff on LNG I think but Xi probably just whispered to the state companies to not do it anymore
He could probably do the same to AWS/Azure

Why is this, are modern homes that much larger or more complex?

Homes are approximately 50% larger now than they were in the 70s. Average square footage for a new build went from 1500 to 2100.

we always have headline risks

I don't how much of this applies to the US, but for example in Germany, housing is getting fucked by too much regulation. New homes need to fulfill many new requirements, some good, some unnecessary, that make the process more expensive and take longer.

That's definitely ThinkOrSwim mobile.

See I don’t mind thinkorswim. It’s pretty customizable. The only downside is that if you want to customize with your own scripts you have to do it on desktop which I don’t like doing because it’s just easier to trade on the mobile app.

Give me one good reason to not buy lotto calls every day in anticipation for a tariff lift

Kek, same. Spain was very much a culture shock for me. Everything closes for siesta (it was winter btw), everything closes early, nothing's open on Sunday and you're lucky if they're open on Saturday. Not to mention the hundreds and thousands of Chinese running rundown shops full of the trashiest chinktrash you can think of.

Driving around Andalucia was fun though.

I'm a long time ToS user too and I've noticed that as well. The mobile app has a flow to it that you don't seem to have in the desktop version. I'm sure if I was a turbo-autist and got all my windows and whatnot customized then maybe I could get it the same, but really the main reason I use ToS desktop is for big charts, easier to see studies, and analysis tools you don't get in the app.
Then I do a lot of my actual trading in the app itself, despite having ToS desktop open at the same time.

My predictions

Pressure from retailers and economists mounts on Trump and he eventually cucks out and calls Xi, probably lowering tariffs to 50% as an olive branch

market jumps to ATH and we go back to a semi normal bull market

long term implications of supply chain interruptions due to tariffs begin to set in by the beginning of June

market has an extremely red day followed by a couple dead car bounces before collapsing

WEEKS

50% is still bad and unsustainable

its so tiny

fuck, I had to quit my TSLA short, it was a bad decision

Tariffs of "just" 50% would still shutter untold amounts of businesses

I agree with the general sentiment, but I think the timescale is too short, and that Trump won't cuck out for at least a month. Trump isn't going to cuck until the economy is on the brink -- and it'll bring it back for a bit, but only for a bit.

idk, need an enterprise subscription to check

boom boom boom boom
tssss tssss tssss tssss
boom tsss boom tssss

I traded like that when he first announced tariffs. Turns out he cucked out the literal day that the "reciprocal" tariffs went into effect and I lost a ton of a money.

Trump won't cuck out for at least a month

he's already cucking, begging Xi to call

port of san pedro was bussin when i was there in feburary

Capture.png - 464x587, 634.72K

Yeah that’s why I said the long term effects would still sink in. But the market fucking skyrocketed off of news of a pause on reciprocal tariffs while completely unsustainable tariffs on China remained, so a drop to 50% with the possibility of talks would have a similar temporary effect.

Why do women starve themselves it’s so sad

A bit overweight

He's currently feeling the pain from having cucked out, I guarantee he's regretting it. All the other countries tones changed substantially the moment he showed weakness, now they know he's not serious. The stock market at the moment is high, not low, and Trump has never been one to listen to people's opinions if he's convinced he's right.

His mood currently is combative and recalcitrant. It's going to take another emergency like what was happening with the bonds to get him to kneel again.

I look like that but male.

They just bully each other into being retarded.

Hes gonna cuck

Isn’t it absurd? A buxom and self-aware goddess can be complimented day in and day out by every man on earth but a single jealous skeleton bitch making a snide remark is all it takes for her to start trying to starve herself. Meanwhile, actual fat wastes of air on mobility scooters in Walmart have 0 shame for their weight.

Oh I agree he's gonna cuck, but not until it happens. I don't think he gives a fuck about what Walmart says, he almost never cares about what other people think. If he thinks he's right, he's gonna go ahead with it.

But he's been asking China to call and repeating that he's open to deals. I read that as wanting to walk back, don't you?

Fake out confirmed. Prepare for liftoff.

