65% is mostly cash, some bonds that I bought in March 2020 when yields were briefly worthwhile. why am I nervous? FOMO

BB thanks it does help. curious, you said you used to. Why did you stop?

I don’t know the players here yet, so I’ll roll with the punches

Lol. Thanks. I think. I’m actually a moderator on another forum…fir financial advisors. We don’t moderate very much there. So I get it. ;-)

Well, I guess I’m not doing to well here at ET.

And what do you use to scan? NOOB QUESTIONS, I I KNOW, DONT BEAT THE SHIT OUT IF ME. something I’m struggling with. Should I have a “universe of 500 stocks that I use as a place to find ideas? What should I be screening for to find good ideas? What platform should I use to scan/screen for...

Yeah, I know it can get worse. Always. The market can do anything. I’m not trying to do anything stupid, like call a bottom. it’s what we don’t know that can hurt us though, not what we already know. yeah the only piece of the market that looks good right now, is energy. I’m just rambling...

I’ve read, in a million places, and I’ve read, from a million people smarter than me, that “price pays” and it’s the only thing that matters. And don’t go long against the trend. And other stuff like that. but does anyone think what I think? It seems to me, that this is our current situation…...

Nah, it’s not really a business, even though I try to treat it that way. I’m retired and just learning, trading my own money

Methinks they will retaliate. In many ways. Not just investments.

1. where did I say I was shorting it? I’m long the stock at $110. 2. How do you know that problem #3 will materialize, Nostradamus? 3. Problem #1 point well taken. But if this market REALLY gets hit, WHICH HASNT REALLY HAPPENED YET, it will take all equities down with it 4. What is it about the...

no peace talks. No changes fundamentally. Just a good old fashioned bounce. Energy was overbought, the rest of the market was oversold.

The source of the whistleblower article, DCCLOTHESLINE.COM, is a joke of a publication. Read the titles of some of their articles. Pathetic.

I am realizing my big issue, or at least one of them, is that i have a hard time selling into strength, and buying into weakness. Right now i am not beating myself up for not buying into weakness, because that would be counter to the trend, which i am not interested in. But i should be able to...

Sold it $2996 a few weeks ago, was feeling real smart this afternoon when it was down over 250 points off my sell price. Oh well.... At the end of the day we are in a downtrending market, probably a downtrending economy, and the split changes nothing fundamentally, so while i might have to sit...

Just when I thought it was time to sell $CVX off of a parabolic rise, it goes up another $8

@Wang, the point being made here is, don’t expect to be able to know when the bottom is. Wait until the Markets stabilize and then starts to rise, then buy. You won’t be able to buy the bottom.

If you are a believer in technical analysis, then Price is confirmation, no?

Market can’t even seem to hold a small pre market gain this morning. Going lower IMO
