A bitcoin horror story, and one every trader here can related to! Posted: 24 Jan 2018 08:41 AM PST This was a painful read, but almost every trader I know has been through something like this, just not this extreme! I feel bad for the guy, I can imagine there will be hundreds of more stories like this as time goes on and volatility and margin trading in crypto does its job. Here is the story, link to OP is included at the bottom: So, long story short, I started trading a year ago, been margin longing the whole run from 1k to 19k ( sometimes closing the top, sometimes closing too early or too late, but always making profit) I turned 3 lowly btc which I had from playing poker (at the time 3k) into nearly 200 BTC which was almost 4 million at the top and would be 2 million at current prices. I thought I was a trading genius, a god, whatever. Anyway, this is where the sadness starts. After the dump from 19k to 11k I went long at the bottom, and kept adding to my position on the bounce to 12k 13k, 14k. Then, at the 16k dead cat, my position was a further 100 BTC in profit. Instead of closing then and having a total 300 BTC, I increased leverage and increased my position size. This entire position was liquadated on the drop back to 12k, because my entry had moved up so much. I lost 100 btc paper profit and nearly 50 BTC margin. I was devasted, and down to 150 BTC total. After evaluating the situation, I came to the conclusion that the pump to 16k was a dead cat and that we are going lower. Therefore I shorted. At 12k. Added at 13k. Added at 14 and 15k. Got liquidated at the top at 17k. Another 50 BTC loss. Down to 100. Think, ok we made a higher high at 17k, uptrend back on. Went long. Got liquidated at 13k. 50 BTC left. Devastated, unsure, no clue whats going on. Sat through the drop to 9k, when we bounced I thought it could be the bottom. Longed at 11500, panic closed 10500. When we went to 13k I was kicking myself for panic closing, went long at 12800. Liquidated this morning for my last bitcoin. 3 BTC to 200, to 0 At this time I am still in shock, the last few months Ive neglected relationships and school, and Ive been daydreaming about living the high life rich as fuck with my millions. Now, I am nowhere. Posting this so others dont gamble away life changing money. Dont want donations or tips not posting an address dont PM me. I never want to hear the word btc again because I want to forget https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/7s8umm/how_i_lost_nearly_200_btc_trading_this_past_month/ submitted by /u/StockJock-e [link] [comments]

How is a company whose stock is worth less able to purchase a company whose stock is worth more? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 07:04 AM PST Might be a dumb question but I'm relatively new to the stock world. If Company A is worth $10 a stock and Company B is worth $20 a stock how is A able to purchase B? submitted by /u/dunesix [link] [comments]

Best Android widget to track major indices like the DJIA, S&P 500, etc.? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 08:30 AM PST I'm looking for a widget to pop on my home screen that I can quickly glance at and be able to gauge how the market is doing, in general on a given day. Preferably something that's light on battery. Does anyone have anything that they would recommend? submitted by /u/showmeurknuckleball [link] [comments]

Best stock screeners that incorporate upcoming news releases? (Like FDA announcements for biotechs) Posted: 24 Jan 2018 01:48 PM PST What stock screeners do you guys like to use? I was looking at finviz but had trouble coupling that with other sources like the FDA announcement calendar. I have a stupid 10 week long investing challenge where we need to invest in single name equities to produce the most alpha which is stupid because you can't value invest on a 10 week horizon so its pretty much all dumb plays and betting on what will have big moves. submitted by /u/klausshermann [link] [comments]

If you knew a 10% to 20% correction is coming what stocks would you buy ? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 12:30 PM PST Let's say you have to use 100% of your portfolio . I'm thinking of keeping 75% of my current portfolio and going 25% into positions such as $IEP, $TLT and a half position in $VIXY. submitted by /u/Poopeyejoe_44 [link] [comments]

New Howard Marks Memo Posted: 24 Jan 2018 12:21 PM PST It's a long one. Kinda of the same tone. Everything is expensive but you have to stay invested because the economy is solid. Tough place to be, but tougher to be out of the market, it seems. There is a good amount on the new tax plan in there. Always a pleasure to read. https://www.oaktreecapital.com/docs/default-source/memos/latest-thinking.pdf submitted by /u/StateofCaptial [link] [comments]

What is the best time to realize gain? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 12:02 PM PST What is the best time to realize gain on non-dividend stocks (for now just in retirement accounts so it won't affect current year income tax). I have some tech stocks, some of them with 100-150% gains on, others 20-50%. Realize and reinvest? Or keep them till the end of time? submitted by /u/Hacapesy-Makie [link] [comments]

Question about investigation on HTM Posted: 24 Jan 2018 07:32 AM PST I own stock (477) shares of US Geothermal - HTM Stock. Today the price jumped up to 5.41 per share. I checked the news on the stock and found this. SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of U.S. Geothermal Inc. (NYSE: HTM) ("U.S. Geothermal") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA) ("Ormat"). On January 24, 2018, U.S. Geothermal announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Ormat. Under the terms of the agreement, U.S. Geothermal shareholders will receive $5.45 per share in cash. The investigation concerns whether the U.S. Geothermal board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for U.S. Geothermal shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given the Company's projected revenue and earnings growth and one Wall Street analyst has a $6.00 price target on the stock. If you are a shareholder of U.S. Geothermal and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonfistel.com) at 619-814-4471. If emailing, please include a phone number. About Johnson Fistel, LLP: Johnson Fistel, LLP is a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm with offices in California, New York and Georgia. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits. For more information about the firm and its attorneys, please visit http://www.johnsonfistel.com. Attorney advertising. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. My question. Should I sell at the $5.41 a share? I just don't know how much of a hassle it will be to get the money back into my account if they issue me a check. I don't know how common it would be for one of these law suits to actually yield positive results. submitted by /u/thesunscreen [link] [comments]

Emerging Markets Shift Posted: 24 Jan 2018 09:20 AM PST I've decided to begin shifting my exposure into more emerging markets with the hope that if we take a hit in the US, there will be a rise in select emerging markets. So far, I have began to shift money into: VWO, SMIN and SCHE. Anyone have any other emerging market ETF picks that: 1. Have a low gross expense ratio 2. Is in an emerging market that you believe would rise in the event that the US markets began to correct? submitted by /u/Esc00 [link] [comments]

Good time to get into AMZN Posted: 24 Jan 2018 01:58 AM PST Hi all, I know this is a bit of a redundant question in many ways, as there are so many elements involved and also no one knows the answer. However, I would like to get a view of all your individual opinions. I've always wanted AMZN and GOOG stocks while in University (2-3 years ago) but couldn't afford them. I made my first entry into the stock market this December with BAC, JP Morgan & Citi Group shares. They're all doing pretty well. BAC is on 7-8% growth at the moment. I also want Amazon shares, but I feel like I may be purchasing at a weak time because I'm not buying at a dip (albeit a minor/temporary one). I should have bit the bullet in December but made a mistake. I wonder if there will be some sort of price correction in the near future or dip that I can capitalise on. I'm struggling to make the necessary logical deductions on this particular piece. Would be helpful to know your thoughts/opinions on this so I can flesh out my perspective on this particular question. Thanks, 5DYL7 submitted by /u/5DanaYuktiLabha7 [link] [comments]
