I really wish I didn't check the market everyday... I wish I lived in true bliss where I only opened quarterly statements.
What's stopping you? Why bother checking when we all already know the top is in.
I cashed out for beanie babies. The top is not in for me ;)
Buying the dip, eh?

S&P 500 is down -2.8% from the top on 12/6.
Nasdaq is down -2% in the same timeframe.

We could easily see a correction (drop of at least -10%) because people are figuring out there might not be any rate cuts in 2025. The US economy created 256k jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Initial claims were only 201k for the week ending Jan 4. Commodities are rising again, and economic activity could be overheating.

All signs suggest the January 15 CPI release will be as bad or worse than December's +0.3%.

Face the facts, top deniers. The TOP IS IN.

Market went down just in time for the 401(k) purchase to be executed. I will take it!

The bottom is an illusion. They will just print more money, and it will eventually go up and right. That money may just be worth nothing.

You mean - at the bottom, it will be a soft landing?

The bottom is the entire economy exploding and going back to the barter system.

Confusing times for a UK investor with the pound sterling racing the S&P500 to the bottom.  Arbitrage top is in.  Or out. #DIV/0!

Don't worry, the barter system isn't real either.

On Craigslist it's just people wanting to trade broken down cars for running ATVs. Barter bottom is in.

Where I’m at, it’s non-stop people looking to trade broken down ATVs (or motorbikes or lawnmowers) for my running car :/

So close to an arbitrage opportunity, but not quite.

That's the Sterling-put for ya! Any time stocks tumble, your NW doesn't fall in local currency terms because they fall in tandem, all too familiar for me a lil bit to the East from you.

The landing will be whatever you want it to be ;)
Maybe the real landing is the friends we made along the way (damn I knew I should've made some)!

Wait - are we landing on our friends? This seems dangerous.

It's okay as long as everyone lands on their bottoms.

J Pow basically controls the market. The FED has all the power in the world. I will just keep buying and buying and buying. Check back in 10 years.

You wouldn't be implying that Powell (or anyone for that matter) knows more than @thorstach would you?

Thorstach is jpow confirmed
