no clean way to do it with a built-in function, but, I could do this with a custom script and it works fine:

code:

declare lower;
Plot ratio = close(GetSymbol()) / close("SPY");
ratio.AssignValueColor(if ratio >= ratio[1] then Color.UPTICK else Color.DOWNTICK);

oil & gas weak looks like some kind of a potential breakdown here, tempting to short APA and TRGP, or go long DRIP instead (hate the 2x decay tho)... but it loosk too much like chasing for my tastes I guess >_o

You clearly know your poo poo JD but gently caress, leave O&G alone for bets.

There's no way to predict if some Saudi prince is going to announce a thing after hours.

Oil is just totally random.

That drat GAMR ETF, that I mentioned before, keeps going up. I set a trailing stop, because I expect it to blow eventually.

man at what point does BRK/B become a buy?

it's down further than the equal-weighted S&P 500 for the year

it's not a sexy tech company but it's gonna make money

In the Q1 report, they disclosed buying back BRK.B shares at an average of $214.00 in the back half of the quarter.

So I guess Buffett thinks they're a pretty deep discount now.

15% of my IRA is in BRK at a cost basis of 180, but I don't know if it's all that great tbh. It doesn't seem very diversified; 43% of BRK's entire value is AAPL. That's too out of balance for my taste, so I won't add any more to BRK.

are you sure about that? wikipedia is telling me Berkshire Hathaway has $708b in assets, $348b in equity, as of 2018. AAPL may be 43% of their stock holdings, but you're missing BRK controlled companies like Geico, their utilities, etc., in that listing.

I got in today on UpWork from a recommendation and wow what a nice boost, my $22.5 8/21 calls are up like 150% in one day.

Also, what's the deal with Zynga? It's so close to 10.5 but the premiums are super low. Why is not on piling into it? I have 8/14 $10.5 calls on it and it's just $0.09 away from reaching its strike price. This should be priced at like $1.00 already with 25,000,000 volume in one day and a chart that is just going up and up... what the hell? It was up 19 cents today alone and 60 cents yesterday, hitting that $10.5 strike price seems almost inevitable.

If they hit 200% or if there's about 3 weeks left on the contract. If the stock jumps up again tomorrow I'll probably just get rid of it at open. It hit another ATH after hours so I expect it to jump up another 50c or something at cash open

I think UpWork might be my new racehorse. It�s obviously benefitting off of unemployment and people needing gig work. I�m gonna keep rolling this up into bigger and bigger contract sizing until lockdowns and COVID cases start dropping.

It�s up 50 cents in after hours trading, too.

I don't know how interested in the treasury markets you guys are but I found this interesting:

http://www.capitalspectator.com/has-the-fed-launched-a-yield-curve-control-policy-for-treasuries/

quote:

Formally, the Fed isn�t targeting yields, although the recent flat-lining of the 10-year yield suggests otherwise. With a few exceptions, the 10-year rate has been unusually stable since April, holding in a tight 0.6%-0.7% range except for one short-lived spike to 0.91%.

the fed has been very transparent about their treasury bond actions in both FOMC minutes and various interviews. the actual schedule and record of actions is here:

What the gently caress Ford? Now I need to buy a Mazda when my Ranger dies.

2 and 1/2 seats. Manual transmission. A long bed in the back that you can chuck poo poo in. Bad fuel economy.

How is that so hard?

Agreed, but I just find it hard/time consuming to parse and I thought picerno's take was pretty good. What is also interesting fed wise as well is that their balance sheet is smaller now over the past few weeks.
