| I built a site that combines social media and keeps track of the most talked about ticker symbols Posted: 31 May 2021 08:01 AM PDT I built a site that takes all posts from 24 different investing subreddits as well as from thousands of popular investing twitter, YouTube, and tiktok users and places them into one searchable and organized place. While many posts may not be relevant or go unread, the idea is to be able to search for any ticker symbol, key word, or username and see relevant posts across all social media all in one place. The site keeps track of the most talked about stock ticker symbols and places them under "Trending". The site comes with a wide range of tools to help analyze all the data and will alert you every time a new ticker symbol begins to trend with the sentiment analysis on all the posts it has collected on that ticker over the past 24 hours. Its served as a super useful tool for me for finding popular ticker symbols just as they begin to gain hype and thought it could serve you guys as well [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 31 May 2021 02:30 PM PDT This is a long read. I would like to present a more balanced and less charged view on hedge funds, shorting, naked shorting, synthetic shares and margin calls. There are quite a few misconceptions I would like to clear up as well. In addition a lot of the terms are often misused to control online narratives. I want to provide a bit of insight to help everyone out. Here is a quick definition from Wikipedia: "A hedge fund is a pooled investment fund that trades in relatively liquid assets and is able to make extensive use of more complex trading, portfolio-construction and risk management techniques in an attempt to improve performance, such as short selling, leverage, and derivatives." What that means is that a hedge fund is basically a pooled investment fund. Anyone trading on a margin account (that includes retail) can also short sell and use leverage. So the only difference between a hedge fund and an actively managed fund like ARKK is that hedge funds use leverage and other strategies. A lot of people seem to have a disdain for all hedge funds. However, they are pooled funds. A pooled fund just means that the fund has been contributed to by more than one person. Not all hedge funds engage in abusive or shady tactics. Hedge funds have individual members. People like you and me who are paying someone else to manage their money. Some people use them to save up for retirement. Especially if you have a lot of money, hedge funds can seem attractive because they can use more complex strategies which means that they have the potential to do well in various market conditions. Unlike an ETF which can crash along with the rest of the market. Let's take a look at what short selling or "shorting" is. Anyone with a margin account can short sell a stock. I will give the simplest explanation I can. You borrow a share at a variable rate. So the amount you owe for the share is always equal to the current market value of that share. If the cost goes up you owe more. If it goes down you owe less. You then sell that share to someone for the value at the moment in time that you bought the share. Eventually, if the share price goes down, you can pay back your loan and pocket the difference. So you borrow a share for $10, you sell it for $10. The share price goes down to $5. You now buy back the share for $5 and give back the $5 you borrowed to close the position. You have now earned $5. That's how the concept works. In practice your broker does that all for you. Short selling is a way to make money on a stock that is losing value. Now I'm going to give a simple explanation about what a margin call is. It seems like there's been some confusion there. When you borrow on margin, you can't borrow 100% of your position. You have to have a certain percentage of your account in cash or similar assets. The specific percentage depends on the amount of risk you are taking. If the ratio of your borrowed amount gets too high relative to the cash in the account, you get a margin call. You can either liquidate some of your holdings into cash or add more cash to the account or face consequences. The consequences are bad and can ruin your portfolio. Short selling is the most common reason to get a margin call. If you borrowed shares and the share price goes up, the amount you owe goes up and you start to go into debt on the position. The more the share price goes up, the more likely it becomes that you will get a margin call. There has also been a lot of talk lately about naked shorting. I'm going to give a quick explanation of that here. Naked shorting involves shorting a share that hasn't yet been borrowed, along with the promise that the share will be found and borrowed within a set time period. Retail doesn't have any way to do this as your broker will not open a position for you without first securing a share to borrow. I believe the time period to secure a share is 3 days but don't quote me on that. I'm retail so I've never had to worry about it. So, basically, naked shorting means you sell someone a share which you haven't borrowed yet and you promise the "system" that you will find a share to borrow later. It's like if you owned a furniture store and you sold a customer an item you don't have in stock with