Seeing the stocks green on one day and saying anything about uncertainty is about as disingenuous as saying there can’t be global warming because im holding a snowball

The caption changed the way i saw the expression. At first i saw attacking bear. Then i saw a concerned friend with his arms out trying to deescalate the situation

If you have morals and standards, its not hard to take a stance on every issue. If you support education, it doesnt take much looking into anything about education to understand how decisions fit into your worldview. And even if you support some aspects of one side and some from the other, you still have to pick a side because welcome to Americas 2 party system.

My experience with many users on lemmy who support “critical thinking” are not actually advocating critical thinking. Theyre trying to justify their mental gymnastics while simultaneously feeding their self-righteous egos

He wants everyone to know that he did it

From Trump University?

There are mathmatical definitions. Like our current correction happened when we were 10% below peak. Thats what i mean by calling them technical terms

Sure, but you see tesla going up on bad news, its not difficult to anticipate its going to come right back down. Im not telling people to throw money away, obviously you need to be educated. Last year i turned 7k into 35k. Took it all out except 700 and am already back to 6k.

Ive been doing this for about 14 years. I have experience and knowledge that someone starting out doesnt. That wasnt my point. My point is, it doesnt take much money to get started.

when we hit recovery or bull market

Those are technical terms. Thats when i recommend buying back in.

In addition to the target date funds, there are some very basic funds through every broker. Some big ones like SPX and QQQ track directly with the s&p and NASDAQ. Every etf will have a theme (tech, biotech, industrial, energy, etc.) And should have a short description on them. Find something that fits your fancy if you have an industry you really believe in

We have a lot of the same points, but what im trying to drive home is that, “buy low, sell high,” doesnt mean, “buy the lowest, sell the peak.” Markets in correction right now, its generally trending down. Potentially will turn bear market. You dont need to follow daily to know that. Now is as good a time to sell as last week, or the peak. You didnt miss it.

When it goes down more, you dont need to see the bottom. You can wait until it hits recovery or bull market even, and buy back. That point will likely be lower than where you sold even if its not the lowest. You dont need to buy the bottom, but buying lower than you sold is a win.

I turned $70 into $2k in the last 2 days. It doesnt take much to get started

Most people arent playing the market daily. Especially in something like a 401k. You dont need to time the bottom. We’re already in a correction, and its still going. You can wait until the market recovers, and as long as you buy back at a price lower than what you sold, call it a win.

Dont chase, “what could have been” because youll always feel like you lost

this isnt a slump yet

Technically we are in correction territory, so id say we are a slump. This isnt the bottom though. Get some puts and ride this baby all the way down. I hit 10x on tesla puts that i bought yesterday. This markets dumb and with the volatility this high, everyone should be making money if they sell when they are green and done diamond hand it

To freeze your credit means that you (or anyone inpersonating you) can do anything that requires your credit. Cant make large purchase, take out loans, etc. Its a good way to protect yourself from identity theft.

To unfreeze it, you need to go through a process with the credit union before you can use it again. Its generally a good practice to freeze your credit always if you can plan ahead for large financial purchase

While i know nothing about military intelligence Security Classification Guides,i know a thing about some others. The general idea is, even at a Confidential Classification, release of the information/data could reasonable cause damage to the USA/national security/etc. The different levels of classification (confidential, secret, top secret) only vary based on the severity of the damage cause to the united states.

Everything in me tells me this operation was classified and we’re lucky that it only leaked to 1 person in the US while it was still time sensitive. Also, these things dont immediately unclassify as soon as their done. They security guide holds them classified for a certain period of time after the event. So dont be surprised when they come after the Editor for leaking classified information

Unlike that missile in Yemen! Amirite?

^Too ^soon?

But the comments do matter?

The stock market traded on speculation of future value, not current value. If tesla increases profit by $1M , their market cap doesnt increase by $1M. It increases or decreases by the speculative future value.

If protestors are going to be prosecuted, the perceived value of the company increases because theyre will be less negative press.

It also leads to, "what else is the president going to do to help musk’s company? " and that list is endless, and speculation runs wild.

Maybe he’s only had 1 wife, so being the hottest wife means nothing. There were (presumably) other girlfriends. Man knew what he was saying

The tolerancing on this thing must be a nightmare. My engineering brain is upset

There are protests happening all the time. Problem is they also control the media so no one knows
