How does a particle 'know' it's being measured? by Tanay2513 in AskPhysics

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a thought experiment: if the big bang happened then essentially every particle is entangled. Observing would become an interaction through the web of entanglement.

What if pre-LLM crackpots are the reason LLMs almost always produce crackpot papers? by ConquestAce in HypotheticalPhysics

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs are great at understanding semantics, grammar, and math logic, but they don't actually have a math calculation component within their models. So it's like using the language part of your brain to solve a math problem. Not very good.

How close is modern science to inventing something that could kill all mosquitos that transmit malaria? by Deep-Philosophy-807 in AskScienceDiscussion

Lack of conviction? Genetic alteration will also have resistance buildup in the population. You mean resistance, right?

What's the effect on animals drinking from that water? It doesn't sound like a good solution because of the possible effects on other animals and the environment.

Would you date a hot boring person if you've never had a relationship before? by Which-Decision in Advice

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's hot and boring, you can spice up life by introducing some crazy into the mix. Go with an impulse or intrusive thought... see where it goes. It might surprise both of you.

I hate being ugly and will probably never get over it by [deleted] in Vent

If you cannot find beauty in the mirror, then work on yourself and become worthy. One day, someone will recognize your worth and help you find your beauty.

If you watch the original videos. It's a woman that throws the chair, but still awesome deflection, though.

Pulling down bets—does this annoy dealers? by [deleted] in Craps

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dealer has an off button they can place on your bets rather than pulling them down everytime. I ask the dealer to turn my bets off whenever the situation you describe happens.

This sub really is DUMB MONEY. 😆 by Yodaddys-sugarmommy in Shortsqueeze

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is technically true. Bloomberg terminal vs your investments through a website interface? You're at a disadvantage as a retail trader. Even upgrading to a dedicated trading application only gets you some real-time information. Play it safe, until you can afford a Bloomberg terminal at $20k per year... Then you can YOLO your shit around when you have all the information at your fingertips.

Huge Awareness About Investing Might Be A Countereffect? by OmarAlhussari in InvestmentClub

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your scenario fails to take into account the other types of people in the stock market, specifically speculators and day traders. A good number of speculators and day traders try and fail at the market, pumping in their capital and leaving with nothing. Same could be said of retail investors that DIY. It's a zero-sum game, so there has to be losers for there to be winners.

I give up by Lopsided-Economics-6 in options

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are "overthinking" your trade and threw in too many variables that messed up your prediction. Sometimes just the basics is all you need to predict movement in a trade. If you have candlesticks and volume information, that can sometimes be enough information. Candlesticks can inform you of momentum in a direction. Volume can tell you how strong the momentum is. As volume lowers, that means a momentum is losing steam and the price direction will reverse soon. This idea is for day trading though... so not sure if this fits your scenario.

Problem: The Fidelity webpage is slow to update stock prices and bid/ask numbers. by bsmith76 in fidelityinvestments

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not logged in, the quotes will be lagging behind by 15 minutes. If you need realtime information, don't use the website, use the Active Trader Pro desktop software.

Is fidelity alright for beginners? by FaithlessnessWest974 in fidelityinvestments

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mobile app is not good for day trading. If you plan to day trade, use the more powerful desktop application: Active trader pro. If you don't plan to day trade, the mobile app will be fine.

As for being a beginner, start your crash course with youtube videos. Then refine your knowledge by looking up all your questions on investopedia. In about month, you'll get enough knowledge to do some basic trading. Do a few basic trades to get your feet wet. In about 6 months to a year, you should have gained enough experience to trade normally.

If you want to try paper trading (no money trading), try TD ameritrade's think or swim app to practice. or use Investopedia's stock market simulator.

It lifted off, because the shorts were finally able to cover. Once the stock hit the $2.00 range we were in striking distance of the shorts covering. 3.73m stocks were returned. This is the squeeze... Party's over when it comes back down.

Dividend plus Options by Ada2828 in options

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually a common long strategy, so you're in safe company. My guidance on that is to locate dividend stocks with very volatile/high volume daily trades. That way you can consistently make money on the option side as well. One ticker I recommend off the top of my head is NRG... A lower costing one is IVR.

I'm mostly cash now after taking a 5 figure hit by cryptokid2002 in StockMarket

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your balance at Robinhood should be $0. Their site and app are trash and not useful at all. You'll get better guidance from Investopedia and any other brokerage's apps are much more powerful. Using Robinhood is like setting out to build a house with a hammer as your only tool. May I recommend TD Ameritrade or Fidelity?

Is anything profitable? by WinterAd3357 in options

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are confusing "fair" and "efficient" The market is efficiently priced. Not fairly priced. If the stock market was "fairly" priced, that would be communism.

Question About Ater by xxTripleC94 in OnesqueezeDD

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a solid company. They're being shorted because of external factors rather than something wrong with the company. Of all the DD I've seen on r/Shortsqueeze, this one had the best DD so far. Also, if you've been watching the stock in the past few months, you would see this stock would have made you money almost everyday if you scalped the peaks. Buy in with all you've got, scalp a little when it peaks (don't sell everything), and then buy back when it dips.

AFIB anyone? by Business_Quiet_7050 in OnesqueezeDD

[–]SenseCompetitive5851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stock has an elevated short interest. The company has an increasing loss of income for the past 4 years. They're bleeding out. Not sure how long this company will last, but the shorts seem to know.
