OT: Stock trading

[CONN78SEJ]

Play puts. A guy I know is sitting on 50% cash for when the market crashes he can buy. Still plenty of money to be made but like you said it's tiring with all the BS.

Crypto should be going on a run soon but you never know.

The only people that make money on puts are the people that write them and sell them.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Why not short the market now? Cover when it hits bottom and go long when things are cheap again.

That’s what the guy I know is doing

 

[Jaker]

Keep buying these dips boys and you will be OK, don't be paperhand pu---y's LOL

NEGG with earnings, sold off a little, good upside potential.

With the volatility, hope everyone has tight stop losses set up.

Sold out of stocks Wednesday thankfully. I think crypto was about to go on a big run but huge stock losses spread to that as well. I think at times we’ve seen people leave tech stocks and go into crypto but when people are losing big money on stocks, unfortunately crypto takes the hit too. Here’s hoping both stabilize early next week.

Nope my $link dudes have been loading up with link under 20 again

 

[the Q]

Ok seriously where can I buy nano? Everywhere google says they can when I look them up, seems to not have it.

agreed looked awfully cheap still in the 30s to mid 30s before vs ATH and look at it now

I give you and the marines credit, I’ve lost hope in this project. Focused more on MATIC, AVAX, SOL, ETH. Everyone talks about LINK’s massive potential but 53 to 19 while plenty of others made ATHs seems to be a bit of a red flag. It’s almost the same price as it was in July, 2020.

Like to get everyones feelings about Physical platinum with respect to gold or silver. I like the contrarian play here personally. Curious what others think or know going forward in the next 5-10 years. Ive heard hydrogen fuel cell adoption could make this huge but not sure how likely hydrogen fuel cell cars to really be adopted in us vs electric.

Nope. Haven't sold anything. Just riding it. My sense is that this is both the usual seasonal profit taking and a reaction to Omicron. Yet my sense is that Omicron may be a gift. There are indications that it is less virulent than Delta. So if it replaces Delta, that's a huge win.

I’m in the tech sector and have been in the fuel cells business before. I personally do not invest in hydrogen…it’s go too much working against it, it just takes too much energy to produce, then liquify it and keep it in that form. Metal hydrides haven’t really advanced much either. It’s a little bit like the HD DVD vs. Blue Ray battle 15 years ago. Battery EVs have won and will only get better

fwiw, the former CEO of Scania is building the first new steel mill in Europe in decades in Sweden near the Arctic Circle. It will be powered by liquid hydrogen.

Sweden will soon be home to a major steel factory powered by the 'world's largest green hydrogen plant'

The iron and steel sector has a significant environmental footprint.

What would everyones contrarian plays be right now, if we could each contribute one?

 

[the Q]

Altria, as theyre in an unfavorable market, but they’re well run and they already have a major interest in weed. And plenty of cash or liquid assets to generate cash, on hand.

Yeah, I think that’s viable. Cars…it’s too hard and honestly, dangerous. Honda was the one company that tried to make it work.

Nice bounce back today. Even Fauci, who likely cautions people against walking across the street said there is some data suggesting Omicron is less virulent. For him to say that out loud, even with caveats, suggests there is something to it. If it bears out, it goes from “oh no, a horrible vaccine evading variant!” to “Thank God, a less harmful variant that can replace Delta”.

 

[Jaker]

I think we may be side ways until the new year. Omicron is a nothing burger, market will probably wait and see if BBB plan fails to pass.

New to the board and crypto...

What are the pros for crypto long-term?

What would be the reason crypto fails long-term?

 

[Zionn]

What are the pros for crypto long-term? Blockchain technology is here forever and will only continue to improve and impact all aspects of our lives.

What would be the reason crypto fails long-term? Meteor hits Earth. Honestly, I don’t see all of crypto failing but majority of the current token/projects won’t survive. Would suggest doing your homework and exploring crypto that offers utilization/purpose

Just $0.02

Someone here mentioned LWLG a few months back. Today's was it's highest close ever. Everyone should at least take a look at this one. Low share count, no debt, game changing technology.

Agree that blockchain platforms like you mentioned above are the best investments in crypto right now. Eventually projects that allow for interoperability across blockchains as well as oracles will have their day in the sun too.

I see LINK as a really safe bet with huge potential down the road. They completely dominate their space as oracles that allow blockchains to use real world data and aren’t going anywhere. Some of the platforms will eventually fall off and Chainlink is involved in virtually every one so you’re safe almost no matter what.

LINK price at make-or-break point as Chainlink aims to secure $2.27 trillion crypto economy

Bumping this. 2022 is here. Thoughts heading into the new year?

On the Crypto front I asked Balaji what to read and he suggested this. So I did. https://messari.io/pdf/messari-report-crypto-theses-for-2022.pdf

on the stock front, I honestly think 2022 is shaping up to be potentially pretty wild. Lots of volatility. So my only thought is to avoid individual stocks unless you feel really good about the long term.
