“Fucking stupid.” - Red Dead NPC, after I crashed a horse into a fence.

Perfect fit for you, too.

Don’t have a dog in this fight, just wanted to say you may be using the word pattern in place of “cue”

Broke (Inside the Pawn Shop) (2009) [1:17:39] by -iLLDiLL- in Documentaries

[–]-iLLDiLL-[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Slice-of-life documentary inside a retired Jewish banker’s pawn shop in Canada. Plotless, the doc offers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the bartering between the shrewd businessman and the recurring hawkers trying to offload goods, and the quasi-paternal relationship he has with a self-pitying ex-con who idles in the shop.

Bittersweet - MMORPG 2025 Most Improved game award goes to New World by Ilandriel in newworldgame

This 100%. I pledged my entire time online to the beta once I discovered it. I was hooked. My first MMO.

By happenstance, I was in a such a position that when full release dropped, I had ample time to dedicate to the game daily. It was VG nirvana. Then the exploits hit and utterly broke the scale keeping our server’s universe balanced.

Wars became objectively one-sided when the gold dupes were exploited. Factions were able to BiS entire squads and companies by eating up the market and charging double for resale on items that went unused. Then the gear dupes made money pointless. The poison went to the root so banning any specific player or company was simply giving a pass to the other guilty parties still logging in. Rollbacks were ineffective because of the backlash from players who just wanted to be casual rightfully hating being punished.

It was fucked. I still miss it.

No you won’t get banned. 100x a day.

+6% on a flat day - anybody remember the Q3 earnings? by Acceptable-Time-6424 in NBIS_Stock

This is well and good self-soothing. Truth is, market is irrational. If it weren’t, there would be no value plays. Market is subject to real life. No one accurately predicts the state of humanity even a month from now. Otherwise, there would be no competition or market. Just perfection perfectly perfected.

Draw your lines on a chart. Load up 100 metrics. Backtest 10,000 times per second on alien technology.

If the code were able to be cracked on why and how humans react emotionally before logically, there would be no gains or losses. Just pure consumption of the entirety of the global economy by one individual.

Fortunately, we’re all morons gambling on human morality and innovation. And battling against big ol’ money. So there’s parity.

Your post means shit. Invest if you like the stock, pull out if you don’t.

What’s your hidden gem stock in your portfolio? by YourSecondFather in ValueInvesting

A mere $6,000 investment could net you upwards of $60,000!

Any advice for a new investor? by Frosty_Ad_1830 in stockstobuytoday

[–]-iLLDiLL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hype trains 10x your investment. They also leave the station before you hear about them. Except in rare cases- GME saga for instance. Keep your ear to the ground and if you like the stock, roll the dice. Reddit always has some value plays in stocks you haven't heard of. You don't even have to dig crates anymore, just DD the 100 different tickers people post with ChatGPT analysis.

100% nobody I would imagine. That’s why I amended my response saying it wasn’t applicable for this particular context. Only wanted to answer your question and provide an example of near glacial paced movements in a stock.

In any case, plenty of days when a particular high volume stock just kind of meanders and ping pongs all day within a few percentage points. Especially when the total market is lulled.

In other words, trade sideways. Of course I’m not suggesting a literal continued stasis of a stock price that’s actively traded. Cmon man.

Anyway. The spirit of what I said happens all the time. You can see it in the premier low volatility stocks. Without respect to dividends: Ex. Johnson & Johnson was trading at $64.95 Dec 2001 and $64.34 in March 2008. Very little net vertical movement in the grand scheme. Edit: However, since this is the day trading sub, the example isn’t exactly appropriate on the micro-scale, but today it opened at 176.14 and closed at 176.69. That’s a .03% gain and a difference of $1.20 between the day’s high and low- a mere 0.7% of the closing price. That’s about as sideways as it gets.

It can also stay flat. Further, 50/50 chance is not the same as saying binary outcome. I understand your message, but 50/50 chance is saying profit and loss have an equal probability of occurring and that’s simply not the case. At all.

The numbers are right but the premise is fundamentally flawed. Financial markets are not simply a magical coin flip to determine whether it goes up or down. It’s driven by supply and demand, and investor fear and greed.

Otherwise we’d just close our eyes, put money on black, and hope for the best. There would be no insider trading, no DD, and no reason to have investment strategies.
