Market crash Monday my dudes, you all ready?
The market usually responds favorably to war. Not that I am condoning the Syria strikes at all
@Zyzz yeah last night I found myself wishing the markets were open. Trading gives a kind of outlet for "oh I have a new piece of information what do I do with it now", because otherwise all I can do is complain about the strikes or ignore them.
@ThisIsChris it certainly does although it’s probable it’s already been priced in. I have been heavy in defense and aerospace bc trump and Israel and neocons and all that. It doesn’t take a genius to conclude the chance of war/increased military spending under this admin will hopen
Happen
@Zyzz definitely, I'm starting to see the wisdom in that
Trying to learn a bit about algorithmic trading: https://www.quantopian.com/tutorials/getting-started
Wish I had had the agency to buy SBUX when the news broke of them being /our coffee/
Can't get lower...but now. Wait, can it?
It can, but I think the recent boycott news is priced in now. These emotional libby things I expect a quick dip then return, which is what already happened (dip on Friday, and then climb back up on Monday, so I think that ship has sailed already)
Any reason to think the VA 30-year mortgage rate will move in the next 20 days? I'm floating the rate at the moment.
@Zyzz @SamanthaM ^^
@Argument of Perigee there is a fed meeting May 1-2. I don't think they are expected to hike rates but you never know
4/27 we have the 1st reading (out of 3) of 1Q18 GDP
negative news here would be in your favor
and then of course 1st fri of every month we have the unemployment reading
Always appreciate your input @Zyzz Thank you, Sir!
Rate hike on this much federal debt? Probably not.
They have been climbing...
@Argument of Perigee
Prediction: Long term rates will continue to rise.
Spring is the beginning of "home-buying season." This year loans are more expensive with less properties for sale nationwide.
There has also been an increase in govt interest in the wake of the Trump tax cuts. Although it won't be a dramatic increase, by any stretch of the imagination.
Ugh god the (((Black-Scholes))) formula is going to be the death of me this semester
Oh come on, basic economics
