My financial advisor is saying to wait this out a couple months before putting more money in.

Funny looking back on these posts.

I think that your confusion would be a lot less is you read the comments left on 4-07-2025 by Sulphur's Finest, and Screaming Viking.

I think Trump needed to open tarrif negotiations in an extreme position to get the best deals. For it to work he has to act serious about these extremes. Once the market bottoms or shows some good support that will pressure our trade partners the most. Then Trump can begin to negotiate.

It amazes me how few people in the media and government read The Art of the Deal. This is exactly what he wrote about over 30 years ago.

"My financial advisor" Problem identified. Review and study the excellent replies to you thus far. I dare say most of them have more experience with market corrections than your financial advisor. At any rate start taking control of your own finances.


Unless the advisor is in their 50’s or 60’s, they don’t have the historical perspective and simply run off models. I’d use them to help validate some of my assumptions, but it’s better to educate yourself.

I’m trying to imagine the situation in which buying a 20% market dip wouldn’t work out in the long run for a person under 40, or the situation in which a financial advisor takes in that info and says to not buy the dip. I’d fire that guy.

But also I’d fire fareplay’s shitty posting record

When AMZN dropped below 180 I bought more.

I hope it hits 300 one day but the world may have other ideas. I am curious how the Project Kuiper (internet satellites) project will help their revenue. They believe it is going to be huge. They also have their own chip lab for AI.

I still like the stock.

AMZN should still have significant growth just based on PRIME expansion into new markets, much less anything else on top

I mean it could go all the way to zero at some point and our entire financial system could collapse. But then I don’t think I’ll be too worried about my stock portfolio. So I guess I’ll keep betting on it going up over time.


But yeah. This is a hall of fame worthy level of post by the OP.

Looking at the date of your post, this thread aged like room temperature milk.

Safe to say that you "financial advisor" was wrong. You might want to go shopping for a new one.

I just wish I had more dry powder at the time. I didn’t stop my weekly contributions though.

Shush! We're making bank off these tards. Trump is "unpredictably" predictable. If you understand him, you've made money off this volatility. TDS makes people even more irrational. I've freed up some more ammo, so I'm kinda hoping he can deliver us one more salvo to send the Panicans into "SELL!!!!!" mode.

It’s crazy the number of people who let their politics get in the way of their ability to make money. You may vote red or blue, but your investment strategy should always be green.

The guy in this thread claiming we were in a .com bubble is fantastic.

I make my quarterly trades tomorrow. I am making serious bank. I may purchase a new monocle, top hat, and cane to go with the new Bentley.
