I don't, but id only be buying things that have strong cash holdings, yield dividends, and have taken a beating right now. Now's the time to be buying though.

Most interesting things I'm looking at outside of crypto are the Fidelity crypto and metaverse ETFs.

its fascinating to me how small/medium flux cause people to speculate. All the investor ratings and and market cap are just smoke and mirrors tbh.

i akin this to first take on ESPN. talking shit about steph curry one day, then blowing smoke up his ass another

I'm not buying this market rally. But maybe inflation will be down at next meeting, in a print-to-print basis, acting as tailwind. I expect fed to raise 50 basis points as a guess, I feel they are going to switch to slightly dovish in action, even if they talk hawk

I think it’s another 75 bps in July then no meeting until September.

One option is to mirror Nancy Pelosi's stock trades. She must have an amazing analytics team managing her portfolio.

Market consensus is for the next two hikes to be a sum of 175 basis points. That is so BS. We have probably peaked and fed will dove way more than that

Not sure about peaking, but pretty sure they are intent on continuing hikes. We’re a long way from 2% inflation and job market is still strong overall. I was thinking 75 bps this month but now wouldn’t be shocked to see 100 bps.

A year from now we could be hoping the pendulum swings back the other way. Gonna be hard to find an equilibrium.

Stay on cash to be ready for the next pull down.

For the average person, Series I Savings Bonds (aka I-Bonds) are a really good way to save. After all, the risk is essentially zero, and no matter what the gov't is going to pay you a real rate of return. Yeah, there are some restrictions on when you can sell w/o giving up some of that, but where else can you get that deal?

Now, why would politicians be hawking them? I imagine because it's one of the only positive suggestions they can make to their consituents in the face of these ridiculous inflation rates. It also puts cash in the treasury, which in theory reduces the amount of deficit spending, though that's such a trivial amount it doesn't move the needle. Plus, they'll spend it anyway, as is well documented.

Good day to buy more downside protection, with earnings getting into full swing the next couple of weeks.

Yes, of course. And the rate adjusts based on the rate of inflation every 6 months. It's currently 9.62%.

Yes, only $10k per Social Security Number per year (additional $5k if you have Federal tax refund).
I have been purchasing the max for family of 4 in the last 3 years and probably the top returns on our portfolio.

just got a class action notice postcard in the mail
i had purchased and sold a handful of BMW shares when I first opened my Robinhood account in 2018

It doesn't say how much each shareholder will get (will depend on how many shares, most likely)
I will probably get a dollar or two from this

[antzcrashing]

Stock market bulls:
No one:

Looks inflation went down slightly and more than they predicted. We good now

[XKxRome0ox]

recession cancelled

[Tyga11]

Looks like we're back in business! If you had cash on the sidelines you missed a huge rally already. That's why you should always be invested

[RickFLM4]

You guys really think inflation and rate hikes are done or are you joking?
