Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

[booyaka]

People were too busy selling out to cash. Now 4 weeks later this thread is back being full of the world's best traders

always is - as I said before - unreal the amount of people who time the market better than any professional....

Who bought the 1% SPX dip? We will finish green today

 

[413x]

Took some profit on zim as its up 55 percent since I bought on 11th of April.

Most stuff is down a bit on the snp downgrade

 

[lookitsjonno]

Seems wall street has shrugged off the Moody's downgrade, people buying the dip

My VEUA ETF is doing the heavy lifting again.. back in the green but VWRP took a hit.

I guess VEUA bounced back due to the uk/EU deal announced today.

I was about £300 down this morning but now only about £70 down.

because Bunds and JGB's term premia is still 30/40 bps higher than UST's. Still the cleanest shirt in the laundry

I bought in hard premarket. Looked the credit downgrade was going to be ignored and up nicely.

UNH looked massively oversold so making some decent gains there.

Risqué punt on 100 shares of NFE last night @2.49$, wish me luck.

Cashed out today for +30% in just 2 trading days, well pleased with that.

bought the dip when LSE opened this morning
forgot to buy the dip when NYSE opened (and i was busy at the time too...so totally slipped my mind). bummer

still 6.1% down from my feb ATH, but we're slowly getting there...

You don't need pies or any of that. Just buy an all world etf.

If you're just going to do one thing then I'd recommend an S&P500 etf. An all world etf is more of a hedge but it's not something you should have the majority of your funds in.

There is a strong argument that America isn't going to allow the world to dump all its savings in the sp500 anymore.

Meh, other funds exist... a lot of all world funds if you look at the weighting of the top 10 shares aren't too dissimilar to the S&P500 anyway but you get a lot more diversity as your not 100% invested in the USA.
Maybe the wins won't be as big but neither will the dips be.

I wonder how the people feel now who said the market was going to implode, the US was done for and went to cash or de risked (lol)

tariffs could rock some stocks when the earning cycle catches up

I disagree.

Actually, an all world makes more sense for most people than an S&P500 ETF. In fact given the market cap weighting in an all world ETF then there are many arguments to further diversify with EX-US ETFs

If I'd followed this advice starting 10 years ago, I'd have much less than I actually do have now.
I'm selling off the things that haven't performed, holding cash and putting it in to the things that have whenever there's a dip, like just recently.

If you put all your money into Nvidia you would be even better off but without a time machine historical performance is irrelevant

Those weightings would change over time as the fund cost goes up

I'm saying that you could see some outperformance from the rest of the world, after 30 years of everybody saying this time it'll happen. It could actually be if America puts on capital controls via taxes on foreign holdings. It's still developing obvs, need to see what happens. We're not there yet. And atm America is the only game in town.

Using that logic go back and find the stock that has performed best over the last 10 years and put your entire portfolio into it.

If you're going to completely ignore history and fundamentals then you may as well pick based on rolling dice.

I shouldn't have to go through the reasons why putting the bulk of you're shareholding in a single company (unless you're involved with said company) is not generally recommended.
