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! Don’t get me started on the current Administration policies! I also realize that this downturn is definitely …
What s good growth ETF/fund with anything but American companies?
Understanding that the whole world pretty much dipped with the tariffs. However, I think the Americans burned some bridges indefinitely and I wouldn’t want to invest in any American company in the foreseeable future.

Those who are 100% cash or close to it, what are you waiting to happen before you open a position.
I'll preface this by saying I'm 100% cash and waiting patiently on the sidelines to go all in on Amazon when it reaches a a certain price ( I've done this three times to amass wealth ), but if you're like me all cash, what indicators are you looking for …
Reddit: Buy the Dip. The People: With what money?

Q about employer 401ks during a recession
Given that the stock market is going to be depressed for probably a while, is it better to stop putting money into my employer 401(k) and wait for the stock market to bottom out and then lump-sum put that money into the 401(k)? So essentially, the money that I am …
Does the original purchase make it a wash?
If I haven't purchased a stock for 30 days and then I purchase it on Monday and sell it on the following Tuesday at a loss, does the purchase on money cause the sale at a loss to be a wash or as long as I don't repurchase in 30 …
What are some buys for someone in their 20’s?
I try to invest $500 each paycheck, but with our current state, I’m a little hesitant, but want to keep going. I’m simple. I like SCHD and VOO. I dabble with some individual, and all my $$ is in those 2. What would be your advice? Keep doing what I’m …
NIKE And The Elephant In The Room
This isn’t advice for anyone, just writing down my reasoning. I started building a small position in NKE in mid February, with an average price of $70. The position I currently hold represents 1/4 of the total exposure I’m willing to allocate to a single stock. ***Why I Chose Nike*** …
