so biz, redpill me on the stockmarket. i really know nothing

Fuck the whole thing in the ass and buy Ethereum

it's like a casino for people with autism

Stocks are units of ownership of large corporations

Stockholders get to vote on business issues and are also entitled to a share of the profits

In the stock market these units of ownership are bought and sold through a bid and offer system

>>1086053
Was looking for more information about the operations of the markets
>is there specific operating hours? I heard of after hours trading etc, not sure what it means
>and which are the major stock exchanges in the USA?

>>1086052
You're an idiot

Yes there are strict opening hours

There are 2 major markets in the US, the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ

>>1086050
this desu family

>>1086063
what hours do they open and close?
any cool terms or lingo traders use?

>>1086048
Buy market funds that represent a lot of stocks in one bundle, then hold 20-30 years for an average return of 6-8% a year over the lifetime of the stock.

If you day trade, you're an idiot.

If you buy one share that you think is going to "really skyrocket" (and you don't have serious insider information) you're an idiot.

If you buy a stock and don't hold it for more than five years, you're an idiot.

>redpilled.

>>1086067

I don't know what the hours are desu, I am not in the US.

There is tonnes of lingo and it will take you years to learn it.

This is all solid advice unless you are going to get in to leveraging and make trading your full time job

If you are going to do that do it as a profession, not with your own money

>>1086076
>doesnt even know when the exchange opens/closes
>gives advice anyway

>>1086083

If you trade in the way >>1086069 recommends you don't need to know when the markets open and close, because you're not selling any time soon

anyone have any cool lingo or terms actual traders use?
references to either the stock or traders themselves

>>1086089
Learn Hebrew

>>1086089

leveraging is a good one I used earlier

here are some more

>hedging
>position
>short and long
>IPO
>stock split
>ETF
>default
>derivative
>tranche
>credit default swap
>collateralized debt obligation
>mortgage backed security

also watch the big short and wolf of wall st, lots of lingo in there

>>1086101
Thanks, any nicknames for good traders or high performers? looking for a biz name and looking for a specific term

>>1086108

Big swinging dicks. But there's no way you're ever going to make money with that attitude. The stock market isn't a club for rich people. It's fucking gladiatorial combat. Make sure no one has to scrape you off a sidewalk with how much you lose buying stocks to "sound cool."

I'm looking to offer them a new service, so I am really looking for a term to draw in the big players.

What's the best site to get opening and closing stocks from the NYSE and NASDAQ?
>A website where its uptime is guaranteed and could be used to display/be used on another website

>I'm looking to offer them a new service, so I am really looking for a term to draw in the big players.

>>1086184
