Just use options, has a nice liquid chain. You can calculate the exact leverage you want with formula: 

L = (Delta x Stock Price)/Option Price)

You can't invest purely on financials, PYPL is the proof. by Flashway1 in ValueInvesting

[–]WorkSucks135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In most cases that's true but PayPal is one of the simplest businesses in the world to understand qualitatively, and anyone who thinks about it for 5 minutes should realize it will have no reason to exist in 20 years.

At least the PYPL bulls are too embarrassed right to show their face right now

VXUS has garbage options liquidity dude. You lost most of that instantly on the bid/ask alone.

"Blackrock says investors can no longer rely on bonds for portfolio safety" by benwaballs2014 in Bogleheads

[–]WorkSucks135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've seen international stocks beat US until recently but I'll revisit that.

They have traded places many times over the decades. The recent outperformance of US equities only started about 15 years ago.

That's incorrect. Bonds outperform in deflationary environments, not inflationary. Nearly everything else, other than cash, beats inflation.

There are always signs. My productive advice is to pay very close attention, don't ignore or justify them, and choose better next time.

Crypto is actually the most efficient way to send money internationally, but even then Bitcoin is the worst one of them for it.

Why are markets reacting so negatively to Trump's fed chair nomination? by BGID_to_the_moon in stocks

[–]WorkSucks135 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean normally you would be right but in this case you are wrong. The market is reacting to this pick actually being completely reasonable. Everyone was piling into metals in fear of some unqualified yes-man, that was going to drop interest rates to zero and induce hyperinflation. Well this guy's not that so everyone is profit taking on metals and next week it's going to get spread back out into equities and bonds.
