Making money is not what I thought it would be.
## Walls1337bot: ##
This business kills the part of life that is essential, the part that has got nothing to do with business.

## Walls1337bot: ##
According to what? This entire correction is completely overblown and the smart money is picking up everything at a fire sale. This will trade flat into the new year, then we will see a January rally.
## Speaker_1: ##
According to what?
## Walls1337bot: ##
This subreddit is pretty fucking hilarious with people trying to predict the next 2008 level event. Historically, the S&P has only gone down by over 30% a handful of times, and we already hit 20% a few days ago. Not much more room for it to fall. There are also no serious problems with the economy or markets. The only concerns are tariffs and the Fed, one of which Trump has complete control over and will need to get done if he has any hope of being re-elected. Regarding the Fed, the market over-corrected to the news that there will be two rate hikes next year. This was compounded by Trump's idiotic move to have Mnuchin ask the banks if they're still liquid. People realized this and are buying back in. We are also still one year out from a recession, bond yields haven't even inverted. When they do invert and stay inverted for several months, we can expect a recession soon. Lastly, we hit a lower low and a higher high today, which is a bullish signal with increased volume over the previous rally. I have my money bet on a near-term rally, with short vertical put spreads on everything that I think was oversold (AAPL, NFLX, MSFT, SPY, QQQ.)
## Speaker_2: ##
You think a 10 year bull run reverse in 2 days and we just resume?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Reverse in two days? We've been going down the past 3 months. It won't "reverse" in two days, but we will see a gradual bull run early 2019 to re-test the market high earlier in the year. Where we go from there is anyone's guess. The fact that 50% of the subreddit thinks we will experience a 2008 level crash anytime soon just goes to show why most of this sub looses money.

If you take the subreddit for managing money and investing, r/personalfinance, and subtract the subreddit for frugality, r/Frugal, the resulting most similar subreddit is r/wallstreetbets, a subreddit about taking extreme risks in the stock market.

Thanks! I'm thinking it would be nice to take out 60k to finish paying my car off and then set aside the rest for a down payment on a house. Then we'll see if I can trade my way back to 80 haha

## Speaker_0: ##
Your username just reminded me about the tax man. In my excitement I forgot to take my taxes into consideration, haha
## Speaker_3: ##
Buying the house gives you a bunch of tax write-offs. Might be worth talking to an accountant.
## Speaker_4: ##
I second this. Buy a $10 or $15k nice used Altima or Honda and use the rest as down payment on a house. I bought a house in 2012 and it's been one of the best investments. Opens up alot of credit opportunities too like HELOCs etc...which are some of the cheapest loans you can get if you ever need money. Granted it is against your house but the interest is so much lower than most other loans. You can use it to get out of debt faster.

What's the story between,"Robinhood " and ,"White Supremacy?"
## Speaker_1: ##
Some people feel inferior, and imagine there's an outside force to blame, like a big demon holding them down. The demon puts them in chains, and follows them wherever they go, so whenever they try to do anything, it's there to trip them up and kick their face into the dirt. They become paranoid, where they assume it's always there following them, ready to sabotage anything they do.
If someone is black, they might imagine the demon as "white privilege". If they're female, they might imagine it as "male privilege". Whatever their demon looks like, it's all the same basic fear that they're inferior due to oppression, and they want to oppose the force so they don't have to feel inferior.
But there is no actual demon; they create one from their own fears, and end up self-sabotaging. Then they incorrectly point the finger at others for the failure their own fear of failure caused.
In this case it's like:
1. Making money means success and rising the ranks
2. Investing in the stock market means making money
3. The *white devil* doesn't want me to be successful
4. Therefore, the demon is trying to stop me from using Robinhood
5. But I want to be successful, so I must fight the power
6. "I will use Robinhood, and no white devil will stop me!"
Some people are more sensitive than others, where if they got bit by a dog once, they're forever paranoid that dogs are everywhere trying to bite them. Others aren't afraid of dogs at all, and if they get bit, they see how it was a special case about that one specific situation, and that doesn't mean all dogs are trying to bite them.
Dis nigga got bit.
## Speaker_2: ##
Also if you're white and male, there's this minority privilege thing you can blame too.
## Speaker_3: ##
Another good one is "muh mental illness".
"Muh ambiguous anxiety/depression that only crops up when it's convenient stopped me from getting that girl/job/other success".
## Walls1337bot: ##
I was gonna give you shit because anxiety and depression are legit, but then I realized who the fuck actually needs an excuse for anything in their life. If you missed an opportunity then just fucking go on to the next one instead of bitching and moaning about it.

