Watching this market try to get its footing is like watching the town wino attempt to ride a skateboard.
Yes - An utter waste of time unless you’re seriously considering an imminent buy or sell.
Re Mr. Market - Went from green early (when @Derf posted) … to red … to green … and back to red. I think what’s been happening for quite some days now is that investors are trying to cut recent losses by selling winners when they jump a bit. They’re taking small gains whenever and wherever they can. That tends to put a cap on how far the market can advance and leads to late day downturns.
My perspective is that a good company … is a good company is …. So, unless you grossly overpaid for a company (either directly or thru a fund) you’ll come out just fine. If the heat bothers you, it’s time to vacate the kitchen and move into cash / cash proxies. Most of the posters here, however, appear to be long-term investors and have their heads screwed on straight.
Notice how @Derf“jinxed” the day with his optimistic early morning market report?
A one-page story by James Thurber sums it up nicely: “Don’t count your boobies until they are hatched.”
Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his scrambled eggs to see a white unicorn with a gold horn quietly cropping the roses in the garden. The man went up to the bedroom where his wife was still asleep and woke her. "There's a unicorn in the garden," he said.
Lucky I got out cryptos and options 6 wks ago Still down lots for 6 months
Crypto is one area that I feel fairly certain will recover and I'm buying more with each daily crash. There is no fundamental reason for the sell off, sold by those who should not have bought in the first place. I'm not sure which crypto vehicle will prevail, only that the technology and concept is here to stay. Using BITQ to make my bet.
@wxman123: that is some serious confidence in BITQ. I hope you get rewarded.
It is literally the bet I feel most confident in as regards risk versus reward at the moment. People really misunderstand this space. I am NOT saying that any particular crypto will do great, though bitcoin has many advantages as one of the first/largest, but the tech is here forever, IMO. I think crypto may be leading the market, up and down these days.
