/smg/ - Stock Market General

Feeling good. Nabbed two scalps so far today, one for 14% one for 7%. It's a slow crabby day so a bad one for this strategy but I'm liking it a lot. Will probably do 2 shares per trade Monday and keep increasing it as I feel more confident.

Crash when?

never, trump is gonna make illegal to sell, we only pump from here

next week on /smg/

please look forward to it!

Midterms, brief but deadly. Then crabs for months, and then massive bullrun. Trust.

Well then the US also agreed on 125% by China
and now agreed to 10% if that is "agreeing" to you. Everybody is currently tolerating it.

I’m sitting on a 592C. We’re going to see 593… dare I say 594?

why are we pumping?

Euro's lose money closing their positions at the end of their day. Americans buy the dip and make money.
This repeats forever until the sun eventually explodes in a few billion years.

europeans can still trade american markets for 6 more hours, its the locals markets that close

Trip.com or Booking.com? I think Trip has a better UI, but I invested in BKNG because it's undervalued.

goddamn i laughed at the idea of UNH going to $285 today and now the calls went from $0.15 to $1.00

memestock territory

???
What are you smoking? You think Euros can't trade the US market once the EU market closes?

did doj drop the case or what?? this unh pump is ridiculous

any recs on what to load up on?

UNH chads wagmi

According to my DCF calculator it's undervalued

No I'm an idiot, everything I do is wrong lately

WOWIE LETS SHORT THE BIGGEST HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY IN USA

WOWIE

MY FUCKING PUTS ARE FRIED AND YOU GUYS JUST CHASE AND ARE SHIT TRADERS

FUXK

why are you surprised people bought the dip

WHAT FUCKING DIP

IM FUCKING RESTRIXTED

YPU GUYS NEED TOCFIZ THIS

MY AXXLUNT IS RESTRIXTED!!!!

spy pumping. 594 eod and 600 end of next week

this really is tesla all over again

Sir, you're supposed to short before a 50% drawdown, not after it

BREAKING: UNH - 3 insiders buyers announced

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BUY SO I JUST PUT MY MONEY IN SCHG

shorting the bottom

Look I've made some dumb mistakes when I was new too but you're supposed to learn from them.

This will get me from 6k to 15k

Was there a unh announcement? Why did it rocket 5%

I told you to buy calls on that shit below $270
What are you one of those fucking liberal fucks who actually condoned Luigi's behavior, and completely ignore the fact he murdered an innocent man who had a wife and kids? Sucks to suck, but I even use a trip code so you can see my picks in real time boss.

UNH woo

Better sell you fucking nerds. Unh is bankrupt in 10 days.

I've reported this faggot like 20 times is tripfagging not a bannable offense?

bought a july $130 put on the off chance luigi 2 happens

Insiders bought a shit ton of shares.
Could mean they found a capable CEO or DOJ is dropping the case.

Listen to yourself. He didn't deserve to be killed. Don't hate the player, hate the game boss.

Apparently Novo Nordisk fired their CEO and is looking for a new one.

They are partnered with HIMS so this could be good for us HIMS lads.

Go on a diet you fat bitch.

What the fuck is going on with UNH. Why such a massive pump on a company that could very well be running on fucking fumes?? At this point just invest on shitcoins if you're into gambling that much, christ.

Running on fumes? WTF are you talking about? 4 billion in income a year?

Americans have ruined the markets

Mag7 really lagging behind again today. Everyone's pumping but most of them are red.

SMCI edition

?
also why are we letting this trannyme slopa make all threads?

MAGA

If I play 0DTE options and close at 20% gain 8 times in a row I can return to my ATH wish me luck bros

The higher the market goes, the slower it moves. Whenever it slides, there is instant trading, fast, jittery movements. Now at times it's moving sideway or on the samespot for seconds. What is this bullshit, there is more action during Chinahours

it's completely normal that markets have higher vol during periods of uncertainty
Bear markets are notoriously more volatile than bull markets

This relentless pump as seriously got me nervous. I'm thinking this may be the "sell in may" moment.

The big tech stocks have all topped out and stopped running, and the market as a whole is pretty deeply overbought.

