Dow falls 1,191 points

[OptimistPrime11]

Yes. It’s definitely all that deregulation and not buybacks, a lot of which has been funded by debt and not cash. That’s definitely not concerning and artificially inflating growth. But you’re the expert!

The market can keep going up on that indefinitely. Just the way things run now with the markets.

One thing they don't like is uncertainty and government intervention that is not friendly to business.....IE Bernie.

That is not a personal knock against him at all. Just the way it is.

On a personal note......why are you always so angry? No way to go through life.

Lol. Should I post up all your "**** YOU" posts that you've doled out to me, son?

[OptimistPrime11]

I thought you were a big dick swinging partner of an exploding CBD company? Guess it was just a MLM pyramid that you bought into for $500 and pestering your friends and family to buy the CBD chit piling up in your garage, son, lmao.

I trade stocks.

Consult with public companies to increase investor awareness.

Help take private companies public.

Own a supplement co. that I own 100% of.

Am starting a CBD company that I own half of.

I try not to be that way 24/7 or even at all actually, but we all have our moments no doubt.

Life is too short.

It's corona and fear of Bernie. Red Scare

[Trapstar4.4]

People seem to be losing confidence by the day.

[AlwaysFocus]

This is my chance to finally get in some shares, now that my house is in order, ive been watching market for decades, unless corona kills the world its a no brainer to invest in normal stocks that have temporarily dipped.

Buy the fear, sell the greed.

[gachase21]

Help take private companies public.

You evil monster.

Stock market is a reflection of expectations for future performance.

Right now, with China shut down, expectations are lowered for the immediate future until China is back up. That's a consequence of a global economy.

I'm sure that our resident heretics will be screaming that the inevitable recovery is not Trump's doing...

[AltarOfPlagues]

i only lost about 20 large

I know nothing about the stock market but I have 30 grand I wouldn't feel bad about losing.

Tell me howto turn this 30 grand into 300 grand using options.

I need a lambo

[SillieBazzillie]

So, how's everyone 401k looking? Literally the only thing Trump had going for him.

Surely it's all some kind of liberal conspiracy....surely.

For gents wanting to enter this on a high risk standpoint(options)....

There is indeed a ton of money to be made on large swings here.

It is also a very easy way for you to lose everything very very quickly.


There are pros and sharks out there that know who you are trying to enter this -and exploiting all around you with trade moves to get all the gains at your loss.


It is easy but it’s not - there are a lot of minute complications that can tear to pieces at times like this.


If you are new at this I would stay away -take a more less volatile time to learn the art of it and when you understand it better potentially enter another battle later.


Use mock trading and training platforms now.








That being said I’m going to repeat my 2018 post unquoted for easy reading



For the kids ITT wondering “wut do?”

I’ll pretty much sill stick with my 2013 post

I'm going to make this list based on the assumption you will get kids and a wife at some point

FIRST OF ALL- PLAN YOUR MONTHLY BUDGET, AND LIVE BY IT(20% LESS THAN YOUR BRING HOME MONTHLY INCOME)

Then follow these steps, do not proceed to the next step until the previous step is complete

1. Acquire life insurance- 20 yrs or longer term(not the whole life crap) you want it to last long enough until your youngest is 18, so if you don't have kids yet, maybe get a 30yr term now. You want to get it while your younger and health

2. Acquire long term disability insurance. This one is debateable, I personally would get it.

3. Save an emergency fund- enough liquidity for you go go 6 months without working if something happens

4. eliminate all debt(except in some cases home mortgage)- math will tell you some debt is ok, whatever- buy it or do without

5. start a roth IRA or regular IRA depending on what you qualify for. If you qualify for a Roth, do it, once you make enough money, you will no longer qualify for it. Save 15% towards retirement

6. If you are living by above budget(20% less than monthly bring home) you should start acquiring excess money monthly to either buy a house with, or invest more aggressively. This is also the money you can start your own buisness with.

Since you are still single, you have the opportunity to be smart about your pick for a sqouse. You can find someone you love of coarse, but there are plenty to choose from that are also financially conservative, and make money. Get their credit report before you get serious. I know love is love, but there are millions to choose from that keep their money in order.

Now I’d add if you have an employer matching 401(k) contributions do that first


If you aren’t market savvy stick with index fund etf’s

For the ira I’d go with above or a targeted retirement fund such as vanguard’s

https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual...-retirement/#/



As far as timing goes stick with dollar cost averaging and disregard these swings.



Also never mix political beliefs with investing.

[BFast55]

Nice to see the authoritarian leftists still assume the president controls the stock market as though we are living in some communist utopia.
1) The market was overbought anyways, so a correction was imminent regardless.
2) The dip was due to uncertainty in corona virus. The Communist/Socialist regime in China holding back information has done the world economy a great disservice due to the uncertainty this lack of info brings.

Advice: Buy the dip

[BFast55]

Demonstrating poor understanding of world markets = bad look
Using this perspective to try and score cheap political points = very bad look

[gachase21]

Be interesting to see where we end once we are done cycling through the margin calls

You can not be serious. Trump and his cult trumpeted market gains every single time it hit new highs. Look at your 401k!!@@## y'all told us.

But now, since it's going down like a paid porn skank on Trump's orange cheeto, it no longer has anything to do with him?

Books will be written about the obedient horde that elevated this orange moron to god status.

SAD

[DukeOfWoodBerry]

Lol at misc bros trying to pick stocks and play options. Real smart bros have mathematicians and super genuises creating algorithms that pick up on market trends. You're going to get your ass kicked. You can try and evaluate companies the traditional way with spreadsheets and painstaking research into your projections. Probably going to get your ass kicked.

It is true that lower taxes and fewer = good for stock market. Creates more certainty which gives confidence to investors. But you already should know this.

Your previous post leads people to believe that you think the president, any president, would have been able to stop the sell off this week. So were you wrong, or just hoping people wouldn't pick up it?

But now, since it's going down like a paid porn skank on Trump's orange cheeto, it no longer has anything to do with him?

You sound jealous.

Books will be written about the obedient horde that elevated this orange moron to god status.

And TDS libs will angrily demonstrate their economic illiteracy in online forums.

These guys see the market tanking and think they're just going to pick up some options and make bank LOL. People here don't even understand what options are really used for, which are various strategies like capping your downside at the cost of some profits or capping your upside to make it more likely you see a profit.

[DukeOfWoodBerry]

It's corona and fear of Bernie. Red Scare

I thought Trump was a lock and Bernie the commie had no chance though? Why don't our wall street overlords understand that???

[Procta]

we just need Bernie to come in and to take over the entire market to fix this

[OPGenesis]

I'd rather it be Drake.

Nope just pointing out that it's ridiculous when people say Bernie has no chance. It's also stupid when people act like Wall Street guys are so smart. Let's take coronavirus, everyone with a brain knew what was going to transpire with the virus and the likely effect it would have. Yet, the markets don't crash until this week? Did these wall street geniuses think the virus was going to magically disappear a few weeks ago? People who put all their faith in markets and wall street are retarded.

No, they just expect the Fed to come in and bail them out, like always.

Fed Put.

No risk markets, boyo. Just never ending gains.

Just lol @ merchantcels

Then sucker all the poorcels into the market to transfer wealth (buy the dips).

Increase that wealth gap, bigly.
