Make stocks cheap again. You dont get ops like this too often. The last best one was April 2020.
You also had one in 2022... Also, let's get real, we're only back to September 2024 prices. SPX hasn't even passed correction territory yet (although it is close).

Oh you are looking to buy QQQ?

I was looking at VOO and QQQM.
And that might be a temporary bounce at that. We might have to wait until Fall to see the floor or maybe even next spring.

You just never know.

You are correct. I'll put some numbers to it.

The S&P500 is (at the time of my posting):
  • Down 2.7% since election day Nov 5, 2024.
  • Down 6.2% since inauguration day Jan 20, 2025.
  • Down 8.5% since its all time high Feb 19, 2025.
Make all those numbers ~70% larger for the Nasdaq which entered correction territory today.

QQQ officially down over 4% which is my day only trigger to take profits on my put. Bought today and made 20%.

I suspect we *may* have a small bounce tomorrow as dip buyers hold their nose and some shorts take profits. I am making payments every 2 weeks on a 401k at 9% that is averaging down into Wilshire 5000. We dont have an S&P option for some reason. The majority of money is protected in bonds.

Market volatility means option prices are getting absurd, so it may be unlikely to make another quick one day 20% gain on QQQ puts.

Went to get meds today..

Started chatting with the pharmacist.. he said he's down more than 300k just today in the market with no selling point in sight. Must have a lot invested in Tesla!

He said some people he knew left for overseas and are making big money now. At the time it seemed like they're stupid but they saw an opportunity and made out big while we're having the rug pulled out from under us.

Oh official price increase by 10% on drugs today. Pretty soon it maybe food/ rent vs med costs

Wow, down 300k, I would be depressed at that kind of paper loss. It could come back one day assuming it's index invested. Just have to forget you have the money.

I had heard Buffet dumped most of stocks not too long ago including S&P.

That's when I thought of getting out as I was red in 5, green in 2.. I got out of NVDA in green..

He must have really foreseen something bad to get out of S&P 500 index funds as he's sworn by those for the past 50 years.

Think about this post the next time you wiggle your mouse to show Active on Teams... only to go play COD... and wonder why The Man demands Trump do this.
My coworkers and I all have billable hours and work to produce. Despite your delusions, you can't really fake working. You either are producing or you're not. And if you're not, you're gone.

I can't think of a single work from home person that can get away with that (and I know over a dozen personally who work from home--mostly computer programming related, but some project management friends). If their tasks aren't turned in, on time, done properly, they are let go. For example, they have a set number of software bugs to quash each week. Or a given number of new features to develop. Companies love to fire WFH employees first, so they have to work harder to stay employed.
