My friend is currently playing the marketwatch investment game at school, and he doesn’t have the smallest clue about how it works, so I’m doing it for him. I’m currently 2nd out of 91 +$35,000 (started with 100k). My strategy is basically to just trade stocks like Nvda and Tesla …
Anyone else have (accidental) impeccable market timing?
I would never try to time the market. However, I completely by accident limited almost all my YTD 2025 losses. At the end of 2024, I had 100% world stock portfolio. Thinking that my particular industry was having difficulties and I may lose my job, I moved 20% into bonds …

Financial anxiety due to unemployment
Hi everyone, I’m(27M) feeling completely devastated right now, and I really don’t know where to turn. I recently had another job offer rescinded, and I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom. I’ve been unemployed since December, and while I’ve been actively looking for work, the emotional toll is just so …
🎭 "Tariff Theater": Why the 7% Rally Is a Mirage, Not a Market Rebound
The recent 7% rally in equities, coinciding with the Trump administration’s decision to roll back certain tariffs to 10%, has been interpreted by some as the beginning of a broader policy shift.
