Of course it matters, you said you weren't trying to time it perfectly(which would be a ridiculous goal anyway) but get near the high. You did it to sell high and get back in low. You weren't even close to the high. There is no way I'm giving you a win on this. You even admit it in this thread throughout. It's still in question if you can even get back in under where you sold, we're at 21,400 right now. We'll see how you do on re-entry, you might nail it, you might even make gains off of this, although it will be at a comical level due to what it took. But in term of strictly the sell point, 18300, total miss. That's already done regardless of the 2nd step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to my original portfolio only, then yes. But as previously explained, I will definitely make a nice gain due to my post-sale contributions not being invested.

Dow (INDU) futures were down 371 points, or about 1.7%. S&P 500 (SPX) futures fell around 1.8% and Nasdaq (COMP) futures were down around 1.5%. abenjami 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The market high for our(me and wife) 401k funds were 59.23 a share Feb 20th. We automatically bought shares 3-20-20 and they were 35.30 at that time. That was almost the low. We got 25 more shares than we would have at the high price. I buy VYM at the end of every month in my taxable account. I buy a lot more shares here than the 401k. I'll calculate the same then. The low there was 60.07 and it's already back up to 71.67, I'd like to see it get back to the low 60s but I have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManningEnvy Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I’ve done to much viral research in my career to let a virus get me. I simply wash my hands and stay away from stupid assholes like you. If I die in the next few months it will be at Sarah’s hand. I cut off the maid service.
