re: Anybody buying?

If the Index falls another 5% to @ 5222 I will "buy" again. It is not that difficult to catch that falling knife when you have a solid plan.

Bought Amazon and venture global

I bought back the WBD I sold two weeks ago… and I rage purchased a share of HD.

I still have more cash in the event I'm wrong and early.

I always keep about 10% cash and have another chunk in SGOV collecting a monthly Div just in case things get really interesting.

Are you going to tell us what your investment approach is?

I run a small hedge fund and it's been tough but I've managed to stay positive this year (+2.8%, +10% at the peak in Feb).

I've averaged 40% invested for the year (60% currently). But, if we get follow thru Monday I'll go to 140% (40% margin). If Monday goes negative I'll be cutting below 40%.

I plan to buy more of UBER, CLS, AVGO and ALGN.
I bought CLS, NVDA, and AVGO this past Tuesday. The chip stocks bottomed earlier than the market. I may also buy some financials, BAC, RF, and JXN.

I have core positions in UBER, MP, and GDX.

I got some stuff going on right now otherwise I would have been buying on these red days.


Hope to be able to get back to buying (besides my automatic retirement contributions why never stopped) in a few weeks.


I figure it will go up by the time I retire or we will all be eating tree bark (though the later does cross my mind at times).

I finally gave up on trying to pick the right chip stock. I sold all my chip stocks a few weeks back and just bought the dip on SMH a week ago. I figure at least i can just buy a few shares a week and still be in the game on chip stocks without losing my shirt on individual chip stocks.

Correct. Depending if all stock purchases were under the sale price.

Good deal ! I wish that you would have been around to give me that advice when I was twenty-five years old. Although it was matched in company stock, little did I know that buying every month worked for me. Several years later someone told me it was called "dollar cost averaging' and showed me the math. I also keep about 75% in index funds. It took me way too long to quit overthinking investments. For example, I owned gold at one time and had an IRA that was invested in REITS. Both were failures. My wife had an IRA with a 12-B-1 fee at one time. Imagine that. Likely only in the last fifty years were people like us became able to take control of our own finances.

Disclosure-I do have a lithium ETF which is in the bucket about 20%.

Within my 401K I can move in and out of the Fidelity S & P Index to Stable Value Fund (treasuries, CD's etc.) at no charge. After the S & P falls 10% I take a position and go back to Stable Value when it returns to its former market high. In a way it is timing the market but I do it within parameters and have not failed except one time when I ran out of bullets trying to catch the bottom. However it did recover albeit it took a long time. It is not for everyone. It is what I like to do.
