Do you have much luck with stocks?

Honestly, you're pretty much fucking gambling. You may as well gamble for a living. Go learn to play poker or hand out poker stakes or something. It's fucking easy money if you find the right deal.

>> No.8697603

Its not really luck once you understand how it works. I pretty much just focus on making what i spend every month in the first week or 2, and the rest of the profits i put towards new ideas, whether they fail or work out it wont affect my living standards.

day trading is pretty simple. If you understand the different terms and have a bit of background in psychology, you can pretty much piece things together.

after a while of not making the best choices, you start seeing patterns that correlate to news, such as a merger/acquisition or simply earnings report estimates simply effect those "normal" people's minds and their low level of corporate financial understanding. those who understand it capitalize upon this very easily.

I wouldnt suggest trying it out except on paper at first if your interested. learn a bit of how corporations operate and stuff.

but personally i do not like day trading, its quite stressful to try and pull out everything in low/med caps. Instead I apply it throughout the week, trading around 7-20 times depending on the short term performance and news that happen around that time.

Probably my biggest expense would have to be taxes. I just hate cap gains tax. I dont know how to 'pros' handle theirs and it makes me want to go back to school for some corporate tax law courses.

I used to be. My future was bleak and hopeless. All of my dreams had come to nothing. I daydreamed about death constantly, and made a half-assed faggot attempt at taking my own life. Even then I didn't want to get help, since it was obvious I didn't really want to die if I couldn't go through with it -- as much as I hated myself, being the kind of person who pretends to have problems to get attention would be even worse.

Now I take Prozac, and all those odd feelings don't occur anymore. I can remember having them, but I can't even fully understand my mindset at the time. It's like it was a different person.

and if you are interested in it... a secret to see how people will usually react to a certain news if it is not very clear... simply as your friends and family that do not know much about it. normally their reactions will be the market's reaction after several hours or the next day's morning because most working families that invest in stocks usually are at work and read the news or watch the news when they get home -> markets closed and they input what they want, and the orders are carried out ASAP, which is why mornings are quite active.

. what happens immediately after a certain news is usually other traders and investors or would-be traders. Messing with them is cutthroat shit. sometimes they even do stuff to trick other traders into buying a company's stock, only to utilize the small price boost/drop to sell theirs. <- again another reason i dont like day trading.

I've been through a lot of shit. Maybe not as much as some, maybe more than others. I got bullied so bad that my locker in middle school was lit on fire because the kid thought it'd make him more popular. Went out with a lot of women hoping to cure my loneliness, but my social awkwardness forced most women to either cheat on me, or use me for my kindness.

But somehow things worked out. I have an office job, I'm engaged to a girl with similar interests and hobbies, and most of those people from high school are in poverty living on their own with children.

I don't even know anymore. I've been to dozens of therapists and doctors, been on numerous medications since I started High School. I never took them properly and I was drinking a lot with them back then which is not a smart thing to do. It used to be depression but now I'm not sure what it has evolved into. When I try to think about what is wrong with me and how to fix it my mind feels like someone threw a wrench in its gears and it seems its getting to the point that any sort of deep thought causes this feeling. I can't enjoy anything anymore, everything seems pointless an I'm alone.

Try getting out and finding new things to do? Maybe get off the meds if you still take them. I remember mine made me more depressed than anything else.

New things can always help spice things up. Maybe a club or something that involves working with other people yet with minimal interaction as to avoid social awkwardness? Like, take martial arts lessons or something. Go to a gym, things like that. I might be way off the mark, but anything's worth a shot, right?

What I did do is (a) go to a class for a test I had to take, two days per week with people I didn't particularly like, for two months, and (b) take Agomelatine, 50mg/day.
But I had done (a) a number of times before and as for (b), I had been taking that dosage for more than one month.
One day after years of "How the fuck can people be happy, why are they happy and I am not when I do the same things as them, etc.", I woke up and I could 'concentrate' a bit 'better' (well, more like my whole brain got unstuck).

I don't really know how to answer a question like that.

I'm not unhappy. Days go by in a daze. It's full of goals that are missed by a mile and plans that never get off the ground. A few years ago, I would have ]answered, "I don't deserve to be happy because I'm a piece of shit," and then put on a brave front and repeated to myself again, "There is nothing that should truly make me said, and therefore, I'm happy."

I hated myself back then. I liked myself better back then. The fact that I hated myself meant that maybe there was still something redeeming in me. Now I don't care, and there's nothing. I'm not unhappy.

When I graduated from high school, I gave up on friends. It's been about 3 years since then, and it's never been a concern for me.

Several years ago, I used to feel lonely sometimes. One day, I analyzed those feelings, and tried to figure out exactly what they were saying. I came to the conclusion that it's simply the desire 'to be known by others.' The reason for that desire is probably a direct result of pride as an individual.

I don't know. Maybe I still have that desire, or I wouldn't be posting here. But it's not something that bothers me as much anymore.

I'm not a sociopath. But when I see people in the real world, I can't relate to them even a little. I can't deal with them, so it makes me frustrated when I have to. And, almost all of them are superficial to the core, anyway. So I can't be bothered to care about them. That includes my entire family, and all of the friends I once had.

There are people I can deal with, but... Even for them, I have trouble. Many times, when I engage in arguments with people, I find that my logic is full of fallacies. I think I may have been born with a mental illness of some sort. But it's not like I'm ashamed of it or anything... I've always been on a journey for wisdom from the start, so I'll just find a way to correct myself.

No. I'm not happy but I'm not terribly sad either.

