    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?

    Sheesh. Where's that guy who bought $500k of EA a month or two ago?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 02:46 PM PST

    Tencent (TCEHY) vs Alibaba (BABA) vs JD.com (JD)

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 10:44 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    im looking to expand my portfolio and I want a Chinese stock to diversify my risk - Which stock do you believe have the best growth potential, and which one is trading a decent price? I am a long term investor and I want to hold this stock for at least 8-10 years. I think China is very interesting at the moment, considering that their stocks generally have suffered huge blows during the trade-war so far.

    Looking forward to hear your input,

    Thanks

    I've developed a simple index that I'd like to share with you all - RSI Total Strength

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 08:11 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I threw together a very simple yet reliable index that I am going to begin using in my options trading to determine the overall strength of a company based on historical RSI data. The index is a simple 100 day moving average of 14 day RSI, intended to give you an idea at a glance where a company's strength currently sits at and help you decide whether or not to trade it.

    The index is plotted as a histogram which identifies a weak company at under 50 (the blue mid line) and a strong company at over 50. The reason this is important is to give you an idea of a company's overall strength, and whether or not it has a track record of bouncing back from oversold territory or crashing at overbought territory. Here are some practical examples and pictures:

    https://gyazo.com/19e37d71fe3d382357ff984d682186a0 This shows the indicator on GE since 2011. When the indicator is red and lower in the graph, the company is at its weakest point. As it rises it strengthens. When it crosses the midpoint at 50, it indicates strength. As we can see at the current point, it is weak and getting weaker. The practical use, if you trade options based on RSI, would be to see that this company is overall averaging a low RSI and buying calls in oversold territory may not end up being profitable.

    https://gyazo.com/a1581fe63789699652a43c781b6b841a This is Visa since 2011. Very strong, as you can see. It was averaging over 60 RSI before the great October recession, which is incredibly good. Buying calls in oversold territory for a company like this will probably work out well for you. (I bought the dip in October and made a huge return.)

    https://gyazo.com/101a5192efb4c4c1d7fd85e24ddfa734 This is Snapchat in the last year. It's a pile of garbage, as you can see.

    https://gyazo.com/eeb9972b1cdf7e94c80f33e6af3f7a55 This is Apple since 2015. Isn't that beautiful?

    To reiterate the use of this for options, if you trade based on RSI you may buy puts in overbought territory (over 70) and calls in oversold (under 30.) I do this and it is a solid strategy. However, after going back and reviewing my losers and winners, this trend was a reliable indicator. My losers for calls were companies that showed red on this indicator, and my winners showed green. And vice versa for puts. The logic behind this is simple but surprisingly robust - companies with strong market sentiment will average a higher RSI, and when these companies for whatever reason dip into oversold territory, they are almost guaranteed to correct in a short period of time. Same goes for weak companies. If they average a lower RSI due to weak sentiment, when they launch into overbought territory, they will correct back down to where the market thinks they belong.

    I hope you guys find some use out of it! If you have Thinkorswim you can import it to your application from this link - http://tos.mx/YHdcIG (UPDATE 11/10 I fixed the default color and plot settings. Your graph should now look like mine does in the screenshots. I also included the up and downsignals.)

    Examples of application in options trading:

    UP SIGNAL (AMZN) - https://gyazo.com/cfad58d1eb8c69d97223b4016abc8872

    DOWN SIGNAL (TSLA) - https://gyazo.com/8f37b634211046601444383b325220e8

    FALSE UP SIGNAL PREVENTED (SNAP) - https://gyazo.com/deeec2ad7e70ccd5d56f96b33d3f5eb0

    FALSE DOWN SIGNAL PREVENTED (AAPL) - https://gyazo.com/79c095d44f1343abf37ace13ac2677b4

    Trevena (TRVN)

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 12:47 PM PST

    What do you guys think that is holding up for this company in the near future? They were trading at $3.xx nearly a month ago and now down to $.70 levels.
    They are a huge company and I expect a bounce back personally.
    Jump on this dip or nay?

    Problems withdrawing from Interactive Brokers or other brokers?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 02:52 AM PST

    I am new to stock trading. I actually started 1 month ago.

    Interactive brokers is the only US broker that accepts my country.

