Doesn't look like the WH is going to be able to tweet its way out of this one. Probably still a ways to go before we find a bottom.
OT: Stock and Investment Thread

Be honest, you were 100% cash on April 9, 2025. LOL! You can't be scared when investing.
So you were 100% on that day. LOL!
Follow the trends, like energy, shipping, ag, etc. My personal account was up 3% yesterday. Hope that helps.
Gold creeping back and hold firm (clearing $4530 is the key), but silver is still soft as hell. The last month or so of that silver run was purely meme dynamics.
Politely reminding everyone of the last time Trump when Trump and what happened to the bears.
And look who crawled out of his hibernation cave to post!
I know, it's been well documentary in this thread that you never lose money. Keep catching those knives!
Personal account up another 2% today. Wait for the right levels, respect stop losses if support breaks. Not that difficult. Got in MSFT at $392, broke major support at $383, out. Jumped into NOW at $115, went up for a few days, then broke major support at $110, out. All my energy trades are still trending up, so ride it until it breaks.
As for my retirement accounts, those are mostly passive and perform close to the market, but that's not really what we are talking about in this thread.
Been reading a bunch of articles about how Turkey has been dumping gold to protect/stabilize its currency (Lira) from the recent rise of the dollar. Explains quite a bit of the recent softness in gold prices. Continue to watch the DXY. If it gets past the 101-102 level, definitely more trouble for metals and international equities. A move below 100-99, then buy, buy, buy.

Seen some different theories as to why gold has dropped.
if it holds support this is likely a buying opportunity
Regardless of oil prices or tweets, XLE et al seems to just grind higher.
Bought some RIG.
ripped for a bit. Digested for a bit and now looks like it wants to run again.
also added more gold miners. Jnug and aem
Bearishness close to Liberation Day levels. When the change happened, it's going to rip off faces.
I don’t know about a rip, but maybe a short relief rally. This is shaping up to be a historically bad year.Bearishness close to Liberation Day levels. When the change happened, it's going to rip off faces.
A down year wouldn't be surprising after 23, 24, and 25. However, the entire US gov is essentially trying to juice the market. BBB stimulus, additional business tax cuts, Bessent trying to push down the dollar, Warsh cutting rates and QE if needed. Post-Iran, there should be plenty of tailwinds as well.
Trying something new. I placed my first options spread trade. Bear call spread on ORCL. We shall see!
Great stuff, check out the second topic about the S&P and Nasdaq two-standard-deviation buy signals:
Sold a whole bunch of call options last week on the strong rally day to generate a lot of cash to buy for the relief rally.
Fun day.

I bought RIG, I think on Monday, but I think I'm going to take profits on some of my oil exposure.
Look for deals in some downtrodden blue chips.
