9 Nines Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Today, most to all US indices, and many major stocks like NVDA, have given back all their post election runs - all are back to pre-election levels. Technically, all look to be turning over. Yield curve has corrected/normalized, long term rates are increasing, all things limiting growth stocks. If Trump does something radical with tariffs and deportation, the markets could get very ugly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollaBillz Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) Happy that my retirement goals include factoring in volatility, so I won’t be fake “retired” and still crying breathlessly about every dip in the market while demonstrating I have no idea how the stock market works on a football message board. Fun thread! Edited February 13 by DollaBillz OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three stocks that swing in fairly predictable swings the last few months. I write calls on them in upper end, and puts in lower end over and over and over sometimes repeatedly within an hour. Its my Peyton Manning approach to trading, taking what the market (defense) gives me, and after I get comfortable with it, I will do it at larger size so it will be Peyton Manning in Beast Mode style, over and over and over.

Hardly, but it is really not much risk, other than the normal risk of owning the stock. A few times the stocks continued up, so I rolled the calls out to the next week at a $1 higher strike and still took a net ~25 cents a share, then when it came back down, I closed-bought those at a lower price. With weekly options, covered calls are easy to manage. Maybe on a 50% move, I might lose them, and that could happen with these stocks, but they would likely retrace so I could buy back again and they probably wont do that anyway at their current marketcaps.

OILERMAN Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I saw in Federal retirement 401k(The Thrift Savings Plan) a huge amount of money was moved out of the market into money market funds $31B in Outflows Over Past Two Months Published: April 23, 2025 Of course since then the market shot back up. Those people locked in their losses and missed the run back up. No one knows what the market will do going forward but it's more than possible for the market to go up while the overall economy sucks. More proof you can't time the market Jamalisms, and abenjami 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to sell, that's not the time to do it. Might be you shouldn't ever do it but if you're going to pick your moment, you don't do it while the crash is happening.
