Wake up everyone. You don't have to be in stocks right now.

What a sucker you must be

​

The suckers are the guys that buy in boom time .
Savvy traders know when to recognise bottoms (!!) and then buy .

So did you buy Tesler stock?

Yes, rich people are getting richer from Trump so long as he doesn't bankrupt all those companies. Start a great depression. But give it a couple years.

So will we do better if we can only buy American and no one buys our shit? I'm curious. If we lost all our international customers and could only sell to Americans, would we do better or worse than what we did last year under Biden?

If no one is buying, no one is selling.

I thought Presidents don’t have that much to do with the economy. Trump sure debunked that lie.

No president has ever used tariffs in this matter.

Good deals on Tesla

Who's "buying the dip" today? If you are, that's a bad move IMO. The trend is down, and stays down until there is clarity on who wins and who loses with these tariffs.

I don't have one stock that's down. I'm mostly in high dividend energy stocks and they are all doing good. Hell ENB was up today

This post didn't age well.

I understand the high dividend energy stocks plan though. I have been in and out of BKH.

After the China retaliation announcement today the energy sector is down 8% today,

I'm not get anywhere near this tariff driven shit market.

No I'm up pretty good, my ET just hit negative. Most of my energy stocks are holding their own ytd. I bought 12k of EPD, WES, ENB, MPLX and ET this morning. I look at it as getting more shares at dividend date if it's cheaper. I'm not selling anything before 2030 so this is just a buying opportunity. If interest rates get slashed I'm a happy man. I have 2 rental properties I want to put on market.

I love what Donald Trump is doing, in trying to finally get the corruption under control, but there are going to be some stock market declines, the market has been down since he got in office and it's going to continue for a while. Take some chips off the table, you can always get back in later. I'm only about 25% in stocks right now.

So the “golden age” that he promised 2 months ago meant a lower stock market?

 

[candycorn]

Now is the time to go for it. I'm buying as fast as I can. The majority aren't day traders, there some good stocks At 10% discount

Really? Who are you buying (so we can see what a genius you are)?

I have traded a couple of those stocks. You took a bath today

In 2024, 62% of U.S. adults owned stocks, in the UK that number was 26%. I only have 1,000 shares in one company, my others were compulsory bought when that business was bought out.

When it comes ISA savings (UK) and mortgage accounts, never have them linked to stocks and shares.

I sorta have to laugh at this thread. Essentially, aren't you calling for people to sell off their stocks out of fear that people might sell off their stocks so in fact CAUSING the very sell off they feared?

What goes down must come back up. This is big. Trump is trying to redefine the orbit of the Earth. I hope he is successful even if for some months or maybe a year or so it causes stocks to tumble a bit in realigning.

Without this, I don't see how the USA can last another 5 years in any form that I'll ever realize.

NO. I called on March 22nd for people to move out of stocks.
Anyone who listened can thank me, and buy me a beer. I've saved myself a bundle of money by making this move and I even made money in the past week buying and selling some DRV. But, I am primarily in corporate bonds, one of which matures on 5/1. I am sitting pretty, watching the carnage.

Am I exiting the market for good? Nope, I'll be back at some point when valuations are better and there is more clarity.

If you want to be a genius and "buy the dip", go ahead. I don't think it's time yet.

Maybe not as much as you think. It may look good on paper, but the buying power of the dollar fluctuates, besides, stock prices will be back up eventually. ITMT, fears over stock values just encourages everyone to sell off scared thus bringing your own fears to fruition.

Good point. I'm staying in despite Democrat false projections of doom. If one is in the market and cannot ride out temporary down turns, one should not have invested in the first place. If one dollar cost averaged they're going to be OK.

Biden spent 2 trillion on top of the pandemic spending. He (or whom ever was running America) almost totally wallowed out our economy. It will take a bit of time to correct that.

Of course stocks will be back up, eventually. But like Covid, these tariffs are an unknown. We could have 5 more days of carnage, we could have 5 months of carnage. Trump could change his mind on Thursday and the market could run back up, but everything is an unknown. My money says there are more declines. And I'm a Trump guy. He's trying to fix this country in the long term, but the short term is going to be rocky, IMO

Are you moving to precious metals?
