>TVIX

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

>>1054853
I guess this is a better picture.

Anyway, crash inbound on Monday. But $TVIX today in anticipation, or wait to buy stocks at a discount on Monday.

>>1054877
Told you not to do it brah.
With TVIX, if you didn't make a profit in the first 2 hours, your money is as good as gone.

>>1054880
I'm only down $3 in total with just TVIX, I put a handful into VG and i'm going to keep it there for a while

>>1054884
Careful with VG. It's a growth stock but if I remember right, there's a bunch of bag holders on it from Nov. Look at that ask.

Why is ASTI still a thing? It's obviously a cheap shitty stock that's going nowhere.

>>1054891
I did some looking around on VG and I saw that they where doing complete overhaul on their business model

>>1054895
DESU F.A.M.S
That's what you all were saying about GBSN, and uhhh, WEW

>>1054907
Yeah I think it's a long term winner and a solid hold, I just wasn't sure if you were trying to flip it right away. Sometimes when people say 'keep it for a while' on here, they mean like a week.

unrelated to robinhood but i need /biz/ advice.

I'm leaving for 3 months, no access to a computer. What should i long for that time?

>>1054853
How do I unlink my bank account?
I messed up during the verification process, and so now I need to unlink it and try it again, but I cant find an "unlink" button.

>>1054925
>What should I long for that time?

>>1054912
I bought in at .26, why do I keep making bad decisions

>>1054929
answer the question you fucking filthy fairy flying flamingo faggot

>>1054937
VOO if you're lazy.

Personally I'm long on TXN, CAT, and, XOM though.

>>1054927
Press and hold the account and you'll see the unlink button.

You can also press and hold stocks on your watchlist to rearrange them FYI.

>>1054958
>Other people long on CAT
This makes me happy

I have hope for FCAU. It's really cheap considering GM is at about 30 and F at around 12.

>sixkek was right again
I think following sixkek's pick will bring me to 2 commas club.

COOL

I remember people going crazy about FREE. It's cheap as fuck now. Should I buy

Will GBSN go back up to .27 today or should I just break out even at this point

>>1054972
FCAU is at fair valuation though. F and GM are four times as large, undervalued at their respective price points and pay a dividend. You're comparing apples and oranges here, same industry doesn't mean same kind of story.

>>1054853
What's a good short term investment lads?

I don't know how much you'd typically put, but I've got a few grand at least to toy with.

Im an amateur of course, but you have to start somewhere

>>1055014
So would you consider investing in GM then?

Also, what companies can I invest in to take advantage of the low oil prices?

>>1054925
I'm sure during that time you'll be longing for a computer.

what the fuck just happened to ASTI?

Are memes becoming dreams?

>>1055062
DREAMS ARE REAL

>>1055037
I think they're both good buys at that price. I think investor sentiment is more on GM's side because of the div, but I think they're too tied into China and F is going to be able to have a more attractive product line going forward. With the way I invest, F just looks like a better buy right now because you can pick up a shit ton of it at current prices, plus it's also going to beat earnings on the 28th so if you got in now, you'd already be a buck or two ahead of the climb.

>>1054976
which ones? I gave up early after small profits.

is robinhood leveraged?

>>1055058
Nothing. Idiots just buying and selling

>>1055068

Who /playin it safe/ here?
I've just been day trading energy stocks (mostly coal actually) the past couple of days and I make like 8 dollars a day doing a couple trades then stepping away for the day.
I don't feel good having my money on either side of the battle right now, so I'm just trading a few hundred dollarinos per day for my profits. Thankfully volatility lets me make relatively large gains with relatively small investments (though the risk is thus also relatively large but I've only goofed once so far on that)
It's been working well going with the momentum so long as I mostly keep away from mid-afternoon; that's when stocks tend to switch their momentum over recently. There have been more than a few turnarounds this month at around 2:30 EST

>>1054853
What's a safe bet for the current market?
I don't have a lot of money in my account, just looking to make a little bit

> everything is completely flat lined
I have a feeling something huge is going to happen Monday.

why doesn't /rgt/ put together a list of stocks/etc that everyone should have in their watchlist, and then slowly fine tune and update it?

I always worry I'm going to miss out on some really great opportunities...

