That’s been the case the whole week lol. Even 500 is nearly wiped out the last year. The more risky pie I’ve got is down 12%. RR is holding up okay for now. Earnings on 27th afaik. May just bounce enough to get me out of red. But I’m not selling. These are all 5-10 year investments for me.

RR is probably one of the better ones to be in.
Euro defense. I'm still contemplating buying into some EU defense stocks.. But not sure if I've missed the boat.

I'm not sure I agree. Markets at an all time high, crazy volatility from Trump and Russia/Ukraine, AI bubble and meme stocks at record valuations, there's plenty of room for this to carry on falling.

If you think the markets are overheated and you want to exit or take profits....then make a considered decision to do it, and do it when the markets have had a GOOD day. This Is what I did back in November/December.

Don't panic selling after a big drop and crystallise more losses than you need to. Just making trades off the back of emotional impulses like is a massive red flag. Same as I don't react to FOMO because I'm mostly cash

I have just had a nibble and bought back in some Intel though

Chicken lickens doing my head in tbh, might have to block op to not see the thread. No need to spook others just because you're spooked.

You can actually 'ignore' the thread using thread tools. Come back when the markets all green again

I only discovered it recently and it's been very useful!

Why? These stocks just get swept up in euphoria. Their price isn't based on reality.

LUNR has a contract worth billions with nasa

Intuitive Machines (LUNR) has multiple contracts with NASA, including a $4.82 billion contract for communication and navigation services and a study contract for lunar logistics.

literally twice their market cap.

then go look at other companies, loads are with a market cap that dwarves their revenue

I'm still well up (I don't buy individual stocks) but it's reminded me that I am actually retired and YOLO'ing everything in high risk funds is perhaps not the best idea for a stress free retirement.
