All things STOCKS

[kiddiedoc]

Meta earnings beat. Shares are up 10% after hours.

About time. I've been betting on a breakout for a minute.

The SEC kind of reminds me of SEC basketball referees. I don’t know why the Garcia’s are permitted to do these shady transactions and weak reporting.

Another good day today. Im trying something new for myself just to see how things go. Im not looking for a get rich quick scheme just something long and slow to see what happens.

I have positions in VTI, VOO, KO, FDVV, FBCG..... I've got a daily recurring investment going into each of them.

Today I picked up SCHD and started a daily with them.

I plan on running the daily through the end of March then turning them off and seeing where the accounts go.

Buy and hold is the best strategy for us regular people especially if you have the stomach for big pullbacks by staying invested and not selling.

However, you may want to cut back on some of those funds as you have a lot of overlap. VOO is S&P 500 while VTI is S&P 500 plus mid caps and small caps. I use VTI for this area. You could sell VOO and buy VXUS for international and emerging markets exposure. Also there’s probably additional U.S. overlap from FBCG.

Oil is trading like something is about to happen in Iran.

WAR, what is it good for? LMT, It's about the only stock I own that is up this morning.

The 4 autonomous stocks I’ve had an eye on are getting pounded. AVAV. KTOS. ONDS. KITT. 5%. 4%. 8%. 12%.

International, emerging markets, Nasdaq and PMs getting clobbered today. With a weak dollar and waning confidence in our bonds, I think 2026 is looking like it’s setting up to be pretty bumpy.

Compared to when? The DXY is at the same level today it was at in 2022, 2015-16, 2003, 1998, 1997, 1993, 1991, 1989, 1987, 1981, 1977, and 1973.

Somebody is raising some cash. Basically everything with the exception of energy got hammered, and even it is off the highs.

Blood bath today

I can hardly see that chart. It’s down 11% in the past year. Down 2% YTD. There’s been a noticeable uptick in other countries selling US debt in a move away from the dollar and concerns over our rapidly mounting debt certainly have a further weakening effect on the USD. Sure, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, but Fundamentals just look more ominous going forward.

 

[Vol737]

Starting to recover a little bit. So, we’ll see.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Looks ugly today but the all time high for the S&P was just a few days ago. Microsoft is dragging the indices around today.

You're buying the same things again just in different ETF's. Go to a sight called etf research center, etfrc.com, to see the overlap. It's free and safe to see the top holdings and percentages of overlap.

Port is only down 1% on the day so far.

Possible partial gov shutdown looming, MSFT poopin' the bed.

 

[@1RBFjr]

Bought more MSFT this morning. I recognize things might get bumpy, but it’s a long term hold, and it’s still a good company.

Click the chart to make it bigger. It's down 11% over the last year...and is unchanged since any of those other years I listed.

 

[05_never_again]

I do have to say though...crypto has been dunked on numerous times in its relatively short history and it's come back every time. There's definitely something to it, but not for the reasons popularly ascribed to it.

 

[@1RBFjr]

What do you think the bottom is

I don’t know. It could be a rough for some time, but it’s predicting the future so I could be totally wrong. Both Morningstar and Wells Fargo have it valued at more than the current price, but they too could be wrong.

I also look at history some and hope it bounces back.

Long game anyway. I think it’s a good buy. I may sell some Meta today at some point.

I don’t know much about the cycles but I believe this year was supposed to be a “crypto winter” right? Not sure why it happens though.
