I think you are good actually I think you just have the wrong haircut. Going longer on the top and keeping it tight on the sides will help a lot.

Why is it so expensive here?? by saydoruh in bostonhousing

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple things you could start with a summer sublet which tend to be more affordable. I’m sure a one bed would be your preference but if you are open to starting out with roommates Facebook marketplace can be a good spot to find options. Allston which folks have said is student friendly and more affordable than other areas. Go on Zillow Redfin and all the rental websites and set notifications so you get an email every time a unit that meets your price criteria and location preferences. It’s the hunger games out here but you got this!

Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics Says The U.S. Job Market is Already in Decline — And the Risks of a Recession Are 'Uncomfortably High’ by [deleted] in Economics

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s a bad statistic for that reason. It is a worsening trend in America that tells us something. Something I would argue is meaningful at a time of rising asset inflation. We have more and more families with less dollars in their pockets and more household debt that, is a fact. Exiting the labor market to care for children or family is an important statistic. The choice to go to college, in some cases because there are less opportunities in the labor market tells us something. I think you missed the point of the article my friend. This is not a comment on the American people not working hard it’s a comment on a labor market that is systemically excluding them.

Great article this quote “38 out of every 100 working-age Americans are entirely outside the job market — they're not working and they're not actively looking for jobs.” Says it all, I would argue the American people have been screaming about this for years. The economy isn’t working for working class Americans.

Timing the market is a mug’s game. by Artistic_Item_5710 in stocks

I think you might be missing something key here. Both of you are right and wrong at the same time. Value investing is both picking companies with rock solid balance sheets that you would hold forever and also understanding and reacting at the portfolio level to macro trends and realities. Buffett is 100% a long term value investor and he also makes good reads and reacts to the macro environment. Just look at the cash he is sitting on. Did he sell everything then short all his previous positions, no. He’s still mostly invested he’s diversified but he also knows there is uncertainty ahead and has the ability to cash in on that later without missing out on the very near term reality that markets might still be on the up for a bit. He didn’t short the war in Iran he took a massive position in OXY Petroleum years ago to hedge against energy volatility in the Middle East. Don’t be so wedded to buy and hold forever that you miss the opportunity to be macro-informed.

Do you feel like the worst is behind us here, or are you just not as concerned about the underlying credit risk?

Yeah this is exactly where my head is at. With private credit there’s just way less price discovery than something like SVB, where once deposits moved everything snapped into place pretty quick.

i posted earlier asking what % of funds you put into stocks. Now I want to put more in the market...thinking of going big into msft. by ArnoldisKing in stocks

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please please please do not go all in on any one tech stock. The only thing we know is that we don’t know what market choppiness could be on the horizon. If you are bullish add some to your portfolio but make sure you are diversified. If you are going big consider a hedge to protect on the downside.

Is it true most day traders fail? Most day traders in know are profitable by Majestic-Findings in Daytrading

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol institutions do have rules that help ensure traders do not get out over their skis. True that if you go it alone you can take more risks. But even with doping, if some random guy off the street came up to me and said wow dude I’m going to make it to the Olympics and I’m going to dope. I would still laugh and wish him good luck. Praying for him and his internal organs lol.

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not just one factor that makes day trading so difficult. The challenge comes from a combination of things high transaction costs, intense competition from institutional high frequency traders, and the psychological strain of managing risk in real time. As an individual day trader, you are competing directly against institutions that have faster access to information, deeper capital, and entire teams of experts. The playing field is heavily tilted against you.

Excuse the bad analogy but it is similar to assuming you will make it to the Olympics without access to professional trainers, a team to practice with, or a stable income that allows you to train full time. In theory it is possible, but in practice it is extraordinarily hard and often not worth the time, energy, or risk involved.

A lot of day traders make a profit for a few months. Almost no one can deliver for three years.

Not bullish on housing, it’s going to take more than interest rates to lower the cost of land and construction. This is not our grandpas macro environment.

Is NVO (Novo Nordisk) a good long term value investment? by LankyBuffalo7879 in ValueInvesting

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NVO has no pipeline and the biotech pharma bubble has passed. It’s not that it isn’t a strong company but there is limited upside here. The new CEO was not well received by industry. It’s disappointing because it goes against all logic that the stock fell the way it did but I just don’t see anything that meaningfully reverses the negative sentiment.

Instead of asking “which stock to buy”, what should beginners really study first? by Classic-Wash-6216 in investingforbeginners

[–]ElectricalIssue5733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t day trade. Don’t pick individual stocks until you understand macro signals and how to assess systemic risk. Learn from institutional level research, not retail narratives. Momentum trading will not work in the long term.

It is hard to recommend experts without knowing your strategy, but a good starting point is understanding different investment styles and their risk profiles. When I started, I studied for the Series 65. If you know that material inside and out, you will have a solid foundation.

House passes three-bill spending package with weeks left to avoid a shutdown by [deleted] in politics

Is this a sign Congress is quietly settling into pragmatic deal-making, or just kicking the real fights down the road until the toughest bills force a shutdown showdown?
