El empleo público en 2020 volvió a subir y Argentina es el país de América Latina que gasta un mayor porcentaje del PBI en pagar los salarios del estado. Mientras, el empleo privado en blanco cayó 5% y el empleo privado total en un millón de puestos de trabajo. El gasto en la nómina duplica el promedio de los principales vecinos y la incidencia del empleo público sobre el total es el mayor de una lista de 18 países de la región.
En Córdoba cobran un impuesto de 2 mil pesos por tener pileta. Las autoridades comunales explicaron que es una tasa extraordinaria por el verano, como consecuencia de la crisis hídrica.

Tras la dura carta de Cristina Kirchner contra el máximo tribunal, el diputado nacional y presidente de la Unión Cívica Radical, Alfredo Cornejo, advirtió que el gobierno nacional está "preparando un proceso de juicio político a la Corte Suprema y una reforma constitucional".
Alberto no cumplió una promesa y la CGT evaluaba tomar fuertes medidas. Hace dos semanas, el presidente propuso una reunión para tratar la crisis de las obras sociales, pero al momento no ocurrió.

Pese a las críticas al Gobierno anterior, Martín Guzmán emitió por segunda vez deuda en dólares a una tasa del 16%.

Los manifestantes irrumpieron por asalto en el edificio, que esta semana reabrió sus puertas luego de 9 meses de pandemia. Instalaron carpas y amenazan con profundizar la medida: no se retirarán hasta que reciban una respuesta concreta de las autoridades bonaerenses y afirmaron: “Lo que estamos reclamando es trabajo y que llegue la canasta navideña a la mesa de los compañeros. Pedimos que se cumpla el artículo 14 de la Constitución Nacional. Nos vamos a quedar hasta que alguien nos atienda”.
Nuevo apoyo público de Alberto Fernández a Hugo Moyano: “Es un gran dirigente gremial”. El Presidente, acompañado por el gobernador bonaerense Axel Kicillof, participó de un acto organizado por el referente gremial para celebrar un nuevo aniversario del día del trabajador camionero.
Otra empresa deportiva se suma al éxodo: ASICS, la reina de las zapatillas de running, se va de la Argentina. Su negocio quedará desde 2021 en manos del Grupo Dass, que ya comercializa las marcas Fila y Umbro y la fabrica Adidas, y quien fabricará a nivel local la marca.
La inflación de noviembre fue de 3,2% y acumula 35,8% en los últimos doce meses. El Indec dio a conocer el indicador que muestra una baja respecto de octubre, cuando fue pico con 3,8%. Desde enero el aumento del IPC fue del 30,9%.
Comenzamos con el tema de la semana que daría mucho para hablar. Ginés González García puso en duda que la vacuna rusa llegue en diciembre: “Tenemos dificultades con los aviones”. El ministro de Salud dijo que, a pesar de esto, sigue siendo la voluntad del Gobierno traer las 300 mil inyecciones que Alberto Fernández había anticipado que llegarían.

Un defensor oficial dictaminó que Amado Boudou debería cumplir su condena en su casa en beneficio de sus dos hijos mellizos, de dos años, para asegurar que se garantice el fin superior que los ampara. En paralelo, una psicóloga oficial que sigue el caso opinó que una separación implica vulnerar los derechos de los niños y "puede afectar gravemente su salud psicofísica".

MIÉRCOLES:

Ginés González García habló de las trabas para la llegada de la vacuna de Pfizer: “Piden condiciones inaceptables”. El ministro de Salud lo dijo en la conferencia de prensa posterior a la reunión con titulares de las carteras sanitarias provinciales por el aumento de casos de coronavirus. Evitó confirmar si la vacuna rusa llegará antes de fin de año.
Escándalo en Chubut, en una cámara oculta un diputado provincial pide dinero para hacer lobby para una minera. Un empresario grabó a Sebastián López, actual legislador provincial. Lo habría hecho antes de que López asumiera en la Legislatura local. El acusado dice que es falso.
El consumo se derrumbó en noviembre un 8,4%. Se trata de la mayor caída en el consumo en lo que va del año.

JUEVES:

En la noticia que traería más conmoción en la semana Vladimir Putin dijo que aún no se aplicó la vacuna rusa Sputnik V porque no se recomienda para mayores de 60 años“A la gente como yo la vacuna todavía no llega”, dijo el mandatario que el 7 octubre pasado cumplió 68 años.
Debido a esto Alberto Fernández, Cristina Kirchner y Ginés González García no podrán aplicarse la vacuna rusa en una primera etapa. El presidente argentino, que tiene 61 años, había prometido ser el primero en inocularse.
Luis D’Elía declaró “O metemos una Corte nueva o en febrero Cristina está en cana”. El piquetero aseguró que el Gobierno debe ampliar a 11 el número de jueces en el máximo tribunal y “pasar a ser mayoría”.
Tenían reserva para vacacionar en Puerto Madryn pero no los dejaron entrar a Chubut. A través de las redes sociales una mujer que emprendió viaje junto a su pareja desde Rosario contó la mala experiencia que tuvo por no poder ingresar a la provincia a pesar de tener reserva, el permiso nacional para viajar y el seguro Covid. Afirma que en el control policial no los dejaron pasar porque no tenían el permiso provincial, algo que no fue anunciado como requisito en el marco de la reapertura del turismo.

Ginés González García dijo que en el Gobierno están “molestos con la actitud de Pfizer”. El ministro de Salud reiteró que en la farmacéutica “pidieron algunas condiciones que no estaban dadas en la legislación” para entregar sus vacunas contra el coronavirus.
Lanzan los Precios Cuidados para telefonía, Internet y TV paga, para 10 millones de personas.

Hola, y bienvenidos al Resumen Semanal de noticias Número 13, correspondiente a la tercera semana de noviembre de 2020.
TL;DR: acá está el video.
DOMINGO:

Prorrogan la prohibición de despidos y la doble indemnización. El ministro de Trabajo, Claudio Moroni, afirmó "Siempre dijimos que mientras se mantuviera un escenario extraordinario íbamos a mantener medidas extraordinarias" y agregó: "Si bien estamos entrando en una etapa de recuperación económica importante, vamos a mantener las medidas sobre despidos y suspensiones por fuerza mayor".
Cafiero pidió no "criminalizar” a Alberto Fernández por la polémica foto sin barbijo junto a Evo Morales. El Jefe de Gabinete calificó la imagen del presidente junto al ex mandatario de Bolivia sin medidas de distanciamiento social como “matices” que no deberían ocurrir en la imagen del Gobierno, aunque advirtió que el Presidente está atendido las 24 horas por especialistas.
Con una nueva Carta Cristina Kirchner le marca la cancha a la negociación de Guzmán con el FMI. El bloque de senadores, que responde a la vicepresidente, lanzó un mensaje al Fondo sobre la negociación en marcha: "Solicitamos que se abstenga de exigir o condicionar las políticas económicas".

