OT: Stock and Investment Thread
- Thread starter RU05
- Start date
I trade when I see opportunities but with the current outlook, I’m now about 50% cash CD. However, it does seem like the market going up once more before the dive. Last year about 80% in the market.
Au contraire! I’m not a “trader” of stocks and don’t have a casino account so this is magnifique! Just in time for March Madness!
High Point bigs are uncoordinated!
I pretty much only buy and hold indexes. I have 6 individual stocks that I add to but rarely sell much as I’m in accumulation mode. I buy some when the market is up and try to buy more when the market is down.
Well not really talking about you per se. for years, you told us on the CE board the world was gonna end and the markets would crash. I’ve learned not to believe you.
Been trading forever or 50 years. You are the buy and hold type. You probably have an investor advisor take care of your money and that’s fine. I just hate holding stock when I know it going down in advance. Some of my siblings just let the brokerage manage their money.
I might be conservative to some and risky for other. If T2K is truthful, he must be down at least $200k from his high.

He's missed out on so much over the years. Way too jittery and bearish. As for me, most of my comments/moves are via my personal/fun account. 95% of our investments are in ETFs or funds (and are buy and hold).
Nah, done well over the years. Being out of the market right before the 2008 recession makes up for any incorrect market call.

Purdue starting to give High Point the “what for” and taking no malarkey!
MSFT gets $595 price target from Tigress Financial (whatever that is).
That is me- only index funds. I buy on the first and the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
I make trades around the edges of my total holdings. Not a lot in the grand scheme. I used to trade more, to not great results.
I do like to follow the market though.
I’m two Gens older than Gen Z but I do like their overall more “youthful” approach. There are no point spreads (betting that way is a bit degen), just futures bets on results that stay open during the games through the final horn. I remember seeing recently how over $3 billion will be bet on March Madness alone…which is actually a bit tragic for American capitalism so maybe this helps remedy that growing problem by having a one stop shop. Take your gambling winnings and put it right into the Tbill ETF
until your next big betting event.
Mentioned earnings could potentially be the next thing to really move NKE and it has. Back to the 60s. Tariffs and consumer confidence hitting guidance quite a bit.
That’s what I was thinking and after the flush, it could be a spot to step in. Probably will be a slog back though.
Just have to hope everyone doesn’t bet a huge underdog that’s winning and Vlad gets a call to pull the plugI’m two Gens older than Gen Z but I do like their overall more “youthful” approach.

Maybe leap calls for NKE? Jan 2027. Maximize the eventual rally but give it 2 years to happen.

DECK is down 50% and ONON down 30% in the last 3-4 months. NKE has been kind of flattish in the same time period. This latest earnings report will tank it a bit though. Mid 60s area is a pretty strong area of support that's lasted at least 20 years. A definitive break of that could take it down to the 50s. Covid low was 60ish. 200DMA will likely be a cap for any sort of rebound also, that's why I mentioned low 80s area before as resistance. It was in that area and sure enough the stock was rejected again. 200DMA is still trending down, mind you it's a backward looking metric but I don't foresee any trend change coming any time soon.Maybe leap calls for NKE?

You see these stocks that are consumer discretionary getting hit so you have to proceed with caution with macro issues out there. Even snacks are showing some signs of weakness from the staples companies. (Healthier for the country lol) FEDX is another potential harbinger of the macro picture. Tariffs are a cherry on top.
I'm willing to step in these moments of weakness and wait if necessary but you have to realize if you step in there's a good chance it could be early and look for areas where you might average down or be ready with a stop loss area.
Timing is not my thing and why I stay away from options. Time decay is an issue. I just need some sort of turn to happen eventually, when it happens isn't predictable for me.
Wont this happen for a lot of products? Tariffs will impact many, not just NKE and consumer confidence is slumping all around.
Meanwhile, BRK-B is "down" today at 524 
And... for any of you "mature" investors, today is "Reconstitution Day" for SCHD... wooohooo....

SCHD is pretty crappy. Obviously, it's gotten pummeled by VOO, but it doesn't even keep up with VIG (Vanguard's dividend index). Many better options out there.Meanwhile, BRK-B is "down" today at 524

You're comparing a 3-YO thorobred to a mountain mule. LOL. It's a matter of application, my young friend...
If you are on the dividends community on Reddit, it is the day everyone complains about why did they sell XXXX. It is always entertaining. But, someone will figure out what they think the new forward yield is. So, that is always good.Meanwhile, BRK-B is "down" today at 524

It's gotten whooped for the past 2 decades.
Look into VIG. Much better dividend play.
Yes, I do. As you know, SCHD tracks the DJ 100, so that's the determining factor. Most important, it drops those companies that fall from that index.
Sure it will and to me these are times of opportunity to be on the lookout. Decide what names you think might present an opportunity for down the line.
I don’t look for or expect quick turnarounds or v bottoms and can be early at times but that’s okay with me. I’m not the FOMO get on the momentum train type. I’m a willing to catch some knives, average down when necessary and then wait.
Btw NKE went down to that mid 60s area this morning and bounced off slightly. We’ll see if it holds over time.

I think DIS, NKE, and SBUX represent that same type of opportunity. Iconic companies/brands that have hit hard times but are going nowhere. Sooner or later they will figure it out.
To the moon, oversold. Get it now before the Sept run up.
