Sick of being the kv wageslave that I am, its all or nothing now. I'm taking the fight straight to Mr Shekelberg...
If the S&P 500 doesn't rise to 2100 by this week making me well over 100k+ on margin, I'm heliuming myself
You can't make money if you helium yourself
>>1200161
>thinks he's fighting the jew by going long
>>1200161
>If I don't make a good return, I'm killing myself
>High-risk investments and buying on margin are a good fit for me.
Do you see the incongruity, anon?
how about just betting it on a sporting event? that way you base your life on something that happens with reason, such as one team beating another
To be honest, this sounds like a really bad decision, OP.
>>1200359
Why? There is nothing else left in life for me. Either I win or I helium. Simple as that
>>1200364
So, if you win, you're 100k ahead. Woo hoo, throw a party...
Not even close to worth it to gamble your complete financial future on.
Not only that, but you completely won't helium, that's just meaningless edgelord talk. You just simply be broke-ass and worse than you started.
>>1200161
op, you're only 8pts. away.
S&P is at 2092. surely we can get to 2100.
i just lost 1k this morning trying to short the s&p.
what are u trading? options? SPY?
I believe in you OP. To the moon!
>>1200161
Winning a (in the grand scheme of things) a measly $100k vs Pretty much throwing away a decent financial future. Sounds great anon
>>1200161
welp it's at 2090... you should have made a lot of money
you got really lucky. don't try this again :/
>>1200432
you dont know his trade. hard to say, but i believe it is a vertical spread. 2100 is full profit, and not sure of his break even.
Lol. I love it that you chose this moment of all to put all your life savings on the line. Perfect timing lol. Prepare the tank.
OP, the helium thing is just a meme. what you end up doing is sounding like a cartoon character while calling 911 and they will laugh at you
theres a insider meme called "donald ducks" among 911 call center workers because of it
>>1200161
How are you even going to buy a tank of helium if you spent all your money ?
can someone tell a noob how investing in S&P 500 works? I know its the 500 biggest stocks, but have op bought stocks in all 500 or what?
>>1200487
u can trade the actual S&P 500 itself through options. the symbol is SPX and it is the same symbol that is reported in news and stuff. SPX does not have shares instead it is actual cash that is being traded.
You can trade S&P 500 through an ETF like SPY. SPY has shares that you can buy and sell. You can also trade options on SPY.
Then you have the S&P futures. Symbol /ES on my platform. Also known as E-mini S&P 500 futures
>>1200161
OP faggot, you're 5 points away from your wish
>>1200161
>1 post by this ID
faggot OP probably off'd himself before reaping the rewards. what a cuck!
>>1200161
/biz/ noob here, even if it doesn't happen this week, couldn't OP just wait until the stock's inevitable rise to 2100? It may take longer than he's hoping but that will be an inevitable 100k waiting for him. Also, how much would he have had to invest to expect a possible margin of 100k?
>>1200364
Well if that is true you will notice soon that even if you win, you still have nothing.
So either you man up and change your life, or give me some because I am worth and will own this life.
>>1200479
Makes sense, since party grade helium is probably diluted
>>1200161
he has 700 USD on the S&P 500
>>1202135
He should have 100k now. Good for him.
>>1200161
yay OP. you did it!! :DDD
... Well op has balls of steel and brains of scrotums.
>tfw this actually worked
I might try it and take a nice long trip to Aruba
im going to need to see some proof, post portfolio
wait, what is going on in this thread?
did this guy realize the /biz/ dream? pls respon
is this stuff good for a first time investor?
>>1202401
Or lose all your money and kill yourself
>OP has disappeared
It's over folks, he is already dead.
testing
>>1200161
RIP faggot
>>1200317
>s&p500
>high risk investments
>>>/reddit/
>>1200479
Uh no. Modern helium tanks are much harder to suicide with, but they can still blow one of your lungs open, which is worse than lighting yourself on fire
>>1200161
it closed at 2095.6 today and there is an upswing in the forecast. stay bullish, fellow wage cuck.
>>1203124
>technical indicators
>random markets
>accurately predicting the future
Pick two
>>1200161
having 100k won't change your life you dumb faglord
>>1200479
there's some pasta around
>>1200161
Investment firms don't exist to make you money. They exist to pool together large amounts of money so the firm makes huge commissions.
OP is dead.
>>1204767
i guess so
>>1203302
I choose random markets and accurate predictions. How we doing this,pig entrails?
>>1203124
forgive me, but what's this software? bloomberg?
>>1204805
honestly you use the indicators that help you see patterns, set your stops and price goals, and just start the grind. apparently some tech. traders do this, give fuck-all about fundamentals, and do fine

Did OP succeeded or prematurely heliumed?
Good riddance
OP you're insane
I bet OP heliumed himself because he didn't actually make the trade but realized he would have been right if he did thus missing out on sick gains.
r.i.p op you were k00l
>>1200161
Op was Prince
>goodnight sweet p-
egh well sorry you're dead bye
>>1206709
Rip op may he feel his prophets in hevan
R.I.P
>>1203489
it'll definitely change his summer plans.
Anyone have any thoughts on the details of how he would have gotten 100k as far as how much he started with and where he went with it?
>>1209567
He bought some Apr 22 SPX calls with a 2090 strike, perhaps a couple weeks ago in the $3-4 range. If it hit 2011, he turns his $3 into $10.
Each option is for 100 shares, so the $3 call cost $300 each, would gross $1,000 per. He bought 200 such calls for $60,000. They expired to zero but he could've netted $140,000 if it hit 2100.
That's my guess.
In reality OP is a pathetic loser who's paper trading for a school competition. If you're going to yolo you put it all on a high beta biotech stock. Better if there are deep OTM options involved and an FDA decision coming.
>>1209607
His life can't be that bad if he had $60k. I agree, OP is fag
people like OP always lose because of greed.
This is the number 1 problem with newbie "traders", they use too much size and get burnt.
You got a trade small and often and achieve an 104% annualized return to date like myself.
>>1210580
>use too much size and get burnt
Agreed.
What do you trade?
if OP was in /ESM6 and bought first day close, and sold at exactly 2100 that would have been an 88.25 point gain per contract. equivalent to about $4400. each contract with an initial margin of $5000.
22 contracts needed for a 100k profit. a risk of 121k.
OP being in futures is not likely given the date he made this thread.
the real interesting part is now. whether we can breach and stay above 2100. otherwise it's a short opportunity.