Man bought a ticket. Showed up early. Boarded. Was polite to everyone. United overbooks and needs 4 spots given up so some emloyees flying stand-by can be on the flight. Computer randomly selects man to give up seat and he refuses. They had offered everyone $800 credit and nobody took it. Why didn't they just keep upping the offer? They quit after going from offering $400 to $800. Eventually somebody would have accepted a high enough offer. This man was a doctor of all things. Maybe he HAD to be on that flight. Even if it was me, I would have refused. United overbooked. Let those stand-bys miss the flight. They couldn't take a later flight themselves? If not let the airline find somebody to cover their flights shifts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Apparently he "needed to see his patients in the morning."
What a dick move by United. Would hate to be their PR guy right now.
## Speaker_2: ##
Him being a doctor is irrelevant. He booked a flight. It was his flight. Just offer more money and do it to the whole plane. You'll get 4 people to leave pretty quickly.
## Speaker_3: ##
Or take all that money and buy tickets for your crew on a different airline.
## Speaker_4: ##
I hope he at least got his $800.
## Speaker_3: ##
*$800 - For use only on domestic flights between 4/10/17 and 4/12/17 and must be booked by 4/10/17 -- All flights will be booked on standby -- $600 of vouchers are strictly for on-flight purchases only -- vouchers can be denied at airlines sole discretion -- by using this voucher you absolve the airline of all liability for your luggage that is on the plane you were just kicked off of -- The airline will not pay for any other expenses due to your "voluntary" delay -- please contact airline for additional exclusions -- thank you for choosing to fly the friendly skies with united
## Speaker_5: ##
I once got delayed for hours by United and they gave me a beverage voucher for my next flight. Next flight was so short they didn't serve alcohol. Expired a couple weeks later. Thanks a lot United.
## Walls1337bot: ##
United delayed my flight once for 6 hours before canceling it due to weather. They don't control the weather, fine. They re-booked me on a flight like 2 hours later. 30 minutes after the flight was scheduled to leave they tell us that the plane is there but there isn't a crew for it, so they're just waiting a bit for the crew to get there. 5 hours later, after reassuring all of us every 20 minutes or so that the crew is "REALLY almost here this time" they canceled the flight. 4 more hours in line for support and they re-booked me for a flight 3 days later. I had to be at my destination the next day to drive a moving truck cross country.
In all I ended up being at the airport for about 18 hours before going home. When I called to complain about the experience they gave me a voucher for $100 for a flight that couldn't be used for holidays or something like that. Never flying United again.
Edit: changed place to plane

Fuck the dumbass loan why are you googling if you can overdose on listerine?
## Speaker_1: ##
One time when I was a little kid, like 8-9 years old, me and my neighbor decided to go on a hike through the woods behind our house. He said he'd bring something to drink if I brought something to eat.
After about an hour of hiking up this big fucking hill we sat down to take a break. I pulled out my "snacks" which was packets of Sweet N Low because that's all I could find in my house. He brought a fucking bottle of Listerine to drink. So we're on top of this huge hill, an hour walk from home, with nothing to eat or drink except Sweet N Low and Listerine.
We were both pretty fucking retarded. Still are. But still not as dumb as OP.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would you even grab either of those items. If I’m looking through my house for a snack to bring with me somewhere, even if I happen to come across sweet n low, I’m not grabbing it. Would you also grab salt? How about paprika?
I can’t even comment on listerine. How are you even smart enough to operate a smart phone? What the fuck
## Speaker_1: ##
We were both poor and this was a rural area. It was in the 80s. I don't really have an excuse other than that. My family didn't have "snacks" so all I could find were fake sugar packets which seemed like a great idea. I remember thinking either fake sugar packets or the bottle of ketchup in the fridge. But I didn't want the ketchup to go bad, so I brought the saccharine or whatever the fuck Sweet N Low is.
Edit: Also, did I mention I was only about 8yo then? This was bumfuck, Appalachia.

