Goldilocks rally. Hopefully it doesn't get ruined with world politics, tariffs and retaliation tariffs.
Crypto looks interesting 🤔

Not sure wtf this Twitter post is talking about but it sure looks like misinformation to me. Apple is the single top company in the s&p 500 at almost 7% of the index.I want it to go down down down but it keeps going up up up!
BTW
Um, no. Apple is #1 by market cap. It just has been one of the worst S&P500 stock market returns so far this year. That does not mean that it will be dropped. It would only be dropped if Apple really, really, really tanks (and I can't see that in the near future). I don't even know how you become ranked #501 in performance out of 500 companies. That is like saying if my left pinky finger becomes my 11th favorite finger, then I'll cut it of. How can one of 10 fingers become my 11th favorite?
That's why it's best to stick to tried and true broad market index funds. If you want to gamble a little with individual stocks, do whatever floats your boat.I'm looking at SOFI at 17.. I had a chance to get it at 14 but thought no.. people made easy money getting it at 4.
I'm beginning to agree with some of you here.. by the time you read about a company being good and on the upside in the news.. you've already missed the train.
Well I'm biased towards holding in general. At least when it comes to companies that do things that can't easily be done by others.That was probably me. NET was my best investment last year.
It's been a wild ride. I had some NET from way back when that I had been aimlessly holding and when NET popped into the 90's I bought some more . I read that NET might hit $150 this year.
Of course then NET had a brutal drop from like $100 to $70. Dark days those were. I wasn't sure what to do. I almost sold and got out. But then I remembered a quote by an esteemed philosopher:
"If every instinct you have is wrong then the opposite must be correct"
(ok I kind of made that up but not completely)
So instead of selling I added shares in the 70's. And sure enough - NET started to come back. It crawled back into the 80's then 90's and then popped to around $110-$115. And now it's over $120.
So I'm left with some enviable options:
NET reports on 2/6. Do I sell on 2/5? The 2/7 calls are off the charts so some people are obviously expecting an earnings surprise. Do I sell those calls? The 1/31 calls don't yield much but it might be free money. Do I try to sell both?
Or do I just hold the entire batch until I retire many years from now and hope it keeps going up?
EURO STOXX 600Oh and I was thinking that this might be a really good time for someone to come out with an ETF that's not got Tesla in it..
couldn't find anything else except for XMAG but it has a 0.30% expense ratio.. quite hefty compared to VOO 0.03%
Anyone have any ideas?
Yup, my portfolio just took a nosedive from 2,9% YTD to -0,3%...Futures down 3% PM 🫨
