yea I understood that when posting it, I believe you can also buy "stars"It's a scam. You can't really buy land on the Moon as who is there is issue a legal agreement or certificate etc? No one owns the land to be able to sell it
No one owns anything in space which they didn't put there themselves.
It was a joke... but anyone trying to sell stock based on mining the moon probably just as much as a grifter was my point.

Donald has to stop the Ukraine war by January So he can win his peace prize.
Hopefully doesn't decide to do that by trying to blow up Putin directly
Though maybe it will work. If they can get him by suprise his "friends" might think him instead of retaliate.

It’s a big earnings results week apparently, 89 of the S&P 500 are reporting, guessing people buying in anticipation.

what happened? did some one open the box to check the cat?
Crashes happen though, it should be part of your investment plan /strategy... you are diversified and invested long term and also have cash savings so you can ride it out right... Right?

While AI is massively overhyped and misunderstood, there are big differences to e.g. the dot com crash
www.janushenderson.com
Largely, the AI bubble is funded by very large companies, with extremely healthy balance sheets, that are still very profitable.
e.g. Apple hits record earnings
www.bloomberg.com
The expectation is that all tech companies will meet or exceed earnings expectations, and most will report in the next weeks.
As long as this goes on the SM will continue to rise.
Now crashes happen, and you have to start investing knowing full well a 50% wipe put can happen and simply carry on with your strategy, which likely means double down and increase investments .
The problem is the immutable inability to predict timing. The SM might grow another 50-60% over the next 2-3 years before there is a correction. You don't want to miss out on the growth.. The average bull market last 4 years but it isn't unusual to go 6-8 years.

US Stocks Extend Rally as Apple Nears a Record, Earnings Beat
The S&P 500 extended its gains for a second day, helped by signs trade tensions with China may be easing. Better-than-expected corporate earnings trends and a rally in Apple Inc. — which hit its first record this year as analysts highlighted improving iPhone demand trends — also boosted sentiment.

Well, since I've rather rashly quit my job, I've pulled most of my money out now until I decide what I'm doing. Can't be dealing with the risk for now, been a good ride this year though getting on the Liberation day drama and cashing out some big gains.
Still got a small 5-figure holding of a couple of things I'll stick with as they're pretty stable and dividend focused. Now will be watching this thread as a spectator for a while

After becoming unemployed last year I restructured my SIPP and ISA onto a more conservative footing. I'm almost 55 so pretty much unemployable it seems so retirement planning is more of my focus. After a year of relative loafing I can't be arsed with full time work anymore!
Anyway, I also moved away from a largely ETF equities portfolio to a more cautious state and I'm about 30% in MMF or bonds. I allocate about 8% of my portfolio to individual stock or niche ETF plays which has been decent this year but I tend to take any gains above 30% as a rule. It stops me getting greedy. The balance is in low cost index funds - global and now ex-US as a hedge against the dollar.
I'm up 11% this year which is well ahead of my very conservative 4% annual growth forecast. Very happy with that and I seem to have found a positioning where I can live with the amount of volatility. If there is a correction I'll likely use my cash reserves to up the ante a bit.
Cash is fine but I wouldn't want to be 100%.
I've started pulling out some gains now. Things are looking rocky on my extreme speculation stocks. I think sentiment is turning and people are preemptively guessing when a crash is going to happen.Well, since I've rather rashly quit my job, I've pulled most of my money out now until I decide what I'm doing.

The gains were fast. The crash could be much much faster
Well, when I say 'out', I mean cash held in my S&S ISA, which T212 invests in QMMF and is still paying 4.05% on atm.
I'm not trying to crystal ball a crash here, just being more conservative with my risk profile. Could be plenty more upside from here.
