Which sort of was an admission that he's manipulating the market, no?
But not everyone coming out all at once saying tariffs are bad and that they caused the Great Depression.
For the last week numerous posters were regurgitating Wall Street talking points.
CEO of jp morgan saying recession most likely.
Nope none of them manipulated the market.

I recognize that everybody's situation is different in terms of goals, risk tolerance, emergency fund criteria, and especially time horizons.
I made a handsome return today on the S & P correction today. When the index returns to the 6100 category I will make a greater profit at that time because the economy will return stronger than ever.
I am far from an economist. I barely skated out of Lake Charles High School with a 2.0 GPA and have never been accused as being a scholar or an intellectual heavyweight but I can tell you if there is further turmoil I will buy on the dip once again. I do not believe that there is much downside with ever taking a profit.
All the best.

I would be right there with you if I was pushing 40 or 50 instead of pushing 70. It's basically a matter of where we are in life and being concerned about gambling with, as noted, our only source of retirement income save Social Security.

Yep, I will never forget negative oil prices scaring me away from the bottom during COVID. Pretty sure we retested THE lows that day but the headline distracted me. Learned a tremendous lesson that day.

I bought SWPPX last Friday at $78.15.
I love the market turmoil. Everyone wants to talk investing and personal finance when we have 15 years without a recession. This separates the weak hearted.

Again, we're simply not going to have as much in equities as we did 25 years ago but I'm not liking what I'm seeing in the bond market, not seeing it as a foundation or safe haven at present.
Again, that's what spooked me and it still spooks me regardless of what the DJ did today. We were in the mid 50s in bonds and I'm leery of doing that right now.
My story is similar to yours … and I applaud you current outlook. Like you, I’m leery …. having experienced the 2000 and 2007 calamities as an investor. No way could I go all in on equities right now, way too much risk.
Base metal commodities have been very good for me and make up 14% of our portfolio. I don’t mess with these as they are solid performers, not unlike bonds. The rest has been in cash/mm since November….until last Thursday. That’s when I moved 10% of my cash into 12 tickers that were on my short list …. to take advantage of the significant dip.
Of those 12, I have since stopped out of 4 of those (lost $304., three were energy sector) and am currently positive on the remaining 8 tickers (+$4,219., top 3 are consumer sector) I fully expect to stop out of the remaining 8 too, if the market takes the next leg down, as expected.
My point is that there are still opportunities to nibble, but too risky for all in. The macro economic outlook is not very stable right now … something to carefully watch . Good fortune to all.

Clear eyes overcame emotion. Global trade is still fricked.
