I agree that I believe the bottom is in but I still think a mild recession is possible, maybe in 2023.I think the bottom is in, especially now that people are starting to realize that there isn't going to be a recession.
Anybody think there is a chance the S&P and Dow squeak out a small gain this year or has that ship sailed?I think the bottom is in, especially now that people are starting to realize that there isn't going to be a recession.
That would be about another 22% from here on the S&P. I'd be happy with half that...Anybody think there is a chance the S&P and Dow squeak out a small gain this year or has that ship sailed?
NOW you tell me?!!!I think the bottom is in, especially now that people are starting to realize that there isn't going to be a recession.
Possible but I think we come up a little short. We need data showing we have hit peak inflation and for it to head back down from 8-9% rather quickly and then the Fed to indicate a pause of rate hikes for that scenario.Anybody think there is a chance the S&P and Dow squeak out a small gain this year or has that ship sailed?
I was up 5%. Way to go, man.Nice day for my buckets of risky crap led by SI again.
Agreed. Took a touch off the table today. I'm almost always a buy-the-dip guy but this felt like a good time to sell this nice one-week run up.Starting to wobble
Hah, I knew it would fade after saying it...I was up 5%. Way to go, man.![]()
Kind of surprised I was even green at all today after yesterday's huge rally.
I’m just enjoying the rally from the bottom. Somebody will likely screw it up.Any big boys reporting today?
Yea that’s what I’m afraid of lolI’m just enjoying the rally from the bottom. Somebody will likely screw it up.
Sometimes you just have to unplug the karma and plug it back in.You fixed it!![]()
Same situation but up 45% in just 2 weeks in taxable account. Made huge bet as had a lot of cash parked. Should I take tax hit or let it ride? Thinking to hold at least until January . Any way I can avoid tax hit?Thanks for the SOXL tip guys. Up 68% on this.
I think you have to hold for 1 year to get a tax break. could be wrongSame situation but up 45% in just 2 weeks in taxable account. Made huge bet as had a lot of cash parked. Should I take tax hit or let it ride? Thinking to hold at least until January . Any way I can avoid tax hit?

In 2022, individual filers won't pay any capital gains tax if their total taxable income is $41,675 or less

I’m 56 so have roughly 4 more years. Can I open family trust?Stop working....
Yeah I’m guessing I hit soxl near bottom so it’s 5-6 timer here.I thought a lesson we all learned last year was to just pay the tax instead of giving it all back in the next downturn?

I thought this may have been a good play with the CDC restrictions going away. I may buy some Royal today.Cruise lines down a bunch.
Looks like a flat opening
This is my response to someone mentioning $T. That company is a dumpster fire.I think they’ve been a terribly run company for a very long time. This is one of those cases where the stock price accurately reflects the company’s real life performance.
I do the same on IBM although it’s not as bad. T was 20% higher in 1995. 1995. I know there is a dividend but I’m old and I remember after college my GE money market account earned 5% for many years. With inflation and CDs, T has been a terrible investment over almost 30 years now. IBM is about where it was in April of 1999. Damn, same with GE. I remember when I started working there as a consultant after college, GE was a stud for decades but like T, the stock price is the same as it was in 1995 ignoring dividends.This is my response to someone mentioning $T.

And at least IBM has had leadership changes, bought redhat, and have attempted to move where the puck is going. Doesn’t mean they will execute well, but it’s obvious they recognize what’s happening. AT&T essentially has the same leadership and has shown no indication that they have any idea what they’ve done wrong or what to do to fix it.I do the same on IBM although it’s not as bad.

GME dividend/split after close today. So...something will happen.
Something about squeezing the shorts, crushing hedge funds, obliterating synthetic shares, etc.What's the supposed benefit of the new shares being given as a dividend instead of a normal stock split?
Yeah, the concept is that shorts will have to acquire shares to accommodate the dividend, but I don't really get it. I'll probably set some downside triggers post-split to take profits if it slides next week.Something about squeezing the shorts, crushing hedge funds, obliterating synthetic shares, etc.
In reality it’s just an accounting thing.