LUNES:

Mientras las aulas siguen cerradas, reabren el Casino Flotante de Puerto Madero y el Hipódromo de Palermo.

Un subcomisario de la Bonaerense manejó ebrio, mató a dos jóvenes y quiso fugarse. Javier Rivero, quien conduce la Comisaría Quinta de La Plata y dio positivo en el test de alcoholemia, manejaba su auto, atropelló a una moto e intentó escapar. El hecho ocurrió el domingo a las 8 en Florencio Varela. Finalmente los vecinos lo detuvieron.

El gobierno nacional ratifica bono de fin de año "para sectores que la han pasado mal". De esta manera proyecta tres programas que reemplazan el IFE para quienes fueron beneficiados por dicha asistencia. Así mismo se duplicarán los montos de la Tarjeta Alimentar.
Por decreto el gobierno busca asegurar qué porcentaje de palo y polvo debe tener la yerba mate. Es increíble que debamos hacer esta pausa, pero tenemos que aclarar que esto no es un chiste o una noticia del día de los inocentes o april fools' day, la noticia es real y como siempre pueden buscar los links en el sitio, prosigo. A través de la Resolución 379/2020 publicada este lunes en el Boletín Oficial, el Gobierno nacional reguló la presencia de palo y polvo en la yerba mate con el objetivo de lograr un "producto de buena calidad" y para asegurar la "inocuidad" de esa materia prima.
Por el Impuesto al Viento las empresas de energía eólica van a la justicia. En lugar de cobrarles por sus metros, la tasa municipal de Puerto Madryn las gravaría según su por su producción, por lo que los tributos subirían más de 10 veces.

MARTES:

En los 11 meses del actual gobierno la deuda pública aumentó en USD 19.846 millones, un 45% del monto que se renegociará con el FMI. El déficit fiscal volvió a provocar en octubre necesidades netas de financiamiento de la administración pública por USD 1.785 millones, pero el incremento final se atenuó a casi la mitad por efecto de la devaluación del peso.
El blue retomó la suba y el Banco Central volvió a vender reservas. El dólar blue retomó la tendencia alcista y cerró a $163. Fue luego de desplomarse $10 el lunes gracias a la aparición de las denominadas "manos amigas" en el mercado paralelo. Fuentes oficiales confirmaron que el Banco Central vendió reservas por unos USD 39 millones.
Con poco distanciamiento social y escasez de barbijos, el oficialismo copó la calle a la espera de la sanción del impuesto a las grandes fortunas en el marco del día de la militancia peronista.
Levantaron el aislamiento preventivo a Sergio Massa y volvió para presidir la sesión en Diputados donde se trataría el impuesto a la riqueza. El presidente de la Cámara baja se trasladó al Congreso luego de conocer que Luis Cubeddu, integrante de la misión del FMI que había dado positivo de coronavirus, fue hisopado por tercera vez y ya no se encontraba infectado.
En una declaración que recuerda al proyecto de "democratización de la justicia" Oscar Parrilli propuso que los jueces sean designados “por voto popular”. El senador cristinista, que había sido humillado telefónicamente por la vicepresidente, consideró que “más que independencia, hay que tratar de evitar la arbitrariedad” de los magistrados.
Alertan por aumentos de hasta 20% en la carne. Así lo afirmó Juan Eiras de la Cámara Argentina de Feedlot. Dijo que en los próximos días puede haber aumentos de entre 10% y 20%. El valor de la carne tuvo leves subas en estos meses, pero en el interanual alcanza el 57%.
En medio de las disputas por el uso de armas no letales en Chubut la policía podrá dispararle a quien lo amenace con cuchillo. Todo efectivo estará facultado para tomar esa determinación si es amedrentado por alguien con un arma blanca a menos de 6,5 metros de distancia. Lo establece el “Protocolo para la utilización de las armas de fuego en situaciones complejas con agresiones con armas blancas” que dio a conocer el Ministerio de Seguridad en el Boletín Oficial.

MIÉRCOLES:

Una pregunta en el CBC sobre la gestión de Macri instaló la polémica sobre el adoctrinamiento político. La pregunta de un exámen de Introducción al Pensamiento Científico comenzaba con la siguiente frase: “En el gobierno de Mauricio Macri hubo un retraso científico y tecnológico porque…”, y las opciones posibles eran tan tendenciosas como la premisa planteada.
Alberto Fernández aclaró que "en marzo va a poder suministrarse la primera vacuna” fabricada entre la Argentina y México. El Presidente estimó que en 4 meses estará disponible en el país la vacuna de Oxford-AstraZeneca, y mantiene la expectativa de que en diciembre lleguen las dosis de Sputnik V.
En medio de fuertes cruces se aprobó el Impuesto a la Riqueza presentado por Máximo Kirchner. A instancias del kirchnerismo, la Cámara de Diputados aprobó por la madrugada, con 133 votos a favor y gracias al apoyo de bloques menores de la oposición, el proyecto sobre el impuesto a las grandes fortunas, que deberá, ahora, ser tratado en un Senado con mayoría oficialista.
En el marco de la Causa de los Cuadernos la Cámara Federal de Casación Penal analiza anular las confesiones de los arrepentidos. Si así resolviera la Sala I, los procesamientos de la vicepresidente Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, el ex ministro de Planificación Julio de Vido y el ex secretario de Obras Públicas José López quedarían sin efecto pese a la evidencia en contra.
La intendente de Quilmes, uno de los distritos más pobres e inseguros del Conurbano Bonaerense, Mayra Mendoza, se mezcló con las masas militantes y festejó el “día de la militancia peronista”.
En Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, la Prefectura enterró pollos de contrabando y vecinos excavaron para comerlo. Eran 1.200 cajas de pata muslo que la fuerza de seguridad había decomisado y tirado en una tosquera. Las imágenes son impactantes y manifiestan la verdadera pobreza en la que está sumergida el país.
Desde que asumió, el Gobierno de Alberto Fernández creó y/o aumentó 15 impuestos. El número surge de un relevamiento del economista Esteban Domecq quien agregó "A pesar de todos los impuestos que se vienen creando desde diciembre de 2019, el déficit fiscal proyectado para este año está en el orden de 7,5%".
Nuevamente por decreto y luego de haber derogado la cláusula gatillo del gobierno anterior, Alberto Fernández otorgará un aumento del 5% a los jubilados. La suba regirá desde diciembre hasta febrero, cuando se produzca la entrada en vigencia de la nueva fórmula propuesta por el Gobierno. El aumento sería inferior a la inflación proyectada para todo 2020.

