How about that stock market!

No matter the year, Panic Sellers = Dodo Birds/Slow Gazelles.

I find it amusing (at first, then sad ☹️ ) how many dummies out there with JACK SHIT for investments and no experience outside of their managed company 401Ks offer investing "advice" to the interwebs.

Obviously, the market will continue to seesaw long after we are all dead. Value in the long game is what matters. But that's not why our Leftist friends keep stinking up this thread, they are just trying to secure a daily fix of political points when the market is down, so they cheer for it to go down when their puppet isn't in the White House. Actual Value of political points = $0.00. 🤡


the panic sellers create opportunities. the 2-3% drops are great for small purchases. while I wait. I'm still waiting for a real crash to buy at deep discounts.

The US Dollar is stronger since President Trumps attack on Iran showing the Greenback is a safe haven asset.

This plus gold is going down too massively since the attack on Iran as well.


America is the worlds leader again and President Trump is Making America Great Again *_*

If you're leveraged and the market goes in a different direction, you can be faced with margin calls which require you to deposit additional funds or close positions.

In other words, if the leveraged asset moves in the wrong direction, you can suffer losses, and be required to repay the amount borrowed plus interest and fees.

So it's highly likely in a volatile market, to lose money with leverage and margin positions.

If you're just buying stocks, ETFs, funds, etc., you don't really lose until you sell at a loss; i.e., buy higher, sell lower = loss.

It's why I keep a cash reserve for down markets that I replenish in up markets. When the market is down, I'm not forced to sell at a loss. If you made investments in good solid companies, ETFs and funds, they have a high probability of coming back when the market improves. However, you need to resist the panic sell and ride the emotional roller coaster.

Everyone that's selling is locking in their losses, giving the rest of us a buying opportunity. It happens frequently, and it's great if you're in a position to take advantage of it.

FWIW, I have some high risk, high reward investments and they're not for those who panic sell or get emotional. As long as I don't sell at a loss, I haven't lost anything yet. The questions are, how low will they go, and will they survive; and if they survive, how long until they recover, or will they recover. It's why I keep these types of investments at a small percentage, less that 10%, of my overall investments. It can hurt, but not deadly.

I'm not telling anyone how or what to invest, but I recall Warren Buffett's position against leverage, stating it's not necessary. I looked it up because I forgot what he said:

“You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing.”

He also said, "I've seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage - leverage being borrowed money."
