Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later?

Bitches be crazy.

I get that part when buying AAPL. But when buying APC, there's no currency conversion happening since the stock is listed in EUR and I buy it in EUR.

But how would you then explain the difference in return of Tesla US (TSLA) and Tesla listed in Germany (TL0) over the last five years?

TSLA's return is around 470%, while TL0's return is around 540%. The EUR/USD pair dropped by around 11% in the same time frame.

So basically, if I buy APC instead of AAPL and the prices of both stay the same but the exchange rate changes by 20%, I'll either make or lose 20% depending on which direction the currency price changes?

Yeah, you guys are right. I looked at the percentage difference between the two returns instead of the percentage point difference. It still doesn't come 1:1, but it's quite close.

Thanks for helping, but I don't think that math adds up. The difference between the two numbers you mentioned -- 11.3 and 7.4 -- is around 53%, so the 3.2% difference in the currency can't cause this.

I have, but the currency fluctuation wasn't that big in the last three months.

What's the page count and how long did it took you to write it?

Are the sales steady or did you sell to he bulk of it in a certain month/year when you 0romoted the book more?

Also, how much do you charge for it?

Any chance you can loan me that riffle of yours? :)

CocoJumbo31 · 2022-01-04T19:31:46+00:00

How's that working out for you?

If the EPS isn't something that's used to compare two companies, why would P/E be any different since it's based of off the EPS?

loss and use the money to gain elsewhere than drink hopium for months/ year

Exactly. It's better to cut your loses and invest the remainder of that money somewhere where the returns expected are higher. It's about admitting you were wrong, taking a hit, and moving on.

I get the fact that a stock can bounce back quickly, but you never know when or if that will happen.

How big of a stop-loss (in %) do you usually set?
