The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[Juan_ID]

I used to frequent this thread alot more at the beginning of the year then kinda forgot all about it, very interesting stuff to say the least. Cool to see roksliders doing well. I have a couple of the “investment apps” with very little $ in anything but am not 100% opposed to putting more in. If anyone has any tips or pointers I’m all ears, feel free to pm. With this being new to me it seems overwhelming.

Hypothetically if a guy had $5-10k sitting idle what should the first step be??

Well, given the below, I'd wait for a few weeks as this just might be the beginning of the bloodletting that is coming.

Open an account with one of the big platforms (Fidelity, Vanguard, Charles Schwab)
Decide what type of account is going to be best for you (Brokerage, Roth IRA, Trad IRA)

Then decide your risk tolerance and invest accordingly.

And to think it ended even worse in the last 5 mins of market open.

And looked at the VIX, Doh!

Fasten your seat belts boyles and goyles, it's going to be a bumpy rde.

This is why God invented dollar cost averaging.

Yep. KULR surged on two pieces of news, that they fixed the issues they had with being filed on the NYSE and that their battery tech is going to be included on a SpaceX launch next year. Then it dumped along with all markets when the Fed cut the interest rate, but with the cut they updated their consensus "dot-plot" that forecasts interest rates from their perspective, and that showed 2 cuts in 2025 instead of the market-expected 6 in 2025. So basically the Fed is saying they don't see rates coming down anywhere near as fast as the market had priced in, and the market is addicted to easy money, so that made everything sell off.

I hope it keeps going. Crash baby, crash. I want maximum fear, and then be greedy when others are fearful.
