But she’s all over the media including the financial publications, but that’s coming to an end as you can see finally people are actually posting her track record
I love the words when they say stock price could be $2000. Well, guess what I could win the lottery too.!!! 😜

Just shows never to follow a fad or an influencer.


"The ARKK ETF destroyed $7.1 billion in wealth, while its healthcare-focused ARK Genomic ETF destroyed $4.2 billion in wealth, according to Morningstar."

"The ARKK ETF has generated a total positive return of 121.8% since its inception in 2014, which is less than half the Nasdaq 100's gain of 329.5% over the same time period. Meanwhile, the ARKK ETF is still down 71% from its record high."

Yes, this has amazed me since around 2008
I knew once those floodgates were open they would never close and only multiply

It truly makes me sick, watching the greatest country on earth fall into a bottomless pit of debt.
However, as much as I hate it, there’s nothing I could do about it, I’m just one vote.
Obviously, the American public feels differently or is just plain out to lunch
 
I doubled both my VXX and SSO position (pair). Plan is to dump one or the other if we get a breakout. Looks like we might make it to 5000. If so, then I am guessing it goes that way. Still pretty nervous until were through earnings, especially before Feb 21.
 
Dont fight the market stood true the last couple weeks. Now I am dying to jump into something, cash on the side except for WMT. Almost bought a boatload more WMT late yesterday and some GM but got chicken. Hard to pay 80%+ more for WMT then when I bought it some years back and GM, I think it will test its high but not sure if that will be soon or next fall. Started looking at big tech, but man, it's hard after this run up.

You are a young guy. Stay patient

I’m buying good debt on sale days. Very small chunks at a time. Naturally this limits my upside.

Frightful to this old codger is that this continues with all administrations in office, regardless of rhetoric (no politics here). The truth is painful.

I'm not playing the stock market, but I am actively meeting with my TIAA and other advisors (do this, young ones) to adjust my near-retirement conservative portfolios and allocations, attempting maximize my tax advantages at this stage. The Social Security time-to-start decision is tough: 8% annual growth vs. long break even point if start "now".

Things to discuss in a different thread. Carry on boys and girls - I learn from watching your game playing.

At my age now, I look to preserve and grow my investments, though some might consider them not conservative that is only one account that I go big in at most 3 companies at a time.
Well, I did the same at age 62, went conservative and took Social Security the first month I could at 62. Im not gambling that I will live to 80 or 90 years old to break even. 80 is the min if I spent the money as it came in. 90 is the min if I simply take that SS check and put it in a conservative interest bearing account and left it for my kids. Not only that, but my spending years are now should I want to spend it vs 80+ when I will be doing less.
I think it makes sense if you think about it. Throw away five years of SS income because you THINK you may live to 80 +++

So, today, anyone got any good ideas as far as strong companies that will continue to climb even in a down market?
Im pulling my hair out deciding is I will buy more WMT and get back into GM and get into a tech company like Nvidia (though we know Nvidia will get trashed in a downturn) ... right?
