[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people saying the market crash is coming sold out of their equities in April and are trying to justify their idiotic decisions. You can’t time the market. You aren’t smart enough. Neither am I. [/quote]

I actually stopped investing when Trump won and stacked up cash, and used that to buy in in April (managed to hit the day before the very bottom, which is timed enough for me).  I haven't bought outside of retirement accounts since, and am piling up cash again (including dividends) so that I can buy in again when this bubble bursts.

But you keep DCA'ing into this meltup.  Whatever makes you feel safe is probably the right investment strategy.[/quote]

What an amazing coincidence, eh? Timing it so perfectly and having the confidence to jump back into the sharply dropping market after big scary man made his big scary announcement. Forgive me for being a bit skeptical.

It was good timing and prudent. At least he is free minded enough to step outside the cult and see the economic harm being done. Can’t say the same for you. But yeah don’t hedge at all. Everything is great. Jobs are great. Farmers are happy and definitely not all about to get bailouts. Everything is fking great. Gold going up 590% this year is not a sign of instability at all.[/quote]

People can say anything they want online to fit their narrative, so what you accuse others of doing easily applies to you.

I am dubious at many of the claims, in part most people have little appetite or lack the nerves to actually gamble with their money. Best is to stick with the market and ride it out. [/quote]

Okay, guess we’ll see who comes out ahead. I’m pretty sure I can see what’s coming and it’s not great. I’m going to move my 401k from 80% intenational stocks and 20% domestic into gold and bonds in a few months to be defensive. When the crash comes I will buy more mutual funds like VFIAX.

My taxable account is mostly gold miners and spot gold ETFs at this point. I’m holding for at least another 6 months. I have tech stocks ETFs in there too. Many are leveraged. I’m holding those for a couple more months. But with the gold I should be well positioned to sell that for stocks when they drop drastically in value.

I predict that will happen within two years. I don’t have a date for you. No one does. But clearly inflation is bad and so are THE REAL job numbers. Gold has been skyrocketing. Wall Street is now relying on alternate data sets (read the Wall Street journal article on that) to supplement traditional sources of info.

After all the coming rate cuts and the QE the outlook is pretty shtty.

Hope you won’t need your retirement money in the next 5 years because it will be half or less of what you invested.[/quote]

I think it's probably 3 years since Trump is willing to go full blown socialism when he wants. I doubt he only relies on rate cuts and QE. [/quote]

A lot will depend on the result of the midterms.  They're already going full on with a command economy.[/quote]

See this is the political nonsense.  This is not a command economy and does not even come close.  [/quote]
