Euro is at multi-year lows.

you still think correction is coming or have you altered your stance?

I was thinking of doing an 80/20 split with my taxable investments. 80% would be allocated towards VOO/VTI and 20% would be individual stocks.

All my retirement accounts are VTSAX or mirror the Dow and sp500

Doesn't Bogle say that our portfolios should be 80/20 spy/ t-bonds? Is there any point to holding t-bonds anymore? Let's be reality.

Lol, tlt is 1.5% of my portfolio. For a month a couple years ago I was like “I need a bond fund”

At some point this mentality may be painful for me, but it’s a risk I run.

Mine is like 18% and it's been a fail...missing out on massive Trump gainzzz.

anyone know how to trade "after hours"

appl dropped like 22% then bounced right back

[thatsnarf]

Have you looked into VGT (Vanguard tech ETF)? I have a bunch of that because it's easier than getting individual tech stocks. Over the last five years it's beat SPY 19.12% vs 11%

I'm heavily into VGT.

Do you actually trade without a charting platform?

[usersignup2]

A lot of those AH trades are just recorded AH. Those dips are likely dark pool institutional/heavy hitter trades that you would never have visibility of in real time.

This.

Even with after hours trading that TDA advertised, they don't give you 24/5 access unless it's SPY, GLD, TLT and some other stuff like that.

With stocks like AAPL, you don't get to buy them until like 7AM or something. You will never get those 4AM prints.

Only way to truly trade afterhours is if you dive into futures.

For awhile I had nothing but pure equities in my retirement. I've started scaling into bonds sometime before the last rate cut and my bond fund actually has been decent. My retirement fund options are kinda dog chit...But who am I to try about it when my company matches for 100% instagainzzz

Ended up buying puts this morning for Hilton. They are getting smoked by complete lack of Chinese tourist travels + lack of hotel interest in China as a whole. Wanted to buy SPY puts too, but holding off since market was down already.

Yeah, the market is still below what I sold 1/3 of my Vanguard funds at. I don't see any sort of crash, but we'll see a sell off this spring. 30k will be seen this year for sure, but maybe not before we get a dip down to 26,000.

Closed the other side of my TSLA condor today. The total actual profit is actually not whats in the pic because the call side was closed out at a loss. 215.5k in credit received from the condor, closed out the call side for 112k and the put side for a measly 58.9k so net gains from TSLA condors of 44.6k. Gonna keep watching TSLA and wait for a potential opportunity to short more premium if the implied volatility gets high enough.

Relatively new to investing. I've currently got an account with Vanguard where i'm investing for long-term( accumulation)...pretty much dump money in every month and forget about it. Thinking about doing more active trading on a free commission platform like trading 212, and aim for a monthly income from investments. So 50% of money left over each month goes into accumulation investment, and 50% into income investment(Got my eye on SPCE)...does this sound right? Any advice would be appreciated.

[communistpanda]

for any swing traders here take a look at american eagle ($AEO), over the past two months all it has been doing is rising to the high $14s-low $15s and then dips back to the low $14s. rinse and repeat

[demfeelsbro]

$SPCE, the next meme bubble confirmed.

[Humungus]

Hope you held, 40 now in after hours. Total meme bubble stock but no end in sight and market cap isn't that ridiculous.
