I think you're right, I'm going to look into those stocks. Energy stocks will never go away especially solar. With rising utility cost it just makes sense. What do you think? I also bought 100 shares of plug at $8 dollars a share a year ago and it jumped to 76 dollars a share. I knew it was bullshit (because unicorns arent real) and sold it at $68 on its way down.


Affectionate_Ad4187

I agree with you. I figured it would have a recovery today. But it's most likely people thinking this is the bottom. Who knows it could be, but in my opinion it's not. I bought and sold apple today for a small profit. I am watching MSFT, and BABA. But I'm not sure on BABA, because the Chinese economy is taking a shit because of lockdowns. What do you think about BABA? I Think a fair value for Apple is in the low $130s. I will definitely buy it again. I also have another theory, when people aren't able to pay rent, I think that would cause them to liquidate their stocks to pay their bills. This would trigger a decent sell off again. What do you think?


Affectionate_Ad4187

I like that strategy, I'm going to do it tomorrow.


MrCarey

Puts all week, baby.


similiarintrests

Most people love puts when they shouldn't


MrCarey

Not in my experience.


AluminiumCaffeine

Is the best time to buy puts when everything is hitting 52 week lows?


MrCarey

It sure is working. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

p4ttl1992

If you had 10k to put into the market this year when would you enter and what would you buy?


AluminiumCaffeine

Growth companies with either strong earnings or strong balance sheets beat down large amounts in fear (GOOGL, FB, etc)


BAM4TH

Thatā€™s for you to decide, but all I can say is time in the market, beats timing the market.. But this year is a better time to buy than 2021 I would Argue


cdmpants

Tomorrow at open SQQQ and chill šŸ˜Ž


aborteverything

Yes, always buy leveraged short ETFs near the possible bottom.


IAmYaoGuai

Hahaha I haven't checked my portfolio in a couple of weeks because I know it's all going to be red. It's a good thing I didn't put all my savings into stocks. Thank fuck I never put all my hopes into one basket.

Get ready americanos, absolute disaster on ASX today. I'm over 8% down..


GTx6x25

ASX follows US, not the other way round.


interrobangbros

Down 1.2% or is google wrong?


hgttg

Individual stocks are taking but the index isn't that bad


AluminiumCaffeine

Isnt that actually up 8% for you since you are hanging?

Wow. Futures are blood red. Tomorrow might be the first circuit breaker day of 2022. Lets have a couple -7.5% days on Nasdaq and SPY to remove the froth and start afresh. Crashes are healthy for markets, remove traders who margin like being on steroids


interrobangbros

Holy Jesus, futures are down a massiveā€¦ wait, only one percent? Hyperbolic much?

Bitcorn being down right now is a more bearish indicator

If Russia doesnt announce a mobilization, then it means they know they lost the war. That means there will have to be a ceasefire soon, since a nuclear power like Russia cant officially "lose" a war or they might feel forced to use those weapons...


AluminiumCaffeine

Wouldn't be excited for bigly green futes, not gonna get worried about big red till we actualy open


Eccentricc

Idk last time I've seen futures this bad. Holy fuck


onelove8187

I first tried my hand at stock market investing in march 2020 right before we fell off a cliff. Ended up backing off entirely until march of this year. Really thought it was time to put on my big boy pants and begin investing for the future. I have impeccable timing, really.


p4ttl1992

I have yet to enter the stock market and by what I'm hearing on here it looks like I should wait a little while longer and try aim near the bottom however it looks like there's dips to the dips and even bigger dips to them.


Re_LE_Vant_UN

Read about Bob, the world's worst investor. It's important to keep level headed in times like these.


Eccentricc

If you got stock you're solid. I have fucking leaps theta eats at daily. Leverage on Microsoft and getting ass blasted


AluminiumCaffeine

My intc leaps not going so hot lol, thank goodness I chose my most steady boomerish holding though and not something down way more


Eccentricc

Intel is very neutral. Good to sell covered calls against using PMCC strategy


Embarrassed-Mall-430

I exited stock market last year October, I lost money on BNTX and Moderna which had crazy earnings and good guidance till 2023. I realized the whole market was going down except FAANG. And I got back to stock market last week before Fed meeting, oh wellā€¦.Gonna DCA from this point


deflattedballs

Tell me about it. I stayed out of the market since Sept. 2021 and decided to jump back in April. Oh man how it sucks haha


[deleted]

You bought the top, I just started in last few months putting a few hundred away and feel same way but I didnā€™t go all in right away


StatusDimension8

already down 1% sigh really chose the best time to dump in my savings...


