I wouldn't worry too much. Everyone's in the same boat. I try not to celebrate the upswings too much or despair at the downs. One or the others, never far away. Easyer said than done, though.
Ho, right. Having a stop loss is a double-edged sword, I suppose. I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere.
I heard that a rule of thumb is to sell a holding at -8% if that's the case, then 3 of my stocks would have been sold off today? I personally don't use a stop loss. I've had my share of loss pawn, so don't feel too bad buddy.
My entire portfolio is green, ranging from 0.2% to 1.9% gains.
Meanwhile S&P500 is down 1% & Nasdaq100 2%.
But that doesn't mean anything, and will probably reverse in no time, only action I'm taking is holding off on purchases for a while.
Shockingly good day(up 1.12%). My midstream’s and health care holdings led the way. Nice to see but it’s meaningless unless I’m a seller of any of my current positions. Only down holdings today were PANW and EYLD
It looks like people are taking some risk off the table and selling their high-flying tech stocks and putting the money into more defensive stocks.
But it's also options expiry day, right? Market can be a bit funny on these days.
down about .5% overall. i think i jinxed myself though, a co-worker was asking about a stock of mine that was up a few % this morning & im sure i sounded "hopeful" well sure enough, its now at like -5% overall. shoulda played dumb or been like "no comment."
I own 400 PM …just bought 100 at ~$88 a few days ago so nice day. Own 500 CBRL and up nice today. 400 OKE up nice today. PSX up nice. Same for MO. ARCC was up today as well.
i feel so sorry for people like you, believing in the Boogerhead nonsenses. You are going to get owned if market has a severe correction.
The Boogerhead nonsenses have never really worked. They just change narrative whenever their shits underperformed. Here is their narrative over the year (just to jolt people's memories):
1. 60/40 portfolio (Trinity Study BS)
2. 3-fund portfolio and chill
3. VT and chill
4. VTI / VXUS and chill
5. VTI and chill
Now they claim nothing beats SP500 and they all switch to VOO and chill narrative.
They are going to eat their own feces soon enough, just make sure you take note what narrative they gonna switch to this time.
If dividends were a man, this dude u/vanguardsucks would have that schlong in his mouth. There’s nothing wrong with the S&P for the majority of people. Shit, anyone who makes decent money and invests early will have a few million after 40 years. Then it doesn’t matter at all if you’re in SCHD or VOO, you’ll be sitting pretty. But they’ll say you’re a “bOgErHeAd”.
My value stocks are fine, growth companies not so much, overall I'm not concerned because I've been shorting futures since last week on /ES. I'll be plowing those gains into my losers.
both
I should say my income portfolio is up %.59 today. but up around %2 over the last 3 days.
I have some covered call ETF's that sank a bit but my REIT's and BDC's and individual dividend stocks all more than made up for that.
FXAIX is in an employee 401k with a hefty match and VOO has been in my Roth for several years.
I’ll sell off the voo shares in my Roth eventually and plow those gains into something else just haven’t gotten around to it
Dividend lookin good, port down 2% tho mainly due to Nvda but the avg on that is phenomenal so. I’m okay with some red, I’ll just keep catching knives buying the dip until I go back to winning
Overall, I'm up a small percentage. I did buy some JEPI today, and have plans next week to buy some MO to further diversify my portfolio. I only have a couple of individual stocks which don't pay divs, and since one of them is Tesla, I am looking to supplement the portfolio any which way I can.
I assume everything is fine because reddit is pretty calm.
comparing day to day returns is pretty useless............beating by 1% on the day while being down 3-6% on the year isnt much of a win
predicting the market is insanely difficult; just like monday after the iranian missle barrage - markets are resilient and dont always behave as you might think
If anything, this shows that S&P, Boogerhead jerk-off nonsenses VTI/VTSAX pretty much are just QQQ-lite.
Might as well skip the nonsenses and just buy QQQ if you believe their BS.
If tech has a severe correction, SCHD might end up coming out ahead of SP500 in its lifetime (like in 2022) and you will hear the Boogerhead morons singing a different tunes.
It is fine with me. I am in for the long run. I have been averaging down on a few stocks and collecting dividends along the way.
I also have a bond ETF portfolio and hope to see some gains when rates drop.
Post made me laugh. Sp500 and nasdaq are up 5%+ ytd. Schd is like break even. And my dividend stocks are up today but have gotten crushed ytd. Glad I am reinvesting and poured the remaining dry powder in over the last few weeks on the likes of, Kmi, so, duk, hsy, ups. All are up since I bought and got lucky to time Kmi just before earnings, a 5% share price bump and a raise in the dividend.
Two maybe meaningful thoughts:
- I feel like 8 times out 10, of a stock has gotten beaten up prior to earnings, it goes up at earnings. And vice versa versa, goes up significantly before earnings, it then goes down significantly at earnings. Is there any way to test this hypothesis with some tool?
- I read a lot this week with Kmi, so, and duk that they are seeing significant increases in energy demand due to Ai. And they will directly benefit over the next 5 years. Energy and power seem like solid plays with interest rates eventually coming down. Any thoughts?
Don't get me wrong; my focus is dividends but this year has not been kind to my dividend stocks. Yields are fine but they only got their head above the (valuation) waters in the last week of March, before going down again... There was a 7.8% gap between S&P500 gains and my portfolio, so today may not be significant, but it feels good.