JUEVES:

Flybondi suspende vuelos en Rosario por la falta de definiciones del Gobierno. Hasta que se normalice la situación de viajes regulares y de los pasajeros habilitados, la compañía optó por congelar la ruta desde esa ciudad santafesina a Puerto Iguazú así como también a Salta.
La Corte falló contra Gildo Insfrán y ordenó la libre circulación de los más de 7.500 formoseños varados desde que comenzó la pandemia. El Máximo Tribunal resolvió por unanimidad que las autoridades provinciales resuelvan la situación de las personas que aún no pudieron regresar a la provincia en un plazo máximo de 15 días.
El impuesto a la riqueza llegaría a quienes se radicaron en el exterior este año. Según tributaristas, deberán pagar quienes eran residentes en el país al 31 de diciembre de 2019. También hay una cláusula antielusión de 180 días.
La titular de la Anses afirmó que este año las jubilaciones le ganaron a la inflación. Fernanda Raverta aseguró: "El aumento fue del 35,3% en lo que va del año y en cada uno de los aumentos trimestrales más del 70% le fue ganando a la inflación".
Alberto Fernández afirmó que "La inestabilidad cambiaria va a terminar cuando acordemos con el FMI". Las declaraciones del Jefe de Estado tienen lugar mientras la misión del Fondo Monetario Internacional se encuentra en el país para negociar un nuevo programa financiero para no tener que pagar hasta el 2025 la deuda de capital, y sus respectivos intereses, de casi 44.000 millones de dólares recibida entre 2018 y 2019.
Las reservas del BCRA están en caída libre y cerca de quebrar el nuevo "piso psicológico" de USD 39.000 millones de reservas brutas.

Roberto Lavagna cuestionó el impuesto a la riqueza y aseguró “La inversión no se alienta con látigo”. Así se diferenció de los diputados de su espacio que votaron a favor para que consiguiera la media sanción en el Congreso.
Por la quita de la coparticipación, la Ciudad les cobrará impuesto a los gastos con tarjetas de crédito. El Gobierno porteño presentó este viernes el Presupuesto 2021. Para compensar la pérdida de fondos también frenarán obras públicas y recortarán gastos, así mismo se quitará la excepción de Ingresos Brutos a las Leliqs.
El kirchnerismo avanza en el Senado con el proyecto que modifica la elección y el mandato del Procurador General. El oficialismo emitió dictamen del proyecto que establece que la elección es con mayoría simple y le pone plazo de cinco años a la duración del cargo. La oposición rechazó los cambios que pasaron a la firma digital de los integrantes de la Comisión de Justicia.
El blue cayó $11 en una semana en la que el BCRA vendió poco más de USD 100 millones. La divisa perdió $2 en la rueda del viernes, pero la caída de las reservas vuelve a preocupar al mercado ya que el jueves finalmente se informó que perforaron los USD 39 mil millones.

Daily Skins Review - S6 E3 “Alex”

