Anyone else adjust their investing strategies?
Ever since Trump took office, I've lost a bunch of confidence in the US market. I've shifted over my 403b retirement investment strategies to be 100% international funds. I just feel that I won't need to be constantly worried and shook about every single Trump headliner that comes up daily. …
Final-Lock789 SCAM sigh... I was so excited
Oh man, I'm so disappointed. I thought I've finally found an angel investor and it turns out he's a scammer. Here's how I know: "Final-Lock789" has 0 posts and 0 karma, his account is less than 60 days old, and he doesn't want to use PayPal, Stripe, or any other …
Looking to get back in eventually... But when?
Hi... Before my SWTSX Index Fund lost half its gains, I sold it. Kinda wish I hadn't now because it rebounded fairly well. I have 100k in cash and want to get back in eventually (probably with an S&P fund). When do think it'd be best to reinvest the proceeds? …
How the hell are people saying their 401k are almost entirely wiped out after this dip? What are these people invested in?
I’ve been seeing so much fear across the board and people acting like their 401ks are completely gone after the last week. What are these people talking about? My 401k is down sure, but wiped out completely? Not even close. Then I see people saying they should’ve taken all the …
Swiss Franc - how high can it go?
Boy, am I glad I peaced out of this shitshow into FXF and FXE, and it looks like the money is flowing out of the Dollar and into... the Swiss Franc? It's up 4% against USD just today. Extremely sharp movement, historically. Is it possible that it's becoming the safety …
Exit strategy for safe investment?
Dunno how the rest of y'all are doing but I'm staring at total valuation down 35% in the last month. Wiped out my bags over the past two years and then some. Probably just too slow to take the small hit and sell before it got this bad. Mostly investing …
Honest question: Those of you who are not panicking, but buying right now, how do you have the cash available to do that?
I see a lot of people bragging about being long term investors, and not panicking, and trust the market, and that they're: "Buying right now!" What cash are you using? Your words make it sound like you're pushing all your chips in on a once in a lifetime moment, but …
Why are people vehemently against buying and holding currently also citing Warren Buffet?
I'm fairly certain Buffet himself advises against timing the market. A lot of comments go like - "I sold, I'll get back in when Buffet does". But, you just went against what he wants the average investor to do. Does the average redditor think they are above average investors?

Why am I on negative balance??? (help)
Bought some french index on XTB yesterday, now it literally shows me -122% loss, I'm on negative money and I have no idea what just happened. I knew value can go up and down, like 5 actions can be worth 10$ each and then go down to 4$, but it …
