We'll see. The market may still be full of optimism come Monday morning, it wouldn't be the first time.

Imagine a lot of people don't want to be in over the weekend with IRAN/ISRAEL drama.

Nasdaq down 1,200 from the High.
7 percent off high.

NVDA & AAPL and many other tech stocks are off over 15 percent from their high.
TSLA off 50 percent from 52 week high.

The Nasdaq isn't 100 percent tech.
Tech has actually dropped more than the Nasdaq.

Strange how people get emotional when you merely present facts/data.

One reason is we're in a duck market. A handful of stocks were skewing the overall indices.

One of the days the S&P set a record, only 78/500 stocks were green.

Obvious alter is obvious.

7% pullback isn’t a crash. It’s hardly a blip on the historical radar.

Market was frothy. Pullbacks are expected when you hit all time highs. If you are invested for the long term nothing to see here.

All my stocks have been getting hammered the past few weeks but I see it as just healthy pullbacks/market over reactions. They will come back stronger with time. Too many instant gratification and panic freaks out there, longs are rewarded if you stick with good companies

What is considered long term? 10 years?

I just hope you keep claiming the market is "melting down" like you did last night.

My brokerage accounts are up by almost a combined +$30,000 today. And that's not counting the accrued interest on my T-bills (where I park most of my cash) or money market mutual funds. Thank you!

Good question. IMO, it’s somewhat age and circumstance dependent. But generally speaking, if one cannot (comfortably) stay with a long position for at least 5 years, it would be better to either not take the position or consider it more of a “tradeable”. But your mileage may vary.

In case you missed his thread on the Poli Board last night after the Israel/Iran action: LINK

Oil Prices jump 3 percent after hours. Stock Futures Melting Down.

Oil Prices Jump 3 percent after hours on Israel strike on Iran

Stock Futures Melting Down

To which I replied:

So you think a 1% decline in stock futures = “melting down”?

He replied:

Sold everything and went 100 percent cash today.
Gonna sleep like a baby !


However, he edited that post this morning at 8:55 AM and deleted his statement about selling everything and going "100 percent cash." You can see what he deleted in Bestbank Tiger's quote of Ghandi's post in a reply.

Apparently he knew he would look stupid after seeing that the futures this morning were flat to slightly UP and all three indices were UP after the market opened.

So he doubled down today in this Money Talk Board thread about a "Tech crash" when the NASDAQ pulled back.

He's really, really desperate to impress everyone with his investing acumen.