After the unfortunate death of Grace, we move on to the next episode, three, titled “Alex”. Now, I obviously know who Alex is, but at the time he just kinda came out of nowhere, so let’s see what this new character has to offer. Last time they did this it was Sketch, which was a fucking shambles. Let’s go.
The camera pans across to an alarm as we see a map and some sailing paraphernalia as some dodgy music starts playing (perfect opportunity to use Fisherman’s Blues but whatever). Some bloke (Alex) then counts down the seconds before his alarm goes off and then hops up and gets dressed. He picks up a list with 6 numbers and some writing written on it and he also picks up a die. Alex then takes some breakfast to a woman who I assume is his grandmother and then gets a call from his dad who asks him if he’s ready to move house the next week. Alex’s grandmother makes a rather disrespectful gesture at the sound of Alex’s dad’s voice, who mentions that she’s being put in a home soon. She then calls him a “silly old twat” when he hangs up (wow, how she gonna do her own son like that?) and asks if he even wished Alex any luck. She tells him he doesn’t need it anyway and Alex is next seen messing about with his die and list at a bus stop. Alex is next seen being shown around Roundview by Doug, who tells him that his father changed some of his subjects around (what a silly old twat). Alex is introduced to his class, which Liv, Mini, Alo and Nick are also in and we find out that Doug is now the head teacher (finally, the real MVP is leading the line). Alex messes about with his die again as he and Liv share a glance. He sits in the canteen and notices Grace’s memorial, while also looking at Liv as she pours some vodka into her drink (just casually in the middle of a school I might add). He catches her eye and they smirk at each other (fuck me, first Rider, then Matty and now Alex. Liv does love a proper impromptu relationship). Alex takes out his list of six options (which I’m not gonna type out, but they’re all a bit odd) and rolls his die. He lands a two, which is “punch the next person to walk in”, who just happens to be young Alo Creevey. He’s arguing with Nick, who’s complaining that he’s partners with Rich for some project, but he’s obviously not in for the foreseeable future. Alex then gets up and fucking sparks Alo out of it in front of everyone before helping him up, apologising and telling him it’s “only numbers” as he walks off. Liv seems impressed (didn’t realise she liked some good old assault).
We then see Liv at her locker, who approaches Mini and confronts her about avoiding her lately because she doesn’t want to talk about Grace, which Mini denies. Mini gets upset and storms off, the lurking Alex in the background viewing the whole thing. Liv notices him and asks him what his deal is and why he socked poor Alo. He then gives this whole “numbers” thing (which I get is supposed to be a quirk of some sort, but it’s really cringeworthy to me). He then demonstrates, rolling a three and then kissing Liv. She reciprocates...by slapping him. She then sort of smiles and they introduce themselves to each other. And then she’s walking to his house (like I said, it doesn’t take much to convince old Liv to do anything). Alex then finds his Gran in a closet and introduces her to Liv. She tells Liv she “likes to colour” of her and they share a laugh. Alex then serves then beans on toast (good bit a food that) and Alex’s Gran does some reminiscing. However, things go south when she starts talking about being put in a home and about Alex’s dad. As he sees Liv out, she invites him to the pub, Alex telling her he might come. Alex then reads to his Gran and ignores a call from his dad. He arrives at the pub (despite not knowing what time they were going at) and sees the gang minus Rich (and Matty and Grace obviously) looking rather dejected. He goes over and asks if any of them want a shot (Alo getting confused and thinking Alex is offering him out). As Alex goes to get drinks, Alo complains about him and Mini tells Liv they don’t need any new friends (honestly, the way characters treat each other in this show, it’s hard to believe they’re friends at all). Nick comes up beside Alex at the bar and he asks Nick what Grace was like, Nick telling Alex he’s alright but just to “leave that alone” (yeah, why is Alex such a nosy twat?). Liv introduces them all to Alex, Mini quickly downing her shots before going for a dance with some prat. Alex notes Alo’s annoyance at Mini’s behaviour as he points out that they’re all “a little on edge” (I don’t really think Angie’s psychology class would be needed to spot that to be honest Alex). Alo then gets up to dance, nobody joining in, Nick telling him that’s gay (this show would be cancelled today just for that joke alone). Alex then gets a phone call and goes outside as Nick agrees to dance with Alo. Being the only two alone, Franky and Liv gaze at each other, not speaking. Alex has another angry phone call with his twat of a father and then goes to some shady casino with Liv. After an intense poker game with a load of Asians which ends in an Alex victory, one of the players goes mental and accuses Alex of being a “fucking cheat”. Alex then invites the man for a game of heads and tails for the money, daring the man to choose tails, which he does. He flips the coin to the man, which lands on heads. Liv collects the money and Alex shakes the man’s hand and they start to walk away. However, the man discovers that Alex used a double sided coin and he and Liv have to leg it. Alex then has to go back to his Gran and gives Liv some of the money. He kisses her cheek before she heads off. He then takes out his phone, goes on some gay dating app and hooks up with some man (well, that came out of nowhere). Alex gets offended when his fling offers him some money, Alex exclaiming that he’s “not a rent boy” before ripping up the money, kissing the man’s cheek and leaving.
Alex does his countdown before alarm nonsense again before caring for his grandmother and ignoring his father. We then see him in school as Liv approaches and he rolls his die again. He lands a one so he and Liv break into someone’s house. The house they’re in is messy with porn magazines scattered around (Sid’s house maybe?). To mess with the guy, they clean up, leaving his room spotless. Liv starts making a move on Alex, who starts to explain something to her (likely that he’s gay) but they have to run when the man (who’s not Sid unfortunately) comes home. They head back to his but Alex finds his dad at home. They have an icy exchange, Alex wanting not wanting to put his grandmother in a home and offering to look after her. He leaves and tells Alex he’ll be back later. We then have a nice scene as Alex dances with his grandmother, Liv joining in. We then see Alex at college, introducing Nick to the concept of the die. Nick starts reading off his list which involves outcomes such as hanging himself and getting into heroin (that might’ve been the best tragic humour this show has done). Alex tells him to starts smaller and they start to make a new list until they’re interrupted by some bloke who’s making an announcement (he’s literally the biggest Percy Weasely I’ve ever seen). He announces they’re having a memorial service for Grace, his manner proving to be off putting for Liv, Nick, Alo and Mini who don’t want to go. However, things turn sour when Mini accuses Liv of trying to speak for all of them, causing Liv to get upset. Alex goes after her and finds her crying. He consoles her and Liv kisses him. However, just as Mini approaches to, Alex reveals to Liv that he’s gay (which shouldn’t be surprising considering each generation needs a gay character. This wouldn’t be Skins otherwise). She calls him a headfuck (I can’t stress enough how overused that word is in this generation) and accuses him of being spineless. She gets angry with him as Mini reveals herself and piles on, Alex leaving. Liv then tells Mini to do one. Alex sprints out of the school and back home. He calls his grandmother, finding her in bed, her eyes shut. He looks at her bedside locker, picking up the empty pill bottle that was lying on its side. Alex takes the picture of the boat that was in her hand, kissing her head as he starts to cry. We then see Liv at Grace’s memorial, stony faced among the tearful crowd. Percy Weasely whips out a keyboard and him and some other girl sing, to Liv’s disgust. Mini and Franky join her and they look on at the distasteful glorifying of Grace’s death. Franky marches up and pulls at Percy’s keyboard, insulting him (wait, there might be enough time for redemption for Franky...). Liv joins and smashes his keyboard and then flashes the crowd (...Liv. Why’d you do that?). She runs off crying and gets a phone call from Alex, who’s watching her from afar. He apologises and offers to help her. “With everything”.
A blue van pulls up near the sea (or just some stretch of water at Bristol. My UK geographical knowledge isn’t amazing, but isn’t Bristol coastal? Like near Wales and that?). The gang (minus Rich of course) get out and we see a man loading stuff onto a boat. Alex stands aboard and they all sail out. They have a drug fuelled party out at sea. When Liv asks Alex if he stole the boat (yes Liv, I forgot how simple it is to steal a whole fucking boat) but he says he rented it because he thought they all needed it. When Liv questions his motives as he didn’t know Grace, he tells her he “needs a friend right now” and then motions at Mini, telling Liv that “so does she”. As Liv and Mini try and fail to reconcile, Mini sits down on something. She then becomes curious to what it is, freaking out when she finds Alex’s grandmother’s body resting inside. The gang then question Alex’s decision to bring a dead body to their boat party (which is understandable. Alex is alright but he could definitely be the type to murder them all and sink the boat). He goes on to explain that he wants them to help him bury his grandmother at sea. Before they dump her in the water, he reads from that sailor diary, the gang crying about Grace, before they throw her on the water, the casket floating for a few moments before Alex does some weird finger gun shit, counts to down from three, then shoots the casket, it sinking on his cue. Franky then rings Matty, going to voicemail, then telling him it’s her and “don’t ever come back”. Liv and Alex agree to be mates and Alex does another die roll, rolling a six, “Always run away”. So they both jump in. Liv throws the die and they both swim after it.
Okay, new character introduced. And he’s actually pretty good. Obviously he’s a bit overly enigmatic and is definitely not a realistic teenager, but he’s got a pretty good story and just made the season more interesting and brought it back to life. I know this episode was a bit bleak, but Alex’s pretty ridiculous ongoings in this episode really shadowed the entertaining stories that we saw in Gen One and Two. He was a real breath of fresh air, as was this episode in general. Anyway, take note of: - Character of Alex - Fractured morale among the group - Gang somewhat coming to terms with Grace’s death - Franky’s voicemail to Matty - Alo and Mini’s romantic tension
So yea, that was a refreshing episode. It might’ve been a bit over the top, but Alex was the kind of character needed to keep this generation interesting and to add something new. And the overall plot of this one was quite good for all the characters.
Overall Rating: 8/10

A Guide to the Differences Between JRPGs Ports and Enhanced Versions (Part 1).

