#263If you like stocks and are careful with the way you spend your money, you know how much time goes into buying shares of a stock. It’s tedious and I don’t have 24k for a Bloomberg terminal. Which led me to the idea during xmas break to spend the time creating my own terminal. I introduce you to “Gamestonk Terminal” (probably should’ve sent 1 tweet everyday to Elon Musk for copyrights permission eheh). In summary, the…

Hacker News has always been reddit. All these comments are just people seeing through the matrix.

Where is the market data (price, volume, etc) from? All open source projects related to stocks seem to use Yahoo quotes, which is essentially abandoned and not supported at all. No SLA or any indication of long term survival. I found Alpaca[1] which looks decent in terms of a stock API and their upstream data provider Polygon.io[2] which looks even better but costs $199/mo for essentially per tick market data. [1] ht…
They were using Polygon for data, but if I recall correctly, I believe seeing an email or such that they're going to roll out their own data and discontinue the Polygon "bridge".

#268How good does this work for non US stocks? I don't think you should invest all your money in stocks of just one nation.
My take: Of these Big Three indices, the S&P 500 will outperform others over the long term. That is not blind pro-US bias. The US economy (and, correspondingly, the S&P 500 index) is much more dynamic than EU and Japan. It can recover faster after downturns -- recessions & depressions.
As a retail investor, put your money into a very low commission ETF that tracks the S&P 500 index. See: Fidelity, State Street, or Vanguard. Enable dividend reinvestment programme ("DRIP") to buy more shares with dividends. Go to sleep for 30 years. Wake up rich. Simples.

Hacker News is Reddit with a thesaurus. This is only an insult to Hacker News if you think Reddit is bad, but they clearly share the same dynamic brought on by the perverse incentives of the "karma" system and individually threaded comments. Classic discussion forum interfaces (e.g. vBulletin or phpBB) allow for much richer and calmer communication.
I am personally not against the idea of sorting comments based on a score but the score itself shouldn't be visible to anyone.

It's the best scene in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo1OSqBQYmk
Its a great scene, but this one takes the cake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbiDrzTd8fE "That's a nice shirt, do they make it for men?" "Somehow you're like Dora the Explorer and you're the first person who has found this thing..."
"There’s some shady stuff going down. God, this is intimate. I feel like I’m financially inside of you or something."
"I'm jacked. Jacked to tits!"
