Yet the index going down. Are these institutional investors dumping at street?
Highest recorded volume on NASDAQ in history
This real?
>this being printed all over press
>Dave Portnoy shilling stocks to millions of his folllowers
>record Robinhood activity
>prevalent 'the prices are just forward looking 3-4 quarters' 'it's all priced in' narratives
>sudden emergence of youtube influencers who now talk about '10 BEST STOCKS TO RETIRE AT 30' 'MY PASSIVE INCOME PORTFOLIO' with thousands of views
I don't know if the ride is over. Just be careful lads. It strangely reminds me crypto euphoria in late 2017.
Yes, search for !TOVOLNAS on stockcharts.com or just look up the volume on WSJ or any other place. Funnily enough these are not MOO-MOO contrarians simply shorting QQQ. The volume on FAANG and QQQ was average. It seems like big players offloading many, many positions.
Is there no way to see what they were offloading??
Probably you should be able to get put/call ratio with Bloomberg terminal (that I don't have access to though) but this won't capture just ordinary emptying of balance sheets by huge pension funds and others.
Is there any real reason to be worried about a bunch of boomers and pencil pushers freaking out tho?
But who was buying?
I wouldn't be surprised if investment banks and pension funds conspired together to dump as much as possible on the little guy (via pensions) before another leg down.
If there ever will be another leg down, that is....
> Did you buy the dip?
> Stocks only go up.
At the moment I think that most of people feel subconsciously like sitting on a barrel of dynamite anyway. Fear is way stronger emotion than greed and it won't take a lot for all of the people who jumped into buying everything in last couple weeks to sell their holdings really quick. I think it will be enough to print a big red candle tomorrow and let it sink over the weekend actually. Will see tomorrow morning.
> Stocks only go up.
ACKSCHUALLY
I feel like 'street' is still in a frenzy of buying; see We regardless closed in red on the highest historical volume. Which tells me that something big is about to happen.
I've been observing twitter and some other echo chambers that have been very bearish recently. It seems like the pain of bears is reaching limits and some otherwise well composed people throw some hysteric tantrums that 'market is disconnected from reality' and all of these ironic passive-aggressive comments about stocks only going up. It seems like we might be reaching the tipping point for the pain of bears.
>At the moment I think that most of people feel subconsciously like sitting on a barrel of dynamite anyway.
All seasonally adjusted 21,487,000 of them.
i know someone who is dumb and made 900k buying this dip, while i was cautiously waiting on the sidelines. dumb money wins again
>something big is about to happen
What can realistically happen, though? The market is pumped full of cash and there are actually a ton of businesses doing well despite corona
Why the fuck wouldn't you? Index funds literally and mathematically can not fail unless a literal commie is elected.
That's what I think will eventually fuel panic selling if we start going down.
This. It's not like I'm mad - I'm sitting on cash mostly and made some profits - bit it just feels wrong. I'm literally just waiting to hear from my mom over phone about my cousins who made 200% on stocks and all this kind of stories you were hearing during the crypto run in 2017.
Don't get me wrong bro, I'm not advocating here any multi-year bear market. I talk about way shorter time frames here and just think we are about to some long-awaited move down soon.
This has been going on since 2009.
More than a decade without a siginificant correction in the big indices let alone a downturn.
Entire financial careers have been built upon peoples experience that things only go up and up and up and up.
And all of them - well most of them - have been prooven correct in this assumptions.
People who thought too much and looked to close were being priced out of everything by people who didn't and just bought.
However, always remember:
>P&L is unrealized
>gains only happen after the trade
So if they're still holding, they still only hold stock.
Kudos to those who actually cashed out and are living the high life now.
I'm honestly ready for another leg down if it happens, I'll just accumulate some more cheap shit and keep riding. Assuming, of course, all the companies I've invested in don't go bankrupt
This picture actually paints a very very dark future.
A future where the comon person is so priced out of everything that many will have to pool resources together to own just one full stock.