A new day, a new guide.
This is the hardest one of the guides I wanted to make, because the information is never easy to get, which is weird. So please forgive me if I missed some changes, and by all means tell me if I missed any of them or if any of them are incorrect.
Since this list is really long, this guide is going to come in parts, this part covers:

Valkyrie Profile (PSX) vs Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP vs iOS & Andriod).
Chrono Trigger (SNES) vs Chrono Trigger (PSX vs NDS vs iOS & Andriod vs PC).
Star Ocean 2 (PSX) vs Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP) vs PS4 (JP.ver).
The Last Remnant (Xbox360) vs The Last Remnant Remastered (PC vs PS4 & Switch).
Tales of Vesperia (Xbox360) vs Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (PS4/PC/Switch/Xbox One).
Tales of Symphonia (GC) vs Tales of Symphonia (PS2 (JP.ver only) vs PS3/PC).
Skies of Arcadia (DC) vs Skies of Arcadia: Legends (GC).
Person 3 (PS2) vs Persona 3 FES (PS2 (English.ver)) vs Persona 3P (PSP).
Persona 4 (PS2) vs Persona 4 Golden (Vita vs PC).
.hack//G.U (PS2) vs .hack//G.U. Last Recode (PS4/PC).
Final Fantasy 12 (PS2) vs FF 12: International Zodiac Job System PS2 (JP.ver only) vs FF12 Zodiac Age (PS4/PC/Switch/Xbox One).
Rune Factory 4 (3DS) vs Rune Factory 4 Special (Switch).

Important Notes:

This is made for Ports and Enhanced versions, so No Remakes. So this is about differences between the different versions of Chrono Trigger, and not about the differences between FF7 ps1 and FF7 Remake.
The differences are taken from all over the internet, either from official sources, wikis, youtube, and even forums.
I cover all the changes for a game, unless there is too many, in which case I will highlight the ones worth mentioning.

~ Valkyrie profile (PSX US.ver): vs Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth PSP vs iOS & Andriod. ~

Valkyrie profile PSX:
Nearly identical to the Japan version but with minor fixes in the menu screen. In the Japanese version, Characters not in the party were unable to change or learn skills nor were they able change or remove equipment. The US version allowed out of party members to change and learn skills as well as change or remove equipment without being added to the party. Also in the Japanese version, Lenneth would unequip all her skills and equipment when switching between sword and bow. The US version 'remembers' the previous setting when switching weaponry and is automatically equipped with the skills and equip. Another improvement over the Japanese version is an improved item sorting option.
There are a few instances of censoring such as Badrach's smoking.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth PSP:
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth lacks the improvement made in US version. Rather than re-rendering the textures of the dungeon maps, TOSE cropped and upscaled the pre-rendered images to fit the portable console's screen, resulting in severe blurring in some areas. This version also removes the anime opening movie in favor of 3D CGI, animated movie. Certain key story-sequences were animated in the same style as the opening movie and can be viewed at anytime in the Gallery option in the title screen once unlocked in the story. The animated scenes include:

Opening Movie

Lenneth's Awakening

Jelanda's Transformation

Alicia witnesses Barbarossa's execution

Lenneth's encounter with the Lord of the Undead

Lenneth and the Homunculi

A chance encounter between "Meril" and Lucian

Lenneth in Weeping Lily Meadow

Lucian's departure to Valhalla

Hrist's Awakening

The Sovereign's Rite

A Ending

Other big changes are:

An enhanced version of the original game's localization

Square Enix cleaned up the original game's English script and additional voice over dialogue for the CG movies was recorded by New Generation Pictures, rather than the original company, TAJ Productions.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth iOS & Andriod:
This is the PSP version being ported to iOS & Andriod, with the following changes:

Enhanced graphics such as character portraits. >* Enhanced Text.

Enhanced UI.

The option to skip cut-scenes.

In-app purchases to unlock collectibles

Ability to turn on auto-battle.

~ Chrono Trigger (SNES): PSX vs NDS vs iOS & Andriod vs PC. ~

Chrono Trigger PSX:
Anime cut scenes created by original character designer Akira Toriyama's Bird Studio and animated by Toei Animation.
A new Extra Mode Option was added that is divided into different categories of viewable extras, that are unlocked as you finish the game, and just as shown in the picture, they are:

Theater.

Art Gallery.

Music Box.

Tech Showcase.

Monster Data.

Boss Data.

Endings.

Treasure Map.

Chrono Trigger NDS:
This version includes everything new in the PSX version, and also has big and a long list of changes and additions, which I will try to condense them as much as possible:

Ability to play using the two screens and the touch screen, or in classic mode through a single screen.

Added the Arena of Ages: A monster arena where You pick basic monsters and raise them to fight computer and wireless opponents.

Added the Lost Sanctum: A sidequest during the main game. It consists of two dungeons in two different eras.

Added the Dimensional Vortex: A extra Dungeon, available after beating the game once and appears in three different eras. Each dungeon is different.

A lot of New Items.

New Enemies in the new dungeons, in the form of palette swaps of old enemies.

One New Ending after finishing the Dimensional Vortex completely.

New Translation that changes a lot of names form the original version to something more faithful to the Japanese version.

Chrono Trigger iOS & Android:
Both versions initially were based on the NDS version, but later on got an update to make them similar to the PC version.

Chrono Trigger PC:
Everything on the NDS version is present here except there is No Arena of Ages. What they did add however is:

Auto-Save feature.

Higher Resolution Graphics and update UI.

Support for mouse and keyboard controls.

Remastered sound and music.

~ Star Ocean: The Second Story (PSX): vs Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP) vs PS4 (JP.ver). ~

Star Ocean: Second Evolution:

A New Translation that changes almost everything in the game.

New voice actors. >* New voiced acted scenes; All major story events now have voice acting.

New recruitable character: Welch Vineyard.

New Private Actions and 13 new Endings.

Unlocking the Galaxy and Universe modes now require defeating a specific number of enemies in a single playthrough rather than unlocking voices in the Voice Collection. >>>* Practically all Combat Skills have been refined, some being removed (such as Cancel, which is now automatically implemented).

The combat system has been slightly refined, now allowing all melee fighters to perform a 3-hit combo as their normal attack.

The Super Specialty "Bunny Call" no longer allows the player to "climb" on towns and some terrains. The player now will enter a town upon approaching while in Bunny Form, and can even activate private actions.

All items in the inventory screen are now depicted as 2D icons instead of the original 3D models.

Many bugs and glitches have been fixed (most notably the infamous random Cave of Trials screen freeze).

Ring of Lightspeed (called Slayer Ring in Second Story) now works on Dias Flac.

New character designs and portraits.

No magic combo mechanic.

Crafting animations are now replaced by a still 2D image.

Star Ocean: Second Evolution PS4 JP.ver:

~ The Last Remnant (Xbox360): vs PC vs PS4 & Switch Remastered. ~

The Last Remnant PC:

Additionally, Arcana and offensive Special Arts now raise morale by a fixed amount.

