The Stock Market thread: BUY! BUY! BUY! Sell, sell, sell...

Cross as in drop below it? And this is bad because it means the mean of the last 50 days is lower than that of the prior 50, which could indicate a prolonged bear market?

Not inherently prolonged, but certainly bearish. Everything is either bull or bear. If the trend is up, bull. If the trend is down, bear. If it's wavering up and down without much real change, politician.

Chinas auto tariff move may be a big deal. Markets reflect that.

Might be an interesting day tomorrow. The Dow's 50-day simple moving average is about to cross the 100-day SMA. The S&P500's is threatening to do the same. It's doubtful anything will happen, but it could be an interesting day depending on how the hive mind reacts in a volatile market.

These are all trailing indicators and I should probably note that technical indicators are borderline voodoo.

You'd be surprised at how well the Fibonacci SMAs correlate. ;)

Dumb question, if one wanted to invest a couple hundred dollars into a stock, what's the best way to go about it? Not looking to be a stay-at-home day trader, just looking for somewhere to buy in and let it ride for a while. Something like E-Trade?

Backing-up aparch’s inquiry, heard an ad about RobinHood on a recent Spitin’ Chicklets episode. Does anyone have experience with this outfit... ‘yeah’ or ‘nay’?

I've had an E-Trade account for quite some time. I'm pleased with it. I don't trade a bunch, so I'm not spending a ton on commissions and fees.

I use Robinhood some. I’ve got most of my money in Vanguard, but I have maybe 5k deposited in Robinhood to play with. It’s fine, but I’ve heard the support is pretty ****ty if you do have a problem getting your account verified. I don’t trade options or buy on margin and just have the free account. For the free accounts they make money by collecting interest on your uninvested funds. They don’t offer DRIP or partial shares, and from what I’ve heard won’t because this means you’re more likely to have uninvested funds hanging around. They also hold your money for a few days after you sell before you can withdraw, and the free accounts hold all but $500 of your deposits for a few days before you can invest it. For the free stock buying apps, Robinhood seems to attract the traders and M4 the more long term investment types.

Anyone here invested in weed?

Not the baggie kind of investment.
 
Was looking at long term MRNA options and knew they were going to be expensive. A $150 call for 1/21/22 was trading as high as $53 last week. $150 1/21/23 was 50% higher than that. I know LEAPs tend to be expensive, as are high volatility stocks, but holy shit I didn't expect them to be this bad. That said, it's probably a perfectly reasonable price given its volatility. I've just never paid attention to prices before.
