The market is certainly ripping. Movement seems to follow a comment here or there or a tweet on X or Truth Social or AI agents, algos, earnings, etc. I'm not a bear, I've jumped on momentum stocks like any of you guys. Just be careful out there (an old Hill Street Blues line). Watch out for the greed factor and any directional consensus. At my age I've seen it all, new paradigms, new metrics, "things are different this time", etc. Cover your asses whenever possible and don't get too greedy. Its ok to take profits, pigs get slaughtered.
Or pick a stock/fixed income asset allocation that you can live with.
I'm 70% equities / 30% fixed income. Definitely conservative for someone my age but it helps me sleep at night and i can ride the highs and not get blasted too bad with the pull backs

Was up 7% in regular trading down 9% in extended.
Much like SPCX, minimal move overall for the day.
See what they do tomorrow.

If you keep your wits about you, or even just ignore it, you'll come out fine on the other side.
Though it is an argument for not having a stop loss in place. And it could even be said that stop losses play into the downside volatility as well.
If guidance was good, definitely another buy the dip lay-up.
The only commentary ive heard was from The Compound. They really liked the earnings due to big rev growth. They didn’t comment on guidance.
They did think the stock would get below $100
first unlock tomorrow. Ill have the eye on that. If its down big im in.
currently at $111 so still above recent lows.
I just feel unless someone is a committed full time trader I think it’s just better to be an investor. Thats where im at at least.
Though my portfolio does suffer from overcrowding. I either need to stop buying new stuff or be better at selling.
I would routinely sell some losers when you want to buy new names. Pull the weeds and make room for new flowers! Taking a loss is fine if you think the capital can be allocated in a better way.
and use the losers for tax loss harvesting
Sold some 6.5% SPG bonds.
Going to split the proceeds 3 ways. SPY, QQQ, TQQQ.
Im not usually an ETF, or index guy, but it's in a seperate account, so I'm just going to watch to see how they perform relative to each other, and relative to my main portfolio.

After months of consolidation, gold is looking very strong. I'm in a GLD bull call spread.....betting it will recapture ATHs by the end of Trump's term (so Dec 2028).
Here we go again…I guess citadel is redeploying their windfall to drive up gold and precious metal prices before they pull the rug out again LOL. AI/chips…Precious metals…rare earth…quantum…space exploration…AI/chips…just rinse and repeat. Rare earth was down like 40% in 3 months now up 12% in 5 days. Silver up almost 9% in 5 days. If there is one lesson I learned lately is you either trade this **** and cash out in the green or just buckle up for a bumpy ride.
They have been so wrong for so long. They make Cramer look like Buffett.
Gold and other precious metals were seriously impacted by Iran (not exactly sure why, but that's what happened). Something like other nations had to stop buying gold to protect their currencies against a strong dollar.
Same boat. I felt like a genius this year until I got caught in the recent reset and situational awareness BS. Some of my positions were up 130%+ and within days got crushed - scrambled to get out with 30% gains. Then some newer positions got stopped out for losses only to rebound like 15%+ in 2 days. I do spend a fair amount of time on this stuff but can’t react or interpret the news quick enough to make good decisions. Plus I think the volatility is completely artificial and being driven by coordinated trading and machines running the same algos on same positions. I think Burry is right and the hedge funds realized they can play the roaring kitty game on a much grander scale.
Yeah until you remember BS like Citadel and PFOF from HOOD. Or talk to the commodities traders back in the day that used to front run trades and made a fortune. Or the CDOs that crashed the market. These pod shops are real. It’s the only way to explain the current volatility - together with the fact that computers are making trading decision and not humans. But I hear you. I’m not sour I just need to adapt and def got greedy. I should have taken more profits along the way. Lesson learned.
Even with all the shady BS, the market still goes up 75% of the time. So.....does it really matter?

And that’s why the vast majority of my money is in lock-down with index funds and ETFs. But these days the market is def more like a casino and trading is hard without algos
