I am… I pumped more money into strategy(MSTR) a double leverage fund I have of that stock just today.

Are the markets going to continue to fall. Or perhaps is positive news on the horizon?. Maybe the gov shut down can be ended and that might spark the market. But here’s something to also consider the S&P 500 is about 14% up this year. So even if we have a catastrophic 30% drop in the S&P 500 before years end that would only be 15% for the whole year. And frankly, I don’t know if that is mathematically probable considering we already had a pretty hefty loss back in April. So consider that. Of course as always invest what you can afford to lose. And do your own research and what not.

But yes I’m going with Buying more MSTR. And I’m currently down heaps on my MSTR double leveraged fund. But I’m sticking with it. It’s a long term plan.
 
Well good luck to you. I don't plan to start buying anything until we get some current fake data from the government on what is really going on with the economy.

The economy is sick. Too many disruptions with government shutdowns, unpredictable and illegal tariffs, Trump scaring off foreign investments, plummeting manufacturing domestically, immigration is a net producer of GDP, lingering wars, and a runaway budget that adds more debt onto a sky high debt load.

We obviously aren’t in crisis yet but a cold turns to pneumonia fast on a weak body and the economy is weak.

I am wrong 50% of the time on the economy. It’s too complex to really guess what will happen.
 
/——/ GDXY is an ETF that pays weekly dividends. I set it up to automatically reinvest dividends (DRIP) so I get more dividends each week.

I would be cautious with YieldMax funds. They pay huge dividends, but they tend to not make up for the loss in NAV over the long term.

/—-/ I watch them daily. Only one out of 5 is underwater. It’s tied to COIN.
 
Inflation will continue to float the stock market.
 
Well, as I expected, and as many did markets are looking good this week. Off to a good start today. Looks like The government shutdown ended, and that probably played a role in the pump. It was obvious I believe on Friday that the government shut down was going to end it was just going on too long.

Hope you bought the dip!!!!

Ps take tips from other posters here on stocks…. as the Chinese company you mentioned “ZLAB” is down something like 40% since you pumped it up.

First of all, I am a "trader" and my goal is to make more money than what I lose. It is not about being right or wrong but about the end result of all the trades. I gave the ZLAB trade and I also offered a stop loss level, which was definitely hit, meaning I (and whoever followed the mention) did take a loss but a short-term one (hopefully). I will be buying the stock back in a big way as it nears $20, The fundamental picture remains strong, but the company has not been making the kind of money that was expected as they have been spending lots of money in getting the products finished and out there for use. That is a short-term negative but a long-term positive.

As far as buying this dip, I will let you know that this year I have done less trading than any year that I can remember. I have mostly stayed away from the market because no one can predict with any certainty what Trump is going to say or do. As such, the market has moved not on the fundamental picture but on his statements alone. Today the market is up because of the possibility that the government shut down is over.

I did buy 2 stocks last week that have specific fundamentals that should not be necessarily affected by Trump's action. Both of the stocks I bought are in the "rare earth minerals" industry. I bought both of them on Friday. I bought NB at 5.98 and bought USAR at 15.98. Today they are trading at 6.35 and at 17.37. My stop loss level are at 4.69 and at 13.65. Objectives are 12.96 and 43.98. My risk/reward ratios are 5-1 and 12-1. These stocks are totally dependent on the price for rare earth minerals and not on what Trump says.

Having said that, this market has been totally lost this year given the constant changes in policy, as well as the fact that the future is cloudy as it can be. The traders have gone "with the flow" but not because they believe that what Trump is doing is going to be "ultimately" successful but because his actions have given the market some SHORT-TERM strength and the traders have climbed aboard on that.

No you’re spewing propaganda again. As countless times you were shown the data. I mean you claimed to be a data guy. Trump’s first four years in office was better market wise compared to Bidens 4 year term…And the market this year is doing fine it’s up about 15%.

And you won’t admit it I don’t know if it’s some kind of a derangement syndrome or arrogance. But you will continue to provide propaganda and completely Ignore the numbers ….oh well.

“the market has been totally lost this year”


It’s like something from the twilight zone.

ZLAB….oh boy ….listen to my advice ok….AMD..I pump up winners.

You do not seem to understand something that is so evident that I am surprised you cannot see it.

I am a "trader" (not a buy and hold investor). By definition, a trader does many trades and it is impossible to expect him to be successful in all of them.

In addition, I analyze information and charts and come up with a probability number. By definition, probability is not a guarantee but simply what has the better chance. That also means that there will be times when something does not go as predicted. In the stock market, that usually happens when some fundamental change occurs that changes the outlook. No one ever has control of those changes.

For most every year, I do between 180-250 trades. Do you honestly think that all of those are winners. Trading is all about making more money than what is lost.

As far as the stock market going up under Trump, I already explained that to you in the previous post. This particular rally does not have as much to do with Trump as it does with AI. AI has been driving the market up and it isn't because of economics but because AI is going to be a game changer for companies to make more profits with less expenses that anything that has ever been seen before.

You want to compare Trump with other presidents as far as the economy is concerned? Here look at these facts:

Please forget the dips and highs. A diversified stock portfolio, invested at a regular rate as you would do a savings account is a wiser course of action.

I am diversified. Currently into semiconductors , quantum computing, Ride share among other things ….I have an index fund in the S&P 500, and crypto.

I buy and hold long term on most equities.

Nothing wrong with buying the dips on proven companies with a long term upward trajectory.

Stop the word games … Trump’s first four years. Again, four years were not talking about a one month period or whatever. But Trump’s first four years saw a higher market return compared to Biden’s first and only term . That’s it everything else you are posting is not related to that point.

And this year the S&P 500 is up around 15%. So enough of your word games. The trolling nonsense about “rallies and unpredictability” …..that is five years of data to look at.

And again you won’t acknowledge this you’ll just keep on engaging in partisanship. None of your rhetoric matters because the markets are doing fine under Trump.

I’m also waiting for you to pump up an equity that sees profit after you post about it.

Time will tell.