    I know about hundreds of horror stories in the binary optons and cfd trading industry, where traders couldn't withdraw thir funds anymore.

    I know that is a completely different case because most of those brokers were not even regulated, but still. I am a bit cautious.

    So are there any known scandals with interactive brokers or any other broker where investors coud't get their money back?

    What are your most favorite Gaming industry stocks?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 07:06 AM PST

    The gaming industry is growing incredibly fast and every company is trying to get a piece of the pie.

    So here are my favorites in the industry.

    My favorite small stocks are:

    Cd project red

    Paradox Interactive

    11 Bit studios

    Star breeze studios

    Focus home interactive

    And bigger ones like:

    Take two interactive

    Activision blizzard

    Of course finding great companies isn't the only part.

    It is also buying it at the right time for the right price.

    I just bought focus home interactive shares my self because their share price dropped and i am up 30% now(thanks to great sales of their new games)

    And Activision blizzard might come into a buy territory if it keeps dropping like this.

    What are your favorite gaming stocks?

    Bond market during a correction?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 10:06 AM PST

    I want to invest in mid-high yield bonds and corporate bonds, i.e. HYG. I think a correction will come this or next year. Do these stocks increase or decrease during a correction? I'm wondering if I should wait until a correction occurs.

    How to see stock volume by day?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 09:14 AM PST

    I use tradingview and questrade as my broker. How does one see, for instance, volume for an ETF like DWT. You can go on etfdb.com and see average volume, but is there a way to see what the volume is like the day you are trading? Do you need level 2 data?

    Thoughts on PI or other RFID stocks?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 08:31 AM PST

    RFID technology is obviously not going anywhere. I've been doing some research on good companies to invest in. PI looks like a good long term play. Anyone else investing in these RFID tech companies?

    dollar cost averaging my future away

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 08:21 PM PST

    Hi folks, a few words on DCA into index funds with retirement in 20-25 years.

    I've decided to pick some index funds to dollar cost average into with targets set on retirement in 20-25 years. I've seen recommendations on this board for total market, nasdaq, or S&P500. Would it be a bad idea to DCA into a Vanguard target-date retirement fund well or $BRK.B? I don't see that recommended too often. What about redundancies? If so, what kind of ratios might we consider (e.g. 75% $VOO, 25% VTIVX).

    Which index fund(s) are best suited for different situations and why? All three have long-term growth and will go up on a long enough timeline, so why pick one over another? They seem almost interchangeable looking at growth alone and ignoring their components. Also, why not go mutual fund instead of ETF if horizons are long term? Looking for something boring and trustworthy with long horizons. Thank you.

    Is stash app genuine?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 09:38 PM PST

    I just installed stash and one of their so called "challenges" is to buy a stock. Is this shilling? Am I overthinking? I feel like platforms that allow trading should stay completely neutral and not give suggestions.

    Publicly traded company that produces lab grown diamonds

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 02:50 PM PST

    Hey all,

    I recently got engaged and read several articles about the rising acceptance of lab grown diamonds and the potential growth of the market: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/11/diamond-market-may-be-warming-to-lab-made-gems.html

    Even De Beers caved in: https://www.ft.com/content/311d9c3c-7eac-11e8-af48-190d103e32a4

    Are there any publicly traded companies in this domain?. My research has only led me to a sub-penny stock: SCIO (see: https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/wealth-daily/whats-the-only-publicly-traded-company-growing-diamonds/)

    ALTR seems like one to keep an eye on: https://www.altr.nyc/

    Thanks!

    Source of stock chatter?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 04:23 PM PST

    ...other than stocktwits. And assuming I don't have a Bloomberg terminal.

    Just getting a little frustrated with the inane stuff on ST. The people trying to influence the price with very positive/neg messages at least adds some colour and can be entertaining, but stuff like:

    If this goes to 24.37 then it'll go to 25.49

    Shoot me now. (or better yet the people feeling the need to broadcast arbitrary gibberish)

    So, aside from the stock subs (which are good), anything else that is worth listening too?

    Why doesn’t Intel buy AMD

    Posted: 09 Nov 2018 10:30 PM PST

    They are fucking nothing when it comes to market cap. Their processors are getting much better and beginning to become competition for them in a big way. What is the reason behind Intel just letting this puny company exist any longer?
