    What stocks are catching your eye this weekend?

    October was a rough ride for U.S. stocks, which despite regaining a portion of the month's losses Wednesday ended as one of the worst months since the financial crisis.

    The S&P 500 lost $1.91 trillion in October, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices analyst Howard Silverblatt. Losses were spread widely across industry sectors. October was the worst month for the S&P 500 since September 2011.

    "October volatility is legendary, and we're not just talking about the crash in 2008," Silverblatt told CNBC. "October is a much more volatile month than any of the others as far as quick declines go."

    The month kicked off on a rocky note for stocks when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank is "a long way" from neutral interest rates. Powell said the Fed does not need the policies put in place that pulled the economy out of the last financial crisis. He declared that "we don't need" the "really extremely accommodative low interest rates" the central bank put in place a decade ago. The Fed is likely to raise the federal funds rate to 3.4 percent before pausing, according to the most recent projections.

    Big technology stocks — most well-known as FANG: Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google parent Alphabet — were among the hardest hit. Amazon ended the month down 20.2 percent, and Netflix ended down 19.3 percent. Investors fled both after earnings reports. Facebook and Alphabet finished October down 7.7 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively.

    Do you think we have seen the end of this corrections?

    Will big corrections be more frequent for the market in the upcoming years?

    When Decades Became Days: Notes from a Princeton Dorm Room during the Financial Meltdown of 2008

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 04:00 PM PST

    Hi Everyone,

    I've waited a decade to share these notes! I have finally published my diary during the 2008 bear market. As I learned about markets as a child, I was always fascinated by 1907, 1929, and 1972 but never knew the daily news flow.

    For historical preservation, this is the first time a diary of the bear market has been published. A true first hand account of the experience. Super fascinating, and I enjoyed revisiting the period.

    As we head into a bear market in the next couple years, it will be important to learn from the last one!

    An open discussion of potential plays for a 2018 US/China trade deal happening (or not). (small % speculative account).

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 03:30 PM PST

    I'm looking to share discussion on a possible US/China trade deal and how to trade that if it happens short term (before end of 2018). I have a small account for a possible speculative play around a possible deal. My thesis is that a large trade deal moves US markets pretty green on that event IF*/WHEN* that happens. I don't think a big trade deal will magically happen overnight without an incredible amount of press leading up to it.

    Looming tariff increases Jan 2019 and G20 talks (stuff you already know):

    Trump has promised to increase the Chinese tariffs from 10% to 25% Jan 1st, 2019 in writing so there's some urgency to trying to solve something before 2019 for those affected parties/interests by the coming tariff increases. The G20 conference in South America is Nov 30 thru Dec 1st and the U.S. and China are sitting down to talk then before the end of the year.

    Some 2018 scenarios (very small list here as anything can happen before 2019 tariffs):

    -G20 talks go nowhere, uncertainty continues, no deal of any type and tariffs go on 2019 as planned. I'm assuming a decent chuck of stocks head lower at that point closer we get to January 1st, 2019 and beyond as the tariffs increase having a big impact that way.

    -The U.S. hold's off on that increase with a possible new agreement of a sit down at a later date/small deal. Maybe a small rally or sideways?

    -A big trade deal is announced sometime before 2019. I'm assuming huge gap up if this happens.

    Trading Idea's and questions: Just wondering what some of you are going for some short term plays on this and what you are thinking on the matter.

    Perhaps buy some calls before the G20 in case the market rises on a possible deal if it becomes more talk? Same vein as buy the rumor sell the news here so sell calls before g20?

    VIX options either way before or after G20?

    What happens if a big trade deal gets announced during market hours? Run to buy your nearest favorite calls?

    Alternatively, how to play this if a big trade deal gets announced Premarket or afterhours. Most big brokers have extended hours trading (4 am to 8 p.m.) and it looks like TDA has some 24/5 trading on the index's (SPY/QQQ).

    If a big deal is announced PM/AH, thoughts on what to buy shares of? Beaten down companies affected from tariffs? Go index and buy SPY/QQQ shares or some leveraged index funds (like SQQQ)??

    Should I look into futures trading with SPX (I haven't done futures before)?

    Anything you are willing to share on what you are planning on doing?

    I’m not as knowledgeable and I’m learning every day. I’m trying to understand how the to calculate the compounded interest over time of an index fund like the S & P 500. The dividend yield is a lot lower than the AAR. I’m trying to do the numbers in the compound interest calculator. How do I?

    do I still have hope?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 07:33 AM PST

    im financially ruined with mortgage to pay for a property I cant afford and my monies running out. no job and all my $$$ in stock market and Trump ruined it all literally cut my savings in half in October which I need to repay the mortgage. Still got some other savings which can cover maybe a year or two, but afterwards I would have to withdraw from my stock brokerage account which is horrible because its my only source of income.

    I am very pessimistic about the current market and 2019. How likely it is to double my money, provided I use 2x-3x leverage, in lets say 6 months? I invest mostly in techs but after the October massacre I put some money in safer sectors like restaurants stocks as well. What are some tips to make money in a bear market, or a sideway, high volatility market? Im only used to the bull market as I started only a few years ago, 2018 feels so off and alien compared to previous years, the game has changed.
