So do yall expect further fall or would you buy now?


Depends. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy an index fund today. But I’m adhering to the 3 day rule on individual stocks like Nvidia. I’m in no rush.

That's all I've done so far. Panic hasn't fully set in yet. I will start freeing up some cash for just in case.

Essentially it just means to wait 3 full days after a stock drops steeply before entering a new position. The theory is that those kind of moves are rarely over in a day, so let it settle a bit. It’s not my rule, but one I picked up and I’ve never regretted following it. Usually I’ll either get a better price or decide not to buy.

Odd day. Transacted some. Picked up a small position in NVDA after selling out of NVDA on Friday. Added to SMH. Sold a bit of AAPL. End of the day, our overall accounts were unexpectedly flat. Yea diversification!

Someone I know gave me similar advice once: the stock's behavior will be more predictable 3 days after a big dip. And also, if a stock generally viewed as a good investment has been down for 5 consecutive days, it is likely to pop on the 6th day. In my experience, the 2nd bit of advice could stretch to 7 days but both advices have been generally accurate for me.

There’s an old quote, I think attributed to Warren Buffet. “The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.”

It took a long time (and some losses) for this to finally sink in with me, but it’s the absolute truth.

Insider trading buy-sell indicators are warning:

According to data compiled by Washington Service, with a little more than one week of trading remaining in January, that buy-sell ratio, at 0.22, is currently on track to be the lowest data recorded since 1988.


these insiders know their companies and their markets …. and they’ve quietly been selling hand over fist, particularly in the tech sector

I'm looking more at index funds right now. Just aren't that many obvious buys for individual stocks.

I kicked arse during the pandemic. But only because I got greedy when everyone else was fearful. RCL at $37, WWE at $40, FCX at $7. Those deals aren't available now.

Damn dude. You can’t expect that again. It’ll happen I’m sure, but that’s a rare event.