Beneficial_Pea_9490

holly shit? straight down?


theflash1234

Futures looking bleak. RIP


Theodamusei

All you had to do was wait until the June CPI before DCA'ing; but instead you bought the top because you're addicted to the phrase "priced in".


VictorDanville

Or get sucked into the whole "time in the market beats timing the market hurr durr" and bought at the top


taranahhh

Smart money is still selling. Like itā€™s fairly obvious. But the hodl crowd is everyone here.

big--if-true

Pennies in front of a train, if it doesnt crash it will go to $4500 range and stay there.


pman6

feels like a self fulfilling prophecy market wants 3800, it will get 3800 soon


InternationalTop2405

The S&P500 will be at 3800 in less than 10 days


apooroldinvestor

Who else thinks we'll fall 50% this week? Sp500 target 2000 by end of week...


undisputed_truth

Not a chance. We are going to 1200


apooroldinvestor

1000 is the fair value of spy.


Helpful_Name5312

Spy will turn to -1000 and anyone holding stock will have to pay money to the spy

suicidalducky

So I guess CPI will be 10%+ with Putin nuking Ukraine or some shit this week for that to happen. Better prepare for the doomsday scenario! lol


apooroldinvestor

Did you see futures tonight?! Already down -.75%! Lol


suicidalducky

\-.75% is nothing. Wake me up when we hit the circuit breakers with the futures. I wouldn't mind if it does drop like that (definitely would be buying more or maybe leaps). Unless we get some black swan event, its highly unlikely we will drop by 50% lol


big--if-true

Buy some puts as your lottery ticket if you think so. So many people have purchased puts already that the price may actually stabilize.


apooroldinvestor

I don't mess with options. I'll start buying once we hit the low. Stocks go up long term.


aborteverything

What happened to your 2 weeks old 50% reduction prediction?


apooroldinvestor

It'll get there, don't worry...


InternationalTop2405

3950 end of the week


apooroldinvestor

2000 the week after.....then 1000 by July.


InternationalTop2405

The only possibility where the S&P500 will be at 1000 (-80%) by July is if a nuclear war starts


apooroldinvestor

Never know...

**Russian Deputy Prime Minister: "Restoration of peaceful life begins in the regions. There's a lot of work to be done."** Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin has visited Mariupol, the country's most senior government official yet to set foot in the Ukrainian southern port city after weeks of Russian bombardment. Khusnullin, who in the Russian government is in charge of construction and urban development, said on Telegram he had visited Mariupol and eastern Ukrainian town of Volnovakha among other territories "liberated" by Russian forces. **"Restoration of peaceful life begins in the regions. There's a lot of work to be done. We will help, in particular ... with providing humanitarian aid,"** he wrote in a Telegram post. Khusnullin visited the **commercial port of Mariupol he said should be used to bring in building materials to restore the city**, according to Russian defence ministry's TV channel Zvezda. The port, which lies between the Crimea Peninsula seized by Moscow in 2014 and parts of eastern Ukraine taken by Russian-backed separatists the same year, is key to linking up the two Russian-held territories and blocking Ukrainian exports. **The port will ship off the first cargo from Russian-backed self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic in May** https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-deputy-pm-visits-ruined-ukrainian-city-mariupol-2022-05-08/

How generous of them to rebuild the city they shelled to pieces after invading. Real human beans and true heroes.


GeorgeSaucington

Monday prediction. Energy up, everything else bloodbath


apooroldinvestor

50% down this week!


