I had it yesterday until the BS rumor pushed me to hit sell. Maybe the rumor was a good thing.

I still have enough stocks that I am participating nicely in this rally. About half cash. However I am not adding. I am researching preferred's. actually A stable 6% sounds good.

Not surprised at this BS rumor….
Like I mentioned before about the manipulation.

Have cash for buying opportunities.

40 years of unfair trade tariffs isn't going to be solved in 2 weeks . 25 years of giving taxpayers money to corrupt governments isn't going to solved in 2 weeks . Statements I would like to make about certain dirty scoundrels around the world I can't make here, will take more than 3.5 months .

Roth IRA and brokerage account at All Time Highs.

401K is 100% cash. I went to cash shortly after the new guy took office.

Have cash for buying opportunities.

I should have kept.

It took me a while to find the ticker "BS", but I loaded up on your advice!

I got lucky as a pig. I sold most of my longs and bought SQQQ during the run-up. I should have bought more SQQQ, but not complaining

I hope this investors thread stays open. I’ve learned a lot here.

Me too. I learned that I'm glad I have a top notch wealth advisor and they're worth ever penny I pay them. They provide results for me without speculation or political beliefs...but it's fun to watch what the self-appointed financial geniuses have to say here from day to day.

 

[Dave Hess]

Top notch wealth advisors are definitely worth every penny they get paid.

It’s very difficult to find one.

Piggies get slaughtered.

I have now seen three big names in money say 4000 is the bottom, if nothing else happens.

If it hits 4000, welcome to the Grapes of Wrath 2025.

Well no one always wins. No one.

Absolutely, and is a very important lesson not to be the lemming that follows a tiny data point over the cliff. I consider financial advice here the same way I do health advice.

So do you guys think Stalantis will have to reorganize? Obviously they will have to cut their dividend . When they do that it will crater more . Their unsold inventory is skyrocketing and they have barely cut production .

I would think many stocks will stop paying dividends after they tank. Boeing stopped paying dividends after they tanked from 2 crashes and CV19 back in 2020. Never started again.

Stellantis in the USA is in the unenviable spot of having almost no product other than pickup trucks. (Chrysler, Ram, Dodge). Jeep has priced itself out of the (niche) market that it created.
I’ve been a Mopar enthusiast for a long time, but the gutting started with Daimler, continued with Cerebus and Fiat, and now there is not much left. Sad state for what once upon a time was an excellent engineering company.

More snowballing predicted.

Not really. Start looking at the ones that require a minimum of $500K in investments...and they don't have to be the ones that advertise nationally either. There are excellent ones that are regional/ local depending on where you live.