FUCK THIS GAY EARTH
Imagine being the cuck who bought the top of the tech bubble 2000.
What about investors who suffer from acrophobia?
Put/Call Ratio at 29th most overbought day in 20 years, a 0.60% frequency event.

Simple solution:

Can you explain in layman's terms
Stocks go down sometimes. Sometimes for years. If you don't get this. Then you are reason there are bubbles. There is a good chance that stocks will be lower in a few years, but also higher 10+ years from now. So either get a long term perspective or reduce your risk because you can loose money in stocks. It is possible even if you haven't invested before 2010.
>puts = selling stocks
>calls = buying stocks
>if there is x people buying and y selling then the Put/Call ratio is defined as x/(x+y) so in other words what part of all trades are the selling trades
>if there's the same number of buying and selling people then x = y and the ration is x/(x+y) = 0.5
>if there's more people selling stocks than buying the ratio will be higher than 0.5
>if there's more people buying stocks than selling the ratio will be smaller than 0.5
>now it's exceptionally low
It means the stonk market is going to crash. Sell everything now and buy when it’s much cheaper
The market has until July, I've looked at the computer projections. Market is fucking FAKE.
Short the fucking market at 28,000, all of us collectively. Are we forgetting about inverting yield curves and the corporate debt level becoming too high?
Fuck Uber, fuck Airbnb, fuck Boeing for being pumped after I already made 1,000 off of it. Fuck this market. Fuck the occultist ridden NWO abusing their power and hoarding resources from the working people. Fuck the political system that has failed us with citizens United. Fuck the political actions groups organizing these fucking riots and instigating. Fuck Jeffery Epstein. Fucking the corruption of our youth. Fuck Donald Trump, fuck Hillary Clinton studying fucking voodo and multiple other subjects.
Edward Snowden should be fucking free. We have the right to know, it is fucking INSANE that this is fucking NORMAL.
Fuck Monsanto, fuck the lobbying pipeline from Israel who is the #1 country for foreign lobbying to push us for their agenda in the middle east.
Fuck the clear psyop that is the altright to divide and conquer. Quit. Being. Fucking. Pawns.
Fuck the libertarian party created by the Koch brothers, fuck (((Peter Schiff))), don't forget that you can best quantify a voter on race and gender, then comes which state they live in.
Fuck this. Fuck this. What fucking shit show was I just born into? What the fuck. Fuck you oldfags who clearly saw the degeneration of our political system and didn't fucking riot. Fuck America not protecting her businesses, fuck the Democrats for supporting child labor in China, fuck Trump for pretending to protect American factories while it is a total facade. Fuck the intelligence agencies. Fuck the state for charging me $500 dollars for parking in the wrong spot.
Fuck it. I'm making money to be fucking safe, because GOD knows what the fuck is going to happen. If YOU are not fucking worried, you should be.
God fucking bless America. Don't forget child laborers are making 3 cents on an 80 dollar Nike product. But, that is the cool liberal brand.. bahahahah fuck this. I'm going insane. I need my meds, I can't do this shit anymore. People are fucking fools.
What difference does it make if people buy fractional or full shares? Regular people already do this indirectly when buying into ETFs or mutual funds. Fractionals just make it easier for small investors to get ownership. The only downside here is voting rights, which are irrelevant whether you own Two (2) shares of AAPL or 0.125.
Yield curve and like 15 other indicators basically calling for a recession. Apparently, Zig Forums forgot that and we are in a new paradigm.
Haven't the moneybrains been talking about how this is going to be a recession for months now??
>Probably you should be able to get put/call ratio
low iq here
once you get that.. which insights can you grab?
Any indicator at extreme can be interpreted in a contrarian way: if we have an unprecedented value then it should go back to normal soon. And roughly saying in this case this value had only 0.60% probability of happening so it means that it's very unusual and should be going back to normal soon. In this case going back to normal means an increased number of puts i.e. short sellers of the market.
tl;dr we might be reaching peak euphoria buying
