The stock market thread.

Again, the stock hasn't dipped below $150 in the last 5 years. Not sure what you're talking about here.

It must've been $185

She just said "185" and I assumed she meant $1.85

that would make a lot more sense. it had a pretty sizable dip a little while back by current standards and if I wasn't such a f'in idiot, I would have scooped some up too.

Tesla has turned up pretty nicely.

It was risky though, for sure. It was always going to be a volatile company for a number of reasons; year-over-year profit loss, new market tech, and Elon. I didn't think it was going to accelerate like it did at the end of last year, but the plants in China+model3 production leveling out really set it off. I own a small amount of Tesla, but nothing worthy of mentioning. I really only play ball individually with sub $150 stocks, since the whole point for me is to grab solid gains. I let the ETFs and retirement accounts do all the really long-term holds. I'm looking for 20-30% strikes over the course of 4-8 months when picking stocks individually.

That said, I missed the boat on Tesla. The more expensive options I chose over it were Autodesk (ADSK), Microsoft (MSFT), and AMD. Those played out nicely, but nowhere near as nice as picking up Tesla sub-200.

I was sold on them because their software was so advanced compared to other makers of self driving cars. I figured they are the future. But production costs ran more than expected early last year. Fairly confidental Musk would prove out though as SpaceX and PayPal both had trying moments at same stage.

He must see something in Suncity though that I do not see.

Vanguard ETF - Vun.to is up nicely since I started buying it back in 2014/2015 - bought in @ 30- it’s up to 59.07 today. Steady ETF like that is great to buy into for a long term hold.

I think this stock will always continue to go up unless financial crash , but then it will go back up again. One of the can’t lose ETF because it tracks the entire US market.

small dividend (0.22) but nice capital gains.

never a bad play for steady long-term management.

I admire the stock picker that actually takes time to pick and choose individual stocks. I'm a lazy boy that just goes for all-in-one EFTs.

me too. but you know what, my holdings are up 10% since last April. I'll take it.

Everyone's holdings are up in the bull run of the 2010s. It's hard to screw up whether you're an active or passive investor unless you're an active investor who overdid buying/selling and got burnt on fees.

Yeah that's what I do. I don't pick individual stocks because I don't have the time or acumen but my family still does very well because we invest our holdings in low-fee funds that each own a little a piece of the market.

Just noticed this thread. Like that there is a lot of good discussion in here.

Some of my strategies about where I invest have a lot to do with successful mutual funds. Take a look at what a lot of the top holdings are in mutual funds that have a track record of double digit success since inception & follow those trends.

All mutual fund companies have analysts & researchers that comb through stocks. They look at balance sheets & also look for trends. Piggy back on their resources.

Was at 65$ in January.

Dow down 7% in 6 minutes. Stock market halted. In thinking about all the retirees now who will need liquid cash due to inflation. Already toulet paper is 28$ at my local walmart from people buying it up. Pretty sure food prices will go up.

 

[LarryFisherman]

I was down about 17% across all my accounts this morning. Too scared to look again.

I wish the circuit breaker was 25-days long smh

I rather play russian roulette then invest in energy.

Vanguard index fund down to 51 dollars from the high 2-3 weeks ago of 62 bucks. Haven’t started buying in yet. I think I will dip a toe in the 40’s and then buy down to the bottom, whenever that is, and buy back up to where i bought in.

Microsoft is also a good stock to watch . 2008 crash it fell to 20 bucks a share - sits @ 150 a share today. Think I’ll take out multiple loans if I see it that low again .

what’s everyone else watching?

 

[Breakers]

I wish I had more cash on hand to buy.
