It fun wen stocks go up.

Had to force myself to buy when it felt so much easier to earn 5% on savings/CD but happy at the moment.

There’s no recession. Rates are normal. You gave your kids shitty financial advice, they will rent and like it. Uptick starts now.

 

After earnings tho

Some of you should’ve payed attention. It’s a constant game of catch-up-to-Stassney-he’s-always-right with some of you.

S&P is currently up 19.8% from it's October low (3583->4292).  ~7 points away from officially being back into bull market territory.

You mean my contributions never happened?  Because that’s what mine looks like.  Still needing some lube.

I do love when the contributions just disappear as soon as they're invested. Poof.

That's interesting, i just looked mine up and im down 6.9% wrt balance at end of dec '21 v balance after yesterday's close.  Ive stayed in the same funds and contributed the maximum allowable by IRS all along.  Im in Small Cap Index, LG Cap Value index, Total Mkt Index and Large cap growth index.  All with Fidelity.  Id be curious if you changed your investments or added contribution amounts, as I feel decent about things, but am still down 6.9% before today is factored in.

"Growth" and small caps have been in the murderhole the last year or so ever since inflation took off.  My 401k is at Fidelity and is in large caps + international.  It's up ~9% over the same time period you describe.

perhaps pre-sale is more accurate? Feb 2020 was just before the march covid crash that was bailed out by the massive infusion of dollars that helped create the inflationary environment we’re finally emerging from. Ultra low vix right now suggests to me that the inflows are dominated by passive investors. As we all know, most of that money goes into a handful of companies. This is not an efficient market

Markets rising like whoa!

MSFT up to an all-time high at $345 today. Market cap currently close to $2.6 trillion.

AAPL also at an all-time high of $185, inching them even closer to becoming the first $3T company (currently $2.91T).

 

Market goes down -- man, I sure am smart for keeping powder dry

Market goes up -- man, I wish I had put more money to work.

I read that as "ALPP" and thought:

Looks like a little bit of profit taking over this final hour of the trading day after a big week of gains.

DOW +350 since Monday

S&P +99

Nasdaq +360

Vanguard's federal money market fund and the long term corporate bond ETF both have a yield within half a percent of each other. Holy shit.

What does that mean?

That the yield curve is inverted, which it has been for quite a while

To go further:

Which has always signaled a recession.  Except for now, because of the super smarts running the show now...maaaybe???

I think PeneTrode has more upside.  

Aaaaaand now Apple is a 3 Trillion dollar market cap company. A larger market cap than the GDP of France.  3/4 of Germany.

I’m long Apple and have never considered selling any.  Purely psychologically I am now.

Would probably be a mistake.  Conflicted

Don’t sell. I’ve been long AAPL for over 25 years. They have too much cash and will continue to create some of the most innovative products in the world. Wait until they get really serious about health care and transportation.

Hey look - for once I didn't fuck up the market, took a flyer yesterday just before close and bought some next day SPY calls.
kinda humblebrag, kinda surprised it worked - now I'm thinking about buying some puts for Monday (or Wednesday) because getting it right once makes me think I've got this market thing all figured out. What could possibly go wrong?

So I went all in and bought 20 SPY puts that expire 7/5 expiry, overall cost of these was $330. Strikes are $439 and$439

Oops

i also owned SPY 443P that expired yesterday.  SPY closed at 443.14.  Now trading at 439.xx :sadpanda:

Now 437.65, and my 439 would be ITM and my 436's could get there as well - that's why the day/short term game is really just gambling, it is a fun game. So you have to celebrate the wins and don't look back at the losses (and realize that my $350 bet that was worth $0 yesterday would be worth about $2,000 today)

Remember when everyone was in a tizzy arguing the pedantry case whether we're in a recession or a bear market?

I was told that it's all a house of cards, the Fed will kill us all, inflation is secretly 18%, the only reason the market goes up is due to brrrrrt.

Maybe it's time to buy more puts.  Dunno.