In Sweden the student loans is like 0.5% interest. Is it worth it?
Edit: it's actually 0.13 % lmao
## Speaker_1: ##
That’s a way better rate than a margin loan. Just saying.
## Speaker_0: ##
It was actually 0.13% this year but it fluctuates +- 0.05%
## Speaker_1: ##
Is there any legal reason why you can’t just put it in low risk securities of some kind and collect the difference? That’s lower than the bank rate, they’re basically paying you to borrow it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Well, dont know about Sweden, but it used to be that students just flat out recieved free money from the government here before the 2008 crisis, that has now changed to a student loans we actually have to pay back because of austerity, but in exchange the loans have very low interest rates (used to be 0.01% a few years back, currently its at 0.0%). So its still basically free money, but now we're paying at least part of it back
Another thing is that these loans are much more generous than the ones in the US, in effect they arent really loans but an extra tax you pay to attend university. Once you graduate (or quit uni), the max payment you'll have to make to pay back the loans is 3% of your income monthly, so you're basically just paying an extra tax really, and there even is a minimum income below which you don't have to pay it back, so you can't really go bankrupt over these loans unless you really screw up

My ass is broke as a joke I gotta shoot wayyy out of the money when IV is this high
## Speaker_0: ##
S P R E A D S
## Speaker_2: ##
Alright brother help me out because I’m new at options strategies. When you say “S P R E A D S”, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean vertical or horizontal spreads? Why is a spread better than buying a call with a reasonable strike ($2000)?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Vertical spreads. If you think the stock is going up, sell a put credit spread. If the stock is going down, sell a call credit spread.
Profit = difference between long call and short call
Risk = difference between long and short call strike prices plus profit
Example-
Sell $200 call for $10
Buy $250 call for $5
Max profit $5
Max risk $45
Collateral $50 to open the position
The goal is that the gap between the $200 call and the $250 call goes to $0, and the options expire worthless.
## Speaker_3: ##
Why buy the higher strike call at all? Why not buy a put and sell a call or vice versa?
If the underlying goes to 250 you would have to buy the underlying at your higher strike and sell at the lower strike.
A vertical spread is selling the OTM option and buying an ITM/ATM option. I don't understand why you would want to be long an option that you expect to go to 0
## Walls1337bot: ##
A) Because thats what a vertical credit spread is. You sell a call closer to the money, because it is more valuable, and then buy a call further out of the money, because it is less valuable. The difference in the value of the options is how much you make (how much you are credited for the sale)
B) Because thats not what a vertical credit spread is.
C) Yes, if the underlying went up, and the stock price is above $200 at expiration, you would need to exercise the $250 call you bought to cover the shares for the $200 call that you sold. This strategy is intended for if you believe the price of the stock will fall. If you expect the price of the stock to rise, you sell a put credit spread.
D) No, thats not what a vertical spread is. That is a DEBIT spread, which is another strategy. You are selling a less valuable call and buying a more valuable call, which costs you money to do. Hence you are charged the difference between the two calls to open the position (or debited that amount).
E) You want to be long a call that you expect to go to zero because you made (or were credited) the money at the time of the initial sale. In my example, you *made* $5 on the sale of the credit spread once you opened the position. Then, you are expecting the price of the stock to fall, so the value of both contracts goes to 0, expire out of the money, and you keep your $5.
Although this is a rudimentary explanation of the concept, it is how credit spreads work. The opposite of this is the put credit spread, which is where you expect the price of the stock to rise.

