Stock Market, where’s the bottom?

[MPHSystems]

I understand and adhere to the axiom “Time in market beats market timing, always” …. That said, I’d rather have a few fewer days/weeks of owning 1000 shares XYZ @$50 than a few more days/weeks of owning 500 shares XYZ @ $100.


Let’s say someone had a small cash position, when’s a good time to get deeper in VOO?

 

[LuauLounge]

Most likely right now.......
Until some other great news comes out from our illustrious leaders.

 

[nameisbond]

Inflation will continue to rise and that will kill the stock market. There is more room to fall!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

IMO we aren't close to a bottom in stocks yet. Don't try to catch a falling knife.

What you want to do is wait until the FED stops hiking rates and stops QT. When the first cut happens and QE is turned back on is when you want to start buying again.

 

[TCHB]

We are getting close.

 

[dribble]

Nobody knows. In November 2007 everyone in the know said we were at the bottom. Then came Jan- March 2008

 

[farmo83]

If CPI comes in over tomorrow the market will freak out.

If we start seeing an inflection downward on inflation I think we'll start to turn back to green throughout the 2nd half of the year.

 

[Havasu blue label]

It’s a good day to buy for long term

 

[HAVASUSUN]

Not sure it is the best strategy but I buy incrementally vs waiting for the bottom. I buy small amounts each month of the same stocks. I am playing the long game.

 

[Havasu blue label]

You will be wealthy man when we get a new president . It’s a good day to buy

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

I think we have a ways to go. It's a bloodbath. I think SQQQ is the only good play with this president, Ukraine, mid-terms, etc.

 

[nameisbond]

The current dire market situation is totally the mistake of the Federal Reserve and the Biden Administration. Chairman Powell has acknowledged that the only way to stop inflation is to increase interest rates, and he is stalling due to his cowardice. The Pres. and multiple Congressmen have also put pressure on Powell not to raise interest rates. Powell is true to form playing the cowardly lion.

The market reaction is simple. If interest rates are not raised, inflation will rise, a very negative factor for the stock market. The stock market selling now is just to get ahead of the curve since inflation unchecked will force interest rates higher anyway and damage the stock market not far down the road. It is almost impossible to fix the current situation because interest rates will rise in any event and inflation is now baked in.

Stock Market in the upcoming recession?:
You can wait for it to bottom but buy some that's somewhat recession resistant. Not recession proof, but may fare well.

I like:
Ford.
The F150 electric Lightning is priced right with excellent features, colossal, astronomical, stupendous 90 AMP home charging and it's built at a dedicated factory.

Tesla.
The new Tesla 4680 battery will go into a much cheaper model that will keep Tesla on top and on the rise while dealing with increased competition.
If Tesla get the manganese-based cathode battery perfected that'll also be a HUGE jump on the competition - and it looks promising.

Hubbell, Square D, Eaton, Leviton, Paneltronics are elect panel service mfg's supplying new and refit homes of the rising elect vehicle market buyers and commercial applications. They are damn near sold out.

Avoid airlines as usual it'll only get worse for them. Hotels fate usually rolls with Airlines.

Dark horse is Apple. Could do well,, could take a crap. Their glory days may be behind us.

A distant dark horse may be 3M.
New EV solid state batteries are reliant on being super flat stratifications.
3M holds that technology, 3M is a flat products MFG. Without 3M we wouldn't have seen the CD/DVD get perfected so soon if at all.
But then again 3M is stupid in spite of their successes and Panasonic, Tesla and GM want to keep this tech in house.

 

[Boat 405]

We are no where even close to a bottom

 

[Singleton]

2 weeks

 

[Mack]

Before you jump on this first ford electric truck check who makes the batteries and research the antitrust lawsuit they lost. 4 years of batteries for ford from this company. Next electric ford truck is going to have ford made batteries at a ford plant. This would be a safer bet than this first truck.

I’m already deep enough into TSLA, I bought at $389. IMO it is grossly overvalued. But I’mup considerably on it so I’m not complaining.


I don’t have much money so I have to make it count.


I’m A EC, done a few EV charger installs. Most don’t require a sub panel or service upgrade. Probably 1/2 of PV installs don’t require a service upgrade. Square D, Siemens and Eaton have been having supply chain issues for many years. IMO, it’s poor business rather than EV demand that’s driving that.

F possibly but I’m over-positioned In individual positions.

I was expecting a bigger impact from inflation, I’m heavy, about 13% into NEM and EGO. I still think inflation is going to help those a lot.

