I did plenty of dip buying this morning, but was thinking about doing even more when QQQ was down 4%. It's hard to keep doing.

i kinda want to sell it all now. About even during the past week. Silly.
I'll hold though and deploy the other 50% if things take another tumble, then throw my computer and phone in the trash and never look again

So glad to catch these names on a discount. Burned up a good bit of cash today. May go lower, but I'm happy with these buys. If it does go lower, I'll add more.

Yes, since that was my play money account heavy in leveraged ETFs and not other people's retirement accounts and life savings. But I am diversified in different sectors like he's been preaching and not heavy tech or growth.

Left the house for a couple of hours and WOW. I had another SPXL buy at $4.20 and it hit that but didn't fill.

Have been out of gold and silver for well over a year, but looking hard at gold now. With so much uncertainty, I could see some money flocking to gold. Still about > $150 off its highs, chart showing some support levels below here, might not be an awful gamble to put some on.

at 90, 89, 88, and 87. Despite being a red day for GME, I had a terrific day getting positioned for a big play.

Seems to me people these days had been flocking to crypto which is why I've been buying GBTC at these levels.

AAPL 165 calls that expire Friday pretty cheap. I wish I would have looked earlier today with earning coming up on Thursday. Hopefully will be able to get something down tomorrow morning.

Love this speculative trade. Thanks for mentioning it. After hours, AAPL is down one more point. I will be looking at these calls in the morning.

No doubt if this materializes it will cause some volatility. How much remains to be seen. But it could present a great buying opportunity for many household names.

I was just digging through my 401k on troweprice trying to get info on how the different funds were doing through this volatility and I just realized I can't even look at the performance of each of them until the end of the month.
Man, how do I get that gig? They create these "funds" that are basically crappier copies of indexes that already exist and could be bought outright just as easily, charge fees to create that fund that doesn't even need to exist in the first place, and then for the cost of those fees they don't even display a chart of their performance or even update their performance at all except once a month.
What a racket that whole thing is.

I don't play those markets, so my advice on specific vehicles would be suspect.
I heard some smoo on TV say Putin wouldn't make a move before the Olympics. If that was true, why leave 100K troops out in the field in January? Don't want to get too political, but he's not looking for concessions. This is the thing keeping me from buying something this morning, when we open lower.

These 401k servicer places probably just go out and buy up a bunch of VT and Ishares stuff, mark it up 50bps and call it good. My wife has a transamerica run 403b and they have a SNP500 fund that hasn't had a single quarter that it has actually performed any better than -1% of the actual SNP. So they must also be skimming somehow off the top end.

So you are betting the stock price will go up by Friday and you will sell the options before then? Is that the play?
2Squirrels1Nut
Footballguy
Correct. They report earnings on 1/27. Generally the stock price moves up leading up to the report but AAPL is being dragged down with the rest of tech. I think they crush everything as usual and there will be a nice bump.

Don’t forget about your (my) 401k. Don’t go crazy with my account now.Bought some AAPL today in my kids accounts. My one investing son will be happy and other two will care at a much later date.

I bought some for my grandchildren years ago. With the splits I believe their cost is around $20 a share. A couple of days one of my grandsons asked if he could sell some to buy a new computer. Dang kids.Bought some AAPL today in my kids accounts. My one investing son will be happy and other two will care at a much later date.

Putin is a power hungry psychopath. Like all bullies, he has gotten stronger, because there haven't been any real repercussions for deplorable actions like "annexing" Crimea, state sponsored hacking, misinformation campaigns, etc. Throw on top of that pile, he knows that the western world doesn't want war.
Praying he backs down because yes, it would get horrible really fast. :(
ETA
Me too on the bolded but I don't think anyone would mind criticism of Putin.

I told him "no" then asked if it was smart to sell low.

I am going to again talk about
Adams Express Company
Symbol ADX
For those here who really do not dabble heavily in stocks and need a really good actively managed Large Cap Growth closed end mutual fund, this is a great option.
It’s current Net Asset Value is is $20.86
You can buy it today at a 15% discount sitting around $17.60
Their top 10 holdings to give you an idea:
1. MSFT
2. AAPL
3. GOOGL
4. AMZN
5. FB
6. UHC
7. BRKB
8. BAC
9. NVDA
10. V
They own 100 positions. So it is a diversified portfolio in the large growth space.
They do have a 58% turnover ratio (a lot of that happened last year as they had a huge cap gain distribution taking profits). You buy this for pure growth in the large cap space.
I know I mentioned this one back in the pandemic crash.....so keep your eye on this one through all this volatility we are seeing.
It is currently down 21% from it’s 52 week high. A great little gem in the closed end mutual fund space.
.60 expense ratio and well worth it.