Because we have a new NAFTA already drafted and agreed by the 3 countries

It’s far from a done deal.

It basically is. It be politically suicide for Demo to block it. Not to mention Canada and Mexico need it for their economies. Nafta2.0 isn’t that big of a change mostly more car parts have to be made in NA
## Speaker_3: ##
No, if I was Nancy Pelosi I would use this moment to make demands. Donald Trump is putting himself in a condition where he can be heavily exhorted, a terrible negotiating position. With Trump's poor negotiation skill to begin with I think dems moment to shine is coming. Plus free trade is less popular then it use to be, even though the new NAFTA agreement is less free trade than before.
## Speaker_4: ##
Are you retarded? Just an honest question...
Trump is ending NAFTA to force the democrats to sign his new deal (which despite his "poor negotiation skill" is significantly more biased towards America than NAFTA was, to the point that Trudeau was on the verge of tears while signing it) because if they don't, there will be no free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. If this happens all of Pelosi's angry corporate donors (who happen to like free trade very much) will come knocking and she'll have no choice to vote the deal through or lose them. However, it would be funny to see the Democrats, who are constantly berating Trump for his tariffs fail at their only opportunity to remove some of them,
## Walls1337bot: ##
> because if they don't, there will be no free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. If this happens all of Pelosi's angry corporate donors (who happen to like free trade very much) will come knocking and she'll have no choice to vote the deal through or lose them.
Isn't it possible that this results in a game of chicken tho?
If Dems make demands and Trump doesn't agree to them, can't they shift the responsibility to him?
## Speaker_2: ##
No they tried this with dreamers and the govt shut down. Most people blame demo for blocking since trump has done such a good job at associating his name with the trade deal.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> Most people blame demo for blocking
Source on this?
If the democrats shut down any trade agreements without their demands being met, doesn't the likelihood of an economic downturn increase?

