There is always a crisis somewhere.

Patiently waiting for the Cesium crisis...

got out of everything and put in money mkt...waiting for the S&P to hit 6100 to get back in.

I'd take quite the bath if I did that right now. MU is still predicted to come back and top $500. I'll just have to hold for a while, should probably buy more if it dips below $300.

What if it doesnt?

then i will get back in at some other point. We went past the 100 SMA in April of last year on the S&P. I think it could even go lower but that is my reentry target unless something changes.

Although I’m not out of everything I sold the bulk of my S&P etf near the top. Looking to get back in at the same level you’re looking at.

Someone here mentioned ICU awhile back. Took a big jump on some good news today. I’m long on it and the jump really helps.

Long on it as well. It’s had a nice little run recently but I’m still in the red.

Stop Loss: I never new about the term until I began reading here. Having had my ass handed to me and lost thousands during COVID....I decided to set a Stop Loss last week.

Looks like I "accidentally" sold stock. Been in the game with my own personal portfolio since 2020 and until today never sold one.

Cashed out all my Cloudflare at $200. Was in at $118ish.

Stupid?

Now what do I do? Buy in someplace better and roll it over? Hold back 22%ish for taxes?

I regret bringing this one up.

My son has no particularly good insights into this and after researching a couple sites including @BBob's article I forwarded to him he dumped it.

In fact, it appears to be an overhyped pump and dump.

Market wise, even if the war ended tomorrow, I don't see how we can't have a rough road economy wise worldwide for the next 6 months or more. Now will the markets see past that- I dunno.

I think things look good for stocks like NVDA that is growing 100% a year and is valued less than the avg S&P company. The AI trade is taking it on the chin...but at some point it will earn its way out of the dog house.

Overall it doesn't appear to be smooth sailing going forward in a lot of industries. I'm not selling anything in my taxable accounts due to the tax hit- not worth it.

To add a couple of cents to this:

As previously mentioned the S&P also lost the 200 ma's (shaded ovals) recently. If they don't regain it in short order (not looking likely) it could be a signal that we are losing the bull market and headed to a bear market. I'd agree that the $6100 line is certainly one to watch for.

“Overhyped pump and dump”…you are probably correct.

Haven’t heard that phrase in a while. Good luck and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
