I had downside protection, but I wasn't pessimistic enough. Could have actually gained today if I had been more pessimistic.

Good time to buy the dip! I almost wonder if this is strategic. I'm sure lot of people are going to get rich off this, doubt it will stay this low and it will slowly climb back up over the years.

Too soon. We haven't seen the EU reciprocal tariffs yet. Trump could do some more tariffs as well in retaliation (e.g. against China).

Also apparently jpow is speaking today as well (11:25 eastern).

Oh yeah I would wait, I think it has a lot more down to go. I have $200/pay that goes to my investment account, I usually login and buy 1 index fund, but I might just let the cash accumulate so I have the cash ready in case I decide to make any moves on anything. Probably going to end up still sticking with index funds though...

Not sure why KKR has been dropping faster than the market, down 40% YTD. You would think with a slowdown they would be in position to gobble up more things. Didn't see anything to indicate they are leveraged. I was looking to sell covered calls in Jan since it was around $150 and I wanted to pull some money out for projects in June. Now it's down to $90.

Down 10% in two days. This definitely reminds me of the Covid crash.

There is always surprises during crashes. My "surprise" guess is...

The Fed will cut the rates by .25 or .50 next week and there will be a rally....but the market will probably go back down in the weeks following.

At this point, you're probably best keeping stuff in a HYSA or Treasury money market. At least those pay interest and preserve capital, if that's what you're trying to do.

Twitter filled with.. ohh some tech stocks are so cheap.. if you bought them at highs.. you must buy them now when they are down 20% etc

Probably trying to find buyers for their shares.

Glad I got out of tech a few weeks ago.

Got 25% to play with. May start now accumulating Berkshire B shares which was my long term plan once I started to cash in tech gains.

I expect each time a economic report comes out that shows consumer spending down or unemployment up, markets will drop. And we'll being see those for awhile if the tariffs stay.

And now the "surprise" bounce...

Trump to meet with Vietnam leaders to possibly remove all their tariffs (in Vietnam against America).

Also Powell set to speak. I suspect dovish calm.

Trump says a lot of things. Anyway the tariff rate he set for them isn't actually based on anything Vietnam charges us, it's based on the trade deficit. A lot of companies expanded or moved to Vietnam to dodge trade friction with China which expanded their trade deficit with the US substantially.

Fed aint riding to the rescue anytime soon.

POWELL: FED WELL-POSITIONED TO WAIT TO CONSIDER ADJUSTMENTS

The Fed always bows to pressure eventually. Might not be next week but I'll bet they cut eventually.

As far as "reality" is concerned vs the market bitching for a rate cut now, Powell would be right to hold the line and do nothing!

I just thought he would throw a bone today.

I listened to his comments. Pretty hawkish tone. They are going to sit by and watch this clusterfuck unfold for a while before deciding what to do, if anything.

Even he was to renege all of the tariffs today, the market doesn't like uncertainty. It becomes too much of a casino at that point. You can't plan for growth in this environment.

1 year of gains now gone. We're actually getting close to some 2021 highs which is probably where the line will hold for a little bit. Imagine having bought an index fund in October of 2021 and being in the red soon. That's the panic button for a lot of people, imo because it could put years of compounding since then as a loss too depending on what the cost average is.

Well, I'm out a couple international vacations after yesterday's numbers.

Time to HODL with my πŸ’Ž πŸ‘

Never been good at timing a market, so instead of pulling out I'm just not going to put anything in. Thoughts on where future funds should be directed?
