That's the question and would have me concerned about the costs you could expect to see when repairing stuff like collision damage, other random crap that fails (infotainment / electrical / interior parts), etc. They're gonna make the money somewhere, either they'll make it or they won't survive. You can find doomsday articles on Google saying stuff like "Rivian fender bender turns into $42k repair bill" but who knows how much of that is fear mongering.

TSLA is approaching a major resistance TL at $298. If you have longs, definitely exit around there and go short.

The most I've been doing is trimming, still holding decent sized positions in NVDA, MSFT, TSLA

Feels like today is pullback and tech rally may continue on?

Thoughts anyone?

I've definitely seen a few of those cost estimates. And the one in particular I looked at, looked like a nightmare to repair labor wise, and so it made sense. If true, that's a huge problem. Anyone that works on cars, knows engineers can be a pain in the ass when it comes to repairs. I guess I'd not be surprised that a startup company would consider that. I'll likely be buying Japanese for the rest of my life, unless I opt for a C8 in the future.

I'm long on everything. It sucks that I've made so much money on NVDA, because it's so tempting to exit. Of course I want to pull back, but quite a bit of my portfolio is red, so owell. Best thing I could do is put in stop limits, which expire in 60 days. Does anyone else not do expirations, because that enough reason for me to pick a new broker other than Vanguard.

I don't plan on touching any of that money for at least 20 years, so I see no sense to sell a thing. I just don't plan to buy more at this point.

ASML is still worth buying IMO, I'm frankly surprised they haven't blown up the same way other semiconductor companies have (and ASML is one of the few companies in the world with a true monopoly position in their industry. Actually, I will edit this and more accurately say: ASML is the only mega cap monopoly in the world). Once ASML begins using their shekels to consolidate the semicap industry, its game over (srs)

Also, when China levels Taiwan and the world has to build $500 billion worth of new fabs to replace TSMC, every semiconductor company in the world (even these supposedly $1 trillion ones) will need to rely on ASML for their chips to be made

I have no clue haha.

We know that 7 stocks made all the gains this year.

For the market to sell off these names need to sell.

Without these names selling this market isn't going anywhere.

My post above how commodities have started to pick up in price again is that stupid bond market clowns will realize that Fed can't back off inflation fight and will have to keep raising rates to 5.75-6 and than you get credit crunch and they are forced to trim the shiit holding all this up.

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintel...-2023-75823741





^this data is till May 17.

These gains are even bigger now as of today.

like massive more up for all 7 since May 17th.

nvda is 200% up etc

Well, I'm getting killed in opportunity cost yet again by not investing like it's 2021, but I just can't justify these tech stonk valuations. I get that $NVDA ispotentiallythe only game in town for AI GPUs and that GPU demand will increase, but trading at 20-25x FORWARD SALES is absolutely outrageous. I don't even understand wtf is happening with $TSLA and how it's at 52 week highs all over again just because of it's stupid charging network. We already know margins are coming down, they've now potentially given in for something that truly differentiated their EV vs the competition, and who even knows how much extra money this will add. Is it really the hundreds of billions of dollars in market cap that's being implied? I highly doubt that.

Idk, I'm starting to underperform everywhere outside of my retirement fund (hence why I always DCA into index funds no matter what), but I just can't justify jumping into valuations at these levels, especially since we're entering a tightening cycle.

This is true and warrants more discussion

Recently market gains can be attributed to the fed stopping QT and pumping more cash, but it seems like once they actually pivot the market bottoms out

Is there any reasonnotto hold in a cash position right now and buy at a 10-20% discount

I think the obvious answer is not knowing where the top of this rally will end. Let's say for arguments sake, SPY continues to rally for another 3 months and puts on another 10% to 475. How will you feel then? A lot of people holding cash will start to feel FOMO. Buy, wait? Capitulation works in both directions.

What if the bottom is not a V shaped recovery? What if the bottom is above the price when you sold?

Cash position is viable if you are comfortable with your ability to analyze the market and if you are OK with not catching the bottom.

I'd argue cash is for complete and utter cucks. Interest rates are at worst 50 points from their peak. Cash should be thrown in bonds.

At a bare minimum, put your cash in SWVXX and get 5% in the meantime.

Yep. VMFXX is another option.

On another note, for everyone in Vanguard funds, enjoy those quarterly dividends that've been coming out this month.

You may want to re-evaluate. You're 19.5% in Microsoft since VOO is 7% Microsoft. Bitcoin is too high for my taste. I have 1% Bitcoin in my IRA.

Cash position is viable if you are comfortable with your ability to analyze the market and if you are OK with not catching the bottom.
Even if the the bottom came in in October, there are still a lot of stocks trading cheaply, there is still opportunity to make money if you have cash and the indices continue to rise.

If the bottom has not come in yet then you are really going to wish you had some cash when it does lol.

Bottom has not come in, I'll be fine if I'm wrong but I've made $$$ since the low and I have an alt plan.
