STOCK MARKET: Let's talk stocks and investing

Shhhh, I don't want to think about my 401k

 

I increased my contribution to the max......might as well load up during this recession lol..

 

Best time to do it.

 

Buy low, sell high ftw

 

SQQQ. Free money, yall. BEEN HAD sayin.

Yall didn't want me at my 18% down. You cant have me at my 50% up.

 

I've been in money market/cash most of this year and in also in my 401K. I started buying in the past 10 days.

 

Come on. Keep on bouncing.

 

GME STILL acts wild, basically its own VIX of sorts, I wonder how long that stock will take to go back to "normal".

 

After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of my 401(k) this year, I decided instead to earn .0031 percent in a MMA. I’m all in! I feel like I’m winning now

 

You're my favorite poster!

1973: -14.66%
1974: -26.47%
2000: -9.10%
2001 : -11.89%
2002 : - 22.10%
2008 : -37.00%

I'm in way more cash than I want to be, but whatever. I sold a ton of my stocks throughout the year - even stuff I'd held onto for around a decade. Most of the year was great for energy stocks, so I dumped money into those and agriculture, but got stopped out and jumped back in later. I'm still buying the S&P, though. I'm not ready to jump into too many more individual stocks yet - just holding onto what I have and maybe DCA down in the next few weeks.

 

I thought about getting a job just to do this. LOL. You're doing it right, though.

 

I just read about these I Bonds, looks like the rate is currently 9.6%.

Seems like a crazy good deal.

 

Yeah, we’ve been talking about those in here since they were “only” around 7% last year. The only problem is you’re limited in how much you can buy, but it’s better than nothing.

 

British Pound crashing hard

 

Better than 2% in a savings account..

 

Depends on how much you want to dump into a CD or savings account. But in any case, dumping whatever you can up to $10k into the i-bond first and whatever you have left into a CD or savings account @ 2-3.5% makes sense. Or just blow it all in Vegas/stock market.

 

The Fed has decided I don’t deserve money. From inflation to rising rates to a mean bear market my money and investments are not safe anywhere.

 

This end of week/month rally is getting sadder and sadder.

 

is META a buy at this level?
Back to 2017 prices..geez

 

You're still betting on the Metaverse strategy working and/or TikTok getting banned. I think TikTok will probably be forced into a sale to a US company but I doubt its going anywhere. And I'm not sold on the VR investment at all.