I'm on my first year of college (computer engineering) and I'm getting great grades, I get along quite well with the people there but somehow I feel tired and exhausted. I don't go out except for uni (my mother buys me clothes) I don't know anyone who shares my interests... and I can't stand how slow and boring some classes can be, despite that I haven't missed a single one of them yet. I try to evade myself into studying harder but after the exams period I get completely lost, I can't get me to do absolutely anything and feel like shit for a few weeks.

Sometimes I stalk my HS friends' twitter and they've all become much more "normal", they all started to drink and such. On the other hand, I have become much more immersed into anime and touhou since I started uni.

I feel like crap sometimes but then I remember there are people in a much worse situation than me, incapable of affording college or getting bad grades despite trying their best, so I somehow think "don't be a pussy, there are people that would kill to be in your situation, man up and keep working hard", but that's only temporary.

About girls... well I'm a virgin and haven't had a gf yet. I'm not particularly bad looking, I'm 5'7'' and 123 lbs, I don't wear glasses or have acne or shit... but in my class there's only 1 girl, and she's a disgusting loud landwhale, and since I only go out to uni and then back home, meeting one wouldn't be exactly easy. Furthermore, I'm not interested even the slightest in most girls... I just want some non-obese girl that shares my interests, period, that's all I'm looking for. But I haven't had luck yet ;_;

I'm always tired.

Not always exhausted, like I used to be - I can actually visit a gym on a regular basis, now - but still... just fucking tired. Even when I get to sleep as long as I want, whenever I want, I always seem to end up back in bed, or staring at a computer screen with a numb, weary mind.

I've got talent... I know that. But that talent is creative, and to make money with it requires a lot of hit-and-miss, a lot of time, effort, and hard work, and I just don't have the stamina for that, physically or mentally. Creative work is exhausting as hell, and I so rarely have the energy to spare. How the fuck am I supposed to manage a career out of it, much less the years of unpaid, desperate work required to even break into the money side of things?

I don't talk to my friends anymore. It's as easy as picking up a phone and dialing them, but I don't have anything to say to them anymore. I really don't.

I'm being evicted at the end of april and i have no money or job, i've been a NEET for most of my life. I was also feeling increasingly sick all of the time, mostly chest pain, light-headedness, very fast/hard heartbeat etc and. feeling extremely tired all of the time even if I had plenty of sleep etc.. I honestly thought I might be really sick with some kind of heart disease and I was going to die soon but didn't want to see a doctor.

Thats when I googled up a bunch of my symptoms and came across one guy that sounded exactly like me, mid-twenties really similar symptoms and followed his thread on a forum. Turns out after every kind of test they could think of they couldn't find anything wrong with him. He was just suffering from extreme anxiety.

So I forced myself to think really positively about everything and amazingly I feel really great right now. I thought I had some sort of severe heart disease and was going to die if I tried to excercise and now I feel fine for the most part. It sounds strange and it took a few days to get to this point but I really managed to get over the anxiety myself in a short time.

I still get really worried thinking about getting a job and sometimes i can feel my heart beating hard or mild chest pains, but I can get it to stop with 'mind tricks', i guess you'd call them.I'm planning to get a job,but it's still hard thinking about it. I'm slowly working myself towards the idea and I plan to go looking for one on monday. I have a lot of issues with social situations, and fixed schedules but hopefully if I try to keep this attitude I can do it somehow.

I'll most probably end out staying in homeless shelters or something for a bit but hopefully everything works out. I've thought about applying for welfare (while still looking for a job), though I'm not sure how easy it is to get for someone like me.

Recently my appetite mostly went away. Yesterday I forced myself to eat anyway, but today I think I'll just go without.

Lately I've also been feeling detached from everything, like things just happen on their own and somehow even my thoughts aren't really under my control.

I've also been really tired all the time. It doesn't seem to make a difference how much sleep I get. Every week I end up just trying to get by and end up too tired to do anything else.

I've also been hit by a wave of illness recently. Its under control now, but when it was spiking a fever (at 103.7 F) I was tempted to just let go of the ice, put on a few more blankets and just let myself pass out and die. I certainly regretted my decision to keep living once the fever subsided and I was then in too much pain to be able to sleep.

Because apparently DLA is given out too freely, the government is poor, and some guy somewhere had a thought that cutting the lowest rate of DLA (which is the only one you can get for autism) sounded like a smashing idea.

Asperger's should work too. The UK seems pretty chill about that stuff, like giving out free money a lot.

Have you ever worked with with people with aspergers? Some of them are relatively fine, others are pretty crippled, which is one of the reasons why they're trying to integrate it back into high functioning autism(though that might leave a lot of people out in the cold).

A lot of kids with aspergers remain just that, kids. Sending them off to work can be like sending off a mentally unstable 10 year old.

I'm all for getting people with difficulties back into work and all that, but it shouldn't be forced on them if it's going to end up being a disaster for them and everyone around them. The Tories just want to make people with difficulties go back into work without paying for the therapy and training needed to do so. In my books, that makes you a scumbag.

>> No.8709544

>>8708458

Giving the lowest rate for full blown autism is completely retarded because it's actually one of the most crippling disabilities you can possibly have in terms of holding down employment.

Even some people with aspergers just cannot keep a normal routine.

Again, with some changes, the right training and a more adaptable workplace, you can get around this. But the Tories aren't interested in actually making this workable, they just want to make stupid decisions in the name of "saving money".

Doing this in the middle of a recession is doubly stupid too, as in a competitive environment people with disabilities are unlikely to get any kind of job.
