Not at all. You could buy puts and balance your portfolio to lock it in at current prices for a while.

Might miss out on returns, but there are other plays.

Put on your tinfoil boyos.


Q Anon said it was a warning (from the deep state/elite) to DJT who released the memo that day. Pretty convenient that it dropped 666. Deep state is warning him not to sink them. Lots of odd things happening, like the rothchilds had to sell austrian property larger than manhatten just now... Why though, they are trillionaires ... Unless their funds have been frozen by Trump because of his latest EO, and they needed some quick cash so they had a firesale...




Who knows though, thats just what Q said.

/tinfoil

Yeah could be the correction. I wonder how many market experts were completely thrown for a loop about it/don't know what to say about it? (I don't have time for market research I'm busy with other things right now)

Torn on this.

He was going to get blamed regardless. Rogue was blaming him for it before he even took office...

If you are going to take hit regardless isn't should you take the undo credit as well to balance it out?

I think 35% is too high. The tax cut news alone would have boosted the baseline from Obummer 10%. I'll say if the full correction comes, we get no lower than 19k. Although testing 22k and then 20k will be downright scary. Particularly for an old bro like me who has a decent amount of money in the market but doesn't have the investing chops to do much else other than dollar cost average.

Dave Ramsey listener detected. I like him too. Best thing that ever happened to my financial life was discovering him about 15 years ago.

Even if you are market savvy, an index fund and targeted retirement funds offer very low fees and over the long term, index funds outperform something like 80% of the actively managed funds (if memory serves).

Trump's fault.


And Russians'.

And republicans'


p.s.
If tomorrow market goes to a new all time high again it will be because of Obama. Got it? This is how it works: anything bad happens = Trump's fault. Anything good happens = Obama's doing, Trump had nothing to do with it.

.Well no, but I think people are bringing Trump into this because he publicly claimed the stock market was the way it is because of him. So natural people are good by to use this against him.

Yeah there is a lot of chit going on, but the rothchilds selling their prized real estate (and possibly for quite cheap) because Trump locked up their funds says a lot. I haven't read yup about Soros liquidating yet, but if he is they must be scrambling.

Maybe trump will pay for the wall with the funds from evil people like them. And maybe give every american a slice of the recovered funds... THAT would be the best gift ever and get trump 3 more terms (2 as VP or something). This sentence is purelyMY speculation and hope

It is hard to say.... I am big into Price to Earnings Ratio as well.

Average is about 15 and it was at 26...

So technically that would be a 43% correction. -> But there are more factors.

The tax cut should increase Earnings... If that is the case the ratios would drop through that.

However, I don't think 15 is a true mean anymore, due to the change in how retirement is funded. I also think due to the negative risk free rate of return we have had in the recent 2 decades... that has also adjusted the desired P/E ratios of the market.

Ugly day. Hope sellers get it out of their system soon. I imagine computer trading played a roll in the fast downturn this afternoon. I don't know enough about stock trading, but I'm going with the main theory that fears of interest rates going up and a new Fed chief have some traders concerned.

Then follow these steps, do not proceed to the next step until the previous step is complete

1. Acquire life insurance- 20 yrs or longer term(not the whole life crap) you want it to last long enough until your youngest is 18, so if you don't have kids yet, maybe get a 30yr term now. You want to get it while your younger and health

2. Acquire long term disability insurance. This one is debateable, I personally would get it.

3. Save an emergency fund- enough liquidity for you go go 6 months without working if something happens

4. eliminate all debt(except in some cases home mortgage)- math will tell you some debt is ok, whatever- buy it or do without

5. start a roth IRA or regular IRA depending on what you qualify for. If you qualify for a Roth, do it, once you make enough money, you will no longer qualify for it. Save 15% towards retirement

6. If you are living by above budget(20% less than monthly bring home) you should start acquiring excess money monthly to either buy a house with, or invest more aggressively. This is also the money you can start your own buisness with.

Since you are still single, you have the opportunity to be smart about your pick for a sqouse. You can find someone you love of coarse, but there are plenty to choose from that are also financially conservative, and make money. Get their credit report before you get serious. I know love is love, but there are millions to choose from that keep their money in order..
I work in the insurance business and can still tell you that buying life insurance before having an emergency fund is retarded. What happens when you lose your job, have no emergency fun, then can't pay the life ins? You'll have to start all over from scratch.

Also, why TF would someone in their 20's be worried about "locking in rates" on term insurance? A 250k term policy for a 25 year old and a 35yr old are marginally different at best.

Yep his debt philosophy is a dead give away.

To me Dave Ramsey is like Alcoholics Anonymous. Great if you are a fuk up. It wont ever ruin you.

But you are missing out of returns by listening to it.

He says it him self. He teaches based on behavior not math. If you can do the math there are better methods. Which is why virtually all of the most successful companies are carrying debt.

Im pretty ignorant about these things, we use a family friend for our investments and he's been really good over the years. i'm going to talk to him tonight but I'm curious as to why people getting paid more, good job numbers is bad for us. I would have thought people earning more and likely spending more would be good for the economy?

I’m a boglehead myself when it comes to investing. Grate website and forum for those interested. Jack bogle is the founder of vanguard for those unaware.

Dave Ramsey is great for the masses for getting out of debt. His investing advice is a little suspect, but still worthwhile for those starting out.

I’ve read a few of his books amongst many other personal finance books.

Listened to him a few times.

I don’t fully subscribe to his approach, and actually disagree with certain aspects, however that being said I think for a majority of people on this forum and people struggling with personal finances his approach is great advice.

I often give any managers I have struggling with personal finances one of his books, along with some of my new younger managers that are up-and-coming.

For certain people I thing Ramsay’s approach is too restraining for greatness.

Of the radio talking heads I used to like Mike Kavanagh(RIP) allot.

because if the economy overheats, the Fed steps in and raises interest rates to stop runaway inflation.

this is why the trump claims of a 4-6% GDP is and always was unrealistic. the increasing interest rates will work to slow down the economy. the Fed likes to see GDP closer to the 2-3% range

Just a market correction boys. This is your buying opportunity if you've been looking to get into the market. If your already in, just sit tight and go about your day. This correction is long overdue, the last correction was Feb 2016. We went close to 24 months without a market correction. This bull market cycle isn't over yet.

Just Remember: Bulls make money, Bears make money, and Hogs get slaughtered.
MAGA 2020!

Instead most seem to take it as the bible and try to thump you ever the head with it.
Most of his target audience is religious groups. That should tell you something.

I like Dave a lot though. His baby steps plan is excellent for people saddled with debt. I agree with everyone else ITT though. His investing and debt leveraging is a bit too cautious.
