I've owned NVDA for over 8 years. It's been up and down, but I believe in Jensen Huang and will stick with NVDA until Jensen says otherwise. I know that sounds crazy, but when the financial statements/Jensen, (same to me) tell me to sell, I will. I'm sure I won't sell at the top, but that's OK.

Kept $105k in CIT Bank HYSA at 5.05% but i now plan to invest in the stock market. What are your thoughts on that? What stocks should I look out for as a newbie to safely grow my money?

Apt!! I was self-managing my portfolio but suffered heavy losses in 2022 and i knew i couldn't continue like that, so i consulted a fiduciary advisor. By restructuring and diversifying my $1.2M portfolio with dividend-paying stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds and REITs, I significantly boosted my portfolio, achieving an annualized gain of 28%.

In spite of how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, there is already an excessive amount of demand waiting to absorb it, which is another reason it's less likely to happen that way. This forecast was not made in 2008, at least not by the general public, as I will explain below. The ownership rate peaked in 2004, according to the other comment. We reached a peak in the second quarter of 2020 and are currently at the median level. From 2008 to 2012, it fell by 3%, and in the second quarter of 2020, it dropped from 68 to 65.

This is actually a great example how relatively rudimentary AI could harm us big time despite not being very intelligent. We give AI a goal to achieve, but dont know every edge case scenario that the AI could interpret in a way that leads to our demise.

[@Korne127]

That's not an AI. There is a difference in AI (which is a program that learns and progressively evolves over time and get better) and algorithms (who always are programmed by a human and will always behave in the exact same way). Of course algorithms can be programmed wrongly and there can be situations that the programmers didn't see coming so that the algorithm will not behave correctly. That's a natural problem in computer science. However, that has nothing to do with artificial intelligence and it's own problems.

How are these automated trading systems not required to log what they've done and why, a log which could be turned over to investigators when things like this happen? A simple "I sold this stock at this price because these conditions were met" which could be matched up with another system's "I bought this stock at this price because these conditions were met". The amount of data would be huge and you'd need automated data analysis to make any sense of it, but it would at least give the investigators a chance of coming to a clear, unambiguous conclusion as to what happened and why.

[From "Flashboys" by Michael Lewis] "In a paper published in February 2013, a team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, showed that the SIP price of Apple stock and the price by traders with faster channels of market information differed 55,000 times in a single day. That meant that there were 55,000 times a day a high-frequency trader could exploit the SIP-generated ignorance of the wider market... And that was only the most obvious way a high-frequency trader might use his advance view of the market to make money." So if you're in the ballpark of 50,000 trades a day on a SINGLE stock, imagine how much data you'd generate in a single day's worth of high-frequency trading. These firms were holding shares for microseconds, fighting other firms holding their shares for microseconds, using codes so secret you'd face decades in jail for even borrowing a snippet. On early 2010's computers. Then add dark pools if you're at a major bank. If you're the guy investigating it, it'd probably take you a lifetime to even find A) a likely culprit B) if that data was saved, the exact moment it hit the fan. TL;DR: It just isn't practical.

That's not what happened. An outdated and obsolete market order type still existed in the exchanges called the "all-or-nothing" flag (AON for short). It means that the person who is placing the order wants to the ENTIRE order to be filled or none of it, no partials. For example, if I placed a trade to purchase 100,000 shares of AAPL at 148.56, then normally I would only have about 10,000 fill before the price moved up a penny....and if it came back down, maybe I get a little more. But if I put that order as an AON, then what happens is market orders that would have filled to me are put in limbo until enough is built up to make the entire transaction....otherwise, if too much time passes (I think 5 seconds) or the AON is cancelled, the limbo market orders will advance to the next person in the list. Well, with an error in the HFT bots, Navinder Singh Sarao found out that you can trick these robots into thinking that there is massive pressure in a specific direction. Basically, he placed an AON order for more than 10x the average daily trade volume below the price of the index. This made the robots believe that there is a party willing to sell a massive amount at a very low price....so what ended up happening is the robots were moving the market down to meet so they can pick up the shares at an extremely discounted rate. BUT, when the bots got there, Sarao cancelled his order. Now the bots had massively shorted their position in order to get down to that level and they needed to clear it, so they purchased what they could....at a loss as the market was squeezed back up. Sarao was charged in 2015 for market manipulation.....I don't think it's fair because he beat the bots at their own game, but that's my opinion. If you don't program your robot correctly, you shouldn't be able to bitch and sue someone else just because you lost, that's my feeling on it.

The stock market is the eatable rich's equivalent of play pretend. There are so many layers of "let's pretend this has value" that nobody really remembers what value is, and as soon as the game gets weird, everybody just adds new powers to their characters "But mine can breath fire!" "Well mine can swim in lava so your fire has no effect on it!"

1:52 The fact that he drew the Supply and Demand curves as straight lines bugs me deeply. It's the same mistake our school economics textbook made. Even my economics teacher showed us it's a curve (and informed us the textbook image was inaccurate). Edit: Nevermind. I now realize that the straight lines are purely for easy visualization, when accuracy is not so important. (We did supply & demand stuff in economics class and ended up using straight lines to make it easier).

And that’s why you place a stop loss, and don’t trade emotionally. If you see a flash crash in the market, don’t panic, it will probably recover, just put your money back in once you see the market recover, a trend form, and shows signs of continuing to form, or if you’ve don’t your homework in the fundamentals of the asset, place the same trade. Flash crash tend to not have an impact on the market.

So you're gonna call arbitrage traders a "group of jerks" but you're not gonna say anything about High Frequency Traders? HFTs literally exploit the difference in timing between when you see the price change vs. when they see the price change, allowing them to make a risk-free profit every time, which essentially makes it so that anyone who buys from a HFT is already down on their trade the instant they made it. I believe you even have a video on it. Arbitrage traders exploit the market also, and they are definitely a group of jerks, but why call them that while also depicting HFTs as cute little BMOs with a smiley face? Unless you're a top investor in a large multi-billion/multi-trillion dollar holdings company, HFTs are not you're friend.
