on the Dow jones , Nasdaq and SPY , even the ASX ( Australia stock exchange ) is showing bull divergence on the Daily time frame. MACD Momentum is coming up ( Bottom indicator ) While Price is making the Lower low. Also the Stochastic RSI is in over-sold territory.

So while everyone is shouting " Collapse , crash ! ' just keep this in mind. because the FED is going to be printing again very soon and they passed that " unlimited spending " deal earlier this year, So there is also that.... the USD is done, toast , finito.. must be a Face ripping rally coming to Stock markets 2024.

The two "big" Crypto's are Bitcoin (the OG) and Ethereum (ETH). There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of other coins but all flow through ETH/BTC (mostly BTC). As a trader you will mostly be trading your $$ into Bitcoin to invest in these other coins.

Bitcoin -Bitcoin Summary

Ethereum -
Ethereum for Everyone
Beginner's Guide to ETH


Where do I go if I want to get in on this???

The only ways to buy bitcoin/ethereum with your dollars are through these things called exchanges.

Examples of exchanges: (links to each exchange will be added later)

(Dollars -> BTC/ETH)

Coinbase- most newb friendly/high fees. You can buy Bitcoins and Ethereum here with your dollars.

~~~RECOMMENDED EXCHANGES (for US brahs)~~~

GDAX- owned by Coinbase. Lower fees. Cons - requires a SSN which not everyone is comfortable with

Gemini- low fees, nice interface. Cons - Takes time to get verified so you can make deposits

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kraken- Similar wait time to get verified as Gemini, if not longer. I don't personally use Kraken but others do

Canadian brahs useQuadrigaCX

from these above exchanges, you can take your dollars and convert them to Ethereum or Bitcoins. Now..you could just hold these coins and be happy, or you could explore into the world of alt coins.

(BTC -> alt coins)

Bittrex

Poloniex

Kraken also has a altcoins, being one of the only exchanges with USD -> BTC/ETH as well as BTC/ETH -> alt coins

Liquio,EtherDelta,Bitfinexare some other exchanges

Binance

General security tips

[General investing tips]

-!!!!GOLDEN RULE!!! - Don't invest more than you are willing to lose. Crypto can be great profits but it can all disappear in an instant as well

-Do YOUR OWN research on any coin before making an investment in it. Don't just listen to some other person and buy it without doing your due diligence. A lot of people will talk up any coin they own shares up (shilling) while some may even spread FUD about other coins

-General ideas of coins with potential: good dev team, solid community (active subreddit/slack channels), small market cap (WITH POTENTIAL TO GROW), and of course..a great product

-Veterans (me not being one of them as I'm about a month deep in crypto) stress to HODL - Don't panic sell your coins just because they're having a bad day. If you believe in the coin, the technology, and the devs...BUY THE ****ING DIP!!

Do any of you fine gents or women have any experience with P6 Planning and scheduling program? I've had an opportunity come up here at work but don't have any working Experience with that Program. I've been told it's used with Construction and Engineering Management.

If any, could I get some recommendations for training if possible?

Thanks

I've searched, and couldn't find a good answer, so....

Help me understand the bitcoin (or the 1000+ other coins) out there. Sure, it can be used as a currency and retailers (I think some have actually tried it), but the violently of it is insane... what sound retailer or person would accept it as payment if it could lose 5+ percent in minutes? Retailers would likely just sell it as soon as it hits their system for $$, right?

It's not tax free as the recent years have shown, so that isn't it. It can be tracked by the wallet, so it's not secretive.

Help me out on why this is better than a stable dollar, or gold?

After next week it won't be below 2k again.

I am cashing out if I reach cost basis and going into t-bonds/HYSA's

Feds are keen on keeping rates high until something breaks, and history repeats. I think stocks will rebound with anticipation of the pivot which is your chance to get out ahead for some time and then get back in at a nicely discounted price

thoughts?

what are your current financial plans and goals?

I was looking at different company stocks and came across Coke. I looked over their history, and I noticed something.

At the start of 2019, coke was sitting at around $200 per share. In just three years, they went up to over $500 per share. Today they’re sitting at $632, but had been as high as $713 a few months prior. WTF?! I have never seen a large cap company do this before.

Not even Amazon did that. Did Coke consolidate their shares? Have they done this a few times, because their gains looking at the numbers have been crazy since 2005. If so, how does consolidating the shares benefit the company?

Hey folks,

Hope you're all doing great! I've been on a mission to trim my expenses lately, particularly when it comes to those regular, everyday items. I'm convinced that there must be some nifty tips and tricks out there that I haven't stumbled upon yet.

That's why I'm turning to this fantastic community for some guidance. I'm eager to know if any of you have clever strategies for saving money on specific items like groceries, clothing, household supplies, or even entertainment. I'm all ears for any suggestions you may have!