At absolute best we crab all next week. At worst we see a correction and a retest of the 200 MA. Selling now is pretty safe imo, there's a lot of downside risk and very little upside potential.

You are STUPID
The market is never going down.
EVER
You LOST
we are in the GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA

sell is may might be a destroyed paradigm, retail is up big and buy the dip has worked the last like 50 fucking times.

when you're nervous you buy, this isn't rocket science

Lmao this pump is going to defy all logic don't think yourself out of pure profits over the next 4 years.

oh wow my bags have been pumped

nevermind,too eutrophic

shit's ogre

arent the china tariffs going to be reconsidered once again in june or july?
It mightbe time to start rotating out of long into short

what do i need to invest in to get a chance to pet a cutie like that

eutrophic

What does the stock market have to do with algae sucking all the oxygen out of water killing animal life?

How am I supposed to make money now? I can't buy spy calls every day

Even if the China tariffs are going to stay at current paused rates, it's still way above what we started at. Feels like the market is playing chicken with a wall somewhere between here and the ATH.

everything.

Happy AAPL dividend day bros

90 days and they might renew it.

Also thought of selling tech stock before then and buying the inevitable dip before it pumps back up

gambling is pretty nice. stocks are doing nicely too but bets daily gains are easier and more reliable

Let me let in a little secret

Tiktok is supposed to be banned now, you know what its not? Banned, its 90 day unbanning has been constantly extended nonstop. You know whats gonna happen to these tariff pauses? The same thing until they can quietly say the pauses are now permanent

is spy or unh going to pick a fricking direction or what

That's great unless your big capex investment takes longer than 90 days to complete.

ya ok but we have at least one more cycle of tariff hysteria before the whole episode get memory holed and tds npcs forget that the word tariff even exists whether they stick or not

There was just a shakeout in SPY. I expect it to head to 594 today

Even the dumps are slowmotion

Yeah it's really slow today.

Its a crab summer

But also blame the Democrats

I sold a 10 dollar call on ACHR two weeks ago and it's making me extremely irate
cant believe i gambled on jetson cars and didn't even get rich

So when do we retract? End of June? I've made a lot on calls but line can't go up forever

What a joke of a government. Sounds like companies should be starting up new DEI initiatives to gain leverage with regulators.

6/9 is the top
double top even
make note of this foretelling

We probably see a small-ish dip next week that then bounces back to ATH, and then yeah late June is when things will start to get real rocky. That's when the price increase from tariffs will start creating meaningful changes in consumer spending and when sales numbers start becoming very bad.

I use frontier as my isp

NOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK OFF VERIZON YOU FUCKING SHITTERS

gamble

lose money

Let me call my lawyer

Verizon's not so bad, lucky it didn't get acquired by Comcast.

6 on Monday? Or what

I can't even doubt that. Markets are so consolidated at the top that it's pretty much reliant on making multimillionaires and billionaires mald and seethe through the floorboards.

anything worth trading this friday afternoon? or should i just enjoy the rest of my day? should i load up on SPY calls for monday or puts? should i just wait until monday or what?

Not a trade, but consider buying SNOW today/Monday and selling right before earnings.

end of day dump to wipe out the options

You misspelled pump

sounds like a terrible idea.

Ive said this a dozen times in these threads now
THERE IS NO RESISTANCE UNTIL 610

Could have gotten a little more but I’m gonna go for a walk

Why?

Well excuse me, I thought you wanted to make money today boss.

technicals is just stock astrology

Pretty much. People think we're above foolish superstitions but we replace them with something else every single time.

I will desecrate the graves of Warren Buffet's parents if this doesn't come crumbling down after-hours or, at the very least, on Monday.

I made two hundred pounds this weekend, and it's going straight to an escort

Why? Uncle Buffet himself said the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Just buy when the President tells you to buy it is very simple.

Just buy when the President tells you to buy it is very simple.

He literally yells out buy and sell signals from the heavens, plus no fewer than five other methods. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to literally be ordered to make money.

Just buy when the President tells you to buy it is very simple.

It’s that easy.
Don’t fight it.

The FT reports that the US and EU have begun trade talks after recently exchanging negotiating documents that touch on tariffs, digital trade and investment.

The report says USTR Greer threatened the EU with reapplying 20% tariffs.