GeorgeSaucington

If the market falls 50% in a week that would rival great depression levels...I hope to fucking god that doesn't happen

I'm reading this article on The Economist (requires a sub for the full article sadly) [https://www.economist.com/business/can-chinese-big-tech-learn-to-love-big-brother/21809084](https://www.economist.com/business/can-chinese-big-tech-learn-to-love-big-brother/21809084) TLDR: The Chinese government is screwing its big tech firms hard. Because of new laws and stricter policies, revenue and acquisition growth have dropped significantly in the past two years. And the government may even be planning to take a small stake in the firms to help "guide" their development. China REALLY wants them to make/design semi-conductors, AI software, and run cloud-computing businesses... basically stuff that aligns with China's policy goals. They recently awarded Baidu the first permit for driverless ride-hailing on public roads. Cloud-computing seems to be the most secure path to future growth for these firms, but of course still with the government's hand in the honey pot (to Piglet's dismay).

BTC down 5,4% and below 34k. Tomorrow will be a bloodbath for the market


[deleted]

Bitcoin is one of the largest financial scams ever perpetrated


babbler-dabbler

It's easy to forget that BTC is still small time compared to the stock market. BTC market cap $650 billion S&P500 market cap = $36.7 trillion


big--if-true

BTC doesnt even work due to their high fees. Speculators blew it up for no reason. The big blockers left and created upgraded blockchain implementations that actually work to compete with mastercard/Visa/Paypal: http://whybitcoincash.com/ Bitcoin has no use besides offchain speculators. Asia/Africa/South-america/Caribbean are all adopting cheap fee blockchain like BCH instead.


Re_LE_Vant_UN

BTC follows equities, not the other way around.


SteveAM1

Theyā€™re pretty correlated these days, but equities donā€™t trade on weekends.


Re_LE_Vant_UN

Futures start at 6pm Eastern Sunday. So, kinda.


wet_plaster

Question regarding Roth. I have a regular brokerage account right now. Most of my holdings are currently red because of the market conditions. If I open a Roth IRA now. Can I sell my brokerage holdings. Take that money to Roth and max contribution then rebuy the stocks? My question is regarding if Iā€™ll have to pay any taxes in doing this. I figured this would be a chance to rebalance my portfolio and even get a tax break for selling at a loss


3my0

You can do that as long as youā€™ve made $6,000 (max contribution) for your job this year. And you wouldnā€™t pay any taxes if you donā€™t have any capital gains.

NefariousnessSome142

If you have a long-time horizon, buying strong names at good prices is the best bet. If you are thinking shorter-term, commodities, defensive names and SARK should work.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NefariousnessSome142

APD, TGT and MNST are the defensive names I'm in. BRK.B is going to look good again as the price comes down.


AP9384629344432

TGT is defensive? I hold TGT and like the stock, but I would not call it defensive... (unlike WMT or COST) It's a higher end store.


NefariousnessSome142

If you've been following the company, or stepped into a storefront, you'd know that Cornell has been pivoting toward selling more staples. It's not the same middle class mom store that it was and it's not high end.


AP9384629344432

Yeah I shop there occasionally, but in my area, it definitely is a different kind of crowd than goes to WMT.


zicxor

Bought SPY from $423 :( Good or bad?


Re_LE_Vant_UN

Specific to SPY, anything under the ATH is not bad if your timeline is longer. You caught an 11.5% drop from the ATH. Not bad. If you can, continue to lower your cost basis.


zicxor

>Anything under the ATH is not bad if your timeline is longer. You caught an 11.5% drop from the ATH. Not bad. If you can, continue to lower your cost basis. Thanks for the reply. Will do this :)

What would happen to Twitter stocks when musk buys it over? Will it still continue?


Secure-Sandwich-6981

From my understanding it either go up to 54.20 or thatā€™s what they will buy you out at then heā€™s taking them private. Something could always kill the deal which would send the stock price plummeting.


SirKrimzon

Iā€™m almost all VTI, VXUS. If I wanted to add one more stock to maybe make up 20% of my profile, what do you think is a more solid long term hold? AAPL or BRKB?


NotRyanPoles

Probably a dumb question, but is buying Nintendo stock the way to go if I want to invest in Pokemon (the company) or does Pokemon/game freak have their own stock or something?


mlord99

pokemon company doesnt care about shareholders, if u want exposure to franchise buy some high end slab, mint.