Thanks a bunch in advance!

I work in a place that constantly hires people who repeatedly go on light duties.

Never been put on light duties myself and I've been there 8 years.

Since I do more than my share of the physical work, will it end in a shorter career because of wear and tear on the body?

I feel like Boxer from Animal Farm.

This is more of just me testing the waters here but hypothetically if there was a website and app (more than likely the website would be first and the app would be created later down the road) that was like an all in one type of thing so for example it would have logs for your workouts, different types of exercises, a calorie calculator, recipes etc. would people actually use that kind of software or would i just be wasting my time
for clarification it would launch with a couple of features but more would be added as time goes on

LMAO at giving away 2/3 of your Retirement Fund Growth

Job opportunity in middle east (*****).

Doing the math id be saving around £100k each year. Perhaps more as years go by.

As I know this will be a finite experience 5-15 years, how should i invest it?

Buy rental properties back home and return home with a portfolio of ~7 properties? A chunk into things like s&p 500? Do something else?

So I have a cs degree
But work in it making 65k at 29 remote

I think with my degree I can make a lot more
Around 200-300k eventually

But I have no desire to work harder/longer etc

Even the money I make now I save it mostly

Should I try to make more money. I hate coding as well as it’s difficult

I have nothing to buy anyways

I’m in my second year of uni and I am considering a career as a recruiter. I am very attracted to the potential of a high salary with just a bachelors degree.

Are any of you recruiters? Tell me about your experiences. Is it as ‘easy’ as people make it out to be?

I'm trying to get my mortgage score into the mid 700s

Is having too much availabe credit bad or is it about utilization.

Pump and dump company that is pumping on bad earnings. 21% decline in revnue but pumping today on earnings because of "ai".

Before it pumped on crypto and then data.

Pos company that makes overpriced graphics cards.

Here are some investment strategies that can be good for beginners:

1. Start with a 401(k) or IRA: If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, start by contributing enough to get the employer match. If you don't have access to a 401(k), consider opening an individual retirement account (IRA) to take advantage of the tax benefits.

2. Consider index funds: Index funds are a type of mutual fund that tracks a particular stock market index. They offer broad market exposure and tend to have lower fees than actively managed funds.

3. Diversify your portfolio: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your portfolio by investing in a mix of stocks, bonds, and other assets.

4. Start small: It's okay to start small and invest a little bit at a time. You can gradually increase your contributions as you become more comfortable with investing.

5. Invest for the long-term: Investing is a long-term game. Don't get caught up in short-term fluctuations in the market. Stay focused on your goals and stay invested for the long-term.

6. Seek professional advice: Consider consulting with a financial advisor who can help you develop an investment strategy that's tailored to your individual needs and goals.

I have a job opportunity coming up possibly and I would like to get certified in microsoft excel or take a online class with some credibility . I just want to show I made a effort. I'm a welder stepping into the office and will be using excel. I'd like to show in my interview I made a effort to come in a little more prepared. Anyone have any advice? Udemmy?

See way too many people who make a Linkedin page just for the sake of having it, but it is almost worse than if they didn't have one at all since it gives the impression of them not really caring.


Take the time to sit down and flush it out. List all your positions and find the way to translate your experiences from those positions in the most generous way possible. Don't lie, that is not wise, but do be creative in how you present your experience.

Be specific. Get into the granular aspects of your job and provide bullet points of your responsibilities.


If you have a strong Linkedin profile you WILL get attention from recruiters. I get pitches from recruiters on a regular basis. Sometimes even if you are actively applying, rather than being recruited, they will still consult your Linkedin during the decision making process. A lot of HR platforms have Linkedin capabilities built right in for this purpose.

In addition to fleshing out your roles you need a personal bio (professional), a clean pic, and then you need to be slightly active. I don't mean you have to post and share articles, but join some groups in your industry and that will help get recruiter attention as well.

Plenty of accomplished miscers on here that would be more than happy to provide tips and pointers for any career oriented brahs looking to improve on this sort of thing.


SRS

Usually when I switch employers I alternate between putting money in a Roth 401k and Traditional 401K. When I leave, I rollover the funds into one of my IRA’s. Dont really feel one is significantly more beneficial than the other so just curious on which one you guys primarily prefer.