As somebody completely new to Robinhood, I'm wondering something.
Why would anybody not use Robinhood?
Is there a significant downside to Robinhood that we don't really talk about?
Is everybody else just misinformed?
What's the deal?

>>1055150
For peeps just starting out it's fine. Some of us need after hours, pre market, real time pricing, instant turnaround etc. Those pennies add up.

>>1055163
Well that answers my question pretty perfectly.
Thanks a lot.

>>1055138
From what I'm seeing, tech, energy, commodities stocks had decent volume today, like average or above for the most part.
Unsure about other sectors; maybe they were mostly left alone today. But the volume doesn't seem to be low, it just looks like you had a buyer for every seller and vice versa after the morning jump. Looks like people are willing to take action still but the bulls and bears are both hanging around.
I don't think either side is willing to give in and join the other yet, though. Needs some more catalysts

>>1055146
>that everyone should have in their watchlist
That's the thing. It should be different for everyone based on capital, risk tolerance and investment strategy. I imagine it's mostly micro and small cap stuff for the RH crowd, so a rough guide could work.

>then slowly fine tune and update it
That's what you should be doing everyday anon. Learn excel if you don't know it already. You can even auto update it with scripts, but doing it manually helps you learn even more.

Feels like there is a consistent number of amateurs increasing on these threads daily. A majority of the questions asked here asked by amateurs can be answered with just some research.
>>1055150
Robinhood is still a new thing although it's been around for a while now, it is gradually getting better. The fact that RH is only available for mobile devices is one huge factor. Also, since RH has zero commission fees, this spikes a lot of suspicion for people since it does sound too good to be true, although they do have an explanation as to how they make money without using commission fees, plenty of people still have doubts. The interface on the app is quite childish, if you are really serious about stock there just isn't enough information provided by the app alone to make good decisions. So you can easily lose money on the app if you have no clue about stocks.

>>1055182
tl;dr
>People with experience avoid RH because it's sketchy and lacks quite a number of important features compared to other brokerage sites.

>>1055182
I also want to hear about the stats on people getting their money transferred back to outside accts. I haven't heard anything on those numbers yet.

>>1055175
>Excel
Also not shilling for any one in particular but real brokers often have real platforms that do some of this for you. I just prefer doing it myself cause that's how I learned it.

>>1054963
Thanks!
Time to blow my money away!

>>1055166
It's FDIC insured, though. Which is what confuses me. Even if it is sketch... There's that assurance that your money should be safe.
I use TDA but also robinhood; TDA is fine for long term investments and access to other things, and it also has commission free ETFs which is great for investing, while Robinhood is a good way to do some lighter trading. I think Robinhood is a great asset for even the most experienced stock marketers, unless commission charges are chump change to them.
It's not like my ameritrade app is how I find stocks and research them; I use my computer to research them, though the TDA website is FULL of great resources. Having these two brokerage accounts is far more valuable to me than having one or the other.

Still, for long investments, like years in the making, I can't be arsed to use robinhood. I just feel better having it in TDA because robinhood is such a simple app. Just the design of it makes it difficult for me to want to invest long with it; im not sure why.
It's not that I'm sketched out by it, but the UI is so trader-friendly, with the huge BUY and SELL buttons, idunno.
I, for one example, like to open TDA app and check the candlestick chart of a stock as it progresses thru the day then take action on robinhood which won't charge me 7 bucks per fuckin trade.

TLDR robinhood is a great asset

If you had listened to me a month ago and bought $WING @ $20.45/share like I did, you could have sold for a 25% gain today.

>>1055247
Sorry I wasnt here a month ago.

But if someones interested I have a company that will pay out about 14% in dividends in 2 months that you could invest in. It wont have any swings and they made good profits and really large investements 2015. Going long in them with about 20 grand myself so...

Such a gay picture of robin hood. Your app is shit and you should all fuck off out of 4chan. This is a crypto board.

Robin hood is a scam don't be fooled use google.

Its a scam. Look up how these companies make money.

You're being manipulated.

Delete the app and do some research.

Post sources for your claim. I haven't seen anything.

Alright bait-kun.

I will assume I believe you. Please present an alternative for me to consider instead.

