Stock Market is the bottom in?

[hunts_with_stick]

Yeah I was listening to beck yesterday and he commented on how a former shoe company turned into an ai company and the stock skyrocketed. I took that as a sign too and dumped some ai type stocks/funds and took the gains I had made.

I think tough times are close. Private debt issuers are quietly imploding. Trouble is that toxic crap is held by banks, insurance companies, and private equity, so there will be a financials crash when it’s no longer avoidable. Who it hits and how hard is yet to be seen. I’ve got my fingers crossed the regulators have kept an eye on insurance companies that have that junk on their books.

I’d be weary of any outfit holding markers on the poor. They’re behind on their payments and that situation is quietly getting worse. Hell, I see Fox News is now running commercials selling private debt investment opportunities. That’s how you know the end for that ruse is close.

Surprised it has taken this long. I still think irrational exuberance will push the indexes to new highs but it is going to get hairy after that. If only we knew when!

Hanging on to amzn, I was buying all the way down to 200. Keeping it for the long term I think.

Same. Kicking myself for not getting more. It's 5% of my portfolio, and I was trying to get it to 20%. Oh well.

Time to get on board.

Sold. I'll buy some on Monday. Got a ticker symbol?

I have that one too. Another somewhat similar is FSELX

On 4/2/24 I bought $55k in FSELX haven't traded it since, through reinvested dividends and market growth, its worth $121k in just over 2 years. That's 119% compared to the Nasdaq at 50.6% during the same period.

Great call, thank you!

I bought 500 shares of Ichor Holdings back in August at $15.85 cause Debbie Wasserman Schultz bought it. Like a pansy I bailed on it a little over $17/ share cause I thought the market would go down as the Fed cut interest rates. Left a nice chunk of change on the table.... Idiot. Looks like that snake is having a good day on her ICHR shares.

ICHR up 255% since purchase on 8/8/25

How does Debbie WS continue to do it? She's a savant!
