Well, I did not execute my plan to get back into the market during the Tariff Tantrum. Went 100% cash back in Feb before the drop (6066 S&P), and today held my nose & went back 100% into S&P index. So, for anyone waiting for "capitulation" from someone who is very bearish on the macro effects...

Nibbled at IOVA - biotech cancer drug company - off 45% today on reporting Q1 results miss. Speculative play. https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/05/09/why-iovance-biotherapeutics-stock-is-crashing-toda/

I'll give it a whirl - thanks! How do you know when the upcoming ex-dividend dates will be ongoingly? Edit: answered my own question - looks like it is every 4 weeks...

Great info - I have never bought an option, it has all seemed as "I'm out of my depth" - I appreciate the basics (and beyond) being shared here. :thumbup:

Nibbled @ some UWMC today, but mostly watching & waiting over here.

He's also a Deadhead - which I kinda like.

I was not able to buy SOXL in my ROTH IRA with Vanguard - so in the past couple of weeks I have opened another ROTH IRA with Fidelity & transferred some $$ just to buy able to join in the SOXL fun. Thanks to you & the other posters who put this on the radar & keep it in the conversation - much...

Can't seem to shake the feeling of being in the eye of a hurricane here. (Not that I have ever been in the eye of an actual hurricane).

Also Russell 2000

I admire conventional wisdom, and your wisdom in particular - and I can’t seem to shake the thought that that wisdom was forged in an era we are no longer in...
