A Tesla split is much appreciated.

thinking we can see a flush toward 3274 in the s&p before we bounce and reset. Under there and we have 3225 and 3156.75. NASDAQ really needs to hold 10856 otherwise it could flush down to 10568, 10500. Would be good for the longer term trend to reset down there and resume grinding back. Painful short term, but that's life.

Why are we so excited about the TSLA and Apple stock split? I don't see it affecting the price much.

Yo guys, sorry for the rookie question here...just trying to gain more knowledge and turn this corner in an intelligent manner. With this Tesla 5-1 split, if someone has 1 stock will they receive an additional 4 at the end of close on Aug 28 (still totaling the overall value of what 1 stock was pre-split)? Appreciate yall!

Correct. 1 share turns into 5, the value of 5 shares is equivalent to what that 1 share was.

Someone decided to use options to hedge their portfolio in case the market goes lower. Dollar amount on index options is pretty meaningless. Just an institution taking a hedge. Expect short term volatility.

My understanding is it increases the amount of shares available without dilution. Making it more accommodating for inclusion in sp500. Lower price makes it more accesible.
yeap. Multiply shares by 5. Dividenstock price by 5.

PG a *****. He dont want to see Dame in the playoffs again, might have to run away to another team if Dame sees him in another elimination game.

The large majority of the shares are owned by institutional investors iirc.
But for sure it won’t hurt.

Enough time to load up this time. Won’t make the same mistake twice.

Just for reference, Apple at its peak only reached 460 after its split while buying back billions worth of stock. Tesla going back to a thousand isn’t something that’s happen easily, if at all.

Start with some books. You'll have a much better understanding in about a month. There are a bunch others but these two stood out to me.
1. Random Walk Down Wallstreet by Burton
2. How to Make Money in Stocks by Oneal

Also set up a paper trading account. It's easier to learn lessons when you're not using your own money. But pay attention to what trades you're making and why. Also read about charting patterns and my personal favorite indicator, RSI.

for active and short term traders: when the 5 day moving avg crosses above the 13 day moving avg...usually a good buy sign. my coworkers and i use this for stocks we're just looking to make a quick 10-20% return on and bail

Takes three years. Keep your size very small.
