    It's fascinating that the crackdown on private tutoring started a tsunami of Chinese stock sell-offs in the US and Asia.

    • does it also make you feel better hopping on that bandwagon? Do you not understand shorting so you equate it as more exploitive than normal trading?monospaced
    • because it's not, and you should know that if you had experience in itmonospaced
    • Was ‘excuse me’ an actual question?Gnash
    • It is more exploitive that “normal” trading - and most ‘normal’ trading is explicitly exploitive, as wellGnash
    • it was more like "please explain" y'know?monospaced
    • well, if you view all trading as exploitive, then of course you view shorting like that, but that isn't really fair :/monospaced
    • serious question, do you not invest at all because of your moral stance on it, in general? or do you draw the line at shorting?monospaced
  • sted3

    Difference between these entities(hedgies and retails) is that one is disciplined acts in a goal-oriented manner, while the other needs to be pointed into a direction and constantly reminded of what to do and why. This is not sustainable in the long run.

    • Yeah hedges really need to set goals and be more disciplined.shapesalad

    Holy shit. GME goes from $11’ish in October to $350’ish now. What a squeeze. Another stock that shows how these price surges make no sense. But surely there will be tears soon?

    • Hedge funds who short or bet against companies in a eternal bull market deserve to lose everything and go bust.NBQ00
    • Hedgefunds who act as market makers and essentially counterfeit stock by going naked short to 140% of available float deserve everything that's coming to them.monNom
    • Well the price surge does make sense. Michael Burry bought in at end of last year, this caused plenty of robin hood reddit geeks to buy in.shapesalad
    • This accelerated as the story spread, and redditors hyped it further knowing hedge funds taking the short side were being squeezed.shapesalad
  • sarahfailin1

    I'm dying being a bear in this bull market. Look at our current position compared to the dot-com crash of 2001. Weekly MACD (the bottom part of this chart) is at 750 (in 2001 it was at about 500). Eventually MACD always crosses back over the 0.00 line to go negative. What goes up must come down, and it will happen with tremendous force.

    • Question is, what sector(s) will take it down? Will it be in tech again? Hard to say because their values seem more justified than they were in the dot com bubbmonospaced
    • The new US government is going to add more money to the market, there's no crash in sight IMHO.zarkonite
    • What I see on this chart: even if I bought at the peak right before that first crash, I would still have more today.nb

    I just started "playing" on the stock market last October, it was about time you'll say, yeah.. i just found an easy platform to do it and I jumped in. I was ''struggling'' to find ideas to make some side money... well now i understand that stock market is probably the easiest way to make some extra cash. I daytrade, and it works well, all small amount but i just create money out of nowhere and learn at the same time.

    • If you’re using it for extra cash you’re doing it wrong. The stock market is there so your great grandchildren die rich. Think long term.monospaced
    • You can play in short at any time, but keep the real money in investments. I have 30% for daytrading and bagholding,sted
    • the rest is invested in etfs and a few hand picked and well researched stocks for 2-3 years min.sted
    • And i'm fucking happy because my price prediction for tesla just kicked in and my option calls just blew up ehehested

    • @mono what you call "day trading" is an interesting definition catered by those who are required to present a certain trading number at the end of the month.sted
    • mostly in the 90s.sted
    • @sted, no it's not. I actually know day traders. They laugh at the plebs who like to think they are because they buy and sell a few pennies each day.monospaced

    Meme stocks should be the canaries in the coal mine of this market. When those puppies are finally dead, then you'll know this market has come back to regular prices.

    Although the tech stocks have fallen quite a lot, they have a ways to go before their price to earnings is close to market average. Market **average** historically is around 16x price to earnings. Tesla is still about 150x, Nvidia is 60x, Amazon 78x, Apple 28x, and Nasdaq as a whole 25x.

    About 16x is the PE *average* so half the time, it's actually less than that. Even if we only return to that average and don't go below it, Nasdaq needs to lose a little less than *half* its value (target would be ~7300).

    In the dot-com crash of 2001, Nasdaq lost 90% of its value from the all time high. That was a mild recession.

    POINT BEING, it's not crazy to think that this can and will happen, and calling the bottom of IXIC's decline at 9000 is pretty bullish, in my bearish opinion.

    • there are a lot less companies around, something around 3K for all these indexes, mostly high growth

      when the growth can't be sustained, the markets crash

    Nickel stopped trading today after the value peaked 300% of where it closed December 2021. Ukraine and Russia are major suppliers, and it's critically important for the manufacturing of electric vehicles and batteries.
