  • Todays video is about day trading and day traders. In order to better understand how markets work it is worth taking a look at the history of retail day trading, which goes back to the late 1980’s, when new technologies allowed a small group of smart and aggressive traders to take on Wall Street and win. Nasdaq market makers at the time called them the SOES bandits. We will talk about what market inefficiencies the early day traders were exploiting, what became of them, and if there are lessons applicable to today’s markets. We will see how the ideas of these early day traders transformed into modern high frequency trading.

      I think its better to put out a mix of good quality content with sporadic, more superficial, click-baity videos peppered throughout. Those who are here for the good content will forgive the odd click-bait video and it will help get Patrick get more subs in the meantime, maybe even leading people to the rest of his quality content videos.

    I’m a finance geek to a point. I know there’s a strategy to actually do this and some succeed with it. But to me it’ll always seem like an educated game of roulette. But in the end investing and holding long term is much better for me. I’d never be able to emotionally succeed daytrading. Props to those who succeed doing it.

    In such times as this, you’ve got to make sure you consider having a diverse investment strategy. Your portfolio should have exposure to different areas of the market, including small or large-caps of ETF index, international stocks, grade bonds and alternatives like currency market (forex & digital-ledger) as this will help manage the overall risk on your portfolio

  • @Magic_beans_
    @Magic_beans_ 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    5:00 Regarding the 1,000 share limit - Investing had much more of a hurdle to entry back then. It was typical to trade in “round lots” of 100 shares. Some brokers even required it, they wouldn’t deal in smaller “odd lots” because of the higher fees involved. If they took the request, you the investor would pay more in commissions to buy 50 shares than you would to buy 100.
    That round-lot requirement might mean each blue-chip position in your portfolio was thousands of dollars; in 1990 you’d need about $6,000 to get your first stake in Coke or IBM.
    This is also why stock splits were more common than they are now. You wouldn’t have seen someone trading at $1,000/share like Booking or Chipotle do today, because it could make them more difficult to invest in.