Likewise, certain Enemy Arts now lower morale by a fixed amount.

Wards now affect the entire union.

Attributes required for formation upgrades are vastly different.

Healing no longer raises morale, and morale increased by Critical Hits has been dramatically reduced.

Union morale now fluctuates based on more conditions (IE: taking an action, successfully landing a hit, receiving damage, etc.). In the X360 version, union morale stayed somewhat static, usually changing when being healed, being KO'd/terminated, executing a successful Critical Trigger. It also did not drop to 0 whenever an offensive Special Art was executed, whereas it will do so on the PC.

Linking additional enemies together does not increase your Battle Rank further than having fought them separately.

Special commands, such as the use of David's Gae Bolg, are no longer interrupted by being raidlocked by a different union or having targeted enemy union defeated by an ally.

Allies now have the option to cure a friendly union's Curse status ailment via "Cure them even if it kills them!" command. This command is in the XBOX 360 version as well, but is only available when the union is Enthralled; it will not be available when the union is cursed.

Items:

Items are color-coded in the PC version, and a new preview feature lets you see what the item looks like in battle.

You can now toggle between viewing the stats of a weapon or shield and viewing a preview of what it looks like in battle.

The experience required to advance Wield Style skills has been reduced, and the experience required to advance Weapon Type skills has been increased.

Three new classes are now available: Ataraxian, Cleric, and Ninja.

The Guardian, Fencer, and Warrior classes now require non-sovani wield styles, and are thus not available to Sovani.

The Gladiator class now requires Power Grip and Wards.

Hybrid classes (Item+Combat and Mystic+Combat) can now be achieved by units who do not start in one.

Some leaders now have a different weapon upgrade path, which caused some units to learn new Weapon Arts while others lost theirs.

Leaders can request weapons that do not coincide with their weapon upgrade path as long as they match their equipped weapon type and size.

Soldiers can now request weapon drops.

Some units have had their starting Unit BR level, stats, class, equipment, arts, and hiring wage changed.

The Leader Extraordinaire guild tasks which required three units of a single class now only require one.

The Monsterslayer guild tasks require different enemies to be defeated.

New Game Plus and Hard Mode: After the epilogue and credits, you can now save your game. When you're taken back to the main menu, you can load this save to begin a new playthrough that carries over certain elements from your previous playthrough. You will also be given the option to start the new game in Hard Mode.
Miscellaneous:

The PC version will warn you if you cannot leave an area without a fight.

Auto Save is now available, which automatically saves after having changed zones or having won a battle.

Battle Rank is now viewable outside of combat, in the party menu.

Battle Rank progression has been slowed considerably; it takes more encounters/enemy unions terminated to increase in rank.

Characters with … icons are now identified with markers on the map.

Enemies can no longer be respawned by saving and reloading an adjacent area.

New saving opportunities are now available, such as before the base's boss.

A warning message is now displayed if you attempt to save your game in an area which you cannot leave until you defeat a boss.

Mr Diggs's digging animations are now much quicker.

The loading screens that explained some of the game's mechanics have been disabled.

Many areas of the game have had their spawn tables altered or repopulated.

Soldiers now slowly improve their stats in reserves.

More customs.

Dual-audio support: Japanese and English voiceovers, which neither the PS2 or GameCube versions had

Cutscenes support voice acting in both languages, but skits only have voice acting in Japanese. If you select English, you will just see the subtitles during skits. This is not a porting issue, as this is just how the GameCube version was.

While the original GameCube version ran at 60fps, the Japanese PS2 port which the PS3 Chronicles HD version is based off of ran at 30fps. The Steam version can run at 40FPS.

HD graphics

~ Skies of Arcadia (DC): vs Skies of Arcadia: Legends GC. ~

Skies of Arcadia: Legends GC:

New Ranks for the Swashbuckler Rating system.

Random encounters occur less frequently and load considerably faster than the Dreamcast version, and EXP offered per battle is adjusted to compensate.

Graphically, the game sports mild improvements to character models, most noticeably adding individual fingers to the designs. The modifier volume shadows and (weirdly enough) point-mipmapping from the original release are still present.

One of the new sidequests available is Bounty Hunting. Sailor's Guilds offer information about each person on the bounty list as they are unlocked through story progression. After reading about them, they can be found in a constant location.

There are a number of new discoveries to be found.

Two linked sidequests

"Pinta Quest" minigame was removed

DLC comes with the game.

~ Persona 3 (PS2): vs Persona 3 FES PS2 (English.ver) vs P3P PSP. ~

P3P PSP:

The Answer is not included in this verion.

Added a Female Main Character, so now you can choose between the Male and Female MCs.

The game lacks 3D environments and character models (outside of Tartarus), all anime cutscenes are gone, the graphics and audio quality were compressed,

The storyline of the female protagonist features many differences from that of the male protagonist, such as new social interactions as well as Social Links.

New voiced dialogue.

Players have the choice of selecting Elizabeth or a male-equivalent named Theodore to be Igor's assistant in the Velvet Room.

The ability to pick who the protagonist spends the last moments of the game with. This feature is only accessible on a New Cycle

The Desert of Doors from the Abyss of Time seen in The Answer will still appear, however, in an extra feature known as the Vision Quest. In this mode, the party can fight stronger incarnations of the Full Moon shadow bosses — save for Arcana Magician — and partake in special battles that test the party's abilities. When all of the battles have been successfully met, a second optional boss can be fought: Margaret, Igor's assistant in Persona 4 and guardian of the Desert of Doors in P3P.

There are now two overworld save points; Aside from the log book in the Iwatodai Dormitory, there is also one on the main character's desk at school.

In Paulownia Mall, the police station is now the only place where the protagonist can buy equipment and sell items. Aohige Pharmacy is now a buy-only store, and Be Blue V is just a part-time work site and hangout to improve the main character's condition

From previous versions, two difficulty modes have been added: Beginner and Maniac alongside Easy and Normal in Persona 3 and Hard in Persona 3 FES:

A new tactic, "Direct," has been added to the game, allowing control of the party members, unlike Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES.

The "Wait" command is replaced with the "Defense" command, and will decrease the damage and any knockdown effects of the next attack the user suffers.

The game grants "1 More" to a combatant who attacks multiple enemies not knocking all of them down; the original Persona 3 required all hit enemies to be knocked down for a 1 more.

Party members who have been knocked down no longer spend the turn by getting up and can act as soon as they stand.

Upon landing a critical hit or striking an enemy's weakness, party members can follow up with a co-op attack.

Fusion Spells from the original Persona 3 are now activated from items instead of equipping a persona and selecting it like other spells.

Allies can now take a fatal blow to the protagonist for them if they are able.

"Dizzy" has been added as a status effect.