>>1055539
not bait-kun, but ToS, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc. y'know, huge brokerages with years of a solid track record.

not saying robinhood is bad, it just seems like its for poorfags who can't invest more than a few grand. which imo, isn't even worth it and could be better used to build a business.

>>1055555
I agree, who /options/ here? Rh noobs dont know stocks are only part of the puzzle

How do dividends work with RH? Is there a way to have your dividends automatically reinvested?

>>1055579
they are added to your account as funds. You have to reinvest them yourself.

>>1055597
How big of a disadvantage is that if I plan to invest in dividend stocks? Isn't there a bonus to having it done automatically?

>>1054984
im RUSS so..

What are the opinions on GBSN?

>>1055697
Dont

>>1055555

I mean, it's a barebones trading platform is NYSE only mostly with minimal fees, which is as clear as they make it. It's not a scam or anything.

If you want the big options, by all means go for it. But that doesn't invalidate Robinhood as a trading platform. You would need a lot more evidence to prove that.

if only I had put some stock in my list today

>tfw west coastfag
>tfw late riser

>>1055687
Slight to no disadvantage. With traditional brokerage you have to pay for each trade. Automatic reinvesting basically makes those trades free. But robinhood has free trades to begin with so it is not a problem. The only thing is that you cannot buy fractional shares as a reinvestment program could give you, so you just have to hoard dividends/add funds till you can pick up more share(s).

>>1054925
Suck Dicks.

>>1055746
Sounds like a good way to keep you in the app constantly. What about DRIPs? Dont those usually give a considerable discount?

>>1055555
I don't invest on RH, you flaming retard. I've never held anything on RH for over a few months. Nobody here is putting money in the fucking sp500 and letting it sit. This is all about memes and sweet trading days.
Nobody is pretending we're some elite group of traders; but unless you're some millionaire rich gag, you're talking out of your ass if you don't think commission hurts profits.
If im gonna buy AMD and sell it in 4 months, im not going to use my amritrade account.
I have one, but not for that kind of thing. I will however use the resources that TDA gives me for whatever I need. I will also use it to do my actual longterm investing. Not everything in the market is investments, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing indexes jump and drop like 3% every other day. You seem to assume that everyone here sits on robinhood alone with all their savings and invests for years or something

Just gonna repost what I posted in the other thread:

Post 1:
I would warn anyone with any sense to not join this group of misfits.

They are working with under 100k combined AUM and cannot hold their emotions when day-trading, the only sort of trading they do.

Not only this, but what you're doing is against the Securities and Exchange Commission's policies.

Post 2:
You all pick one stock and buy it at the same time and sell it at the same time.

Here is a paraphrased, yet accurate, generic chat:
a: What's on the watch-list boys?
b: FREE
a: When do I get in?
b: At open
c: Got it.
d: How many shares?
b: As many as you can afford.
(Later)
b: Alright, time to unload boys.
b: Sell FREE now
a,c,d: On the way, hope RH fills my order.

>>1056502
And I'll respond the same,

there is no semblance of trading at similar times.
No pump and dump.
And Yes we have some beginners, who are learning.

We argue about different stocks, go in and out whenever we personally decide.
We couldn't reach that level of organization nor agreement if we tried.

You claim we have emotional traders yet are completly organized?

You're clearly an idiot and sadly are an emo little bitch,
you must have been picked on a lot in high school.

Heard from another thread it might be a ploy to scam babby investors or something. I haven't actually dumped money in until I've done more research.

>>1057730
I thought the hold was because of my age (19). They asked me for a picture of my ID and my SSN card yet still nothing.

I've heard the same, plus it's a relatively new app which people really don't know a ton about.

>>1057746
It might be. I also used a credit card since I was 18 and haven't missed any payments so my credit history is in the excellent range right now which might have helped things along.

I don't remember getting asked a picture ID though. That's weird.

>>1054853
So I just made my first trade on robinhood.

Did some reading about some penny stocks and chose the one I think will go up most in the next couple days.

I am going to do some actually research in the mean time, but I thought I could post my selection here and recieve feedback.

I bought at open and it immediately went down 14%

>>1059849
> down 14%
You might want to learn about stop losses lad.
Even if you wanted to stick with it.
Selling at -5% then buying back up at the bottom would be better than taking the whole -14% loss.

