Stock Market is the bottom in?

I put the exact same amount in the market this month I always put in. Next month will do the exact same. And the next.

If you’re in a diversified portfolio with the long term in mind then it really doesn’t matter if the markets go down 10, 20, 30 or even more. You still come out ahead over time. So that’s a good strategy. On the other hand if you’ve made huge gains in the market over the last few years and especially last year, then pulling back for 6-8 months to see what happens isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. For me, I’m taking a lot of profits off the table for a while. Needy never greedy. LOL. Except for a bio tech here and there. They seem to have potential to go to the moon. I put them in a ROTH just in case I picked right. LOL.

I don't understand why the chinese central bank doesn't just buy up all the bonds and make the bondholders whole? $300 billion dollars is nothing, even in china. The people want paper, give them all the paper they can handle. It works in America. The bigger problem may be what is causing Evergrande to fail.

The cat picked +25-40% for the year. We've been stuck at +19.5% in the S&P for a while. I don't think anyone factored in the government letting off the monetary gas pedal. I figured we'd hit at least an extra $7 trillion dollars in funny money for the year between fed buying and government deficit spending. They better get serious about whipping up some more money, or they're gonna have a mountain of worthless debt and flat tires on their hands by Valentines Day.

Good strategy! With larger dollar amounts however, timing matters. It could swing your total by many thousands.
 
Timing matters! Timing when to buy and when to sell. that's what it's all about. A stable economy would be great but we'll just have to wing for the next few years. Investment are all we have to rely on because we know social security is GONE, Yet they still keep taking it from my paycheck.

It depends if you are gambling or investing in the market. Most professionals don't get market timing right more often than they get it wrong. By investing the same amount on a regular basis over a very long period, you catch ups and downs and are investing in the overall long term rise of the market based on a growing economy over time.
 
That's why I do it myself---They just don't seem to care about my money as much as I do. They just put money in the "cookie cutter" portfolios and then hold. Yeah you make a little bit over time but I make a lot more watching my stocks on a regular basis. jmho

Win big and lose big. Few winners for many losers over time...
 
It's not for everyone that's for sure. I think a lot more people could do it but don't feel that they know enough about it. Strangely, investing is very manipulation based and the sheeple do get led off the cliff.
 
Most don't even know what they are invested in through their broker.
 
Guessing the guys with a broker probably don't want to see how their portfolios are performing today?
 
The unfortunate situation we're in is, there is no longer a risk free return. It used to be a person could hide out in CDs or bonds and keep pace with inflation. The risk free rate is -15% now thanks to inflation running wild. If I used a pro (I don't) I'd be having a long talk with that person about how to stay ahead of the erosion of the dollar.
 
I like buying shares on sale while the boob tube is telling everyone the sky is falling. They manipulate the market and share prices with their b.s. so everyone panics. Once a person is familiar with the tactics you are in a much better place to make a good/profitable play. Stock market is another thing they don't want people to know anything about. It is not a fair and level playing field. Wouldn't invest in anything from China----ever. Knowledge is power. Stimulus put a lot of money into the markets

What shares are on sale? Most stocks seem overpriced to me ?
 
Buying almost anything in the market today would be buying at a discount. Might be a bigger discount tomorrow. China stock market closed for 2 days and Wednesday is a big deal too(can't remember exact) due to the evergrande payments or something along those lines. Thursday should pick up again in the trading world. If it does or not is what people need to figure out. Blue chip stocks most likely bounce back with a vengeance. No one knows for sure but deciding for yourself where you put your money seems like the best bet to me. Disclaimer: I am an idiot so please don't take my ramblings as investing advice.
 
I prefer index funds with the set it a forget it mentality. I’m simply not smart enough to out guess what the market is going to do next nor am I that interested in trying to figure it out. I’m genuinely worried with the fool in the White House we could loose the Petrodollars oil reserve currency status that we have held since the 70’s. I would not wish to be sitting on top of large cash reserves when that rug gets jerked out of under us devaluation of our currency would be swift and brutal. Even the gold investors would look like rockstars if that happened.
 
I got some this morning at 14.47 and then a little more at 17.xxx for about 16.02 average. Should have fired every bullet I had. Oh well.

Didn't know anything about it. Looks like a few people are interested! Have to let it settle down and evaluate. Quadrupled first day!
