More to go, close to bottom hopefully. The great investors make money when the market is going up or down as long as there is movement they are making money. We needed this correction, we need the fed to raise rates at least 3 more times and maybe more than .75 (I hate to say it because raising rates as needed will help destroy the market short term and a lot of folks are going to lose a lot of money). What we really need to grow our economy and regain our strength is to Vote these America Destroying fools out of office including all the RINO's.

Today was a nice day for long term investors but tomorrow looks like a blood bath for tech stocks because SNAP had horrible numbers and guided down. It's down 30% after hours :oops: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SNAP?p=SNAP

It's taking down FB, AMZN, GOOGL, and pretty much all the big tech companies are bleeding after hours.

What exactly is on the horizon that would motivate someone to buy?
Depends how far off over the Horizon.
I like this but it's a long ways off to calculate anything positive now. But also consider who, that is what other companies this will benefit?


Ford stock took a crap but I hold high hopes. Ford is doing all the right things so my friends and I bought low. Long hold. We like it.

People realize Biden's brain is living rent free in his melon and the WH may very well change to red-positive in 28 months.

Buy buy buy. DemoRATS are sneaky and will do everything in their power to have the market roaring come the next presidential election. It’s time to use their shadiness against them.

I appreciate you optimism, but I'll loving on my SQQQ all the way to the bank. I bought at $49.80 and sold a tad low at $62.50. I'm waiting for it to go back down to the $50 range so I can do it all over again.

There is no way I would stick in this market longer than a few days on any stock except a shorting type stock. Every week is another stock getting decimated by 30%.

1.6% was the market estimate. I’m not sure how the “Street Expectations” figures are constructed, but it’s a good question. They are usually close though.
Yea I saw that after looking it up. That seems insanely low to even pass the smell test.

So the goberment sends $40 billion in money borrowed to the Ukraine with a population 44M while Americans pay record high gas prices, face a border crises, a baby formula shortage and record high inflation 🤡🌎. All planned and staged.

So now a prediction of a housing market crash to follow. Maybe a correction in base price, but not a crash 🤔. But hey if the housing market crashes, it creates a great opportunity to purchase additional rental properties. Rent is Recession Proof and never goes down 😉. You will eat cake and be happy!

Powell is going to talk at 9:20am. Let's see how he will fuck up the market today. Every pop has sold off the same or next day. I don't expect anything different.

That's just because our politicians are heavily invested in Ukraine. Think about it, politicians get to invest and have the ability to use our money to insure their bets always win.

Pretty bad miss, economists and weathermen can be consistently wrong and get to keep their jobs.

There is now almost 6-months of new home supply under construction, we have surpassed the bubble peak of under construction for single family.

It will be interesting to see what happens when those hit the market, or are occupied by the owners that ordered them built.

My funds are available tomorrow. Right now I am looking at TSLA, APPLE, Google gold and crypto btc or eth.

Market likes to rally for one day and then more bad news triggers more selling off. I sure there will be some false bottoms. I have enough cash to buy several dips which I plan to do.

APPL I'm trying to figure out the entry point. High was about 180, @120 its a 33% decline. I think low 120s is around the bottom I think I'm okay buying in the mid 130s and buy a little more when it dips under 130

Best buy missed earnings and guided down and the stock is being held up by market makers to crush options IV. I don't think they are going to be able to hold it up for much longer. I bought puts for a week and two weeks out. I see best buy dipping below $70 here real soon.

I’ve never shorted before, is this how you do it?

Best Buy missed but it was a good miss? Thought that was a weird interpretation. I’ll stay away from that one

I bought a fridge from there 6 weeks ago. That was the first time I'd been to one in 15 years :)
Pull it away from the wall and vacuum out the coils every 6 months. Your compressor and bank account will thank you.
If you can't vacuum compressed air will work.

Dicks swung the other way and went green. It has a huge short interest and they are getting squeezed today. Should go back down next week.
I shorted @78 just playing around. I made gas money on a rdbx trade going up but they wouldn't let me short it figured I'd try to profit as it dropped back down. Etrade sent me a warning about being a day trader already and needing 25k in my account. picked up TSLA at 635 on open. apple @140. bought one of those physical gold stocks as a hedge
