To those who simply held on
To those who panicked and sold the dip

I learned my lesson during Covid. I bought over the last two weeks. Did I catch the bottom? No. But I’m all in at great value.

Thank you, stonks. Very cool.

I did, but what has triggered this run? I have been busy all day.

I made no less than 3-4 threads here the past 1.5 weeks warning them not to sell (that we were at or near the bottom). I just got downvoted instead. The world needs baggies.

Same. I got about 20k in, with maybe only 2.5k at the bottom, but I feel pretty good about it.

Meh. Spooked by the bond turmoil because my wife and I are both in our late 60s and retired and actually using our retirement funds to supplement SS and had made our Vanguard IRAs more conservative as that time approached as far as allocations with more in bonds and less in stocks, we got out of everything this morning and parked it all in VUSXX for the time being to see how things play out.
And I am content with that regardless of what happened today or any laughing memes people toss out because I don’t think we are done with the turmoil.
We haven’t gotten hammered because we are diversified and we are quite happy to collect our 1.81% return (interest never sleeps) on cash for 30, 60, 90 days and see what happens, especially with bonds, because at our ages the days of chasing cheap bargains and taking big risks are over, we are focused on maintenance of the principal with a decent rate of return.
I’m very happy for the younger folks who did well with this.

The greatest pump and dump scam in the history of the market. Congress should be investigating.

For what, exactly?

It's obviously not much money, being a weekly order, but it did tickle me a bit that my weekly order hit yesterday instead of today

I was wondering why my SPY calls shot up.

You’ve got 20+ years in retirement to live. Assuming you’ve saved enough about the only way to screw that up is timing the market like you’re doing now. Good luck.

I’m about ready to sell that turd AMD now

Trump told you to buy

I don't know that I am timing the market as much as I am timing POTUS.
I have no intention of going cash only for the rest of my life and I have no intention of completely abandoning equities, for better or worse this was a temporary punt.
But we're not about to take the same risks in our late 60s that we took in our 40s, or put as much as equities as we did in our 40s. Although we're not going to go as far as "your age in bonds" in bonds/fixed income.
If we make enough on our investments to replace what we take out each year, we are fine. Just seeking some clarity, again for better or worse was spooked at what was going on with bonds because we are heavy in that market.
And again, I don't think we are done with the turmoil.
