Stock Market and Trading Talk

Got to love Jimmy Poorhouse being unable to remember the lies he's told! It's even better than him going from never having heard of tracker funds (and still not knowing what they are) to having most of his fantasy money in them as soon as it's pointed out what a moron he is for boasting about getting returns a third of what the market offers just by tracking the index!

Poor jealous and inferior Lazarus tells three lies in one paragraph just to trash the flow of my thread.

Meanwhile Lazarus posted this one week ago diminishing me when VOO was at $500 and VUG was at $358.

polishforums.com/off-topic/stock-market-talk-85560/32/#msg1991561

One week later VOO closed today at $517.60 and VUG at $374.
Now if mistic Lazarus would have bought 100 shares each he would have made $1760 on VOO and $1627 on VUG.
He would have made $3387 U.S.D. in the last week but again he sat on the sidelines diminishing my stock tips instead..
I think he is stuck on stupid. 🥴

@johnny reb
What was the tracker thing doing?

What tracker thing ?
You mean the S&P 500 that Dead Man Walking keeps getting mixed up with ETF's ?

Both VOO & VUG beat the S&P 500 in the last five-day average.

See, Dead Man Walking cherry picks the day the S&P is up and my ETF's are down to diminish me.
On the last five-day average I have beat "the tracker thing" I mean the S&P 500.

Thats exactly what you have done, the thing about gamblers is that they are blindly optimistic.

Index trackers are how to not lose more money on the stock market than the wider market loses. Instead trying to pick stocks that will beat the market average, these funds aim "to closely track the index's return".
Until a month ago Jimmy Poorhouse had never heard of them, which is why he would post here trying to boast about his ability to produce returns that are an average of less than half what one can make by simply tracking the market indices. Now he claims to have "most" of his money invested in "ETF's" (he is, of course, too dumb to know the name is actually ETFs).

Jimmy Poorhouse is so financially illiterate that he doesn't even know the difference between a market index and an exchange-traded fund, as he makes clear in this post:

The reality is that a market index tracks how a certain group of shares (or bonds or other investments) performs. Some tracker funds track market indices and exchange-traded funds are a type of tracker fund, so some of those also track market indices. Unfortunately for Jimmy Poorhouse, he was too angry at being exposed yet again as a liar who knows nothing about finance that he didn't bother googling properly before claiming that "I have the most of my money invested ETF's" which have "made me a ton of money", so he didn't know the difference between a market index and a tracker fund and an ETF. In fact he still doesn't, as his reply to your post shows.


One of the few things that Jimmy Poorhouse can't be accused of being is a gambler. One needs money to gamble and Jimmy Poorhouse doesn't even have enough money for a can of paint to stop the wood siding on his shack from rotting away. Have you seen the state of it?!

Actually I have done no such thing, Barns.
In fact I don't recall ever mentioning the S&P 500 until yesterday when I explained how Dead Man Walking thinks that when you buy a stock or ETF that it automatically goes up that day/week and never has a losing day.
A one day average is no way to compare, I took a five day average and showed you how my ETF's beat the S&P500 for those last five days.
Poor Harry just doesn't get it because he is stuck on stupid.
He isn't even smart enough to tip us a stock or an ETF.

@johnny reb
You did cherry pick a figure that suited your fantasy.

Which one Barns, show us which figure that was.
And then tell us what stocks you own.

There you go.

I dont own any stocks or shares or any other such thing, like "landlordism" I think its immoral. Gambling has never done it for me its just for fools.

Note I'm not calling you a fool as I dont believe you have any money invested anywhere. Buying Leer jets , Caribbean ranches and yachts have left you a bit short

I'm all for mass share ownership; it's a form of Socialism when done properly. Unfortunately though, no government is ever fast or effective enough in preventing capitalists for abusing it and buying up shares, often to delist the company.

