Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StrikeEagle15: The US gov is the biggest owner of bitcoin. It won’t and can’t fail. Lol, the US gov doesn’t invest in bitcoin because it is in competition with their own funding mechanisms. Bitcoin is a dream, wrapped up in speculation, and feeds on greed/FOMO. It provides some tangible value, but in the other hand it is incredibly inefficient and the network to exchange to be used daily by the world public isn’t there. I applaud those who made money off it, but when compared to companies that actually produce/provide value to people, bitcoin is extremely far down on the list. |

Still buying stocks with the dividends paid, but no new stock purchases for a while, and will wait a bit more, probably months, to start nibbling on some beat-down stocks. I have bought some CD's at 4.05% for a year. I am watching PE ratios and like to buy below 16 if possible. With earnings perhaps getting ready to drop for most businesses the PE ratios won't be where I want for a while. I think those who choose wisely in the near future will position themselves for big gains sometime late next year. As always, this is just my way of thinking. |

I am going to go crazy this morning and go way, way, way out on a limb.
Here is my prediction for a bottom of the markets; Dow 25,000 S&P 3,000 NAS 9,500 Anyone else have an idea? Unknown: the timing that the markets hit the bottom. Maybe early 2023. You can beat me up later for stupidity!

You can beat me up later for stupidity! On the doom side, most of the magic 8 ball market people have a range of 3200-2800 for the S&P bottom. IDK. I can see 3200. 2800 is going to really suck. All depends on if the FED holds firm on raising interest rates to slay the inflation dragon or folds.  P/E ratios right now make things look attractive, and that's probably going to give us one last bear market rally. Then the earnings will be revised downward and the rug gets pulled out from under the feet of that rally. |

Stability of Credit Suisse, bond yields that could rise negatively impacting pension funds, tensions with Russia or China that could escalate, unstable housing market, and inverted yield curve. I'm sure I have missed some. It is my opinion that most or all of these will be resolved, but I think these pose a risk. Added: I forgot to mention we have idiots running our government.

I ended up buying a little MMM today when it hit it's 52 week low. Not enough to break the bank (if it keeps dropping).
Started moving back into oil a bit also. I was hoping it would get into the low 70's to buy, but I think that ship has sailed with the OPEC cut and SPR draws ending soon. |

Been riding the thermal coal wave for a while. I suspect many of the companies have their best days ahead of them as contracts expire and new contracts are signed for significantly higher rates per ton. I'm not looking at buying most things right now, I'd like to add more ARLP, BTU, HNRG, and ARCH but I'm just maxed on those allocations right now and dont see many other areas outside energy I'm willing to buy into right now to offset.
I'm just letting the income streams build a nest egg while I watch for next moves. One question I have for guys more experienced in bond ETFs is if as fed rate hikes impact the funds, consider buying in at lower value because eventually the bonds will be either sold or paid out and fresh bonds at higher rates will be added to the fund? My thought is I might rather have a bit less return short term if I buy at a discount now/soon if I can lock in better long term returns as the rate hikes take hold in the long term, and maybe have the option to cash out when the bond market firms up reflecting the higher rates. I'm not a bond guy, but I'm trying to learn how they edd and flow. |

The swings are going to be insane. 4 investments I want to DCA into when I believe we are getting close. Long term CDs or treasuries. Long term underrated (in my mind) corporate bonds from companies unlikely to default. Tech stocks. BTC. The end of the year is predicted to be a low liquidity freefall as everything in the dumps gets sold off for tax harvesting and rebalance so it will be very tempting to start dipping my toes in then and continue through next spring. |

I think it will be a rough ride but I'm thinking things continue to slope downwards throughout 2023. I'm guessing no real sustained uptick until middle / late 2024 at best. Doesn't mean there won't be rallys, but there will be sudden sell offs as well. The market is a bit too schizoid at the moment to just dive back in on the next dip. There are a lot of zombies that will be killed off in the next few years and maybe even a few "name" companies that were subsisting on cheap FED money to continue to operate. Really nothing has changed for the better, pieces keep being moved around, traders talk their book but no real solid ideas. The long term results from the last 3 years of C19, Elections, DA economic policies and wars have yet to really be seen. I still think the whole 'recession' or 'depression' thing is just getting through the introductions and flyovers. The players have been introduced but the game hasn't started yet. I'm hopeful but not optimistic at the moment. I'm hoarding cash and reviewing my "list" to see where stocks I may want to buy, (especially dividend stocks) are price wise. |