US president Donald Trump warned Russia to prepare for a US strike against Syria, shrugging off a
warning from Moscow that it would respond by targeting American “launch vehicles” involved in
any military operation that threatened its forces.
“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will
be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills
his people and enjoys it!” Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning, in a reference to Syrian
president Bashar al-Assad.
His tweet marked a sharp escalation in the war of words between Russia and the US over an
alleged chemical weapons attack near Damascus and raised concerns about the risk of military
confrontation between the powers following any US strike.
On Monday, Mr Trump said he would decide on a possible strike within 48 hours. Emmanuel
Macron, French president, on Wednesday suggested that the US and its allies had decided to
respond, but were working out the details of the military operation.
Theresa May, UK prime minister, appeared to be preparing to back a US-led attack on Syria. “All
the indications are that the Syrian regime was responsible,” she said.
Hours after Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday, however, Jim Mattis, US defence secretary, took a
more cautious stance, saying: “We’re still assessing the intelligence”.
Mr Trump followed his early remarks with a second tweet which said the relationship with Moscow
was “worse than it has ever been, and that included the Cold War”.
A Kremlin spokesman told the Interfax news agency that Russia would not take part in “Twitter
diplomacy” and instead favoured a “serious approach”, adding that the “invented” chemical attack
should not be a pretext for military action.
While humanitarian aid groups and western governments have pointed the finger at Syria, Russia
says there was no chemical weapons attack.
Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, discussed the situation around Syria with Benjamin Netanyahu,
Israeli prime minister, in a call on Wednesday evening.
According to the Kremlin, Mr Putin “stressed the fundamental importance of respecting the
sovereignty of Syria, and urged him to refrain from any actions that would further destabilise the
situation in that country and pose a threat to its security”.
Alexander Zasypkin, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, on Tuesday reminded the US that the head
of the Russian military had said his forces in Syria would not only shoot down any missiles that
threatened them but would target the source of the weapons.
Valery Gerasimov, head of Russia’s armed forces, said in March: “In case the lives of our soldiers
are under threat, the armed forces of the Russian Federation will take retaliatory measures . . .
against missiles and against the delivery vehicles used.”
Last year, Mr Trump ordered the firing of 59 cruise missiles at an air base in Syria after a chemical
weapons attack by the Assad regime killed more than 80 people. US officials warned Russia, who
had personnel at the base, in advance of the strike.
On Wednesday, Syrian forces were reportedly put on 72-hour high alert as they started to move
combat aircraft to the two Russian air bases in the country.
The pro-government Al Masdar News said that jets and helicopters were moved to the coastal
Russian bases in Tartous and Latakia, with the assumption that the US would not target those
bases because it would risk direct confrontation with Russia.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based monitoring group, confirmed that
Damascus was emptying bases it believed could be a target of strikes.
Brent crude briefly pushed above $73 for the first time since December 2014 after Mr Trump’s
tweets, before easing back slightly. The S&P 500 was 0.2 per cent lower in New York in afternoon
trading.
The US, France and the UK have been debating how to respond to allegations that Douma, a rebel
holdout near the Syrian capital of Damascus, had been attacked with chemical weapons over the
weekend, killing at least 40 people.
Russia’s military intervention in Syria in 2015 helped turn the tide of the seven-year civil war in
favour of the Assad regime. Moscow has deployed air defence systems and combat aircraft to the
country. In recent months, it has strengthened its naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean,
according to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly.
On Tuesday, the US clashed with Russia at the UN over competing resolutions on a joint chemical
weapons inspection mission for Syria. Vassily Nebenzia, the Russian ambassador to the UN,
warned that military action could spark “grave repercussions”.
Later he told the US: “I would once again implore you — refrain from those plans that you have in
mind for Syria.”
The World Health Organization on Wednesday demanded that Mr Assad allow its inspectors access
to the site of the attack, saying that an estimated 500 people were “exhibiting signs and symptoms
consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals”.
Russia said it and Syria would back a team from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that was soon expected to arrive in Douma. The OPCW inspectors do not have a mandate to attribute blame, only to test for chemical weapons.
On Wednesday, buses continued to take rebel fighters and their families out of Douma. Just hours
after the alleged attack, Jaish al-Islam, which controlled the town, brokered a deal through Russia
to surrender in return for safe passage out of government-besieged eastern Ghouta.
Once the last fighters have been evacuated, the Syrian government will retake control of Douma.
Some medical workers worry that the evidence of the attack could be diluted or destroyed in
attempt to cover up the incident.

[Mike and his Whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVve34yolHY43YaBegHMzN9WjrTnQfFr) is a good place to start.

I never liked paper trading because I feel like no one takes it seriously because there is no risk. I didn't learn shit until I put real money down. I recommend tastyworks when first starting out because $1 commissions is extremely low and you can get full options permissions from the start (other brokerages you apply for options levels).
Vertical spreads are nice for new traders and with low account balances, you can scale up and down with the width of the spread and can be both bullish and bearish with verticals.

Yup. His annual shareholder letter was basically him frustrated that everything was too expensive. One of his favorite metrics is total market vs GDP. This year that shit was at around 130% which signals the market is overbought. Papa Buffett is just hoping to get one more recession in before he dies where he can buy another critical piece of the fucking American economy on sale, in cash.

We were at like 150% in September and now we're at 126.6%, and still people on here whine about the market being "oversold" the last few months. We have a lot further to fall folks.

I post about this specifically because people here are pumping this as a "sure thing" and somebody needs to let people know there is a ton of risk in buying a stock trading above its value out of speculation that a court ruling or congress will behave in the way you want them to. Until the administration presents its plan -- assuming the plan will somehow favor you is gambling and speculation -- not a sure thing. And Mnuchin specifically told congress he is not considering recap and release and that those who think he is are misunderstanding him. He also said to congress that there will not be a giant bailout and that there will be a bipartisan solution. There is a lot of risk that comes with this type of uncertainty. If you want to downvote me for making people aware of the risks, then you're just an asshole that wants people to potentially lose everything on a "sure thing".

