Stocks - The Best Buys 2

[Shazam]

Long term the decay happens because those sorts of leveraged etfs rebalance daily.

I actually got out of two of my bigger holdings today at closing - QQQM and NVDA. Would have got out of more and more into cash, but didn't have time. I still don't think things go this linear in Trumpville. He's going to say something to set off the market again, I'd think. I'll just wait for that pullback to redeploy the cash again.

Wonder how much the Trump family made in the last month trading stocks.

It's crazy that SPY just blasted through the 200 day MA.

Go to a bookstore that sells new books, read chapter 8 of The Intelligent Investor (3rd edition), and the commentary that follows. Striking how words from 1949 are still true today.

Talk me out of this.


With the market rising the past few weeks, but still a fair amount of uncertainty on tariffs, political instability, interest rate risks, I'm considering selling out of the market completely. I realize staying in most argue is key, but surely the market can't keep up given these odd fundamentals. Something has to give is my rationale.

Thoughts?

Don't time it?

This has been proven over and over and over again.

[Table 5]

The problem with selling 100% is that psychologically it's harder to buy back in if the market goes against your expectations.

Sell as much as it takes for you to sleep at night, but I think it's always good to have some skin in the game...even if its just 10%.

Buy some puts if you're that worried.

And this is how it begins.

(EDIT: I guess I should slap a language warning. And it's about wallstreetbets so I'm sure some nutbars will want to scream about conspiracies and ####. )

I bought some cheap puts a few strikes out of the money to cover my holdings just in case we don't have TACO Wednesday on July 9th. [shrug] It's insurance.

If you want to sell your risky stuff, go for it. I do this from time to time and put it back into a bit of cash and then a collection of dividend stocks that pay 7% that are all on DRIP’s.

Do not try and time the market….
