I mean I still feel we are just heading for a big economic recession because of all the factors I listed, but who knows. Who can even invest based on historic market fundamentals in this economic climate? It’s insane.

Market headed up even further today. You’re missing out.

Happy to sit this one out lol. The way the SP500 bounces up and down, it won't be long before it's down again ...

Maybe? Or maybe it will not get this low ever again. The point is no one knows except that it goes up over time. You’ve already missed out and your position keeps getting worse.

Skipped many pages, but the point still stands - if you're trying to day trade retirement accounts, you're in for a bad time. Just learn the lesson now and come up with an allocation you're comfortable with and put that on auto-pilot for at least 3-6 months before making any adjustments.

Are the G funders back in yet? How much did you lose?

I am one of them, haven't posted in this thread in a while but I got back in yesterday. The share price was actually lower than when I had previously sold, so I still came out ahead.

Perfect timing. The window where that scenario is plausible is incredibly small.

Yes, well I'm the PP who called for a bounce a few weeks ago on cue as well. I could have made a lot of money had I gotten in right then, but I was waiting to see how durable the bounce was going to be.

FFS, you're not "making money" or "losing money" it's all paper gains and if you continue to act like a degenerate gambler you will do worse over the long term. I hope you're super young and have little skin in the game.

I’m not fking leaving! I’m not fking leaving! Ha ha I’m still in G. I am still a bear. I am not convinced the conditions exist for a sustained bull market. This seems like an air pocket. There isn’t much volume. Job numbers will get revised down soon. Everything feels weird. It’s like a short squeeze for market makers and then stocks will drop. Then again algos seem to buy every dip. Im gonna wait until we see more downside and then buy C and I. I don’t get how folks are bullish with all that’s going on.

You just sound mad I correctly timed the market. I've done this many times now in 2020, 2022, 2025, 2026...it's fairly easy once you know what you're looking for.

Why are you posting on this forum when you could be making millions running a hedge fund?

For the observers in this train wreck of a thread, this would be the moment where we all point at OP and laugh.

To be fair, OP is just like most individual investors. The futility of market timing is a hard lesson to learn. OP, if you were not so pompous, you'd have a lot more sympathy. But maybe you think it's entertaining. Fact is, makes you look like a naif.

It’s the same guy that was going crazy about gold a few months ago.