IMG_3279.gif - 220x247, 956.38K

I mean from the extremely blurry background I can make out maybe a quarter of the capacity of the port being filled. That’s still pretty bad.

He definitely wants to walk back but the biggest thing he wants is to be hard on China. If he blinks, he gets actually nothing here.

His whole thought process was that since China feels the impact of the tariffs first that they would be eager to bend the knee before the US started to feel the impact. But China is petty as fuck and willing to cut their nose off to spite their face and tell the US to go fuck itself. He never wanted the China tariff to actually impact the US, but China won't play ball and now he's backed into a corner with no way out. He either has to be weak on China, or he has to risk the impact to the economy -- and I guarantee you he thinks the impact is overblown and not going to be as bad as people say.

The market is fucking stupid. What does that that change if I die drowning in 10m of water or in 5m of water. Nothing, I'm still fucking drowning.
Remember, the market is the collective retardation of mankind.

covid

shelves were like 90% empty ONE TIME I went to the store then never again

If he looks weak on china they can just say it was 4d chess or whatever and it won't affect his ratings or midterms, if there's a recession and empty shelves then the entire party is completely fucked and you're gonna see crazy shit like iowa flipping blue. His best option is to reverse all the tariffs and pretend it never happened.

Trade never stopped during covid. Ships were still doing their thing. Ports were still doing their thing. Plane freight was fucked indeed, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to ship freight.

If he blinks, he gets actually nothing

bro he's getting nothing either way. at this point he should be playing to lose as little as possible

Yes -- but he doesn't see it that way. You've gotta realize he's not tuned into reality, he's in an echo chamber surrounded by yes men.

Stop lying, retard
Crews had to be quarantined and everything got bottlenecked at ports.

Bessent jerking off the poos so Apple doesnt fall apart when we should prioritize other more important nations like Vietnam and Taiwan to our import industry

This admin is so fucking stupid

Good morning saars wasn't a meme. Our admin is literally comped by (Zionist) Jews and Poos. Why? I don't know.

good point, the new cabinet do be having a lot of knob polishing sessions

Presidents have been impeached over less dicksucking than Trump gets on a daily basis

Hmm I wonder why.
Just jeets doing what they do best whenever the get foot in a compan full nepotism, only hiring theirs, instead of competent people.

dude looks so happy

He's desperate for a walk back but his ego won't allow him to initiate it. China is going to make him call them first to get anything going.
I'm expecting an initial olive branch offer of walking back US tariffs in response for China to walk back theirs. Then an attempt to work on a "deal" or any sort.

It's literally destroying IT in the fortune 500 company I work for. I hope the pakis slaughter as many Indians as humanly possible in this new meme war.

Don't forget just how many CEOs of major corporations are Indian.

yep
I work at fedex
the ceo is a poo now and we've been having computer problems nonstop for months

this is bullish

What's nuts is all the good leader boomers are taking early retirement because they say working isn't "fun" anymore because of how bad the new Jeet world order is. How the fuck is this still happening?! I can't believe modi has Trump's ear either. I am literally going insane.

For Infosys, HCL or Tata? Ya probably.

How are your shorts doing, Mr. Brown?

You'd think this type of decision has a contingency planned for the very simple question "what if the chinks don't?"

computer problems nonstop for months

saar did you rub poo on it?

You see all that empty space? It shouldn't.

you dont need contingency when you just make up the problem, the solution , and the victory conditions, and just say that you won. The level retardation is truly epic.

the chinese already walked back some of their tariffs
it's just a matter of time now
the only "people" that will "blink" are the american people who think MSM is their friend and believe everything it says

saars please do the needful

*write detailed bug report with evidence that what is suggested won't work and logically makes no sense*

*No response*

I hate Indians so much it's unreal.

Done for the day. 546 0dte call saved my ass. I was down $2k because of dumb put this morning. I should just trade in the afternoon.

good on ya
see you in 5 mins

*write detailed bug report

there's your problem, you needed to submit a poo report. Indian CEO immediate farms out work to indians in india and that's the start of all the problems.

Who cares? it's just seattle

When should I expect a pltr pullback? It's my main csp play

West coast receives most of chinas freight

FOURTH TURNING

I just don't understand why the market is green.

Xi cucked out?