Returning to the main lobby in Tartarus no longer automatically restores the party, and must now be done for a fee via the save point (this cost varies based on the date in-game and status effects currently inflicted on the party)

Floors can be directly returned to from the entrance of Tartarus instead of being restricted to the restore point like previous versions.

"Tired" status no longer is inflicted during Tartarus exploration, and is inflicted to all used party members after leaving (this will only drop to "Good" if the character used was at "Great" during exploration).

Unlike previous versions, money found by party members when split up will now be given to the protagonist.

Party members' equipment and status can now be accessed at any time from the pause menu, unlike in previous versions, which required the protagonist to speak to them while exploring Tartarus in order to change their equipment or view their status.

You can now control Party members directly.

The protagonists only have access to one weapon type (instead of having access to all weapon types like in P3 and FES); the male protagonist wields one-handed swords, and the female protagonist wields naginatas. As a result, the Skills "Fist Master," "Bow Master," "1hdSwdMaster" and similar skills have all been combined into a single skill called "Weapons Master." Its skill card is called "Phys Boost," and all Personas which had learned a "master" ability (like Cybele with Bow Master) now learn "Weapons Master."

Personas now have the ability to produce a Skill Card when raised to a specific level. Each card can be used on any Persona to teach them a skill.

The Inari Sushi in Naganaki Shrine no longer grants random bonuses for item gaining and Tartarus explorations. Instead, it offers to duplicate Skill Cards, which will take 5 days to complete

Many magick spells and technicks have been tweaked, renamed and recategorized.

Obtaining Quickenings no longer affects max MP and Mist charges do not diminish when MP is consumed (unless the player is affected by a reversed Elixir or Megalixir). The player's MP is also unaffected by the depletion of Mist charges. However, effects that recover the player's MP will also restore Mist charges.

Treasures respawn by moving just one area away as opposed to two. Treasures were moved around, changed the items they can give, or were removed altogether. The "forbidden chest" concept was removed, that in the original prevented the player from obtaining the Zodiac Spear in Necrohol of Nabudis if they opened a wrong treasure.

Dark Matter can no longer be acquired from the bazaar, and selling the ingredients needed to make it in the original will result in making the Dark Energy instead. The Dark Energy is an item that does not charge up with Knot of Rust or Devour Soul and always deals 50,000 damage to each enemy in range.

Treasure chests are now in different locations and contain different items.

There are more traps throughout the map.

MAME 0.223

MAME 0.223 has finally arrived, and what a release it is – there’s definitely something for everyone! Starting with some of the more esoteric additions, Linus Åkesson’s AVR-based hardware chiptune project and Power Ninja Action Challenge demos are now supported. These demos use minimal hardware to generate sound and/or video, relying on precise CPU timings to work. With this release, every hand-held LCD game from Nintendo’s Game & Watch and related lines is supported in MAME, with Donkey Kong Hockey bringing up the rear. Also of note is the Bassmate Computer fishing aid, made by Nintendo and marketed by Telko and other companies, which is clearly based on the dual-screen Game & Watch design. The steady stream of TV games hasn’t stopped, with a number of French releases from Conny/VideoJet among this month’s batch.
For the first time ever, games running on the Barcrest MPU4 video system are emulated well enough to be playable. Titles that are now working include several games based on the popular British TV game show The Crystal Maze, Adders and Ladders, The Mating Game, and Prize Tetris. In a clear win for MAME’s modular architecture, the breakthrough came through the discovery of a significant flaw in our Motorola MC6840 Programmable Timer Module emulation that was causing issues for the Fairlight CMI IIx synthesiser. In the same manner, the Busicom 141-PF desk calculator is now working, thanks to improvements made to Intel 4004 CPU emulation that came out of emulating the INTELLEC 4 development system and the prototype 4004-based controller board for Flicker pinball. The Busicom 141-PF is historically significant, being the first application of Intel’s first microprocessor.
Fans of classic vector arcade games are in for a treat this month. Former project coordinator Aaron Giles has contributed netlist-based sound emulation for thirteen Cinematronics vector games: Space War, Barrier, Star Hawk, Speed Freak, Star Castle, War of the Worlds, Sundance, Tail Gunner, Rip Off, Armor Attack, Warrior, Solar Quest and Boxing Bugs. This resolves long-standing issues with the previous simulation based on playing recorded samples. Colin Howell has also refined the sound emulation for Midway’s 280-ZZZAP and Gun Fight.
V.Smile joystick inputs are now working for all dumped cartridges, and with fixes for ROM bank selection the V.Smile Motion software is also usable. The accelerometer-based V.Smile Motion controller is not emulated, but the software can all be used with the standard V.Smile joystick controller. Another pair of systems with inputs that now work is the original Macintosh (128K/512K/512Ke) and Macintosh Plus. These systems’ keyboards are now fully emulated, including the separate numeric keypad available for the original Macintosh, the Macintosh Plus keyboard with integrated numeric keypad, and a few European ISO layout keyboards for the original Macintosh. There are still some emulation issues, but you can play Beyond Dark Castle with MAME’s Macintosh Plus emulation again.
In other home computer emulation news, MAME’s SAM Coupé driver now supports a number of peripherals that connect to the rear expansion port, a software list containing IRIX hard disk installations for SGI MIPS workstations has been added, and tape loading now works for the Specialist system (a DIY computer designed in the USSR).
Of course, there’s far more to enjoy, and you can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page. (For brevity, promoted V.Smile software list entries and new Barcrest MPU4 clones made up from existing dumps have been omitted here.)

ANALysis…..

So, I said I would write a post on this, here it is. The title was partly to get you interested and partly a little cheeky throwback to the bad old days when u/plucky26 went off meds…
Anyhow, this is a longish post about FA and TA so scroll to the TLDR if reading isn’t your thing, or ignore it. Or if you know more about it than me put a comment in…
FA: FA attempts to measure the intrinsic/inherent value of a stonk. You can do this a lot of ways but what your working out is whether the SP represents undeover value or fair value. A lot goes into FA, but if you want a basic cheat sheet then here it is: - What does the company do?

Who runs the company?
What direction are they heading?
Where have they come from?
How do they stack up against the competition?
What are the other economic/social/political factors that impact their future?