This is going to be a tough one as many European leaders are saying they will not accept a 10% floor or anything along the lines of what the UK agreed to.

There was talk about deals with Japan and South Korea this week but the former appears to have walked away from the table, according to a report today.

The EU trade commisssioner spoke with Greer on Thursday and said he hoped to meet net month in Paris.

Japan has to show theyre not pushovers cause the yen has been in the shitter for a long time

Japs are feeling completely betrayed because they were the ones opening plants in the US before the they got hit with tariffs.

An hour ago
explains the pump

told you that eu will actually be the most difficult one. they will not take the poisoned meat and they will not remove vat which is a core component of the funding for the socialism system and usa also has things it wont do no matter how much the eu wants

Honestly they have every right to be, japanese automotive is massive in the us

and then it goes back down

The VAT argument is so fucking stupid. That's like telling the US to remove sales tax, but only for european products.

They should invent a gun that doesn't whisper things to you at night.

I sold Nividia today at 135 during my lunch break because I didn't want to hold over the weekend.I was annoyed I sold too early when I saw it climbing into 136 but now it is averaging 135 again. Now to see what Trump says on his monday thing
Now to see what Trump says

This Week: -1.16%
This Month: -0.96%
This Year: -44.04%

bleh

I know shit is gonna DUMP on monday and I'll regret not going in to vix. such is life

32% today

Good
Got rid of some shit i was unsure of for nominal gains. More into tax efficient covered call ETFs and just going to ride the market waves from here on

that's like 150/hr if you think about it

I had a fucking great day today. I'm definitely psyched on trying this strategy for real. Made a total of 9 trades though the first 3 were all the same event I was just premature on it but at least didn't lose anything. The one miss would have been a hit but I got shaken out and didn't stick with it. Actually, consistently I was getting out a little too early, the last trade in particular could've been much better but I didn't hold long enough.

If I'd been swinging actual money on this and compounding my winnings today would've been +53% on that pile. I'm not putting more than 5% of my account into this at a time even if works, but if I had then today would've been a $715 day just from options scalping. Annualized that's $180k right there...

I'm excited. I'm gonna come back Monday and trade 2 shares a trade, and just keep doing that until I'm at my 5% limit. If I can consistently score these trades then this is one hell of a strategy.

-6% - raped by theta gang
Trump said we'll be going higher though, so I'll trust the plan

+0.58%
Have very little faith in this rally. I'm going to dump all my stocks and go into treasuries if I hit my ATH.

1,71 % this day, mostly thanks to HIMS, SMCI and TSLA

3,49 % this week

apparently 2.2%

All that matters is SOXL ended red.

My short puts stayed OTM all week, so I'm happy.

+1% today, 4% over the week. cant complain. thats 2 months of salary while doing nothing.

Morgan hurtin for a squirtin

Hey OP your anime girl might as well be a muslim by the amount of clothes she's wearing

I honestly wouldn't mind a couple red days at this point. My boring ass portfolio of bluechip boomer stocks is supposed to gain 10% a year and I feel oddly uneasy seeing it gain 28% in a single month. Stocks as an asset class are fucking broken ever since covid.

+6.3% this week,
lets not talk about today
or yesterday
or the day before
i was up 15.2% wednesday premarket and i retarded it all away
fucking hate my life

That's just how Biden's market works.

How did it go today?!?!

Mega-crabbing, I could use the line to plane wood. I think I shouldn't be so risk averse with only blue-chips.

How did it go this week!?!?

I'm going to be patient with SOXL and just dump money in there.

people are weird. even when things are great they have to have some excuse to whine

All on debt has to be paid eventually. I thought that we would be the ones on the hook, but maybe we are going to kick the can down the road to our children.

They have been broken since 2008 and that is because the devaluation of the dollar.

I'm up 14% this week but it doesn't feel right. I'm spooked.

do we think CRWV is gonna drop or go up on monday? trying to figure out if i should sell or not

Funny thing is that the dollar has been stable relative to other currencies because we've been exporting our inflation to the responsible countries that practiced austerity.

That's because this isn't a natural recovery. A spike up means that a spike down is still on the table.

USD is a very addictive substance to foreign nations.