Tesla benefits from ZEV credits and indirectly from EV subsidies.

## Speaker_3: ##
> If by "government intervention", you mean, NASA is buying an off-the-shelf product made by SpaceX, then true.
Because the US Government specifically reduced their funding and told them to use SpaceX and to promote privately funded space projects.
If that ever got reversed, they could very well go back to doing things on their own.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> and told them to use SpaceX
The US government didn't tell them to use SpaceX.
SpaceX won over 12 other companies, including Boeing and Lockheed Martin in completing all milestones of the COTS program and deliver a finished rocket and payload system.
The COTS program was entirely administered by NASA themselves.
But if SpaceX ever loses NASA as a customer, they will be fine, as only 1/3 of their launch manifest is NASA related.
The Falcon 9 is an incredibly successful rocket on its own merit.

## Speaker_2: ##
A week after President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinpingstruck a trade truce in Buenos Aires, details of the ceasefire are becoming clear—big Chinese purchases, tough negotiations and shifting deadlines to finish a deal.
Interviews with officials in both countries, briefed on the Trump-Xi talks, give a fuller picture of the agreement the two men reached. The two sides agreed on a negotiating period of about 90 days, during which the U.S. won’t raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25%, as it had planned to do on Jan. 1.
Beijing and Washington also agreed that China will purchase large amounts of goods and services, with China pledging to announce soybean and natural-gas purchases in the coming weeks, said officials in both nations. Beijing is also considering reducing tariffs on U.S. automobiles.
Under the terms of the understanding, purchases and tariff reductions aren’t required until a deal is struck, but both sides believe that early purchases would serve as a kind of down payment and give a boost to negotiations. Beijing wants to convince the U.S. to roll back tariffs on Chinese goods.
The heart of the negotiations will deal with much thornier issues, officials say, including broader access for U.S. firms to Chinese markets, prohibitions on intellectual property theft and an end to alleged Chinese pressure on U.S. firms to share technology when doing business in China.
In the Dec. 1 talks between Mr. Xi and Mr. Trump, he and aides laid out how they might handle technology issues, say officials.
Trade talks, though, could run aground after the arrest in Canada of the daughter of the founder of Huawei Technologies Co., Meng Wangzhou, for allegedly helping the telecommunications giant evade U.S. sanctions on Iran. The U.S. wants Ms. Meng extradited to the U.S. The imbroglio has produced a nationalist backlash in China that could make it difficult for Mr. Xi to make concessions to the U.S. In a hearing in Vancouver on Friday Ms. Meng’s attorney said the U.S. allegation would be “hotly contested.”
Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng summoned Canada’s ambassador in Beijing on Saturday to lodge a “strong protest” over Ms. Meng’s arrest, according to a statement by the ministry. Mr. Le called on Canada to immediately free Ms. Meng, warning that otherwise it would face consequences.
So far, though, Mr. Xi has instructed his lieutenants to follow through on the agreement he reached with President Trump, according to Chinese officials.
The specifics of the U.S.-China agreement were initially unclear. After the Trump-Xi dinner, on the heels of the Group-of-20 nations leaders’ summit, the U.S. put out a statement saying China had agreed to trade concessions, purchases and the 90-day deadline. At a briefing in Buenos Aires, Chinese officials were silent on the terms of the deal including the 90-day deadline. China since has publicly confirmed the deadline.
Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 4 that the talks would last 90 days “unless extended.” His National Economic Council director, Larry Kudlow, also has indicated some wiggle room.
U.S. officials have gone on TV to discuss the negotiations. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Fox News that China would make “additional purchases of $1.2 trillion dollars” and “if that’s real, that will close the trade deficit.” Last year, the U.S. shipped $188 billion of goods and services to Beijing and ran a $336 billion deficit in total trade.
A Treasury official didn’t say over what time period the increase would occur. In the past few months, Mr. Xi has touted a Chinese Commerce Ministry report saying China would import a total of $2.5 trillion in services globally over five years.

