The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[Marshfly]

The market overall trends up. As long as you have a long enough timeline and the companies you invest in don't go bankrupt, you likely will make money. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time.

The market trends up because of a few great companies. A ton of companies (all of these penny stocks) are dogs.

Printing is going to pump everything for a while, then inflation or worse stagflation. Cycle repeats.

The question is, do we see more cuts coming before the end of the year? Maybe another 50 points in total?

I would highly doubt we see another 50 points in cuts before 2025. Would be nice in ways but I doubt it.

I just need 3% mortgage rates so I can refinance. I am going to miss making 5 plus percent in HYSA and Tbills though. That was easy money.

Yeah, what to do?

Market is at all time highs and a 50% haircut is not out of the question. But you have to be in equities long term to protect yourself from the debt tsunami you know is coming.

Conversely, if you hold in cash to protect from a market crash, you lose 5 to 7% a year to inflation.

Anyone jumping into REITs?

I’ve taken a beating on NYMT and I think that we are still in for a market correction. I own NYMT in my Roth so it is a long term hold but I think it will drop further before going back up.

Or stop trading junk. Penny stocks are cheap for a reason.

I'm just not knowledgeable enough so I'm gonna stick with what I have in and keep pumping up my 401k. I took a chance and it backfired. Lesson learned

No, but I have held the following for many years with good results ( ~1% Monthly dividends)

Psec
Phk
Ead

I bought into MPW that I posted about a few months back. Long term hold for me. If they can get back to their stock price and dividend they had a couple years ago, I will make more a year in dividends than my initial investment.

Most of DOLE 's USA imports come through east coast and gulf ports.

Many companies affected by the port strike will have their inventories depleted followed by pent up demand that will be satisfied after supply chains resume.

Fresh produce will incur losses. If the strike goes on for a week or more, DOLE should drop into an attractive price point for a long recovery gain.

That sounds like something right out of the Dumb Money playbook. (Look it up. It's a compliment.)

Great arbitrage idea. I like it. Even better to sweeten the pot would be to go long puts a month out to capitalize on that drop.

I'll have to take your word for it. All that's coming up is stuff about the wallstreetbets movie.

I don't do options. Just like to use black swan events to get attractive entry prices in good companies.

If I had to guess that would be the total stock market return per year since 2010. A total stock market or S&P index will give you almost the same return with an expense ratio of usually less than 0.1%.

@bridgerbenson - that is the annual returns for VTI.

Then you must easily have a multimillion net worth?

 

[Beendare]

I smoked you Maverick.....the Vanguard Tech ETF- VGT it averaged about 19% per year for the last decade. Thats doubling your money every 4 years....run the numbers.

The young guys Dollar cost averaging into that as part of their investment strategy for the next 20 years will thank me.