the promise you will have it delivered on Friday. It speeds up the transaction. If the share can't be borrowed later the deal is cancelled and the transaction should be reversed. I say "should" because I know there are some times when the shares don't get secured or transactions are manipulated. Basically think of it as the furniture salesman making an empty promise that the furniture will come in the following week instead while trying to stop the customer from requesting a refund and frantically calling multiple suppliers to try to get the goods. It's technically illegal but the SEC doesn't aggressively enforce the rules. Or they are really hard to enforce because you can't trace a transaction which hasn't been completed or reported. What is a synthetic share? It's created by what happened in the above example. It's a share "created" by naked shorting and then failing to secure a share to deliver. It's illegal. But, again, the SEC doesn't seem to go after it. Apparently it's also much more common in Canada where there are loopholes and a lack of oversight which allow it to take place. How does all of this affect a retail investor? The practice of legitimately short selling a share doesn't have a direct impact on the retail investor. Retail investors can do it too. The problem is when short selling becomes abusive. For example, if there is a large organization which has short positions and also has financial or political power. Some firms will actively short a stock and then use their political and financial influence to damage the share price by changing public perception or in other ways. If they can pay the media to post an article painting a false picture of the company, leverage social media influence or even leverage politicians to somehow screw the company over, that's where the problem is. So short selling isn't the problem directly. The problem is when a powerful firm or individual engages in market manipulation to make bank on their short positions. This is highly illegal but it's also hard to prosecute as those types of cases take up time and money and are very likely to be thrown out of court as it's often impossible to prove how any two things are connected without breaking the law during an investigation, an act which would invalidate the evidence. Naked shorting and synthetic shares however do have a direct impact on the retail investor. Naked shorting by itself is fine as long as a share is secured in due time for the transaction. However, share prices are determined by supply and demand. When a synthetic share is created, it isn't on the books. And a share can be kept synthetic forever if the person holding it isn't in a rush to sell. So it can artificially boost the value of an account and keep the account holder satisfied. If too many synthetic shares are created and "bought" it can lower the share price because it can hide some of the demand for the shares. It also allows certain organizations or individuals to purchase a large amount of shares without creating a spike in the share price. Normally when a large number of shares are bought it creates a spike in share price and can trigger an instant loss to the purchaser by those who hold shares closing their positions to quickly profit from the spike. This won't happen with synthetic shares either so it's an added motivation to secure synthetic shares instead of legitimate shares. The problem with margin calls is that if someone is engaging in abusive short selling it adds fuel to the fire by pressuring them to step up their game. So the tactics being used to drive down the price of the shorted shares will become shadier or more aggressive. Another issue with margin calls is that they can cause a trickle down effect. If enough shares from other companies are sold to cover for margin calls the value of shares in those other companies goes down because it created an artificial selling spree. When large accounts are looking to liquidate they will usually liquidate lower performance stocks first which can hurt companies which were already underperforming and further reduce their share price. So what does this all mean at the end of the day? This stuff has always been going on. It's going to keep going on. The SEC isn't very motivated to do anything about it because they make bank on the system existing much more than they do on giving out fines, enforcing regulations or spending money on legal fees. It's an unfortunate reality of the market. Unless there is drastic social change these things will keep happening. But also keep in mind, not all short sellers are abusive, not all hedge funds resort to shady tactics, and some forms of naked shorting are legal. I hope this helps people get a better understanding of buzz words and will also help them see that those same buzz words are often misused or taken out of proper context to control online narratives. My personal opinion on this is that trying to stop this kind of activity in the market is just like trying to stop high school bullying. When you give bullies attention you just give them more power. Little people are always going to be little people. The best things you can do are to give them the silent treatment and shed light on how their tactics work so that other people are empowered to get a leg up on them by staying a step ahead of their game.

