Aha! But how do I fall asleep easily when I have tens of thousands invested in FDs that are in the red? Checkmate, scientists!

What, a stimulant minus the high? What even is the point?

Puts on modafinil, calls on cocaine and Adderall.

50

it lasts like 2-3 days with no immediately noticeable or short-term side effects - if you really need to stay up, you take modafinil

14
AcidCyborg•

It's a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, so it's more of a natural stimulation with less of a crash. Not necessarily as much fun as it is useful.

It's like being a drinker cause you like the taste. Totally defeats the purpose.

The SEC doesn't allow weed.

Coke is too sugary and I don't know anyone with a time machine.

I find a glass of Jack and a fistful of Benadryl works wonders.

Mildly habit forming and causes liver damage but you just need to weigh those risks against how much you enjoy not sleeping.

Liver damage ? More like liver destruction lmao

Dang, go down to the rec weed store and get yourself a strong indica. Knock you out without the side effects.

But I'm already drowning in coke I am snorting from the boobs of a Thai prostiture that might or not be a shemale...

Edit: also, weed is for losers. Sucessful people do coke

For trading? Bro I’d fall right the fuck to sleep and miss every opportunity. Switch weed for adderall and you might be onto something

How available are Adderall in the US? I'm pretty sure here in Europe they go on the same special prescription pads that pain pill go on.

6
netBluOPProfit Free Since '93•

It's a schedule II drug, which makes it illegal to sell or own without a prescription. BUT, I can guarantee I'll go by the nearest college and get dozens if I have a few hundred bucks.

It's one of the most prescribed drugs for younger people because of how retardedly easy it is to go into a Psychiatrist and tell them you're distracted and you'll get a bottle every month. The best ones to get are the XR 30mg Addys (extended release) in my opinion because you can be hyped all day into the following 2 days if you take enough bruh

11
prefap-time•

Is schedule II a different script than for example blood pressure meds? Here I think it is printed on a special color thing that has even stronger oversight. Didn't know it was easy to fake ADHD to a Doc in the US to get them! The only stims here that are cheap is speed from Eastern Europe (the regular, not the meth kind). But I only know a (mostly) weed dealer.

mark_cny•

Isn't it easier to do meth and take some benzos to come down?

6
ShowMeTheTyrant•

Substantially easier. Meth is potent and cheap, and if dosed correctly is pure magic. You do too much and youre scatter brained as thousands of ideas come and go every hour as time just disappears. You do just the right amount and your focus, cognition, recollection, learning, etc is the best it will ever possibly be.

And of course clonazepam is one of the greatest drugs ever conceived. Recommended for anyone when alcohol and/or weed just won't get the job done.

west coast has the toughest time with this. i wake up at 3:30 every morning so i can find the power to trade during the shit market hours.

opiablame•

I went on a vacation to Hawaii and it was too hard to try to keep up with Market hours if I wanted to enjoy my time there. Closed all positions 3rd day after sneakily getting up at 2:30 am like some kind of crack head the first two nights.

moss344•

Huh? Markets open 6:30 west coast. We talkin futures?

22
emceebull•

gotta be fully awake and aware. Coffee starts dripping at 3:15. By the time the market’s open, I’ve completed a pot of coffee, a bagel or two, and got jacked at the gym. Stay woke, my man.

82
moss344•

Hell yeah, now we’re talkin.

29
dead_phish•

a bagel or two

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up

22
poobispainting•

It depends on the bagel. Peanut butter for bigger lifting gains, cream cheese for the modest market and lift gains, and peanut butter and jelly bagel sandwich for the FDs

Bruh 2 bagels is like a loaf of condensed bread

DropDeadKid•

How does one break into futures?

Lose it all on regular options and then look for your next fix

12
DropDeadKid•

Futures are basically just options on crack right?

I just stay up until 630 sleep until 130 and miss selling for gains

Pre market is no joke. Lots of news drops and if you can act quick before the bears decide to take group shits then you can make some really nice gains. Pre market heroes usually end up like Caesar once the market opens though.

Classic wow is doing really well though. I saw a lot of posts recently titled, “[some other shitty MMO] is dying because everyone moved to classic wow”.

Is it out on TPB yet?

5
CarlCarbonite•

No clue. I used my gains to buy it on the epic game store.

12
LordDongler•

You spend option money on games you will be able to get for free weeks or a month later? No delayed gratification, so no long term gains for you

5
CarlCarbonite•

Instant gratification for me only. Options during the week gambling at the casino on the weekend. Gotta keep the dopamine loop going or I’ll see a combine and want to jump in it.

Tendies don’t happen in your sleep

Not true, if you take all of your gains and put them between your butt cheeks the tendie fairy will visit you while you sleep and swap them out with extra crispy tendies.

PugsehBull Gang Enlistee•

Horseshit, some of my best trades have been when I've gone all-in on some dumb shit the day prior, can't sleep, and then at 6:30 AM I'm squinting at the ToS app through bloodshot eyes not knowing what I'm even clicking on.

You don't get to overthink it if you're just mashing buttons.

R/investing and WSB should have a yearly contest. Both subs compare their members collective earnings for the year. Winners get to call the losers autistic.

2
netBluOPProfit Free Since '93•

I'd wager that WSB has a pretty decent chance to win that. Most r/investing posters tend to have sub <100k accounts, there's already a pretty good amount of people on this subreddit that have at least a few 100k or even millions like that one dude with a fuckload of Pinterest shares.

If you are going off purely $ return, WSB would probably win. Shit, I probably made more than most of them just fucking around with futures and getting lucky. If you're going off risk adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio), obviously r/investing wins, but their primary go to for investing is purely dumping their money into VOO/VSTAX. That isn't going to surprise anyone that their Sharpe is much more in line with S&P.

My policy is to jerk off before placing the trade so I can get that I can get that clarity.
