The poster John Barron is really a team of Indian dip shits, trying to control the narrative here.

You’re making a ton of assumptions and yet either way you’re wrong. There is no square one when it comes to net worth. If is existing account rebounded, his net worth still in fact increased by 55k

This dude is claiming to have “timed” the market perfectly. He sold in Jan/Feb and had big reserves to buy after the dip. The thing is, not even Warren Buffet could time the market. Let’s see the receipts for buys and sells over the last 5 years! ??

You just linked a thread I was not involved in but were LSURussian was wrong again. Just like both you clowns claimed the Monday Nvidia was crashing during the Deepseek news that you guys sold the Friday before Why don't you try and make a prediction 3 months before it happens like I did.
So just FYI, I'm now holding a small spot of NVDA at a $102 CB.
Put a toe in the water w/ ~$35K in Jan. IIRC, I noted that purchase in the same thread you're referring to? Picked up another $70K when it dropped in Apr. I'm planning to hold it long term. I'll try to remember to let you know when/if I let it go, lest you view it as a "claim" after the fact.

You’ve been in full blown doom casting mode here way up until this week.
When exactly did you pull the ‘I’m just trolling those fools, I know everything is about to bounce back’ buy back?

You’re an idiot if you think money cannot be made in volatile markets. That is when the best moves can be made.

I just did not invest in AI. The rest of the market seems to be fine.

Why in the world would I want to sell a lower cost position to buy back in at a higher cost position?

Hell, it isn't even this. Regardless if he timed the bottom perfectly or not, he just increased his cost basis. If the only thing he did was operate on money that was already in the market, he accomplished nothing except decreasing the number of shares he now owns, unless he has been investing for an extremely short time, in which case it makes this entire thread even more asinine

If you you did not sell in January like I did and just held your positions.... your account is back to square one. If you actually sold like I did and purchased stocks cheaper during the crash like I did then you actually saw your net worth increase.
I was a bit lucky in timing though. PEs ran last year. But we had major cap gains exposure, so we held stocks we'd have traded out of until 2025 to clear a bunch of LTCGs. That's why I dropped NVDA when I did, btw. Had the AI dip occurred a month earlier, I'd have been stuck. The timing worked out. Better lucky than good, eh?

A quick off-the-top-of-my-head calculation, at least 17 of my stocks have paid at least one regular scheduled dividend since January.
So if their price is now back to what it was in January, I have made a "profit" in the amount of the dividends received on that stock. Plus it means I have more cash available in my account since I don't automatically reinvest dividends.
I know you know this, NC_, but no way Comrade Snitchkovsky knows that kind of detail about stocks.