| Lots of bullish constructs in progress when you zoom out Posted: 31 May 2021 03:49 PM PDT The Hunt brothers had borrowed heavily and invested in futures contracts in silver and that's why they failed when Comex changed the rules. The hunt brothers showed us it can be done with two people the wrong way. It's up to hundreds of thousands of us to do it the right way. We should not be leveraged and purchase only physical. For liquidty or safety whatever your reason You can buy PSLV or another ETF that you trust. PSLV is indeed draining 1,000 oz bars from the market. But never touch SLV or other paper scam ETFS . It is possible that the US government forced Comex to change the rules but Comex can't do anything to us, nothing. Comex can't hurt us, we can crush them. An unorganised buyup is harder to control than few individuals trying to buy the market. . The buy up will need to be long and sustained. We need to buy and hold . Just put one foot in front of the other and keep stacking (but don't go all in). Eventually, basic supply and demand functions will out weigh the manipulations! The bullion banks are finished in days or weeks it's no longer years or months....each one of us little apes kicked them . As a results : Global demand will be led by investments in industrial and investment-grade physical silver, as a result of economic recovery from the pandemic, as well as healthy coin and bar purchases building on 2020's gains. The whales are going to move now and I'm sure that will accelerate as well ...tic tock . In fact we can take the positive silver narrative further, by analyzing supply and demand. In doing so, we feel confident in calling peak mined silver. Silver supply is limited. In 2021 we have already reached peak mined silver. Silver mines currently do not produce enough silver to meet demand without recycling. For now, as long as prices remain where they are, the industry will be able to melt down enough silver to meet demand. But this isn't a sustainable model. Because silver is more of an industrial metal than a monetary metal, there is a limited amount of above-ground silver available for recycling. Eventually the industry will reach a point where they have to either get more production from existing mines or find new silver deposits. The latter can't be done in a hurry; it takes seven to 10 years at minimum to build a mine and often longer. The three areas of growing demand — solar, 5G and automotive — potentially account for greater than 125 million ounces, annually, in 10 years. Where is this new silver supply going to come from? I do not see enough supply growth to offset the demand growth," with mine supply falling since 2016 and "I do not see enough projects in development to generate the kind of production levels in question, at least not at current silver prices." "My view is that the 'green revolution' will be highly positive for silver." It's hard to disagree with that, and the obvious conclusion to be drawn from it, which is that silver prices are heading higher. There is no alternative to Silver , Silver rose 36x in the 1970s, . Silver jumped 12x in the 2000. The Silver Institute therefore expects the silver price to advance a whopping 33% in 2021. The rally in Silver has barely begun and will run for years, imho. Given the amount of currency printed out of thin air, if history is anything to go by, the gains will be enormous, especially in real terms. [link] [comments]  | ||

| $ATWT $8M market cap just got an LOI for 1000 vehicles in the middle east Posted: 31 May 2021 06:42 AM PDT ATWEC ($ATWT) Subsidiary SafeBus Tech Signs LOI for Middle East Sales! This is a tiny company with a market cap of only $8M ($0.0215/share) and has been making some huge moves recently. ATWT to Export New Vehicle Technologies to Schools in Saudi Arabia and UAE. The Company will initially commit to installing systems on up to 1,000 vehicles in greater Riyadh, beginning in late 2021. The price of the systems ranges from basic $250 up to $2500 per vehicle, for a high-functioning and powerful security system. "We are exploring the opportunity for immediate sales beyond our nation's borders, to countries like Saudi Arabia, whose cities have as many children and as many buses as we do," said Ravi Saini, one of the founding partners of SafeBus INTL. "These new relationships will ramp up the Company's sales efforts and require expanded manufacturing of the units. ATWT can go into high production mode, and hopefully attain exponential growth by 2023." The stock price has slowly declined a massive 80% since making the announcement due to youtubers pumping the news and ATWT selling its stock to purchase SafeBus Technologies. On May 31, they will finalized their acquisition and I'm sure there will be an announcement for that as well. I think this gives us a fantastic buying price now because of all the catalysts coming. Anytime new news comes out about this stock, I like to post it on the pages I follow. This is not meant to be a distraction for AMC (TO THE MOON!) but this is a great small cap stock to look into! $22.5M contract signed