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 was -11 at one point. Ended +2 and some change.Holy #### nuts. I’m up almost 2% and I’m fairly certain I was down 6%+ at lunch.
Color me green, but I don’t believe that was the bottom quite yet. Wish I didn’t have a job and could have bought a few things at lunch! Might have made investing harder but still.

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.Something tells me you portfolio and Todem's are a bit different.

A 6% intraday swing is totally normal, man.LOL what a wild day. There will be more.
I was looking at near term call options and they were pretty expensive.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.
@David Dodds At what price did you add today?
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.
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.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.
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.Watching the news and it sounds like a done deal that Russia invades Ukraine. Is this a big deal, marketwise? With how skittish and volatile everything is, seems like yet another significant bearish push.
Yes it isI 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.
png futures a good bet?An invasion of Ukraine would put pressure on energy prices worldwide.

I don't play those markets, so my advice on specific vehicles would be suspect.UNG?

Bought 10, 165 calls that expire Friday for $1.37 each.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.
So you are betting the stock price will go up by Friday and you will sell the options before then? Is that the play?Bought 10, 165 calls that expire Friday for $1.37 each.
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.So you are betting the stock price will go up by Friday and you will sell the options before then? Is that the play?
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.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.
A couple of days ago? Smart kid!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.

I told him "no" then asked if it was smart to sell low.
Apple or PC?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.