Of course Jimmy Poorhouse is lying about that. But he wants everybody to forget that last month he described an S&P 500 tracker fund which he claims to have $50,000 invested in as a "tech fund" and then tried to backpedal by claiming
But if you have any doubt about what an epic moron Jimmy Poorhouse is, just look at today's attempt to boast:

Could he be any more financially illiterate? He's trying to boast about one of 'his' tracker funds (VUG) beating what it doesn't track and under-performing what it does track! VUG is a CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index tracker. VUG gained over the last five days 2.75%: CRSP US LCGI was up by more than 3%, which more than offsets the 0.14% that VOO outperformed the S&P500 by.

LOL, only Jimmy Poorhouse could possibly try to boast about getting returns below what the market offers! What a f*cking retard! Of course, the growth mentioned above doesn't take into account the fees that one has to pay to hold units in VOO and VUG. But Jimmy Poorhouse can't be expected to know about those, they only apply to actual investments, not the fantasy kind Jimmy Poorhouse makes do with.

Your ass sucks well water too, Barns.
I did no such thing liar.
I simply showed you how Mistic Lazarus picks one bad day to use to diminish me.
Please read again and educate yourself.


So see Barns, I was showing you how Dead Man Walking uses one day returns to diminish me just like you are so desperately trying to do.
Then one week later:

Confirming how the market goes up and down and how I beat the S&P for the last weeks average. (Belch !)
Are you jealous like Lazarus is too ?
Now for F sakes, if you have nothing to contribute to this thread, please quit trashing and trolling it.

Of course Jimmy Poorhouse doesn't actually have any money invested anywhere (one look at his shack tells you that). But that doesn't lessen the amusement we get from him trying to boast about his investments returning lower gains than those offered by the market. What a f*cking retard! Hoot!

Are you a Brit too by any chance ? Yes or NO

That is obvious, neither does Lazarus, so why do you post in this thread that you know nothing about besides to just diminishing me out of pure jealousy.

I agree however "investing" is how wealthy people get wealthy and stay wealthy.
It takes money to make money which neither you or Lazarus seem to have.

Like PolAm says, "I don't give a flying F what you believe or don't believe." HooT !
Suck on that Barns.
Have you ever seen the tiny little dumpy flat that Lazarus lives in ? Oh ja ja !
My dogs houses are bigger than that dump. lol

The problem is that shareholders get to direct companies. And what kind of company wants morons such as Jimmy Poorhouse to have any say in how they're run? That's just a recipe for bankruptcy! Imagine giving somebody who is so utterly clueless that he can't convert from CHF to USD even when given the exchange rate (and even after having to be told what CHF is) the right to have a say in complex financial decisions! He's so financially illiterate that he's repeatedly boasted about getting returns lower than those offered by the market!

And of course he's so ignorant that he doesn't know that there are websites in Poland which give estimated values for apartments in Warsaw, so anybody who has the address of a flat can easily check whether a statement that the value of it is a seven-figure number is accurate or not. Just as people can look up the assessed value of Jimmy Poorhouse's shack in the woods and see it going down due to lack of maintenance.

@johnny reb
People with money dont tend to boast about it therefor...

Barney, mind if I ask how you're saving for retirement? I'd be interested in getting your views on ethical investment for that.

Also, I think you may have worked for at least three years in the UK, so are you making UK voluntary class 2 NI contributions? If not, you really should be!

The bargain of the century when you consider the return. Plus, proper pensions are something my forebears fought for in the strikes of the nineteenth century, the General Strike and every time they voted (when they eventually got the vote).


Not sure about Barney, however I've mentioned Sheffield Mutual and also may put some money in a 10 year deposit at Unity Mutual (belongs to the Oddies of which I'm a member). Not quite the crazy returns that 'CryptoBros' pretend to get, or the one penny share that makes so much 'profit' that it almost cancels out all the ones that day traders lose on.

Now Lazarus has become a Fianacial Planner too. Hoot !
Ask him what he is invested in besides his nine franc that he carries in his wallet to showboat with. 🤭
Poor Harry, what a Loser.

I am leaning toward the energy sector for the near future.
Its looking strong at this point in time.
Maybe the Mistic Dead Man Walking would like to tip us on a stock or ETF for once here. 🧐