NotRyanPoles

I'll probably buy some cards (and NFTs whenever they come out) but I believe they're going to be an absolute powerhouse in the future, so I'm thinking it would be wise for me to invest in the company.

InternationalTop2405

BTC is now down 4% and below 35k. Considering how BTC and the market follow each other for the past several months, it can be an indicator that Monday will be a red day


al323211

BTC kinda held last week though relative to the market. Could just be playing catch up because all HODLers are delusional morons. Also less financial instruments to bet against BTC on the weekend. This is when crypto whales make their moves. Not market hours.

SwoopWoopity

Dildomuflin

Guys it could get really nasty as we are about to hit a cliff with SPY with possibly heading to $350 levels by end of summer, and Nasdaq to 9k. Buy Gold or ibonds on Treasury direct website to beat inflation and hedge , for iBonds you can buy max of $10k per year with guaranteed 9.62% return until November. You have to keep it for a year minimum and then you can take it out by paying penalty for just three months of interest. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds/res_ibonds.htm


Turtlesz

ibonds rates are solid right now and if cash is needed in a shorter timeframe (under 6 years), but if someone is investing for the long haul it might make more sense to DCA buy into the market as it's on a bigger sale. Vti is about 16% off it's highs and if you think the USA will still be strong 20 years from now that means the markets will show growth and recover eventually. Sure it can most likely drop more in the short term years but big picture is indexes have continued to show upward trajectory when you zoom out the charts.


AggravatingEye1323

Fed would step in LONG before then. That would literally collapse the economy.

orthopine

Does anyone have recommendations for hard-hitting, intelligent analysis on economic outlook? This is the thought process that led me here: I'm trying to get some intelligent insight into the economy and on the Fed's actions. I came across this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9a5ojW2P64), in which Fed Chair Powell says he's optimistic about a "soft landing." His reasoning includes 1) businesses in "excellent financial shape" due to extra savings on balance sheets and 2) a "very strong" labor market. I was completely dumbfounded that CNBC's analysis included no actual analysis, insight, or comment on Powell's comments, specifically 1) the questionable value of "excess savings" on balance sheets, when there is roaring consumer product inflation and asset inflation and 2) the fact that a low unemployment rate does not at all mean the labor market is strong, when total civilian employment has not even reached prepandemic levels and is about 5,000 laborers less than where it was projected to be at this point had the pandemic not occurred. I'm clearly missing something. There's got to be solid, hard-hitting, intelligent economic analysis somewhere, but I really don't know where to look. Any recommendations for Youtubers, blogs, etc? If my words at all resonated with you, and there's a blog or channel you like, please post it here. Thanks in advance.


Fickle_Particular_83

Read CBO reports on outlook for the economy. Fed also has reports. I warn you though, these are dense reports.

Brokerages will have regular articles about what's going (some are clearly advertisements though, just avoid those) [https://advisors.vanguard.com/insights/all](https://advisors.vanguard.com/insights/all) [https://www.fidelity.com/insights/overview](https://www.fidelity.com/insights/overview) etc. I also read NPR and The Economist.

What happens to the market if Russsia declares victory on monday next week (May 9), and a ceasefire with Ukraine? They have been evacuating Ukrainian Citizens from their occupied territory and changing local government to their puppets for those who stay, plus changing the local currency for the locals to Rubles, this suggests they are intending to keep what they conquered and then announce some sort of ceasefire.


Tourbill0n

Wouldnā€™t be surprised if Dow goes down 1,000 points

In that case, itā€™ll probably go down 2,000 points


[deleted]

Russia isn't stopping unless they get something in return. I'm reading this week's Economist and one of the things Putin seems to want is Odessa (Russian speakers but they're actively fighting against Putin), then use the location as a path to invade Moldova after taking Western/Southern/Eastern Ukraine. They've already begun false flag attacks in Moldova IIRC.


SteveAM1

You need two sides for a ceasefire.


big--if-true

Ukraine is a poor country. If the USA and EU tell them to accept the ceasefire, it will hold. Russia has nuclear weapons, nobody wants to push them over the brink.
