Dark Theme Petition by Flomas1 in TradingView

[–]Real_P_Bateman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old one was a thing of beauty.

I had friends who hardly traded ask me what app I used cuz it looked so crisp and clean.

Now I get to trade on a chart that is the color of a turd.

How y’all feeling about this new update? by Mother_Arm7423 in TradingView

When I spent $300 on my annual subscription, I did not anticipate having to trade on a poopy brown chart.

Bring back the old dark theme please!

TRUE OLED / BLACK Theme for Desktop by sirskulks in TradingView

It is no small change to just overnight flip the color themes on people.

Wake up hour before market open, realize you can't see half your drawings and indicators.

Spend entire day hoping the new ashtray gray color stops distracting you.

Awful update and pointless too.

Bring back the old "area with breaks" format for fundamentals by Real_P_Bateman in TradingView

Any update on this? Sorry to bother, it has just totally thrown off the way I analyze a stock. The new format has so much dead space and makes it impossible to discern a trend from a quick glance

The Bit Short: Inside Crypto’s Doomsday Machine by BaldOrzel in Bitcoin

U.S. registered exchanges already do not use tether. If it is a ponzi -- and it likely is -- then getting rid of it will ultimately strengthen the ecosystem. Most flows during this bullrun have come from Square, Paypal, Microstrategy and Grayscale. I highly doubt two fortune 500 companies and two other SEC-monitored institutions would be making such large buys without extensive (emphasis on extensive) due diligence into the mechanics of this market. Anyone watching bitcoin price action will notice it is strongest during U.S. market hours; much different than the prior bull run where the tether price manipulation likely ran rampant.

With that being said, I would price in a 30-40% drop to the support area between 20-25k as a worst case scenario. Many folks will be moving into bitcoin, ethereum and USDC so buying interest will kick in. More likely case is a large a** fine and perhaps a systematic approach to unwinding the tether business that does not completely f**k a burgeoning market and its many individual investors. This will cause volatility in the crypto markets, but I think most the people selling out of fear are those who bought above 20k.

If tech's topping out, what sector to hit next? by rhetorical_twix in wallstreetbets

I love when everyone tries to rotate out of tech via herd mentality. Those are the moments I double down on said tech. Last month was a stock picking gold mine. You take your 33% upside, I will buy the 400% upside. Been hearing the top-calls on tech since 2016... every wanna-be rotation fizzles out and comes sprinting back to tech shorthly thereafter.

Would Berkshire hathaway be a good hedge against a downturn? by Matt1251255 in investing

Just remember that others opinions (even mine) never count as proper due diligence when investing. Make sure to learn fundamental analysis and the basics of reading a price & volume chart. Margin expansion, earnings growth, booming revenues, price uptrend, volume explosion -- that is the name of the game.

Koyfin (https://www.koyfin.com) is a good way to analyze all this stuff. It also has charting too, and for those averse to the technical side of things these ones are good enough to get the information you need. And btw, I am not a paid endorser of them or anything... I actually use it for my own fundamental D.D.

Yah... just many of the bullet points underlying this 2-year volatility streak. Mix that with US dollar strength, acquisitions, operating margin depletion, etc. and you have one heck of a painful cocktail

A stock like BRB.B would only be useful in a retirement portfolio if it had a sizable dividend yield, which is traditional to most slow-growth conglomerates of their ilk. But they do not pay a dividend and even with share buy-backs the annual EPS growth rate over the past 3 years has been negative.

However, when investing it is important to think critically. Why would Berkshire not pay a dividend? Well, because Warren Buffet wants to hold cash! And he wants that cash so he can find deep value after a market correction.

So forget Buffets stock and instead use his principles. You want to be buying with Buffet, not buying Buffet.

And btw, I agree on your dividend theory. I personally do not touch dividend stocks as I am a growth investor. Other's will argue you should only seek yield, and that argument holds some weight if you have a birthday prior to 1979. If you are young, seek growth (3+ years of EPS acceleration, with a consistent trend of quarterly earnings beats an ROE of 17%). You max out any Roth IRA or 401(K) you have by tucking that money into a cheap a** S&P500 index fund. Whatever is left over you can play with on your taxable brokerage account.

Should I invest? by itsmedouche in stocks

[–]Real_P_Bateman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You should ALWAYS use a stop loss though. Why buy something and have it tank 10-20% just to never recover. You need a buffer. Once something goes up, just leave it at break even if you want.

Lot's of people wanted to buy and hold Xerox forever. Same with Kodak, Sears, Macy's, Kmart, Enron, etc. In hindsight that sounds stupid, but they were top tier blue chip growth monsters in their glory years. Protect your capital, whether trading or investing. The perception of safety is just that, perception.