Damn I didn't trade at all today

They dropped their tariffs on certain US semiconductors. It's not much of a cuck, desu.

the market is in full blown denial about everything post inauguration. people desperately want to believe trump genuinely isn't that retarded and grasp at any straw possible to moon.
much as it's easy to mock it is understandable, like as political rhetoric people have been blaming presidents for ruining the economy for decades but this is the first time it's unambiguously a president's fault the economy tanked with no other supplementary reasons - and no less from a president the markets believed would lead them to some promised land of deregulation, tax cuts, and nothing but maybe some targeted tariffs at china.

Better off without it.

cometogether.jpg - 959x1278, 91.95K

Thanks, that makes sense. So I guess the market tanking is delayed with the 90 day tariff delay and the belief that the China tariffs will soon be reduced.

They only dropped tariffs on semiconductors they really need

trump keeps cucking just enough to soothe the denialists on wall street but not cucking enough to actually solve or even really mitigate the problem
so we're in a special sort of hell kek

imagine the smell

Remember the death of the dollar is planned and intentional. This is all so jpow lowers the rates to solve immediate problems.

Ding ding ding! How did it go today anon?

I am not feeling good

death of the dollar

Look at the EUR/USD. Notice how it climbs the very moment the SP also started climbing? The market is not up in real terms.
And it's at a time where 90% of Spain and Portugal are without electricity, completely paralyzed, at that. How in the fuck is EUR even up in a day like this.
It's pretty telling.

djt 1 was deflationary, djt 2 is... deflationary.

I have a lot of things to say, but I'm not going to say them because this thread is about to 404 and I demand attention for my genius observations.

I'm replying to this post so that the thread moves faster onto the next one and so that my mother doesn't die in her sleep

No one cares about Hispaniola thoughbeit. It's been a shithole for some time.

yep
we call it POORtugal for a reason
spains not exactly a powerhouse either

Trump cucked on his feud with Jpow because Jpow ignored him and every intelligent brain in finance told him he's a fucking moron if he tries to compromise the central bank
The guy theyre gonna replace him with was a literal former fed banker also

My bad. Iberia. Whatever.

Whenever I simulate trades I do really well and whenever I actually put money on the line it goes to shit. What the fuck?

Calling working. Betting on cope works so far. Still nervous longterm. Not sure. I think MIC shit is safe only because they're already "America first" within reason.

It's much simpler than that. Retail participation has notched new all-time highs every single year ever since shit like Robinhood came into existence, and the overwhelming majority of them literally only buy, for numerous possible reasons:
- They have a cash account and cannot short
- They don't conceptually understand shorting, what it is or how it works
- They think shorting is moral and they're "defeating Wall St" by going long

As if that's not enough, they don't pick stocks; they overwhelmingly favor passive investing, ie. blindly dumping money into SPY or similar. Bank of America put out a report earlier this year stating that passive funds now account for 54% of all investments. Meaning, these investors make unironically zero effort to evaluate fundamentals or assign a fair price to stocks. The result is what we see in current decade. Stock prices are completely and utterly decoupled from any metric of reality. The sooner you embrace this, the better. The only winning strategy in this day and age is to go long with as much leverage as humanly possible, and it's impossible to lose because retards will pay literally any price for stocks.

Weak USD, Strong yen discussed over weekend

The death of the dollar is intentional.
Trump will get his 0% rates no matter what.

To be fair, it's really hard to consistently beat SPY. I don't blame them. My retirement has been purely index tracking forever now and my portfolio is mostly index tracking ETFs.
It really just shows how clowny all this really is desu.

He'll get his zero, but it won't be as cataclysmic as killing JPow. If jpow does it, people will accept it, but removing jpow and trying will be 10x worse.

it's really hard to consistently beat SPY

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. Everybody holds this belief, and so they dump their money into the S&P, and so whatever the constituents of the S&P are, they mathematically cannot go down with so many people blindly buying. Wall St knows it too and all their strategies are built around this dynamic of retail going long no matter what and without a single moment of hesitation or scrutiny.

Exactly. To be fair, isn't the market mostly just a self-fulfilling prophecy? It's not like the olden days where the market was mostly trading options on wheat or corn or whatever. It's all just financial services shit.

