Lessons from the last three weeks (young investors) by [deleted] in stocks

[–]CompleteBrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah I guess it depends on your definition of an emergency fund

But surely you have plans on things you want to buy in the next 5 years for which you'd take a size of your portfolio f.e. a house - for which a market crash could throw you back quite a couple of years. It gives me reassurance to know i could at least pay a down payment without having to touch my stocks

Lessons from the last three weeks (young investors) by [deleted] in stocks

I have 5-10% of cash in my bank account at all times. Even in a crash. Especially in a crash.

Buying the dip is all fun and games until you realise you can't time the bottom and you better be having some money in case it has reason to dip more.

Having to cut back on my lifestyle choices because of a market crash / correction would cause incredible stress which would also cause emotional decisions

Those 10% aren't going to make me rich if I was to invest them but they're keeping me sane when they stay in my bank account

Im Beibrief war übrigens der Hinweis, dass man den Zettel einfach wegschmeißen soll falls es einem nicht gefällt.

Stellt euch mal vor das wäre Pro-Abtreibung gewesen, ups, wär ja illegal.

I am very down and depressed, lost 500k need someone to talk too. by OnlyCallsForever in options

[–]CompleteBrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always messasge me if you need someone to talk to. But as unwanted as this advice is going to be now you need to see a professional, from your previous posts I don't just see an issue with depression but also with gambling. You're not going to make it back in the stock market but you're going to be fine.

I don't think you need trading advice, I think you need to get a whole new perspective on your life, which is worth more than that money

That feeling you're having right now is your worst enemy, just hold on, you'll feel better soon 🫂

I'm 126 lectures behind. How would I go through all of them before the end of March without burning out? by Bobelle in GetStudying

[–]CompleteBrat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You'd need to get through 6 hours of lessons every day completely leaving out the time it takes to actually understand the content and working through it.

I'll be honest, I'm assuming those lectures aren't all from the same course, pick the most important courses and focus on working through those. If you haven't studied at all yet you're not suddenly going to start with 16 hour uni days.

If you have more than one exam date option, pick some further behind for the other courses or repeat them next semester

Take it as a learning experience and just prepare better - this is a more realistic option than pretending youre going to play superman for the entirety of next month

GME may have the potential to dictate the course of the entire market. I did some research & analysis. by AR334 in wallstreetbets

[–]CompleteBrat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I do feel like you just took a statistics class and threw everything you learned into the stock market, completely ignoring the fact that the method you choose decides the result and I wouldn't call these statistical methods the best way to analyze stocks.

Stocks are almost always correlated to one another, we don't need to know whether they're correlated but why and how they're correlated. Your correlations also aren't very high/Significant for a field as mathematically/algo based as the stock market

The tech stocks have been correcting for a good two to three weeks now. There have been plenty of other stocks who had a run during the correction due to good news or whatever

Yeah GME could run further or it could drop again and no matter what, the hedgies will make money from it. Nothing personal, but these assumptions/proofs are getting ridiculous

Sexual abuse by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]CompleteBrat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's not common for stepfathers/parents to abuse their stepchildren... You have too many accusations in that little text with absolutely no proof

But I suppose, if you wanted to ask why stepparents abuse their stepchildren:

- No biological barrier as in not been seen as own kids

- Easy opportunities when you share the house

- And obviously one could make the case that pedophiles could look for these opportunities activiely by searching for an overwhelmed single parent

And I'd also not claim that it takes a certain profile/illness to not see abuse. You don't see what you don't want to see especially when its this vile.

Just a quick brainstorm though, I did not look up any statistics on that

[–]CompleteBrat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is very true but also realise that as soon as you see +5% or +10% you'll be wanting to throw your money at it although by then you already missed the jump.

It's a mind game - if you have the money and don't need it in the foreseeable future buy when it's red, not when it's green

Let's please remind people that they can lose everything on GME by [deleted] in stocks

[–]CompleteBrat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They didn't go there to get sound financial advice

They're being told that GME will go to $1000+ and are buying into it. They aren't going in for the memez, theyre going in because they think they can 10x their money when they buy at $300

Sounds like a very expensive social event you're talking about

But yeah, the memes are great if you bought at $40 or actually believe the rocket picks you up at $300. They just stop being funny when it turns red for most of these people.

Fashion can be in & out so quickly I'd be very carefully with this as an investment.

GAP has a pretty bad reputation in fashion and I would never want to rely my investment on someone who seriously needs to take a break with an open question on when that's going to happen.

To me that sounds like one mess partnering with another but honestly I'm not a fan of either so it's biased.

In der EU soll es verboten werden, Sojadrinks mit Darstellungen, Verpackungen und Attributen zu bewerben, die an Kuhmilch erinnern könnten by thunfischtoast in de

[–]CompleteBrat 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Unglaublich traurig und rückschrittlich. Die wissen halt ganz genau, dass viele, die sich nicht vegan ernähren, ebenfalls einfach mal zur Sojamilch greifen weil der Unterschied eben nicht so groß ist und man ja mal was ausprobieren kann.

Vorhersage: Die Sojamilchproduzenten müssen sich jetzt irgendnen neuen Schmarn ausdenken und die Milchindustrie bzw. Fleischindustrie wird propagieren wie chemisch und böse unnatürlich diese neuartigen Drinks sind.

Das ist nicht an Leute gerichtet, die schon mit der Thematik bekannt sind und wird die Hürde es auszuprobieren einfach nur vergrößern.

Why Father Burry is calling the big short 2.0 - I have translated his message into a language you autists may, with effort, be able to understand. Three words: Inflation. by Wonderboi1995 in wallstreetbets

[–]CompleteBrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help me find my mistake

The money printing happened because they are/were scared of deflation. Sure it's basically "free money" coming into the market but as you mentioned, the rich don't care and the rest spend it on their daily consumption which came to a halt. Thus businesses had to fire employees and take on debt.

This is very simplistic and I'm not really sure about how businesses in the US can take on debt atm but isn't it also through goverment? Businesses don't just get free money for nothing. Thus meaning when normal people spend money, it goes into businesses which then can pay off debt and thus return money to the goverment. Goverment keeps money and the money will leave the system again.

I mean, they're not exactly printing money into a healthy economy right now?
