If this is the bottom, it was barely even a dip compared to the insane runs over the last year from the companies now being hammered

I doubt it brahs, be wary

Two things I like about them:

1. Prime take-over target right now, I suspect they will be the next to go. Even if oil goes down, looking for some upside on the buy-out.
2. Like the others they've done substantial cost cutting and debt reduction. They still have more to go on the debt side of things but at $60 a barrel they're in the clear.

I can't seen oil staying at these prices short-mid term. We still have subdued demand and OPEC has a lot of supply idled still.

I don't know how so many people are so confident on severely overbought stocks continuing to go up. Seems like denial to me. But perhaps I am wrong and will be poor while they are drowning in their money.

thing is, for people who know a thing or two about stocks i'd say youre spot on

but as others have said, it's the reddit robinhood investors who literally get stimmy money and pump it into tesla cos 'they like the stock' which is half what drove these crazy prices to where they are

and just as they blindly pumped money in, they'll not realise when they should be selling and/or buy more

sheer numbers of people outweigh those who make smart technical analysis, as we've seen in 2020

Yeah this has recovered a lot faster than I ever expected, 2022-2023 was my timeline. OPEC has a lot of supply idled but they seem to be taking a very metered approach to increasing output again, probably because their member's budgets were being hit hard af by the last price war. After all the effort they've put into stabilizing the market again, they'll probably be very deliberate in loosening the reins

Our producers are gonna be in great spots even just @ $60 though, especially considering the differential between WTI and WCS seems to be staying at $11ish

Very true. Low income crowd with a robinhood app and stimulus check can definitely continue to fuel this. But I fear if that is the base of current market money how rapidly things may tumble and how far they may go entering a real bear period which I think would cause a lot of these new retail investors to pull out.

For real. People acting like TSLA is crashing to insane levels and looks like a great deal right now. They need to zoom out on the chart lol.

true, they'd pull out eventually - probably at a big loss (which again isn't smart)

i do think an extreme downturn is looming. but i dont think its possible that it'd come when people are literally being given free money

there's no denying it was considerably oversold today. good for a short term swing at least
i wouldn't be holding this into the distant future for sure. something bigger is coming

In theory...

If there was a legit full on true crash into a significant bear market that would be a turn off to the newbie 2021 Robinhooder masses just getting in and giving them a bad taste of the market (being impatient) and maybe they will want to quit the game in droves.

So do the big bois really hate the masses to the point where they would prefer to have a crash to get people away from their territory and scare us away.

Or on the other they could feed on us or maybe we aren’t significant enough?

What do you guys think based on reverse engineering the establishment

If this is just the beginning of a larger correction it's probably best to just check out for awhile. Don't go through the pain, ignore the market. Assuming you are investing for the long term, this will rebound and post new ATHs down the line. Think about on paper loses in the meantime isn't going to be beneficial.

I think it's a better time to be a hedgie than ever before

with the Robinhood investors and 9M strong on WSB, the hedges can just infinitely create pump and dumps like GME, RKT, APHA, BB, AMC, UMWC, etc

Citadel gets the orders from robinhood, so they know exactly what is happening. post some of their own DD on WSB and watch the frenzy happen

I'd imagine they want to keep the newbies in the game

Go back year and imagine the chaos when everything tanked 1000+ daily. It was circuit breakers on way down.

The only option was to hold. What other choice you had.

If you're long than you stay long. Don't sell.

It sucks to enter when we might be going through some correction but its impossible to predict when is right time to enter.

so Robinhood is gonna list on Nasdaq with IPO.

wallstreetbets is salivating at the thought of shorting robinhood to ground.

however it feels like this is exactly what citadel and melvin want their chance to burn wsb for gme

This

Even outside of the gains from actual trading, they are absolutely reveling in the increased retail trader activity and the fees collected from all of it. We are their customers, we are their revenue stream

If you're into podcasts there's one out of Vancouver by Michael Campbell called 'Money Talks'. He's a mixture of politics, and markets. More so towards the markets with how certain policies effect them. He has some real good guest speakers every episode; day trader, real-estate guy, commodities traders, very diverse.

They've been calling for next run on commodities for the last few months and I've been shuffling my portfolio to that direction.

1. Lots of those companies pay strong dividends
2. Relatively stable share price
3. Inflation hedge in my portfolio.
4. Stimulus spending in infrastructure goes hand in hand with copper, iron, fuel, etc.

Imperial has done significant cap ex reductions and leaning out. At $60 a barrel we are a cash flow machine right now.....however we are not running at max rates at the refinery and our jet fuel production is ~30% of what it used to be. This tells me this run-up is shaky and will come down.

I'm a bit biased towards them as I work there and have a boatload of shares lol

Had to check in when the markets been acting up. Still trading fellahs, switched to options and had to do a lot of growing up. Still remember jackedguy and his gold, did that ever print?

Hedge funds only care about making money. People just follow the trends and they're emotionally driven most of the time and their memory is short. They'll sell when there is a 10% dip in the market and re-invest after a 20% runup. It's discussed constantly in every book I've read. Worse their memory is short, and the cycle also continues with a new round of investors.

At least, that's how I see it.

Hahaha holy smokes just went back a bit and I can’t believe you and some of the OGs are still here, nostalgia hitting me hard man. Spent so much time here and hitting the charts. Think I might hop back on.
