Stock market investing

I'd say China, and while China political party may be called "communist" they seem to embrace capitalism more than US which is turning socialist.Screenshot (255).png
 
The middle of February saw the stock market take a beating due to the Corona virus pandemic hitting the US. Some companies saw there stock prices lose 50-70% of there value in a matter of days. I was wondering if any of you have taken this as an opportunity to invest in the market while prices are down hoping to cash in when it goes back up. You know, buy low and sell high. If so what are some of the companies your looking at?
My investment plan does not change with the vagaries of the stock market. I have a set amount I invest in boring old index funds twice a month no matter what the market is doing.

Market goes down? Great. That means what I am buying is on sale.

Market goes up? Ok. Fine. All the stuff I bought previously is worth more even through the shares I am buying today are more expensive.

Just keep plodding away on your plan. That is why you make a plan. You do have a plan, right? No? Then put one together.

Great, great advice! Unfortunately its advice that I failed to follow and had to learn the hard way. Instead of investing slow and steady and sticking to my investment strategy I got drawn in to the lure of stock options and the potential profits and fast money that come with them. I learned real quick that I dont have the risk tolerance needed for that kind of market strategy so now im back to just boring old long term investing into solid stocks, reinvesting my dividends and watching my portfolio slowly grow with time...and im ok with that. Biggest take away, wether its your gym routine, your next cycle, or your investment strategy, take the time to do your research, make a plan and then STICK TO IT!
 
Brother, I made so many investing mistakes when I was younger, that I could write a book. I finally realized just boring old index funds with a minimum of 20% of my income gets me where I need to be, financially independent. So I just do it. I set it on autopilot and forget it, except to glance at my balance once in a while and wonder how it keeps growing . . .

If the stock market drops 50% tomorrow, my plan stays in place and keeps pressing forward.

I already know my risk tolerance and my plan incorporates my risk tolerance, so it does not matter what the stock market does, up, down, crash, no matter to me, my periodic investment goes into my asset allocation on schedule just the same.

The Invesco QQQ ETF has been fantastic for me. I put 25K into it earlier this year when it tanked to around $170 a share and it's worth $305 a share as of today.

Not too shabby.
 
Asset prices are rising largely due to monetary policies. The number of dollars, for example, has been increased by around 150% since March. Of course, the stock market is one of the primary beneficiaries of monetary expansion. I've always been terrible at making money when the stock market is rising, but I do make up for it when the bubbles finally burst.
 
Well, 23% growth this year in the money supply, but I get your point.

Exactly why I HODL bitcoins, prepare for cost of living to go up even higher, and rich get even RICHER!

That's M2 which includes more than dollars. Dollars, M1, have increased 150% since March. M1 is a better asset inflation predictor than M2 IMO.

I did very well buying oil/gas stocks in March/April...I think there's still a good bit of money to be made there.

Rather than continue an online debate, I will just comment that math is not your strong point and leave it at that.
 
What do you guys think of chip suppliers for 5G rollout? I’ve made some good money on SWKS and bought back in recently. I’m thinking supply chain feeding Internet of Things amid 5G will pay significant dividends in upcoming years

China has embraced capitalism more than even the USA, don't let your blind patriotism prevent your from investing in the future with greater returns. Remember meso members the vast majority of you have Chinese made drugs flowing through your veins as we speak, not US buddy.

PS: I'm not even Chinese.
 
Guo Shuqing, Communist Party secretary of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), says the US stock market is the greatest bubble risk in the global economy.

The “side effects” of aggressive economic stimulus policies in the United States and other developed countries have started to surface in the US stock market, China’s top financial regulator warned on Tuesday, saying officials in Beijing were “very worried” that foreign asset bubbles could burst soon.

The stock market is not reflecting on the economy. US government is printing TRILLIONS of dollars out of thin air. How can a government spend nearly TWICE what it takes in through taxes? The world will eventually wake up to the valueless dollar which the US government prints at will, its value will collapse.

I went from a 328.40% on the stock market this year down to 284.61% so far in the stock market BUT my bitcoins remains to be my greatest defense in this mass spending chaos.Screenshot (539).png

I personally believe Bitcoin will break 100K this year.
