What happens when you have stocks crashing down and you want to sell but nobody will buy them? Do you just get stuck with it while the rich people are allowed to sell?

Got into stocks about a week ago. About 10 years too late. I use Fidelity as my brokerage account. Their trading platform is pretty cool, too.

Can’t pump too much money into it now since I’m trying to buy a house and save as much as I can for the down payment.

I’d be in for the discord group.

Market crashes take time to crash usually so i doubt it will all happen in a day, could be like weeks or months of steady decline. gordon is right because we are literally at the finally stage of euphoria in the market, literally no where else to go but down. IPO, SPAC, EV, Robinhood.... etc etc. there is no more eurphoria left in my opinion.

how old are you OP? my plan is to have 1 million as well buy 35 and i am 28

Hey guys. My work doesn’t offer a 401k, but my boss pitched to me the idea of investing into Wealthfront. Anybody have anything to say about it? I currently have $10,800 in there and my return put it up to $11,900... so I made a bit over a thousand dollars starting from November. My “risk tolerance” that the website made me choose is a 8.5. I chose that because im young. My plan is to continue to put in a few hours meted dollars every month.

Wealthfront picks the investments for you. All you do is put your money in. My return has been good so far... anybody know of any downsides to this type of business?

Again, who said I was looking to "time the market". As another poster said a few posts ago, market upturns and downturns typically build over weeks. I am not trying to call the top before the drop. If I tried to do that, I would have been totally out months ago when the DOW was at 22k.

What I am saying is I am not afraid to watch my portfolio tank when the market turns. I have an exit strategy (not timing) when this happens over time that will still leave me up. I dont pull in and out at every turn. But in my lifetime I have experienced at least a few major turns. The first being 1999 where I didnt do anything. In 08 I was able to react some based on my experience in 99 and also having friends in the loan industry. In 20 I was able to react based on experience and I believe we are due for a pretty big correction but I dont know when so I will ride the wave until it hits.

you said you would ride the wave and get out when the market corrects 30%
Who says the next day, it doesn’t go up 10% and then up from there?

Its only timing the market if I immediately try to jump back in right? I said 30-35%.....Im curious to see how many points in time the market sharply corrected 30-35% down then right back up. Only a few in history. March being one of them. What I am doing is having a strategy based with I am ok making with my individual stock portfolio. From there I may move that money to my business, towards my family's pleasure (beach house - im very ok right now spending money on these things as I believe inflation will hit so id rather have a pool and a house I can enjoy vs watch my spending power on my dollar decline), towards more investment property, etc.

Will read your due-diligence on why you're high on those stocks you want us to go in on. Most of them seem to be at all time highs and i'm a little hesitant buying them and ending up a bag holder. And do you have any stocks that you like that are under $50, $20, etc.

Let's say there is a crash... what would be your thought process? Haven't experienced the ones before '20, but seems like 08 it literally took years to recover
In4 answer to this. What should be a thought process during a crash? Don’t pull out and ride it out? Since stocks should be a multi-decade-long process? I guess it depends on your goals. I assume everyone here is thinking long-term

Nothing he mentioned seems outside the public domain, although it might require some digging to get the information OP has easy access to through work

That’s just being smart, understanding what you’re competent in and leveraging that knowledge. I work in Oil & Gas and I invest in oil and gas because that’s what I understand.

Anybody else worried about a crash soon? Markets are too damn good right now considering we’re in a pandemic. Everybody and their mother is investing either on RH or in crypto. A few billionaires sell off and it’ll cause a panic for the retail investors. IDK. Not stopping me but it’s in my mind.
Horny.

so long as there is stimulus the market will keep going

everybody and their mother investing is the reason its gonna keep going up. they probably won't even sell when the top comes because they'll have no idea what it means or is.

hurr my stonk gone down. wut dis

it will crash. but im planning capitalise every day until it does

Money flowing into the markets will very likely dry up when COVID is in our rear view mirror and people have outlets for their cash again


Can't go wrong if you come up with reasonable valuations for businesses you understand and just don't pay more for something than it's actually worth

Talking stocks and ideas, why buy and hold etc is a great thread. Posting your positions/portfolios with actual amounts isn’t. But I don’t trust random people I have never met.

You disagree?
Yes I can see your point. I guess I am timing the market. However there are micro moments in the markets and macro moments. I think it would be challenging to find times in the market where it dips by 30-35% and then comes ranging right back instantly.

From a macro perspective, in 08 I remember watching the market dive and I went in aggressive on apple. I took one of my cars, went to the credit union, took out a loan at 1.9% against it and put the money they gave me on apple and exited the position maybe 3 years ago to be some property. I guess that was timing the market as well even though I held the position for close to 9 years.

Due diligence for Appian


APPN - 223.99


Market Cap: 15 billion



52-wk high 260.00
52-wk low 29.07


Appian is a 'low-code' software development platform; which in layman's terms means it makes developing apps for their customers (customers include Deloitte, Barclays, the FDA, the US Army, US Airforce Credit Suisse, KPMG, Major League Baseball, Sprint, and many mid-market / SMBs; https://www.appian.com/customers/) very easy and quick.

Think about it; the move for companies and service providers to have an app their customers can download and use is growing rapidly. There are so many companies in my opinion, where a decade ago if you told me they'd have an app I would've laughed (McDonald's, and my own apartment building, for example). This trend is just getting started, and is going to grow, not shrink, which creates massive opportunity and tailwinds for Appian.


-Analysts believe the low-code automation market will reach 180 billion by 2030; whereas it sits at just 20 billion today.meaning that Appian's 2019 revenue of 260million would account for less than 1% of total market opportunity


As Appian has grown their customer base, they've improved margins and profitability -- 73% margins today, up from 64% in 2019.




The CEO still owns over 40% of the company's stock, which indicates he's on the same frequency as pleb investors like me.



I will continue to add to my position in APPN when I can (ded fkn Srs)