So I have no idea what I’m doing really, but I’ve taken some spare cash this year and thrown it into Robinhood. I have my normal 401K maxed out and real estate/other investments, and decided to watch this thread and just kind of buy random stocks
I’ve been looking at the 52week low prices, and buying based off of the stock being close to the 52 week low. And also if Robinhood has a high percentage of buy rate vs hold or sell. Is this is good plan to continue throwing $2-$4K a month at, at this time? I do have a lot of cash that I’m keeping on hand (keeping in a Goldman account at 2.75%), in hopes of picking up another rental property hoping housing prices fall through the floor.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileI was looking at throwing $4K towards Nike tomorrow, since the 52week low is $82, the 52 week high was $180, and it’s at $88 right now.  Thoughts on that? |

BlackTaco,
I have been in the stock market for over 35 years. While I am not a great stock market investor, I have found that given enough time you will most likely make money in the market. Sorry, I can't tell you how long or when! I continue to buy stocks from the dividends on the stocks I already own. I am not currently buying more stocks, other then reinvestment of dividends, but I am putting money in CD's. I will buy some more CD's, probably, next month when the fed is expected to raise rates again. I am waiting until most likely early next year to start buying additional stocks. Of course this could change depending on the economy and the fed. Overall, stocks have been good investments for me long-term. |

Don’t know too much about Nike other than they went woke and are catering to customers who are more likely to steal shoes than pay money for them. While working hard to piss off average dudes who would pay for them. And eventually using child labor in China will catch up to them. If not exposure to China alone. Also investing near the 52 week low does not mean it will go back to the highs. It can always go much lower and never return. Just a gut feeling but I think Nike is dying. Back down to early 2000’s levels. But who knows, good luck. |

I don't know if this interests anyone here, but here is a list of stocks that I took gains on this year. These were sold in part, or entirely.
These will be the stocks I am most interested in repurchasing when I think the market is at or near the bottom. MGK 27.26% SPY 8.74% FTEC 13.10% V 33.16% AMZN 26.52 % LOW 138.99% I am still down overall this year by approx. 17% currently, so not a good year for me in the market. The bright side, if you can call it that, is that last year I had an overall gain in excess of my losses so far this year. I won't list the stocks I took losses in this year, out of respect for my ego.

Was thinking it might be an OK investment with an aging population. I've owned them for 5-6 years, solid play. Iirc is a reit and I think I own it in a Roth, bit it may be better to hold in a trad investing account for max benefit. |

When I sold off part of my holdings to take profits and build more cash this year, I bought both MPW and OHI.
My thinking was that MPW pays a 11.35 dividend, and OHI pays a 8.64% dividend. As one of the boomers, I see what appears to be a growing need for medical care and this should be a growing industry for a number of years. IMHO, MPW seems to be the stronger company. Added: MPW shows 10 consecutive years of dividend increases (contender) per the Dividend Investing Resource pages https://www.dripinvesting.org/tools/tools.asp I find this a valuable tool sometimes and prefer the champions section but contender is good. Note, both of these stocks are YTD losses for me so far. |

Was thinking it might be an OK investment with an aging population. I've been reading about MPW - their portfolio looks solid. GMRE doesn't look bad either. Dividend of around 10% I'm picking up some of both of these. Healthcare took a big hit with Covid - but I think it is safe bet going down the road. Healthcare is something that most people see as a necessity - like food, or gasoline, and will continue to be consumers of such. |

I bought a very small amount of MSFT this morning. I will probably continue to nibble on MSFT if it keeps dropping in price, very small purchases at a time in my broker account with no fees.
I have owned Microsoft for many years, both the stock and as part of the top holdings in several ETF's that I own. Looking forward to next week to see what CD rates do. If they move up nicely I will put some more money into CD's with insured banks. |

When ad spending comes back, I keep hearing that GOOG will capture 85% of it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GoldenMead: Anyone thinking about buying META at these levels? Does anyone not think it's going to end up like MySpace, which ended up like AOL, and so on? Social media empires have a short life. Young people aren't using it. Metaverse is retarded. Woke. Issues spying on people. Their ads for small businesses get zero reach anymore and no one uses it. So, that's a no from me. |

Just a few people called me and they are like it’s a steal at these prices. After seeing Amazon crater as hard as it is after hours I’m thinking the people in the know, know more then me. |