>>1054853
What about Canada?

If you're looking for a long that gives chill dividends and is relatively cheap at the moment, go for BAC. It's a too big to fail so it won't get much worse, pretty much only up for the long. Plus dividend.

>>1059887
I think BAC might go sub 10 this year. I would look to get long at 7-8.

>>1059896
I highly doubt it'll drop that much. You could maybe wait for another 10% drop but banks are pretty stable relative to other industries at the moment

The one area that might cause a serious drop would be if they're not prepared for all the energy firms to default on their loans, but that's a problem for every bank and most have an action plan in place and funds set aside

Stupid stock question: If a stock is supposed to be the average price people are currently willing to put down on a company. So let's assume that all buyers are retarded and the company announces its sales have halfed, but everybody heres this and decides to pay twice as much for the stock as normal. Is such a thing possible, or is a stocks value actually linked to the companies performance outside of the publics perception of the performance? (outside of defualting of course.)

>>1059914
Stock is just a piece of the company and the amount you pay has nothing to do with their actual performance.

The scenario you mentioned is really common too. Last week a shitty oil report sent oil stocks to the moon for seemingly no reason. Ironically enough it probably jumped from people covering shorts though.

Furthermore, companies like twitter are valued at billions if you add up stocks, but they hardly make any revenue at all.

>>1056502
A bunch of us were burned on ASTI so no one dabbles on penny stocks anymore.

>>1059900
Not stable enough for me, breh. Will see what happens.

I entered a LONG position in DWTI instead of YOLOing this week

>>1059973
Nice, bro.

Oh yeah Apple coming down.

>>1059865
What's the catch to stop loss? Is there fees for it?

>>1059983
There's no fees or anything.
The catch is that it could hit your stoploss for a minute, get sold, then skyrocket 10000000% and you lose out from not holding. Although, I could probably count the number of times this has happened to me with my dick.

Unless you play around with extremely volatile stocks it's a good idea to have a set stop loss to prevent you from hemorrhaging money.

If you're still scared of losing out, you can try what I do and set a single stock to stop loss and evaluate whether you think it will rebound when you get the notification that it triggered.

>>1059997
This. It happens all the time. Stop loss gets triggered then it bounceeeeeeeeesssss.

One share of DWTI haha.

Nothing wrong with one share of anything. Gains r gains

Bought and sold TVIX all day, made $15. Am I memeing right

Hey so I can't remember if I told you guys about the short squeeze on oil. But that's what I believe happened recently with that 17% jump on oil. Now I think the dropping will continue

>>1060067
AMD might be a good one with their new tech thats coming out

>>1059516
I dont have a twitter but I'll make one for that

>>1060067
I'm no expert, but it seems unwise to get both AMD and Nvidia, since they're direct competitors in a market of 2? I mean, when one goes up, the other will likely go down, right?

>>1060099
Not necessarily

They both could go up if they get contracts in fields they don't compete in

I'm in the WAVX meme. Wish me luck.

>>1060101
>>1060099
from what I understand, and correct me if I'm retarded, even if they directly compete with each other doesn't necessarily mean when one goes up the other goes down and vice versa. I mean I guess unless one goes up as a direct result of cutting into the other's sales or something

Why is SPDC on Robinhood not changing? Just went through a dip and not reflecting actual positive changes that occurred since then on my app.

>>1060325
How long did it take? I've been waiting a week

>>1060379
Mine took a month, I had to send a message telling them about it and two days later I was approved.

So send a message after 5 business days and it might speed up the process.

>>1060417
Damn guys, that sucks. I applied today and got approved in like an hour

always ALWAYS use limit buy / sell

never use market sell on robinhood

they will fuck you big time

>>1060541
What's the difference? Sorry, total noob here. Literally just started looking into this shit and I know next to nothing about the whole process.

>>1060552

every stock has a 'bid' price, an 'ask' price, and the last traded price

for example see my image, the current quote for MDLZ stock (mondelez, big food company)

If I buy one share of MDLZ at market price, I will pay $41.06
If I sell one share of MDLZ at market price, I will get $39.87
The 'current price' of MDLZ listed is $40.20

Robinhood does not show you the ask / bid price, you only see the last trade price.

