Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

So shall I put money in S&P
No because at the end of the day it's just kicking the crash down the road. When the U.S runs out of Chinese made goods to sell... stuff will hit the fan. Maybe China will retaliate by stopping U.S made films from releasing in China like was rumoured, adding higher tariffs seem pointless as U.S goods are already too expensive in China with the current 85%.

The S&P 500 is the Standard & Poor 500 which is the top 500 stocks on the US stock exchange by market cap, ie. the safest and least volatile stocks.


while safer and less volatile than single stocks and some other specific high growth ETFs, it is not designed around low volatility. By the nature of weighting by market cap, it means most change is based on a relatively small group of companies that have seen the most growth in recent years. It is also of course only US stocks.


Something like SCHD is based on income generation so tends to be mature companies that pay high dividends so grown potential is lower but so is volatility. Not saying it is a great alternative, but just highlighting a common ETF with usually lower risk. An All world or developed world tracker will also offer increased diversity and slightly lower volatility.

Conversely something like QQQ is heavily tech biased so has given higher growth than S&P500 , but more volatile and less diversified .


Which all just to say you have a tradeoff between risk/volatility and returns. The S&P500 is somewhere in the middle.
 
I'm probably going to hold out as I don't know if looking at the right thing
The CCP can not back down as it would be political suicide. Especially after Vance called the people of China, peasants with the video going viral over Chinese social media, whipping people into a frenzy. The U.S and China are on a course of mutual destruction.

Why don’t you start off small… get your feet wet, and start learning from there..

You may get desensitisation…. And start to invest more and more.

But I can’t believe the level of fear on this thread.

what areas of the stocks do you know or work in? retail? IT? Food? try considering these when review stock purchase as its areas you'll better understand

Markets tanking, massive swings based on the ramblings of an old guy with a god complex, yeah I wonder why there is fear :D

At the end of the day, what do you think is going to happen when the U.S runs out of Chinese goods? The U.S can not replace a trade partner like China overnight, if ever. The WTO is predicting a 400billion+ USD reduction in trade between China and the U.S if this continues.

Surely the recovery is an overreaction? It's still 10% tarrif that we didn't have a few weeks ago and he's still tarrifing the country that makes everyone's ****?
Most investors expected 10%. This was built in for months. They didn’t know the idiot was going to go way beyond that for some countries.

As I understand it.

So 90 days at 10% is massive. Gives confidence to investors.. plus china to US is only 3% of global trade so much less impactful to the global economy .
 
I think Trump will be rolling back the tariffs soon, he's just trying to do it without making himself look like the total clown that he is.

I personally will be buying into any opportunities I see