 

[Havasu blue label]

2 weeks I will be on a freeway on ramp

 

[HCP3]

Biden will be speaking soon about the economy. I bet stocks fall after he is done mumbling.

Yea, trying to avoid the suckers bears. I have more holes in my hands than Jesus from the knives I’ve caught.

Not so sure about that…You underestimate the stupidity of the american voter.

It's too early in the day for seeing that ignorant bag of shit.

 

[pronstar]

Historically, cumulative effect of the Fed dumping $100B/month from its balance sheet is going to cause a lot more volatility in the coming months.

Unwinding The Fed's Balance Sheet May Cause Chaos For Stocks

Details around plans to reduce the balance sheet have been sparse. However, it could be around $100B per month. See why this could create big problems here.

[HTMike]

Its going to fall for the rest of the year. The market is going to crater hard. Wait until businesses start to go under and people can't make boat/car/jet ski payments. We haven't even begun to feel pain yet !

Interest rates are going up... markets will continue to go down.... the days of free / cheap capital are over for a while.

Look around.... what truly good news are you seeing?

I don’t trust this reversal lol

The days of " free money " are over. Its going to be very interesting to see which businesses will survive this next go around because a lot of people feel safe when they likely are not.

Can't get hurt if you don't sell. Musk isn't standing still, he looks to the future.

 

[Orange Juice]

Inflation will be around for a few years. The supply chain shortage outlook is at least 2024.
Interest rates will try to keep inflation under control, but with fewer product available, will drive up costs.

If you’ve lived through the 1970’s, the future becomes more clear. I’m expecting fuel prices to double over the next 5 years ($10 a gallon). Farmland prices will double. And interest rates will top out at 10%. Stock picking is going to be important….look for more automation, and less reliance on labor.

I also see “more” massive infrastructure failures, at all levels. Someone is going to pay to replace all those 50-75 y/o steel water lines, hidden under our road ways. I’m expecting increase taxes to cover those costs, especially in rural areas.

If your not paying attention, it’s going to hit you like a ton of bricks, just like it has buying a replacement truck this year, or a home.

Yea, you also can’t buy anything with the money if you don’t sell either LOL

 

[shintoooo]

There’s going to be a lot more pain for a while. I don’t suggest getting into the market at all right now. Could go down another 20-30%.

Excellent point. There's a shit ton of infrastructure that needs replacement. The government has already spent way more than we can pay back. It's gonna be interesting.

If it gets bad, people are going to start jumping off buildings. I remember in 2001, lots of stock brokers jumped off buildings after they lost it all. There was a couple that worked in my building back then and they went up the top floor of the parking structure and jumped. They had lost all their investments and retirement in the 2001 dot com bust. Very sad.

 

[zhandfull]

Where’s the bottom?

Remember the disclaimer on the broker ads. Something along the lines of stocks are not FDIC insured and you can loose all of your money!

Can happen in penny stocks, tech or any stock. As an example, The GM bankruptcy wiped out many stock holders in the last big stock market cycle.

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

To Shintoo’s point - there are large multi-billion dollar funds bleeding badly and they are loaded to the gunnels with “wizards of smart”.

They can’t time the market, yet some RDP day traders can?

The only safe place right now is on the sidelines.

Metals aren’t even doing what they typically do in inflationary times

 

[HB2Havasu]

While Jimmy Carter 2.0 is still in office the stock market could go back to Obama Day prices of 12K-15K. I’ve been telling my friends for the last year to get out of the stock market. There is no true bottom when the Socialists who are now in power are calling the shots. They want the markets to crash so they can start their Great Reset! (Re: Communism)

I've only gotten in trouble when I held stocks overnight. Day Trading is the way to go. In and Out. However, right now I think holding SQQQ is the way to go.

What is SQQQ? Why is it bucking the market so hard?

Right? 8% inflation and my PM are sucking balls right now.

The only things I have that’s doing worth a shit right now are in my gun safe.

Happened a lot at the top of the Disneyland parking lots, we’ve been told by folks who worked there.

They called them Tinkerbells over the radio, to help prevent the public from hearing about them.

Disneyland is very good at hiding deaths on their properties.

Buying opportunities

Curious why that would be the trigger?

 

[Havasu blue label]

Yes sir buying time

 

[shintoooo]

Just a support level. Could bounce back a little but will go down more after that level is broken which it was today.

 

[pronstar]

I think there’s going to be some Bitcoin opportunities as long as it keeps tracking with the nasdaq…tech stocks are getting hit hard and it’ll continue.
