NVDA is now at $108

[Picaro]

How so? Did you not say my money in NVDA is not “real money”?

No, I made a sarcastic remark about your ridiculous claim. You need to distort it.

Is the equity in my house also not “real money”?

More strawmen. Never said a thing about that, but again you need to keep throwing out bullshit.

 

[Picaro]

Anything below $115 is a good buy. Moderation in all things. Remember you only make money or lose it when you sell.

It pays less than 4 cents a year in dividends. lol it's worth maybe 20 cents a share at best.

/——/ True. There is a reason certain stocks have low dividends. But, the real money is in the weekly stock options. At The Money call is $3.80 per share, or $380 per contract per year. You can’t always get it to work in your favor, and sometimes the stock will shoot up past your strike price and you would see a greater value without the call, but with practice you get a nice return.
Or, $228 a week with cash secured puts without investing any money.

Not really since its and illiquid asset.

/——/ NVDA is an Illiquid asset???? Since when?
Illiquid refers to the state of a stock, bond, or other assets that cannot easily and readily be sold or exchanged for cash without a substantial loss in value. Illiquid assets may be hard to sell quickly because there is low trading activity or interest in the issue, indicated by a lack of ready and willing investors or speculators to purchase or sell the asset. As a result, illiquid assets tend to have lower trading volume, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater price volatility.

The equity in your house stupid fuckup.

/—-/ You listed two assets, but weren’t specific about which you meant. Sorry about that.

Not to me it isn’t. I can get cash out of it any time I want. Real money.

Having more than half-a-million equity in my house is quite useful.

/—-/ True, once you open a HELOC, but you’re borrowing that money at an interest rate.

That’s true, but the other poster claimed my house equity didn’t count as “real” since it was illiquid.

Also, when i had a HELOC several years ago, the APR was only 3%. Even my credit card rate was less than 6%. (I have excellent credit.)

Not sure being able to take a loan against an asset makes it a liquid asset

Which is why I said it was dumb to buy the stock outright. Options are a far better bet if one is going to gamble on the garbage; your bet goes a lot further. My idea of a long term bet on garbage paper is about a week.

Who? It is no longer 'equity' when it's borrowed against, and if you sold it to pay a debt it wouldn't sell quickly except at a reduced valuation. It's stupid to borrow against your house to make bets on garbage paper.

No, because going with options is a much more risky “bet” in that you have to right on the direction AND timing. When you buy the stock outright, you just have to bet on the direction - and there is no time pressure.

Did I SAY I borrowed against my house to invest in stocks?

YOU said a house is an illiquid asset, and I showed how quickly I can get my hands in ready cash out of my equity,

you understand that folks in a two-year time period Made a ton of money on Nvidia… nvidia has done a 10x in about a year and a half.

I’ve seen people make the same suggestion about cryptocurrency that’s stupid and dumb. Cryptocurrency has made quite a few people millionaires in this world.

To say that investing in the stock market is akin to gambling at the casino is very ignorant. It’s like somebody saying opening up a restaurant is stupid. Sure there’s risk involved but this is capitalism for you and that is the world we live in.