Today: 2.74%

Week: 43.95%

Month: 141.97%

Year: 71.13%

I'm holding all positions. Bullish momentum. Will start being more cautious around mid-June.

1d: +1.32
1m: +26.96
1y: +65.8
Good month.

This shit is my retirement plan and I don't like it acting like a shitcoin

This "miracle recovery" very likely has convinced the normies that there is literally no, zero(0), nil, nada reason to sell stocks ever again. Under no circumstances, ever ever ever.
Wouldn't be surprised if there were zerohedge tier headlines like

retail has never been more leveraged long in their portfolios

in some time.

why even bother when no gains will be enough for that experience

I have been thinking this myself. Every red candle is like, "Why are we pretending it's gonna go down?" It feels laughable. Like why are we going through this song and dance of having a red candle? It's absurd, like children playing pretend. It also makes me wonder who the fuck sold after "liberation day." How did stocks ever go down for even a couple weeks? Who was dumb enough to sell? Wall Street is supposed to be smart money so surely it wasn't them, yet they're the only ones who can move the market supposedly.

there was a spike down nigga, this is the recovery. just like the covid crash

those chicks are low tier. i used to get them all the time when i was a high school drop out.

aim higher. spend a decade investing in skills, trading should always be a hobby.

Um guys spy is dumping for what reason?

Except there was no justifiable reason for the covid recovery, just like there is no conceivable reason the S&P 500 should be above its April 2 level right now. If it recovered to 5400 I'd say that makes sense. 5600 I'd say that's a little optimistic but fine. Yet we're now 5% above that.

wtfwt?!

Problem is that the tariff floor is still going to record levels while the stock market is about to hit ATH.

down 0.17% today. i don't even want to look at how much i'm down for the week. all i know is if the market continues this until june when the 90 day pause expires, i'll start dipping my toes into 0dte calls and just hold them every morning. i might have to look for a job soon

+$480 today and about $300 realized. Great week need NVDA to pump thru earnings in

2 more weeks

Spy is still dumping at a 80 degree angle...

Very sematic aftermarket

US debt got downgraded.

Overbought at 80 it’ll go back to 60 it’s a swing traders stock anon get in and get out

oof should have sold

having that sentiment indicates you should buy.

I'm now worried about my call. I sold a TQQQ call for $71 ending today that closed barely in the money. I wanted to let it sell me out before the dump on Monday but I guess I didn't need to wait til Monday...

Hope the system still automatically sells my TQQQ for $71.

Bullish for stocks because people will dump treasuries.

Another Monday gap down that will very likely get fully retraced by EOW.
If there is going to be a gap down at all...

fat fingered a trade after hours but it's still going up

Ok.jpg

every day is red for me because im a bagholder.

Because we fucking can and I don't want to hear any shit about no recession.

Lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over...

have been getting in and out but got too in. was doing work when the last pump happened, but gonna sell and just take the 20 dollars im gonna lose instead of waiting to lose 100 more

even if it goes up a ton on monday not going through the weekend worrying about crwv will just help me so thanks for reminding me lmaoo

bankers seething when their predicted crash just doesn't want to come

We can't keep kicking this can down the road.
I think at some point we have to stop doing tax cuts, plus we do have to cut some services in some cases. Regardless, we can't keep spending like we're going to die tomorrow.

how
everything is going up

US debt at an AAA rating

the debt does have a triple A
its the credit thats bad not the debt

Good, hopefully America turns into junk status soon

love how dramatized these graphs always are and then you notice it didn't even move a dollar

Going to have to start cutting the really popular things like defense, medicare and social security. They're basically going to turn social security from a safety net into a stealth tax for the poor.

This is fucking horrendous for bond yields isnt it

There is so much still that can be cut before that happens

going to turn social security from a safety net into a stealth tax for the poor.

It's literally always been that since from the start. You will never get back from social security anywhere near to the amount you paid into it. People are literally better off saving for retirements themselves.

Yes.

oh absolutely

They're already cutting medicaid and have shuttered entire departments. The remaining cuts are all going to be in popular programs.

