Learn about Simple Moving Averages (SMA) and that will give you a nice boost right off the bat. 5/10/20 day for short term. 50/100/200 for long term. Once you learn SMA, you'll see how most stocks bounce or drop when they reach their SMA's.

:deadmanny: It’s a percentage of people employed in day to day life that exist simply to show decision makers graphs that no one actually making decisions actually understands. Just some simple up is good down is bad green is good red is bad...

The real technical intelligent types are stuck in a windowless room somewhere plugging away at data. Just so the owners handsome son or pretty daughter can take credit for everything

If Melvin capital and the other short sellers failed it would have brought down the entire market so DTCC raised the collateral requirements to 100% to cause a domino effect and stop GME trading and let Melvin and them get out from under the pressure.

If Melvin fails they default on all their obligations.
The brokers have to step in and cover all Melvin's obligations.
The brokers can't afford that so the clearing houses have to step in for them.
The clearing houses can't afford that and at that point you sell a stock you get nada.
At that point I believe SIPC has to step in freeze everything and pay people out up to $500K of their holdings and the rest is lost because the insurance only goes that high.

So essentially the central clearing house stepped in and caused a chain reaction to save Melvin and other short sellers and thus the market. Imagine the suffrage if that didn't happen.

Like I said the government needs to insert themselves into this now. These WSB cats are playing with the detonator of a nuclear bomb.

Can one of you explain this to me. So I prioritized being debt free before I invested (not counting the work TSP stuff) but my understanding is that a lot of people are investing off of margin which is adding additional debt which is backed by the stocks you actually own outright so they allow you to borrow additional money to invest.

What is the benefit for doing margin investing? I’m thinking I’m looking at it in a bad light because I was always told to be debt free before investing. But I’m viewing margin as me acquiring additional debt. How do you make margin benefit you? I just use the cash I have or have deposited.
