All things STOCKS

I've been putting together a stock market buy list over the last few months but haven't bought anything with the prices going up so fast. I have a feeling that the lows aren't here yet.

Probably best to only pull the trigger if the balance sheets and earnings are strong. Not a good time to speculate on the riskier names right now IMO. Possible buying opportunity for the darlings of the markets. AMZN. AAPL. NVDA. BLK. But I might add a private equity firm next. BX possibly.

Rough day today. Still only down 1.5% for the year in the DJIA.

I still don't think we've quite reached a 10% drop from the high, or have we?

A weak close, so there may be some more selling. I am watching for 2600 on the S&P which would be a 10% correction. Some indications that it is oversold now. For long term dividend type investors, some good names are down to attractive levels.

Luckily i moved 95% of my 401k into a money market a little at a time on the way up. I know i lost out on some gains but will be in good shape when i throw it all back in. The guess i g game is when tto pull the trigger. Been expecting a 15% reset, just didn't expect it this quick.

I'm invested for the next 35-40 years, so I'm not trying to time the market. It goes up, and it goes down.

I won't be around in 35-40 years, but my wife should be if she lives to be near 90. I'll just ride it out.

I hear ya. I’ve seen a lot of stat comparisons about time in the market vs timing the market. I think the former is more important.

I typically don't play games with my 401k. But after seeing such a huge jump the last 1.5-2 years I felt comfortable with the gains and didn't want to give it back if there was a massive crash like after 9/11 with crazy rocket man sitting over there with his nukes.

Wild ride this morning after being down 530 points: around a 900 point range this morning in the first hour. Crazy.

How many years until you plan to withdraw from your 401k?

Look for a double bottom and then new highs

I was thinking the same thing... but nothing ever plays out logically in the markets. It probably either keeps rising from here or the DJIA retreats several thousand points after a second dip and a head fake recovery. A triple bottom anyone?