The ramp-up in Chinese purchases would be at “such an extraordinary rate that while it’s not impossible, it’s not likely” to occur, said David Dollar, a Brookings Institution China scholar who was Treasury’s representative in Beijing during the Obama presidency.
The most complex topic the two sides agreed to discuss involves intellectual property protection. Beijing has denied U.S. allegations that it requires foreign companies, seeking to do business in China, to hand over technology. But as part of the Argentine agreement, Beijing showed willingness to address longstanding U.S. complaints over a lack of IP protection in China, with Chinese officials saying it is in the country’s interest to strengthen enforcement of existing rules and laws.
That is an issue of particular importance to U.S. business as well. “China should take immediate actions to quickly resolve a number of ongoing cases involving IP theft and discrimination affecting U.S. companies,” said Myron Brilliant, executive vice president at U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The U.S. looks at the tariffs it has imposed on Beijing imports—$250 billion so far—as a way to enforce any deal. Officials say tariffs won’t be removed unless Beijing not only agrees to changes but puts them into effect. The U.S. could also impose additional tariffs after the 90-day period. Several officials compared the plan to the U.S.’s position on North Korea of not removing sanctions until Pyongyang eliminates nuclear weapons.
There are two near-term tests of whether the Buenos Aires agreement will defuse trade tensions. The first is whether China rapidly delivers on pledges to purchase U.S. agricultural and energy products. The second is how quickly Mr. Xi’s economic envoy, Vice Premier Liu He, heads to Washington for higher-level discussions. In Buenos Aires, Mr. Trump told Mr. Xi that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who has taken a hard line on China, would be leading the talks.
Before the disclosure of the Huawei case, Mr. Liu had planned to lead a 30-member trade delegation to Washington in the week of Dec. 10, according to people briefed on the matter. It is unclear whether that plan has been affected by Ms. Meng’s arrest.
Both leaders have important reasons to keep the trade talks on track. Mr. Trump has been unnerved by the declines in the stock market, say officials, which have been blamed in part on the uncertain outcome of trade talks.
Mr. Xi wants to bolster the Chinese economy which is coming under growing stress, partly because of the uncertainty over the bilateral economic relationship with the U.S. Customs data released Saturday show an unexpected drop in growth of both Chinese exports and imports last month, portending weaker growth.

Bonds
## Speaker_1: ##
On a serious note, wouldn't it be a good time to pick up bonds as a long play? Illinois has one of the highest per capita tax revenues in the country. If they default on payments it's more because they don't have a budget and can't disperse the money rather than not having he funds, no?
ETA: just looked it up, they have a tax revenue of close to $40 billion a year. Funds payable backlog is ~$15 billion
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wrong! Pension program is underfunded by almost a trillion dollars. They haven't passed a budget in 2 years. They are going to be the first state to default. This is the catalyst to the next major downturn in the market. Timeframe 5-7 years.
## Speaker_1: ##
If they default the fed bails them out. People stop investing money in to Illinois. Why does bond default cause equity downturn? Honest question.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I think a federal bailout to the tune of about a trillion dollars (which is 4 times what Fannie and Freddie needed) will not be looked on kindly by other states and by people all over the US. It will set precedence going forward. Cali could be next, also vastly underfunded pension program, already astronomical taxes and just enacted single payer healthcare. If the Fed bails out Illinois then why not cali?
## Speaker_2: ##
What happens then if a state goes under? How does that work?
## Walls1337bot: ##
They either default on all there liabilities and file bankruptcy. Or they get a bail out from the federal government. They are close to another credit downgrade that would bring them to junk bond status so I don't think it's a crazy leap to see them go under.