So you might be holding your share of MDLZ and see that its up to 40.20. you press market sell because youre lazy and you only get 39.87


Limit orders you actually specify the price you are willing to sell/buy at

>>1060570
That makes sense. Thanks anon.

This is the most correct answer. Two or three weeks ago TVIX was a solid buy every day. Now every morning it's "China shit the bed again, all hell's breaking loose! TVIX train now boarding for the ort cloud" and every afternoon forums and boards like this are littered with corpses crying about how they got fucked because the market is recovering even though they don't think it should be.

Who gives a fuck what robinhood shows you, we've gone over a hundred million times by now that you use something else for data, and use limit buys and sells on robinhood, jeez.
Unless robinhood doesnt sell or buy at your limits, it makes no difference between using robinhood, or using another broker, when it comes to basic buying and selling of shares.

>>1063512
Could be a correction, since it an apple tier meme stock that now is in yough competition. Looks like you are fucked.

>>1062802
Are you down today? Because markets are down and you invested in practically everything

>>1063514
I don't fully understand them. They seem very helpful but I don't want to use it without the knowledge. I just use limit buy and sale after looking at the previous days graphs

>>1063533
stop loss is like a safety net
you buy a stock at 100$, then you set your stop loss at 90$
means the shares will sell if it hit $90, limiting your overall losses if the stock was actually on its way down all the way to 80.

>>1063544
That's really neat thank you. Time to jump on EXXI

>>1063549
There is a caveat to >>1063544, if the stock dips to $85, but rebounds to $200, it would have automatically sold your shares at $90.

88KB, 540x960px

>>1063549
yes its neat

however some people subscribe to the thought that "its not a loss till you sell" , and they would rather hold it while it goes all the way to 80 in the hopes it will come all the way back up.

I am very much in favor of limiting my losses and taking the small hit now rather than the big hit later when I realize its never coming back up. I usually set my stops at around 5% below my cost. Ive been burned by this too though, because my stops get hit and i sell all shares early in the day, and later the price has jumped way high but I dont get any of that because im already out. sometimes its best to just hold

>>1063561
I'm doing penny stocks right now since I don't have enough at the moment to get into anything above a dollar. I'm looking to learn to get at least get a 5% profit before dumping ~$100k later down the line (lub workers comp)

How much did you drop?

I'm keep a close eye on TWTR and YHOO. Twitter's stocks are at an all time low (though it shot up today for some reason) and Yahoo might be replacing their currently shitty CEO soon. Waiting to see what it does to their stock.

>>1063759
Aren't there a ton of articles and people talking about Twitter becoming a penny stock in the near future?

>>1063764
Wouldn't know for sure. It's why I'm not buying anything until something changes in their staff (that and I'm still waiting for my bank account to be verified).

>>1063423

This.

$9.99 * 95 * 2 = $1898.10

Plus it was fun picking 95 stocks, basically creating my own custom ETF. I'm sure every ETF includes at least a few companies I have no interest in.

I use Ameritrade as well. I'll be using it for shorting, OTC and low volume stocks.

>>1063474

I definitely overpaid on some trades. Robinhood does limit orders 5% over market, so I only bought stocks with decent volume.

If I had placed my own limit orders on Ameritrade instead, I would have saved maybe a penny per share on average.

>>1063561
Hey anon, good post. Some advice though, 5% is too low if you're picking up good stocks. I can see five points for the penny stuff but this is where screening for quality picks come into play. I usually set mine at 25 to 30 percent. On the rare occasion it gets down to the range but hasn't hit the stop, I really study and think about what happened as I track my picks and the market every day. If it's a good stock and the story tells me that it's going to go back up anyway, I just double down at that point to get my money back. That's only happened a few times but it worked every time.

>>1063969
I would get sick if my holdings dropped 25% I can't live with those losses. Better to get out at 5% and watch it fall, then catch the knife as they say when it hits bottom

Hey, guys. I'm having a problem.

Now it's saying that it's sent two transactions to my bank account.
For verification I need to tell them the transaction number in cents.
Thing is, I don't see any transaction in my bank account.
What's the deal? Do I just need to wait? I got accepted yesterday.
