I don’t know whether to keep up with DCA or stop for now
I transferred my entire RRSP (and other segments of my portfolio) from my advisor to quest trade last month. Given the uncertainty, I invested 75% of it in a 60/40 balanced fund and retained the rest in CBIL and ZMMK. I am 7 to 10 years from retirement . I …
How is everyone doing that bought the "dip" yesterday?
I saw all these people yesterday talking about "buying the dip". Meanwhile all the pro investors were saying to hold on and wait until all the noise shakes out, but we don't know if we're anywhere near the bottom. Wondering if anyone actually bought yesterday near close, thinking there would …
If someone runs out of money buying the dip because market keeps dipping, should they use their emergency fund?
Stock market keeps dipping this year and I ran out of the cash because I bought in January, February, March and now in April I don't have cash left besides my 6 month emergency fund. Should I use my emergency fund to buy the dip or no? Also, for future, …

Sometimes, not losing is winning
Another bloodbath day. Yet, I'm chill. And not because of that you know what Reddit phrase. Was already mostly in short duration bonds and AAA CLOs at the beginning of the year due to realizing the market was extremely overvalued and volatile. Small equity exposure < 10%-15% I'd say. Before …
Do you think the US stock market is cooked?
With Trump’s tariffs and continued and increased recession likelihood, do you think the US stock market is cooked? I am panicking because I have lost over $150,000 this year because of Trump. I feel like a 40-50% drop would not be out of the question. The question I have is, …
Bear market data points and what may happen next
Bear market draw down data points on the S&P 500. I first posted this about 2 months ago, seems worth revisiting. I moved to ~35% cash earlier this year. Likely close to a local bottom with VIX at ~40 until tariff impacts show up in econ data. Personally, plan to …
The Age Old Dilemma: Should you exit a falling market?
Hi all! This is more of a discussion than anything: I realize time in the market is the leading recommendation than timing the market with investing. The crap that’s happening is pretty ridiculous!