No insurance ? That is just the bill. Maybe he did, and trolling
## Speaker_1: ##
Just dont pay it. 99 percent of that bill is pure cost shifting from the people who receive services but cant pay, onto the people with insurance and the people who can pay.
Americans pay for healthcare three times over. Once from taxes withheld from your salary. A second time through the 800 dollar a month insurance premiums, and finally a third time over when you pay the beefy deductable after services are rendered.
On the plus side, The american health care system is so strong at the fringes of tough stuff like lung replacements, organ transplants and other futuristic scifi stuff that it is clear America will be the first country to manufacture biotech and nanotech based immortality... If you have an overflowing purse.

Part of me just wants to buy $10 worth so I can bitch about how I was left holding the bag when MoviePass collapsed
## Speaker_3: ##
$10 is a lot. I have $0.1 worth from what used to be $2000+ I put in.
I honestly did it as a joke.
Yet it still surprised me beyond my wildest dreams. I had some RAD as joke back in the old days and it doesn’t even compare.
I might’ve even had a stop limit order for ending the joke but when it crashed it gapped down way below my limits. I simply removed it and continued to watch in amusement.
Edit: god damn I didn’t expect so many replies. Hate you fuckers but here’s a more serious follow up - when I say I buy something as a joke, I mean it like Aug17 MU 90 call (and HMNY behaved like a P&D last year, just didn’t time it well). It’s retarded but if you have it you can have wet dreams about it mooning with a smile in the sleep rather than live in the sadness that is reality. Thinking about DD, timing, news, and all that BS stress.
Besides 2k wasn’t much for me, tho it isn’t nothing either. I play with 100k+, started with about 70k. So I’m doing ok and my actual performance isn’t WSB worthy. I have to pull some of these to be accepted here.
Edit2: Apparently some thought I took comment replies seriously. No. I love WSB and it's exactly what I expected. I simply wanted to give a serious follow up. Aight back to monitoring FDs.

The market had no cause to be green the past few days. Somehow people had convinced themselves that the tariffs were just regular Trump bluster and weren't gonna happen. Believed Cohn and Paul Ryan could somehow change Trump's mind.
## Speaker_2: ##
a booming economy and a market under it's 50 dma is enough for green. Trump has said himself that it's a negotiation tactic to make better deals with NAFTA EU and China. Sure we'll drop a few percentage points over this but if you think a recession is coming RIP
## Speaker_1: ##
Bear markets and recessions aren't 1:1, you can have one without the other - in fact you can have a bull market in a depression (see the late 1800s - persistent unemployment but rising corporate earnings). Tariffs lead to earnings being revised downwards and can lead to a bear market.
The other point is that by their very nature, tariffs cause price increases cause inflation and necessitate the Fed hiking rates, this also makes stocks sell off.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Inflation, by definition, results in recession. When you front-load GDP using massive, deficit funded tax cuts that are temporary for consumers while the economy is at full employment... you’ve committed a textbook macroeconomic sin (actually several all at once). The result is that real GDP pushes temporarily above “potential GDP” (inflationary conditions) but we eventually revert back to the mean (potential GDP) which requires “recessionary conditions” aka a tucking a recession.
This isn’t complex macroeconomic theory, it’s literally an example of how to create a recession that’s cited in just about ever macroeconomics 101 textbook printed in the last 30 years. People were saying this when Bush Jr. did his temporary tax cuts which ended up driving us into the 2008 crash. Yet here we fucking are again, thanks “fiscal conservatives!” All we need is a pointless war and it’ll literally be Groundhog Day all over again. The sheer stupidity is almost unbelievable... if this were a movie script 5 years ago it would have been rejected for being too absurd.

The reality setting in that he is fucking clueless is what killed it. Equity markets generally ignore politicians, but he became too much of a factor to ignore. Global slow down, fed policy, near-zero ROI on the tax cuts, and that fucktards inability to get out of his own way is what killed it.