https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ATWT/news/ATWEC-Technologies-Inc-Announces-Contract-for-a-mixture-of-95000-different-units-from-its-product-line?id=291388 SafeBus Aquisition https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ATWT/news/First-Pilot-Programs-to-Begin-at-Memphis-Day-Care-Centers-in-April-2021?id=299054 [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 31 May 2021 01:07 AM PDT I apologize if this isn't the right forum. I know that the typical "not a financial advisor so not giving you advice" is going to reign supreme with these responses but some insight would be appreciated. I have busted my ass to get through school to finish my degrees and am now getting ready within the next 6 months to be working my end job and making significantly more money than I do now even with tons of overtime. I live a fairly simple lifestyle. I have maintained working overtime through school so that I could work on mostly paying off student loans from undergrad while paying out of pocket for my masters. My future wife and I plan on purchasing a house which I have already factored into a budget that works now while allowing for a car payment once my motorcycle is paid off (net change of a couple hundred bucks). After all this, we're looking at a change of a couple grand a month excess on top of what I have extra each month now. What are some suggestions for firms that can help me best put the extra money to use? I understand there is always risk, but I feel the risk is much lower with a professional handling the money than if I try myself. Secondly, is this a stupid line of thinking? I don't want to just sit and stack money in a savings when I could put most of that to use and hopefully provide an early retirement to us. She deserves that and I don't want her to have to work unless she wants to as she has busted her ass to help me get to where I am about to be. Thank y'all in advance. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 31 May 2021 10:47 AM PDT NEO: COIN.NE Tokens.com Corp., publishes a letter to shareholders regarding the Company's business model, particularly as it relates to energy consumption. Dear Shareholders, Today we are releasing the first part of this series, which covers the important topic of energy use in the crypto space and how our business uses a process that accomplishes the same thing with near zero energy consumption. This is why Ethereum, the second largest crypto asset with a market value of about $300 billion, is aiming to make the bold move to transfer its entire platform to Staking in the next few years. Not only is Staking estimated to use 99.95% less energy than crypto mining, it also allows for faster processing of more transactions per second. We believe this will eliminate the bottlenecks created by the limited throughput of crypto mining and reduce the Ethereum carbon footprint to nearly zero. Tokens.com has purchased approximately 35,000 additional Polkadot tokens (DOT) to further its Staking operation. What tokens.com does essentially is provide transaction processing and validation services for various digital assets that power DeFi applications and NFT platforms. An alternative to coin-mining called Proof-of-Stake (POS). Its meant to be environmentally friendly and more secure than easier than the current method of blockchain methods. In order to gather and add the coins in a new block, it selects them at random and checks if that node is legitimate in order to be allowed to be added to the chain. It chooses based on a couple methods, and never prioritizes the richer blocks. This is meant to be a fair method to allow a more equal distribution of blocks. The stock went from a 52-week low of around 0.12 to a high of 1.390. Current around 0.67, so currently like the rest of the market, is has a good buying opportunity with the dip here. The value it provides has not waivered at all, its only increased. Its main competitor, Imining, only receives compensation through the fees it provides, whereas Tokens owns the assets as well and gains from appreciation.

| Posted: 30 May 2021 09:43 PM PDT Let's say there was an unlimited amount of trading software available or you had the ability to create your own trading software or app. What would you want this software/app to be capable of? How would you use it? What features would it have? What would you have it look like? Would it be a mobile app or computer only app or both? I'm currently working on an API to automate my trading, because that's my biggest need. I have had to learn some programming and am diving deeper into it. But I was thinking to myself, what kinds of features or capabilities are other people looking for? I day trade and have some fairly complex strategies that require me to only be able to be in 1 strategy at a time since most of my strategies require to be in multiple positions. I know some of you have some crazy strategies too, so I'm wondering, what are you needs? I'm intrigued. I also want to know if it is even possible to build the type of software that people are looking for. Let's find out. [link] [comments]  | ||