These are the 6 basic questions you need to answer when trying to arrive at a conclusion. So, how do we get answers?
Reading mutha fuckers, reading……
You need to read and understand the product. That’s the answer to question 1. What do these fucks actually do, does anyone care, doe they make tendies?
The answer to question 2 is probably the most undervalued thing in FA IMHO. People, more than products, leave a legacy they transport form place to place. DO NOT DISREGARD THIS STEP…
If old mate is about to get bent over by the Feds for embezzlement, or his wife’s BF has filed a claim against him for watching them through the window, or if he has bankrupted the last 6 places he went then this will impact the SP once its out.
Working out where they are heading runs parallel to the SP more than you might think. The market, in a broader context, is future based. There isn’t a shortcut around this step, its reading, reading reading bitches….
Although Stonk history tells you a story, its more useful for seeing what they have come up against in the past and how the SP reacted to it. What made it Dip, what made it rocket? What is the ROI? And more, all this historical shit gives you a template but not a guaranteed direction.
Question 5 and 6 are where you start to delve into the nuts and bolts. P/E ratio’s, cash runways, market index rankings per sector and all the snooze button shit that hides the details. Im not going to describe what all this is, DR Google is smarter than me and I’m a few stubbies in already so I might lose track of what the fuck I am saying.
Here is a great link https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asp
At the heart of FA is whether you believe the narrative the numbers and words tell you.
IMHO if your only interested in FA, then avoid micro caps.
0.03c - 0.05c SP and a $300 -$500 SP is the same % difference but a world apart in the ability of a Stonk to fluctuate under their market cap and FA just doesn’t give you the type of info you need to accurately make a profit within those margins on micros.
(Happy to be proven wrong on this if you think otherwise.)
That’s fucking great pal you might say, but fast forward to the part where it gets me on the rocket ship before it blasts off….
Ok, well here is a clue. If you have read this far and your already impatient or scrolling down to the TLDR, FA might not be your particular brand of vodka.
So lets get into the occult, the witchcraft that is TA….
TA: Being technically anal is actually easier than you might think.
TA is about trends, historical data and volumes. Sure its about more shit than that but it also kind of isn’t.
Its basically saying this stonk already has a template and I can predict where it will go next if I understand that template.
When stonk go up, what does the chart look like?
When stonk go down, what does chart look like?
Yes, it involves funny squiggly lines and colors.
You’ll also come across all sort of stuff like golden (showers) crosses, cups and handles, head and shoulders, descending triangles and other weird phrases but all they are really doing is describing a pattern.
And patterns are predictable once you can see them.
I am tempted to get super into these patterns, but this post is already long so here is a link: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/technical-analysis-of-stocks-and-trends.asp#:~:text=Technical%20analysis%20is%20the%20study,data%2C%20including%20price%20and%20volume.&text=The%20two%20most%20common%20forms,needed%20to%20make%20a%20profit.
If you a commsex user, then send a tendie to chief Tom because as an avid reader of ASX_Bets he has clearly been up to the R&D spooks over there and told them to improve the graphs on the app.
You can’t do the super technical stuff, but go backwards over any of last weeks rockets (CRO, HYD and some of the smaller cap ones) and go to the 1 day, 5 day and 1 month graphs respectively.
Click on the chart style indicator (the funny line that looks like the ‘Stonks only go up symbol’) and change it to candlesticks. This gives you indicative buy/sell data in pretty colors so its easier to work out.
Then look at the uppelower indicators, you can change it to show you volume, price tracking lines, Bollinger etc..
Have I lost you yet? That’s ok…
Zoom out the 3 month charts with the same settings and OMG, a pattern emerges….
Zoom out again to 6 months, another pattern…
Zoom back in, heres that funny old pattern again…
But wait you say, this stonk keeps hitting a certain point on the graph, then those red columns get huge and it stays there or bounces down again.
Hello resistance line, hello seller volume, hello traders with pre determined exit points. These guys are not super interested in the FA or the intrinsic value of a long term hold, they are interested in making the 5/10/15% what-the-fuck-ever percent and bouncing out.
Hold the fuck on, when it hits a different level those green dildo’s start popping out in the bottom graph and it stays there for a bit then heads up again…. Aloha support level…
Just go look at Zippy with the above parameters on commsex app, youll see exactly what short sellers, swing traders and the like see….
Fair warning: going backwards on the app helps you to recognize patterns but to do the proper witchcraft TA you need the proper tools and programs
Yes matey you’ll be saying again, very interesting but how the fuck does this get me on the rocket ship before blast off?
Well IMHO, there are 3 ways to board the rocket.
1: You have a mate who tells you or they post it somewhere.
2: You jump on after blast off and play the gambling game, freaking out when it dips and missing all your sweet tendies or pretending diamond hands are the only way and watching it dump then losing all your tendies, or bag holding forever. Or you get lucky and pop out at a high, but TBH your really only gambling (someone please comment ‘Sir, this is a casino, I love that shit 😊)
3: You do both of these methods.

FA alerts you to the stonk. You do the reading and think it’s a winner.

-TA sets your entry point so you board before take off and exit before crash landing.

FA helps you determine whether it’s a good hold as its got the legs to break multiple resistance levels over time
TA helps you recognize the famous P&D and set an exit point to bail before you become the proud owner of a piece of shit.

Both methods have their role.
Yes you can use OBV and Fibbo numners to scan for potential like I do sometimes, but that’s a whole other spectrum of TA and its already past bedtime.
FA IMHO is better generally for Mid/Large cap because they are generally less volatile and FA has seasons where its super useful (Earnings months etc…) TA is better for bouncy bounce plays on micros and mid/large.
But don’t go neglecting either at any time, TA tells you things the FA misses and vice versa.
You can always subscribe to a service that does this for you. Intellegent investor is good-ish, so is wallet investor. Motley fuckwit has some ok picks sometimes but gets the fuckin dick from me because they just don’t stop with the fucking propaganda….
Disclosure: Generally the posts on here do ok, but you gotta know when to get off… Unless your planning to holder forever like uncle Wazza, but that just doesn’t seem to be the vibe here…
For what its worth , (before you all tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about) I have posted about 3 stonks on here in the last few months. (admittedly I shit-post a lot too…)
AFG, which went up 18% 2 days after the post, then dumped and has dribbled ever since but if you’re a long holder you’ll do OK and… EDIT: up another 3.19% after this post...
ICU, which is a micro and went up 15.5% the day after the post. Both were the result of FA/TA combination and both delivered tendies of the succulent variety. EDIT: ICU went up a further 52% 2 days since posting then retraced a touch...
OPY which went from an open of 3.14 up to a high of 4.80 the next day, a 52.8% raise then leveled out around the 3.70’s EDIT: up another 13.7% since this post...
Sorry about the long post, I got finished washing the wifes BF’s car early and he let me have the WIFI password…
TLDR: Gamble if you want or learn some shit and make tendies…
Edit: some really good comments below. I have made far more $$ by choosing good Stonks and holding them over the years than I have ever made day trading.
FA is my primary method for choosing and accounts for probably 75% of my decision making and TA fills the gaps to help maximize profit making.
