That really is a staggering chart. Buying the day the VIX closes above 50, even in the midst of the worst financial crisis in 80 years and a pandemic that hadn't been seen in 100 years, has yielded positive results 1 year later 100% of the time since 1990. And in a lot of those cases, huge positive results.

WB told me to read chapters 8 and 20 of the Intelligent Investor for times like these.

Got it on audiobooks with Spotify Premium.

Blink

NVDA. INTC. AAPL. PLTR. SMCI. All with 10-13% get backs today.

90 day pause for everyone, except for China 125% for them.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

BND and RKT are my only losers today.

I’m tempted to trade the BND for ASML.

pausing his tariffs scheme for 90 days on all trading partners who have not retaliated against the U.S. Which countries are included, who knows.

Nit yet. ASML is up 12%.

IF I WAS A TRADER… would buy puts now and expect to sell them tomorrow. But every day is wild and unpredictable. However I do think the big positive days are consistently being followed by a big negative day or 2 while big negative days are usually followed by a couple more big negative days.

Weeeeee!!

I think the market is going to give people a chance to buy again at or near the lows from Monday/Tuesday. Maybe not tomorrow or this week but at some point.

There is still a 125% levy on China, a 10% baseline tariff across the board, and it's just a 90-day pause. A lot can still happen. The yield on the 10-year is still behaving curiously too.

Stairs going up, elevator when going down. Lots of time for those that hold for the LT. We might not be close to the lows in 2025. I don’t think we see ATHs until 2026.

Another thing out there that could ignite equity markets. Wait until BRK does something with their huge pile of cash.

I think bonds forced Trump's hand.

Indeed. It was 4.45 this AM and is now at 4.34. I think I'm hitting the exit ramp at close. I don't trust this break to the upside.

I think it'd be nuts to not take profits on any kind of short-term trade here.

Oh happy day
Bought NVDA at 87, up 32%
I think people have a profit in a stock, panic and sell so the "don't lose it all".
My wife would have rathered me sell yesterday so we wouldn't lose it all.

Shorted puts:
NVDA - $101.50
SMCI - $27/$28
OXY - $43.50
HOOD - $31.0

I haven’t checked the math yet today.

Long term hold for me. I'm both too old and too lazy to do otherwise.
I did own stock in a community bank for 27 years. I sold it recently because it was 25% of our net worth.
Felt like it was too much in one investment. Afraid of a repeat of the great recession.

 

[Velo Vol]

Nothing to see here.

 

[mrorange211]

Nothing to see here.

It's inevitable and I'm convinced cannot be stopped.

Fairly quiet futures/after hours session. NASDAQ off about 1.3%. S&P -0.65. DJIA -0.21%.
