Anyone else waiting for their next paycheck to come through so they can make their next purchase?

 

I have a few items on my list, no specific order, unfortunately I'll probably only be getting one of these items...

 

1. New motherboard, LGA 2011, haven't picked exactly which one yet.

 

2. mITX LGA 1155 motherboard, this will only happen after #1.

 

3. Node 304, for the above motherboard...

 

4. More RAM, looking into a 4 x 4gb kit.

 

Those are just a few of the possible items that I will be purchasing, or maybe not, haha, who knows, something else might come up.

 

Anyway, anyone else waiting for their next paycheck? What do you have in mind that you're going to buy?

"George, what the hell happened?"

 

"Stocks, that's what happened, Ted."

 

"But, specifically what, George."

 

"Stocks, Ted."

 

"But, George, that doesn't answer my question of what happened"

 

"Stocks."

 

"B-but, George, you're -"

 

"STOCKS! TED! STOCKS! Nobody knows how it works!"

 

"B-but George..."

 

"... Fine, magic happened, Ted. Okay?"

 

"Magic?"

 

"Magic."

Well I am a student, so no payday. I would love to get a job, but this is not really possible here in China and plus I have so much to do for my academic life that there is hardly any time...

Haha really though its not too hard to understand how they work. 

The main issue is why it drops and knowing that people will react irrationally at times. Remember when people put stocks in Oculus when they thought it was involved with Oculus Rift? Speculation did have a part in The Great Depression and if Ubisoft's story about Watch_Dogs is true, then people are really impatient and edgy.

If your smart about it you can take advantage of peoples failure to research what their dumping their money into. :P

 

I found the whole oculus rift incident hilarious perosnally, the whole market is made up of emotion driven investors and traders so speculation naturally plays a part in everything that has to do with the stocks market. If you can read the future accurately then you can get filthy rich with that knowledge.