Panickians lost, why didn't you listen? ATH soon

exactly
social security is a literal ponzi scheme

Damn how do you keep losing money when the market literally cannot go down

thing is they have to be done
the other option is an accelerationist hyperinflationary collapse

I'm retarded but does this actually make bond yields go up because the US is seen as less likely to repay its debts or go down because people are dumping bonds.

they're constantly betting on the doomsday scenario that never comes
in 2022 it was the banks
in 2023-24 it was the AI bubble
in 2025 it's tariffs

we're gonna hit RSI 80 for the first time since july 2024

former largest european company

now down 50%

fat loss market conquered by the americans (eli lilly)

why does this keep happening?
it's honestly depressing

i mean with a credit rating cut, the reason people are dumping bonds is because the US is seen as elss likely to repay its debts, so the former via the latter

euro commies keep getting outdone by americhads

i'm gambling

This is what I find stupid about hardcore Bobo thesis, if the whole thing crashes to make as much money as they would hope it would fuck things up for themselves as well. On top of that, the markets have clearly changed and what's considered a recession has changed as well because of what the previous admnistration has done too.

nothing some new regulation and a tax hike wont solve

UNH bros?
Not like this

but seriously how did this happen?
novo nordisk is down 50 fucking percent while eli lilly is flat in the same period while eli lilly's zepbound conquered the fat loss market previously monopolised by ozempic.

this keeps happening american companies either outperform or straight up buy european companies if they get too big

Imagine how much the market would moon if social security was basically eliminated, and all the taxes people normally contributed flowed into equities.

lily also makes a million other things so their whole value doesn't rely on that one thing

The mainstream news media would cry bloody murder over social security being cut despite it being the best thing for the economy and people's savings...

It seriously pisses me off when I hear brainwashed normies argue for social security...

investing in leveraged ETFs feels so boring. Moving up 1 or 5% doesnt do it for me anymore. I want to move up at least 20% per week. I feel like I cant live without 0DTE options because that's the only way I'll ever make money, if I do it right, keep my loses controlled and have more wins than loses

people only learn when things collapse
that's why cutting spending is a losing battle in a democracy

1% is just like 5% if you put five times the money :)

well i'm getting fucked on monday

Thanks for playing

SPY -0.75% and extended hours not even over yet. Is Monday limit down?

NVDA has to go up. I got 21 shares of it in the past couple weeks.

Saudi ordered chips and China is back in the game.

Only problem is the whole "no exporting advanced chips" to china. Doesn't seem that bad IMO

I’m something of a slurper myself

Is Monday limit down?

No but this rally is overdue for some profit taking at minimum.

So what did America get rated down to? BBC?

no i bought a call

AA+

AA1. I should note that places like the UK have AA3. Germany is still AAA though.

we'll go to ATH before any serious dip happens

obviously
the risk on play is back as if nothing ever happened

Germany effectively owns a de fact empire where it exports its debt and deficits to the southern perifery.
The EU should be evaluated as a whole

Germany really lucked out with the EU, it gets to do to it what the US did to the world.

Moody's downgraded America

man ((they)) are really mad about this middle east trip huh

exactly
it's a pretty insanely great deal for germans regardless of how much they complain

My account is small so it will never get anywhere from +3% or +5% like leveraged ETFs do. Not without 1 or 2 0DTE boosts per week at least

So you'll be making money, the rating down is a nothing burger, US was rated down years ago and nothing happened

not very well versed, found out about smci. ive read its an extremely shady company. is it not fit for any long term investments?

yeah but the call expires monday

not really
your deficit and debt are just insane and unsustainable

30% of revenue going towards national debt by 2035 is sustainable

No president is going to risk their public image by tackling the huge debt ceiling and this will cause yields on bonds to go higher

I mean yeah but for the first time we're raising revenue through tariffs and government expenditures just went down because so many government employees were fired

seems weird to downgrade now
also having a lower credit rating than China and Canada is genuinely fucking hilarious

Last time this happened in 2023 it gapped down like 1%, then totally erased it within a couple days. I’ve been expecting this since last summer. Surprised it took this long.

ngl, amerikaner here. this is one of the biggest blow to my self esteem
fuck
no more making fun of germans i guess

raising revenue through tariffs

Retard

Nope just look at the graph.
simply buy when its 30 and sell when above 40

no tariffs will just slow the economy and hurt the consumer unlike taxes that... oh