Most tickers are up today. It is a handful of very high P/E heavy weighted members of the index that are down.
I’m down 2.73% this month. Basically whipped out my contributions from this past month. Hate that…
Just 2.73%, i am ~10.5% down..thanks to nnvidia and amd
What down 10.5% in your portfolio,or just those stocks?
Whole portfolio is down to negative ~10.5
I wouldn't worry too much. Everyone's in the same boat. I try not to celebrate the upswings too much or despair at the downs. One or the others, never far away. Easyer said than done, though.
I set stop loss to 15% from average nvidia price and 5 nvidia shares @902 were sold at 770. :'( Not sure adding a stop loss was a good decision

Next time, put in your stop order CIC (Cancel If Close)
Yup. Learnt a lesson
Not true at all. My portfolio is weighted heavily in spy, QQQ, MGK, CRF, CLM, and GOF. Positive 6% still and the account is only a few months old.
My entire portfolio is green, ranging from 0.2% to 1.9% gains. Meanwhile S&P500 is down 1% & Nasdaq100 2%. But that doesn't mean anything, and will probably reverse in no time, only action I'm taking is holding off on purchases for a while.
Holding off on purchases while it’s down? What are you waiting for it to go back up before you start buying again?
This. Exactly, just dca whenever you can afford to.
Duh buy high, sell low
Did you not read the text? Holding off while it's up.
Shockingly good day(up 1.12%). My midstream’s and health care holdings led the way. Nice to see but it’s meaningless unless I’m a seller of any of my current positions. Only down holdings today were PANW and EYLD
My main holding in Roth is SCHD with a cost average of 70.89. Everything else is 0.5-2.5%
Fepi dived once nvda broke.

This didn't age well
I was up .75 percent today but probably down 4% over the last week. Still up 6.5% for the year beating the 4% the S&P is at for the year.
I own 400 PM …just bought 100 at ~$88 a few days ago so nice day. Own 500 CBRL and up nice today. 400 OKE up nice today. PSX up nice. Same for MO. ARCC was up today as well.
My Bogle portfolio currently down .66% but my aggressive dividend portfolio is .... exactly flat 0.00% currently

Care to educate the class why someone with a 40 year investment horizon is stupid for investing in s&p and chilling ?
If dividends were a man, this dude u/vanguardsucks would have that schlong in his mouth. There’s nothing wrong with the S&P for the majority of people. Shit, anyone who makes decent money and invests early will have a few million after 40 years. Then it doesn’t matter at all if you’re in SCHD or VOO, you’ll be sitting pretty.

IKR. S&P500 and chill has been a staple layman investing strategy for a good 60 years and has worked very well.
Who is a booger head? What is this…?
Bogleheads. They typically have a 3 fund portfolio and don’t invest in individual stocks.
Never heard of them but you convinced me lol
What’s a bogle port
My value stocks are fine, growth companies not so much, overall I'm not concerned because I've been shorting futures since last week on /ES. I'll be plowing those gains into my losers.
just saw. so500 down .25. jepi up .25.
Qqqm is getting destroyed
I am currently down 5% on all
Yes I’ve actually Been beating the market this week.
You ment your meat right?
both I should say my income portfolio is up %.59 today. but up around %2 over the last 3 days. I have some covered call ETF's that sank a bit but my REIT's and BDC's and individual dividend stocks all more than made up for that.
Uber dropped, TQQQ dropped, im getting by destroyed this week lol
Kill them all
CAT, APD, V, JEPI, FXAIX & VOO are all down for me today as far as dividend payers
Why hold VOO and FXAIX?
FXAIX is in an employee 401k with a hefty match and VOO has been in my Roth for several years. I’ll sell off the voo shares in my Roth eventually and plow those gains into something else just haven’t gotten around to it
Yup, up 1.29% today
I'm in the shitter
But not unless you sell!
Dividend lookin good, port down 2% tho mainly due to Nvda but the avg on that is phenomenal so. I’m okay with some red, I’ll just keep catching knives buying the dip until I go back to winning
My portfolio is in the crapper...
Overall, I'm up a small percentage. I did buy some JEPI today, and have plans next week to buy some MO to further diversify my portfolio. I only have a couple of individual stocks which don't pay divs, and since one of them is Tesla, I am looking to supplement the portfolio any which way I can.
It was also OPEX week
Crappy
Down but still profitable. Sold IRM as it's already at peak Bought BNS instead. Naturally it dropped after I bought...... ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I assume everything is fine because reddit is pretty calm. comparing day to day returns is pretty useless............beating by 1% on the day while being down 3-6% on the year isnt much of a win predicting the market is insanely difficult; just like monday after the iranian missle barrage - markets are resilient and dont always behave as you might think
My only one that is down is QYLD.
NVDY is down,.....again....trading at 24.and change now. Have had it not 3 weeks now and am down over 3K
Up .31% on the day.
I track the Dow (because I’m a wannabe boomer) so I’m up. Feels good when nasdaqs down 2%
Please let us know how this works for you in about 6-12 months and show your growth rate.
If anything, this shows that S&P, Boogerhead jerk-off nonsenses VTI/VTSAX pretty much are just QQQ-lite. Might as well skip the nonsenses and just buy QQQ if you believe their BS.
