Dow?

Loosing 8 % of buying power to 80 % of crash in the stonks is not a bad idea. Look out below. The beating will continue until the FED see a little less inflation. More like 7.9% and they will declare victory.
 
The FED hands are handcuffs. Even if they want to slow down the hike, they can?t at the 8.6 CPI prints. What they should have done and should do now is go fast and hard. Let it burn and let the recovery take over sooner when we at the bottom rather than these drag out, slow ass pain -> more pain -> greater pains and have the economy still very sick at the slow pace.


Why are tax payers pay for these idiots at the FED helms. The mistakes was they are late last year. Last year is the hold out mistakes. So this year is the double mistakes. Gas will hit 10 dollars at this pace.
 
I will re-post this...

Trump Predicts What Will Happen to Gas Prices, And It Sounds Horrifying...October 31, 2021

?Gas prices are going up at a far more rapid rate than anybody?s seen in a long time. We had gas prices very low, and yet we had more energy jobs than we?ve ever had,? said Trump, speaking at a time when the average price of gas was $2.879 per gallon.

?[T]hey will be going up by $1, $2, $3, if you look at that, and it?s bigger than a tax increase to the consumer,? he said

Recessions is a chance to clear out dead woods.

Trump force the FED to stop raising rate and called Powell enemy of the American people and threat to fire him for doing the right thing.

J Powell got bullied by Trump.

If you know economic, then you should not be cheering for his actions. Trump was elected with on the promise of reduce trade deficit and trade war started under him to put higher cost to the American people. In the end none of the elected do any good. Orange man not any better.

Here we are in another cycle, don?t blame anyone. Just have to front run and be slightly ahead of the cycle.

5 Red Flags for Robinhood Markets' Future

Robinhood Markets' (HOOD -5.89%) stock dipped 3% on April 29 after the online brokerage posted its first quarter numbers. Its revenue plunged 43% year over year to $299 million, which missed analysts' estimates by $59 million. Its net loss narrowed from $1.4 billion to $392 million, or $0.45 per share, but still missed analysts' expectations by a dime.

Robinhood's numbers were ugly, but some investors might be wondering if its stock has finally bottomed out after plunging nearly 75% below its IPO price. Unfortunately, five red flags suggest the pain is far from over.

Wonder if 6/17 was the bottom?

Lots of stocks look really nice with a rounded bottom but market was here and 7 days later we were at the recent bottom.

Took my profits today in my dexcom trade. It's really pretty expensive and I don't want to get caught in a sell the news on tandem and podd/ or general market pull back. Could suddenly find itself in the 60's in a couple weeks or even sooner and I just didn't want to see a great gain evaporate. If it runs higher without me, oops.

A profit is a profit. Can?t look back hindsight and regret the decision you made before. The profit you have now can be reinvested in something else. Opportunity cost is something to factor in as well.

I bought a some AMD April 2023 $120 calls back in January when it was around $130. It tanked since and I've adding a crap load more to average down to $8.7 average. It finally recovered to the point I was making money on Monday. Set to sell at $9.3, but it would trigger. I mean, I set all or nothing on 200 calls, so... ;D Anyway, I was lucky that AMD made another run yesterday before earnings, and I got out at $10. Earned an extra $14k because it didn't trigger on Monday.  ;D
 
So I was looking at charts again, thinking if the market tanks in a hurry, it wouldn't be hard for a lot of stocks to hit their 52 week lows pretty quickly and it could set up a sideways trading range. LOTS of money to be made on that. You know right where to buy and right where to sell.

My daughter stopped by today. Says all the other teachers say "when" the recession comes next year...... and she adds her hubby says we can't spend money till after "the recession comes and is over next year". So.......... self fullfilling prophecy there. Press has pounded it in her head and everyone she knows there is a recession coming and of course someone in that age group remembers the last one quite well.

So.................. with that mentality, people are going to refrain from buying houses (good for me......... pools are way too expensive here now. I need to get all the landscapers making competitive bids). If you've got cash (or see rates low), pick up some properties when they drop like liar loan claims they will and sell them to the main stream media followers.... that's how it always works. The rich guys and wall street always win.

 
I have always thought that recessions are somewhat self fulfilling prophecies as well. Like you said, the headlines put in everyone?s head and before you know it companies slow hiring and cut spending and/or do layoffs and that validates the consumers view that a recession is coming and then low and behold we are in a recession.

My daughter is NOT getting laid off and neither is her hubby. They can't even find enough certified teachers so they had to allow teachers going to school to be hired. Still...... she had my other two daughters are absolutely positive a recession is coming and they have to not spend NOW because of it. They graduated from college right after the last recession.

Going to keep my eye on Nkla. Even though I was warned by black knight they are a scam company (they got rid of the problem person long ago). Just delivered 48 semi EVs this quarter. They were constrained on getting more out because of a battery supply issue. On a pull back, I might buy this one as a longer term play.
 
Well at least they can laugh.... ;D ;D >:D

I am still standing by my Dow 27k plan. I will jump in when it reaches that level. Last 2 or 3 month jump was a pump and dump by institutional investors. There was really no reason a 3k bump like that.
