    Just started trading in the Nadex market. Fast action without a lot of capital investment . Check it out . You can open a trial account for practice for free and open an active account for only 100 dollars. A lot of fun for the degenerate gamblers like me . Have to have action some where.

    Also, like sports betting, before making a bet you better know what the market is thinking, only way to do that is use stock twits and read up on your stocks there to gauge the overall feeling

    At this point I hope you guys know to fade everything jj says.

    I've made a career out of charts. If it was 50%, everything would just stagnate.

    I think with enough research and pattern recognition in terms (psychological game companies play). whether they are going out of business or forcing people to sell low and they buy low.etc so whats some hot under $3 stock lol.

    On the stock simulator I made a terrible bet on $108 Netflix many months ago then yesterday it reached $110 so I sold it.
    The good stocks I bet on were on Gold stocks and Vegas casino stocks when they were low and it's still rising high.

    That's so wrong I don't even know where to start. People are more attracted to sports betting because it requires less work: Basically, your choices are Team A or Team B, over or under. In the market, you actually have to have some smarts.

    Quang I have always been into stocks, but within the last 2 months I am doing more research on it then I do on sports. Open up an account on robinhood. No fees. I have been playing the gold and dust game for a few months now and have been doing pretty good. Also check out cldx and pbr

    Bro, I think you are on to something. Especially if the summit fails this weekend( which I think it will) Oil plunging, will raise gold and other metals value. Investing into gold or silver directly requires a shit ton of money, but with these smaller company. We can gamble for it success for the wave maybe? I will follow your other two companies, but they are too expensive for my bankroll. Thanks for insight Jose!( I'm starting to learn again, it's complicated). Could you elaborate more on the Gold and Dust game?

    Yea I mentioned trading in a thread a few months back and got trolled pretty hard - guess you'll get that w/any thread though. I like the thread - keep eye on GNK (currently at $.64), could get to $1+ quickly, chart is a beauty. I play in mostly under $5 stocks, simply because you can find amazing deals on stocks that have been beaten down for no reason at all (short raid, pending "litigation", etc) - once the overreaction is done, it's set up to move quickly and extremely profitably. Just my opinion - best of luck.

    They are ETF's and are opposite of each other. So basically dust goes against gold but 3 times as hard. And nugt goes with gold but 3x. The best way to play it is look at the graph on gold and follow the trend. I am personally hoping for a shitty day from gold Monday since I have a good amount of dust. Plus I sold all my gold stocks on Friday.

    I am not a daily trader, I have my roth and I have my dividend reinvestment program (drip) account with stocks. About 25 stocks set up 5% capital in each. More for retirement as my business requires I have liquid ready at hand which this kind of investment is certainly not. You can play the market pretty safely (without paying a terrible amount of attention to it), it's not exciting but it's effective. Saying it's 50% is troll bait and no more.

    Hamm of $CLR on CNBC today saying oil will be 60 a barrel by year's end.


    What a laugh. I remember first time I saw him on CNBC I could tell he didn't believe a word he was saying as he said oil would be back to over $90 from $50.. lol

    And then Cramer had some guy named Bruno(?) on who said "no chance", and Bruno has a track record of nailing it. This was after T Boone Pickens said it was going back to $80.

    I don't think so. Just keep doing your research and follow the charts. I am thinking of buying more gold tomorrow.

    yeah one of the guy's who was the first to call oil's drop also reinstated his bearish views for the future.

    It is crazy people are buying into oil because US production is down and Kuwait is on strike lol..


    US production is down, not because of demand, but because of price. Price is down because of oversupply especially from countries pumping at a near loss. Therefore IF prices magically rose, global demand sure isn't going to, US producers would come back online rapidly thus putting oversupply issues right back into the market.


    Then you have Kuwait who is on strike.. lol well strikes end so anyone staking an investment because of that is just wishful.

    You have Iran and Saudia Arabia who will never agree to a deal and what most people are forgetting about is Libya's production. Libya used to produce over 1.5mbp/d and people just are not aware that they will be back online sooner than later.

    I like the trend on it Brock. As a day trader its so much easier to make money. The key is to have that 25k though... I still think gold is whats going to make a shitload of money in the next few months.

    WWE/McGregor -- McGregor at his fighting weight is about the same size as Rey Mysterio Jr. Don't get your hopes up.

    Oil - This is actually why I use charts to trade oil, because the fundamentals are too convoluted. Even when they're not, the big banks take the market wherever they want at first to F investors, then price eventually lands where it's supposed to.

    It's the total of the annual dividend payment, not quarterly, that's been raised. But I'm with you — bingo!; I began a dividend portfolio in the fall of 2015 and wish I'd done this much earlier. It's been freakin' awesome.
