Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

The Taliban Hands Over Bagram Air Base to the United States

In a surprising development with significant geopolitical implications, the Afghan Taliban has reportedly handed over control of Bagram Air…

Well, this isn’t what I wanted to hear. Any guesses how war with Iran will affect the global markets? The bulk of the B2 bombers are at Diego Garcia right now too. My guess is they are after Irans nuclear enrichment and storage facilities.

Buy Northrop, Lockheed and Boeing. So much for draining the swamp. Where’s Liz Cheney?

Funny how looking at your posts from 4 years ago it was all about your shorting strategy. Now it’s all about your apologetic “Trump is creating a great buying opportunity for you” rhetoric taking straight from MAGA talking points. Your credibility suffers.

Spare me your smear attempt.

If you **really** read my posts from earlier you would clearly see my frequently noted "hobby value" ($5k) for day, swing trading, mainly focused on /around earnings reports.

I care not for who or what creates the buying opportunity. Heck, I also commented in this thread, my last buying opportunity created by... Covid.

SMH. Wildabeest, you stooped to a new low.

Nice try.

Good to know so many here play the markets, instead of having a real job. LOL

I spent a small fortune last year on improvements to make what is left a nicer life. While I could and afford it.
Some CD's & cash is it.
I'm just hoping I can still get the cancer meds I need.

Dow futures bounce 1100…… we probably don’t talk about that here thought

S&P futures up 2.6%, but I suspect we may be in for another roller coaster today.

It really isn't as hard as a lot of people make it often sound. When the market is in "fear mode" you want to look at reliable stocks. So with the market right now and this day in age stocks like Tesla, Amazon, Walmart, Apple, etc come to mind.

Agree, and that’s kind of my point. Those x4 stocks you listed make up a huge % of the S&P and are highly correlative to the market in general, so that would perform in a very similar fashion to an S&P index ETF. Aka “easy button” like SCHB or VFIAX.

Yesterday we had quite the little rip in the morning. That came from some guy with a check mark by his name on twitter saying that trump was doing something with tariffs. His name was Bloomberg something so the ai picked it up and whoever manipulates the market trading algo kicked in and we where off like a rocket. A hour later the white house says it’s bullshit and we drop like a rock. Point is the market is a lot more than politics and if you think it’s fare a fool and his money….

Definitely. Lots of crap in the fan still, do less time besides DCA until we get some direction as to how long and how severe tariffs will be.

EU offered us zero for zero tariffs and it was rejected, sounds like the admin wants us to export more to EU than import...good luck

Zero for zero seems like a hell of a deal to me. But I don't know much at all about that stuff.

I would agree, part of the problem is the admin hasn't really been clear on the end goal of these. It's all over the place in messaging and implementation.

I'd imagine in the next couple days we're gonna have an answer. That's just my uneducated guess.

I genuinely don't think they exactly know what the end goal is. Trump 2.0 is 100% emotionally impulsive and reactive in his decision making and his admin is 100% just there to try and make the nonsense make sense. There are no advisors advising anymore. Trump 1 at least partially listened to advisors.

So not only did Trump not get us out of Afghanistan after talking about it for years, he now got us back in to Afghanistan?? Haven't we learned that we need to stay tf out of that hell hole?

lol! What a roller coaster

This is the bounce I expected last Friday. A little late but I'll take it. Did get some QQQ bought yesterday.

Golden T Fartcoins are more better.

We'll find out in due time, I guess.

In the meantime, I am enjoying the cat fight between Musk and Navarro. It isn't really a fair fight, since Musk has a huge platform. Earlier, Musk posted that Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks. I am not always simpatico with Musk...here, we kinda agree.

The EU deal was not 0 for 0. It only includes industrial space, didn't touch the rest. Thats why Trump said no
