Our lord and savior of the stocks Charles E. Cheese requests that we sell low and buy high to humble ourselves and allow others more deserving of us to take advantage of this wonderful market discount. Followers of Charles E. Cheese say AYYEE!!
Broker limits Vanguard 500 transactions
I'm a professor, so my 503b is with TIAA. I went into bonds/MM a month ago. Out of curiosity, I looked to see if I could even start buying into Vanguard 500 index fund. TIAA has stopped transactions for this fund until 4/28! Whatever that means, it can't be good. …

VIX 70-90 might be a signal of a …

I'm foreign investor and feeling this time is different :(
In the past, every time the market dropped, people would say, “This time is different,” and panic. But eventually, the market recovered and climbed higher. But this time, what Trump is doing feels like he’s trying to dismantle the entire free trade system itself—and that really frightens me. Many foreign …
People buying the dip
are exit liquidity. The reason why dip buying has worked in the past couple of years, was because of overblown market reactions, the reason for the dip being removed, or policy makers stepping in. None of this is happening. We are exit liquidity.
Warren Buffet holding a $300 Billion cash pile
Uncle buffet has been holding his largest ever cash position as he felt the market was overvalued. He along with other institutional investors will start buying the dip soon. When they do there will be a huge influx of buyers entering the stock market all at once. This market pullback …
