    Stock Market - The Federal Reserve and the endless money printer

    Stock Market - The Federal Reserve and the endless money printer


    The Federal Reserve and the endless money printer

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 04:25 PM PST

    As many of you know, we have had historically low interest rates for a long time now. The Federal Reserve has printed money and grown their balance sheet to levels never seen before, and the US is running record deficits at the same time, during a supposed strong economy. This is obviously a cause for concern.

    I recently came across a CNBC video (yes, I know), and the guest, Byron Wien, Blackstone Private Wealth Vice Chairman, had an incredible segment where he explains this issue in just ~2 minutes. Worth a watch - https://youtu.be/C4QjDJuyfek?t=186. Even the interviewers were stunned.

    So what's the plan when the balance sheet expansion and QE4 or whatever you want to call it comes to an end? Buy gold? Buy Puts? Stay invested and average down?

    I'd love to get some discussion going on this. It's a real issue and not something that can be ignored forever.

    Education

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 05:30 AM PST

    If any one could maybe suggest books or other material to get a good education on the market so I can gain knowledge to better myself at investing.

    I hate my job, I'm a single parent and I've decided instead of trading my time for money, I can be at home with my kid and making a great income (eventually). Thanks.

    Dividend capture strategy - am I missing something?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:30 PM PST

    I am considering using a dividend capture strategy for a stock with a pretty good yield, whose ex div date is coming up in December. I already own a a few of their stock, but for this to be worthwhile, I'd have to invest about $1500 to make $650 in dividend.

    I know that the price will drop in the days after the ex-div date, but then they should recover. I know that this happens because the market isn't perfectly rational, and the price drop doesn't fully account for the newly paid dividend, or something like that, etc. etc.

    But what's the catch? Is there a chance the stock will drop by $650 or more, and I'll completely be screwed? Why don't more people do this - just because it's kind of a pain?

    Tell me why I should or shouldn't try this for the first time.

    Edit: Ok, my math was very wrong...was using $5 instead of 5% 😂 so yeah, there's one catch.

    Edit: fixed to say ISN'T perfectly RATIONAL, which is what I meant. When you have a kid, reckless typing becomes kind of a thing

    Importance Of Avoiding Rushed Purchases And Sales In Crypto Bull/Bear

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 04:43 PM PST

    Can anyone remember how often a trade that seemed so simple and expected was reversed immediately? At trade that was all but certain to go in that direction? Well, when investors take a long or short position and then have price reversal and move towards the lower/upper with tremendous momentum, the so called "bull or bear trap" occurs. This trend also follows a very similar sequence of "obvious" long/short trade to lure investors, followed by a sudden move toward them. Bull and bear traps often occur around previous highs/lows where it looks as if the price is continuing the rally/plummet.

    At that point, amateur traders often tend to enter, thinking the ongoing trend will continue for them. They hold on to their positions as price then reverses until their stops are reached or leave the position. This action gives the reversal even more momentum. Market makers or the so-called smart money are most likely to cause this trend. They surround the majority of the herd of retail/amateur traders to eat up their positions. Knowing how to make an action within these traps, anyone can trade with a high probability and a large risk/reward ratio. So before jumping right into the market dip, it's important to take a closer look at how the order-flow and process behind a bull trap and bear trap occurs.

    Avoid Forex Trading Scams

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:10 PM PST

    The foreign exchange (forex) market is huge, with an average daily trading volume of more than $5 trillion, including currency futures and options.

    That means the chance still exists for many forex scams that promise quick wealth through "secret trading formulas," or "forex robots" that do the trading for you.

    Before getting involved in forex trading, perform your own due diligence by visiting the Background Affiliation Status Information Center (BASIC) website created by the National Futures Association (NFA), the futures and options industry's self-regulatory organization, to learn how to choose a reputable broker and avoid scams.

    Before dealing with the public, every company or someone who wants to lead off-exchange forex business is needed to become a member of the NFA and to file with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the government office that oversees futures and options trading.

    You can search BASIC to find out what regulatory actions, if any, have been brought against a particular person or firm.

    Signal Sellers

    One of the challenges a rookie forex investor faces is finding out which operators to trust in the forex market and which to avoid. Signal sellers are one group of operators to observe carefully.

    A signal seller basically offers a system that purports to identify appropriate times for buying or selling a currency pair. The system may be manual, in which case the user must enter trading info, or it may be automated to put through a trade when a signal takes place.

    Some systems depend on technical analysis, others depend on breaking news, and many use a combination of the two. Signal sellers usually charge a fee for their services.

    The signal sellers' frequent criticism is that if it were really possible to use their system to beat the market, why would the individual or firm that has this information make it widely available? Wouldn't it make more sense to use this incredible signaling system to make huge profits for themselves?

    Other analysts distinguish between known scammers and more respectable sources of market information that offer a well-thought-out signaling service.

    There is a larger difference of opinion about whether anyone can predict the next move in a trading market Behind these opposing views lies. This fundamental disagreement won't be settled any time soon.

    Eugene Fama (economist, Nobel prize-winning) proposes in his well-regarded efficient market hypothesis that finding these kinds of momentary market advantages really isn't possible.

    Robert Shiller (economist, Nobel prize-winning) believes differently, citing evidence that investor sentiment creates booms and busts that can provide trading opportunities.

    The best way to determine if a signal seller can benefit you is to open a trading account with one of the trusting forex brokers and enter practice trades that

    Be patient, and with time, you'll determine whether predictive signaling works for you or doesn't.

    Forex Investment Management Funds

    The last few years, forex management funds have proliferated. Most of these are scams. They offer investors the "opportunity" to have their forex trades carried out by highly-skilled forex traders who can offer outstanding market returns in exchange for a share of the profits.

    The problem is, this "management" offer requires the investors to give up control over their money and to hand it over to someone they know little about other than the hyped-up and often a completely false record of success available on the scammers' website and brochures.

    Investors often end up with nothing, while the scammers use investors' funds to live high on the hog.

    A good rule of thumb in the forex market, as with other areas of investment, is that if it sounds too good to be true, such as annual returns of more than 100 percent, for example, it's almost certainly a scam.

    Dishonest Brokers

    Although the forex market is not fully regulated, it has no single central regulatory authority. However, the spot Forex market, which accounts for the majority of trades, is completely unregulated. This gives the opportunity for some forex brokers to deceive their clients and do not deal with them fairly.

    Any trader can avoid a bad broker by dealing with trading companies approved and licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Although forex trading itself may be unsupervised, the SEC and FINRA broker may not risk licensing other securities by fraudulent forex clients.

    I used to trade high risk sub penny stocks(fairly successfully for a while, then it went to hell) and I started a video series to document both my wins and loses and how others can learn from them. I intend each video to teach a lesson based on one of my experiences.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:10 PM PST

    https://youtu.be/NJD9zOhFiuM

    The first video is still on my main channel but I've decided to start a second one since my main channel is mostly video game related. If you would be so kind to check it out here and give me some feedback that would be cool. Honestly greed is a mofo and if I can help others not to fall into that trap it would be great.

    Best buy stock (thoughts after the big move today)

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:50 PM PST

    I've been a best buy stock holder since it dropped huge over a year ago. Got in around $50s... But now that it's gone up to $80+. I am thinking of selling it and moving on to another stock. I've never really been a fan of retail but best buy looked very enticing due to the big drop that happened.

    Looking to hear your thoughts on this one? Any shareholders holding long term or selling now?