Also my 401k is LOCKED IN and railroaded into whatever bullshit index tracking "funds" my company's benefits center picks. At one company they had some weird broker access thing, but it was retard expensive compared to just getting raped on mutual fund fees.
Wage cucks are forced to long no matter what because social security is a scam.

I suppose. There's no end in sight as long as the population keeps growing to keep fueling the ponzi scheme. If not, there could come a day where the number of people who need to cash out for their retirement starts matching or exceeding the people entering the scheme, at which point it everyone will abruptly remember all this shit is completely made up.

Itt, retards think they understand stocks.

I don't care what his endgoal is, compromising of the fed will have every single foreign investor doing a fucking bank run

anon, you can’t just show an empty ship yard and be done with it. that’s how boomers fall for ai generated shit in facebook. ask yourself these questions:

what was the port like a few weeks ago?

is there any maintenance being done that would cause them to move containers?

what was the port like a year ago this time? 2 years?

it’s literally basic research they teach kids in HS.

What the hell is a Teams interview? I don't have a webcam or a smartphone

I just don't understand why the market is green.

does not matter if green or red to make money, just learn to make money

Microsoft teams, it's like zoom or whatever, frankly if you don't have those then you as well try to delay it until you do, you need a webcam/mic for it

Oh I'm not doing that for a warehouse job

Teams always gives an option for a dial-in number, so you can call. If it's a warehouse job, that's probably fine. For anything white-collar/office, they'll assume you're cheating if you do this though.

Teams interview?

Microsoft Teams? They want to see your ugly face, but just use a gendure, color neutrol cartoon fig to hid your real appearance and a fake neutral background.

I don't use proprietary software

If you're white, just tell them a lie about your ethnicity that is vaguely believable. I always say I'm Coptic Egyptian even though I'm obviously just a regular white guy. They can't really question it though or they're racist.

I improvised a whole backstory about my "Egyptian side of the family" and how they survived the revolution when they asked about it.

Got the job. Now I sit at a desk and answer 2-3 emails a day and make $140k/annum, WFH 3 days a week and shitpost on Anon Babble. Life is literally so easy.

"Egyptian side of the family"

jewish owners not going to hire muslims. Need to talk talk about your suffering at the hand of oppressors when your family fled europe during the first world war, remember to hunch over and rub your hands alot.

Maybe I'll check it out

Unless they sent you an email invite with the links and info, you might have to ask them for the dial in number, meeting id and passcode.

+0.6%

Not too bad. Boughted some spy at the peak which was unfortunate, but I need to reduce my cash position before I miss out on too many gains

The email just lists available times and they want me to respond back with whatever time I'm available

Coptic is specifically not Muslim exactly for that reason. That and I refuse to even pretend to be Jewish interviews.

I came to this conclusion very late in life. Spent years trying to “make” it holding stocks. Was never good at it. Tried doing 3-5dte options… it was better, but still failed a lot.
Then I tried scalping 0dte options and it just clicked. Suits my personality, I’m risk averse, terrible attention span, emotionally resilient, not impulsive, and love near immediate gratification (or opposite if I fuck up).

inb4 “you can’t be risk averse and trade options!”

Oh yes, yes you can nigger.

Then I tried scalping 0dte options and it just clicked

would you care to enlighten us a bit?

I posted what I do here If I told you how much money I’ve lost buying actual stocks, you would definitely call me insane for even trying options.
I don’t know how to explain, but it doesn’t feel like I’m trading at all. It felt more like a gambler doing actual stock trades than I do with options. It’s like I can actually feel people trading SPY.

IMG_3504.gif - 480x360, 1.93M

This spx 0dte option went from 60$ to 1900$ in a matter of hours, kinda insane

Well I responded back. I'll just go over to my mothers house and use her goyphone

Well I responded back.

wear a kippa and make sure they can see it, and tell them all your family members are lawyers.

here. On a walk so off my WiFi
SPX 0dte’s will be my next step up. Don’t know it as well as SPY so I have some research to do. But I should have enough money in a month or so to start. Any tips

Kek. It's not the warehouse job I thought it was but a better opportunity
