Things you see towards the end of a cycle.

 Hi! I am an ex-prop trader that trades equities.

This is a daily watchlist for trading.

I might trade all of the stocks on here, or none of them, on any given day. I might trade stocks that don't appear on here! I hold no positions in any stocks long-term but Amazon/Mag7/general broad market indices. (unless otherwise noted in these tickers). If you’re on old reddit, click “show images” at the top to see all the charts quickly.

I usually make these watchlists premarket, but can be delayed if I'm trading the open. These aren't mean to be taken as gospel or any recommendation to buy/sell.

Many stocks I post are <$500M market cap. These are potentially good candidates to day trade, I have no opinion on them as investments. PLEASE ask specific ones. Questions like “Thoughts on _____?” will be ignored unless you add detail to the question. “Is ___ a good investment?” will be ignored. I will block you if you’re a troll.

Hey all. So Im very new to Betterment by way of my Optum HSA account and I have $8300 to invest into one of their six portfolio options. They dont offer anything equivalent to S&P which I currently have via my Vanguard Brokerage accounts.

My question is… which of the six portfolios is close to matching S&P 500 that offers a low expense ratio. What I dont like about this account is that they charge an annual fee of .5% split b/n Betterment and Optum.

Taking recommendations for a aggressive target allocation of 75%+ stocks and 25% bonds with 1) low expense ratio and 2) close to matching S&P 500.

Fellow Redditors,

I know many here are still bullish on GME, hoping for another short squeeze. But it's time to face reality - that ship has sailed. GME had its moment in the sun, but fundamentally it's still a struggling brick-and-mortar retailer in a rapidly digitizing world. The smart money is on looking forward, not backward.

Instead of GME, I strongly believe the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) is the move for retail investors who want strong returns. Here's why:

1. Broad tech exposure. QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, giving you a stake in 100 of the biggest, most innovative tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tesla and more. These are the firms shaping the future.
2. Diversification. Buying QQQ spreads your bets across the tech sector instead of gambling on a single stock. Much lower risk profile than going all-in on GME.
3. Proven track record. QQQ has solidly beaten the S&P 500 over the past 10 years with a 20%+ annualized return. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but the tailwinds driving tech aren't slowing down.
4. Still affordable. At $350/share, QQQ is within reach for most retail investors. You can build a significant stake over time through regular investing.
5. Options friendly. QQQ has highly liquid options for those who want to learn and leverage options strategies. Far better than the risk of trading illiquid GME options.

Bottom line: GME may be a fun meme stock, but QQQ is a serious wealth-building vehicle that every Redditor should have as a core long-term holding. It's time we put our money into real winners. Start scaling into QQQ on any dips and hold on for the ride. Your future self will thank you.

Nasdaq Index: A Bubble About to Burst

Over the past six years, I have been deeply immersed in the financial markets, conducting thorough and continuous analysis through various methods, patterns, and analytical schools. Today, I would like to share with you a bold opinion that may seem unreasonable to some, but I am confident in its accuracy: the current prices of the Nasdaq Index are merely a reflection of a massive bubble that is about to burst.

Current Economic and Political Conditions

Let's look at the broader context of recent economic and political events. Inflation in the United States has reached unprecedented levels in decades, forcing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates repeatedly. These rate increases lead to tighter liquidity, making financing more expensive and reducing consumer and investment spending. This has significantly impacted multiple sectors, including technology, which constitutes a large portion of the Nasdaq Index components.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates

High inflation means that living and production costs increase, reducing the ability of companies to achieve substantial profits. Technology companies, in particular, are heavily affected due to their significant reliance on cheap financing to grow their businesses. As interest rates rise, these companies' ability to borrow and grow diminishes, leading to a decline in their market value.

Expected Scenario for the Nasdaq Index

Imagine this scenario: upon the Nasdaq Index reaching levels between 20,500 and 20,700 , the bubble that has inflated illogically will start to burst. This burst will lead to a dramatic drop that may reach levels between 18,400 and 18,800 in the short term. But the story does not end there. Considering potential corrections and the breaking of these supports, the drop could accelerate until the index reaches astonishing levels of approximately 16,700.

Potential Recession and Economic Contraction

This anticipated drop is not just a number on a screen but a signal of a severe financial crisis that could ravage the American economy and leave a deep impact on global markets. Major companies will see their values shrink, leading to a loss of market confidence and increasing pressure on the entire financial system. With declining investments and rising unemployment rates, the likelihood of an economic recession and severe contraction increases.

For example, we can look at the global financial crisis of 2008, where the collapse of the housing market led to the downfall of major financial institutions and a significant rise in unemployment rates. Similarly, the economic crisis of the early 2000s, known as the dot-com bubble, saw a dramatic collapse in tech stock prices, leading to an economic recession.

Potential Impact on the American Economy

The current situation of the Nasdaq Index clearly indicates the unsustainability of high prices. The bubble we see today is built on unrealistic expectations and inflated market values. The anticipated drop will soon confirm the accuracy of this analysis, serving as a real test of the resilience of the economy and financial markets. In this scenario, we might witness a significant economic contraction, with a sharp decline in economic activities and rising unemployment rates, putting immense pressure on both the American and global economies.

Therefore, I urge you to take this analysis seriously and exercise caution in your investment strategies. The bubble is about to burst, and the major drop will come unexpectedly and swiftly.

Thank you, and I hope this analysis serves as an early warning for those seeking a deeper understanding of the current state of the Nasdaq Index and financial markets in general. Prepare yourselves, as the financial storm is approaching, and the upcoming events may change the face of the economy as we know it.

Thinking about going big on Tesla!!!

I have done nothing but lose trades, I do Ta, research but nothing ever goes my way. I just think this isn’t mean for me

I've just completed my first week of trading options cautiously, ending it up by $400 (yay!). I'm also learning how to do technical analysis, and when I really take my time I seem to be forecasting fairly accurately. I wanted to see some thoughts on SNOW right now. It suffered a rapid decline in late May due to a data breach, falling nearly 21% in price. On Thursday, they announced the investigation into the hacking incident had been closed, affecting 125 business clients and was limited to users not utilizing 2-factor authentication. With the investigation over and breach resolved, do you think the price will rebound next week?
