    Cities and states around the country are banning stores from refusing to accept cash, and it's a troubling trend for Amazon

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 08:10 AM PDT

    https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-stores-threatened-by-cashless-trend-2019-3

    Stores that do not accept cash are on the rise, from quick-service lunch spots to Amazon's Go stores.

    Not accepting cash can speed up lines and make life easier for card-carrying consumers.

    But a backlash has grown, as the cashless trend leaves out lower-income customers who may not have a bank account.

    Massachusetts, Philadelphia, and New Jersey have already barred stores from rejecting cash as payment, and New York City and San Francisco are considering similar measures.

    This could affect the growth of Amazon's physical stores, which do not accept cash.

Based on the information that has been made available, it is clear Nvidia's leaders have continued their pattern of imitation as their so-called "first-of-its-kind" safety concept is a close replica of the RSS model we published nearly two years ago"

    General advice for when to sell stocks

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 11:50 AM PDT

    I am 20 and have been investing for a little over 2 years now. I buy a lot of stock, and have done pretty well so far at that. I struggle with deciding when to sell. A couple times I have had stocks jump up significantly, and then drop again. I am usually left stuck with the feeling of regret after they drop back down. I know that a large portion of deciding when to sell is being very familiar with what the company is doing, and how the stock market is behaving in general. I invest in about 10 different companies, and try to diversify as much as possible, but the issue is, it is difficult for me to keep up with my studies and leisurley activities and staying up to date with all of the companies I invest in. A few of these companies are more long term juggernauts, but I also have a good amount of money in more volatile stocks.

    How do you guys decide when to sell. Is there a trend I should be looking for? Do I go off of gut instinct? Or do I just need to suck it up and devote more time to staying up to date with the stock market world?

    I bought into this in the high twenties on what seemed like a dip at the time. I know that rumor is Amazon will kill by virtue of competing in the same space, but people have cried that for numerous cloud and retail stocks and it's hardly tautological. Revenue growth isn't the problem.

    Best stocks to short for the long term

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 09:29 AM PDT

    If you had to short some stocks for the long run (one year), what are your top choices and why?

    My money is on $SNAP and $GME

    SNAPCHAT, $SNAP - Everyone I know has moved on to Instagram and no one is using snapchat anymore. I'm even considering uninstalling it from my phone

    GAMESTOP, $GME - I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon and Best buy continues taking market share from game stop and with electronic games purchases being more convenient, physical copies are getting less popular over time. I don't see how game stop is being innovative to tackle any of these problems.

    Question about the stocks market, are them worldwide?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 09:00 AM PDT

    So recently I got interested in the stocks market (I dont really have any money to invest but still im very interested in it and would like to learn about/understand it). So to my question, by worldwide I mean can I buy stocks from companies that arent in my country? Or are the stocks only sold locally (and by locally I mean same country). I can try to clarify the post if needed, not a native english speaker.

    Edit: I dont know but I feel like Global would be a better term instead of worldwide idk.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 03:38 AM PDT

    i don't really understand how options can make more money than trading. i'm new to the market and have made 10% profit in two weeks just by buying and selling but i've read that you can make more with options but i don't understand them.

    when you buy an option you pay a premium to get 1 call or 1 put which is 100 stocks right? but the premium is like a lot cheaper than the stock itself so how do you make more profit on that than if you just buy the stock and sell it? i don't get it...
