I did. I've held it for most of this year. I peaked at 1.4 before pulling back. I had a decent trade on NIO about four weeks ago. I rolled that into a position in XLE (ironic EV to energy sector), and that has behaved nicely so far. SPPI (not for the faint of heart) has been my biggest L, but I'm still in it.

Shorting PLTR, GS, ROKU, and BYND into the AM. We will see one more bounce and then a sharp rejection for full bear market imo.

Risk/Reward. 6.5x earnings to me means much of the risk has been removed. Intel is another with a R/R tgat interests me. I’m not likely to try to reel in something like a crypto to flip. 1% a month for the next year or two will please me.

I'm interested in buying up some SNOW and FSLY at the low if I can get close. Huge insider buys on those last week, and I like them LT, especially SNOW.

Also interested a bit in NVDA for the 5/26 earning report. IF this thing turns around, no company ill benefit more than NVDA in the short term.

Bounce? By what measure? Dow, spx, etc. Everything? Full bear mkt? How much will it drop? I look more for a significant correction.
Because of my age/retirement I'm primarily in blue chips. They shouldn't fall as much. Except when they are going up too fast like now. People are still putting money in the market even though it's over valued. I'm 30-40% bonds. It's what people(retirees) concerned about capital preservation do. .1% is better than -15%. When to start putting some money in bonds is a personal decision.

Ha, I sold snow at 237. Just now getting to buy a small position again. $160 looks likely.

I’m retired and am steering clear of bonds atm. Face value of bonds are going down when the inevitable interest rate rise occurs. Would rather be in a CD or the like instead of bonds atm. Check out PGX an ETF of preferred stocks paying dividends as a bond alternative. Price stays fairly flat but it has a 5% yield. I’ve not got a great track record at timing the market or predicting corrections myself.

What bonds I have are old, and pay decent interest. Otherwise I'm in money markets making very little. Preferred stock is a good route. I'll take a look at PGX. I typically have CDs. None at the moment. They usually pay a little more than a t-bill. 10 year is around 1.6% for t-bill. I saw 10 year CD for 1.8% about a month ago.
I have sold my bond MFs as the rates have dropped and value increased. So I'm making about .1% on that now in MM. .5 to 1% on bank MM.
Yep, timing the market is nearly impossible, and usually luck.

I wonder about TSM today. There was a big hiccup last night in Taipei, overall exchange down like 9%. TSM is down 15% from its high February 1, and there's a chip shortage, but it's also double what it was during the beforetimes.

P.S. Bought the MOS dip

I started buying some ATM calls for 5/14 on SPY, QQQ, and TLT about 5mins ago. Shorting VXX as well. There are just too many short dated puts at play here and I think we will see a rebound tomorrow and Friday.
