I may be retarded for asking this but if your getting 5 percent a month in a high yield savings account, wouldn’t that mean your getting a 60 percent return if you kept it in there a year or am I just stupid?

I'm not an accountant but I'm getting 80%.

Unless you live in Venezuela, you're not getting 5% a month, it's 5% a year, or .4166% per month

and it’s also possible that there’s just gonna be nothing…

For long-term, I want to see some confirmation of rebound in the S&P 500, at least a golden cross on the hour chart, and then many popular stocks look good,

Seems pretty risky, you might want to stay away from NVDA for a little bit with them delaying their Blackwell chip.

On the other hand if you really want to go crazy with NVDA, and have insane belief, you could also look into NVDL weeklies.

Bond gang we feasting. Hope the fund I had in my 401k is somewhat long dated. I missed a lot of gains due to the sizing I had in bonds vs equity. Might be time to start shifting a little back to equity if we drop hard again tomorrow. This entire move will be too extreme if we have a day similar to Friday. Gonna look at TLT puts to purchase tomorrow if we have another crazy move. I am underwater on CCs, but I feel like it is for no good reason whatsoever. Why would yields drop sub 4% when fed rate even with a 25 BP cut would still hold 5%? Seriously loving the bond market volatility even when I slightly miss the perfect move.

I actually shifted about 15% of my port to bonds a few weeks ago. Saw how high SPY was and thought it was ridiculous, also shifted a similar amount to international fund. VBTIX & VTMNX

I've heard that part of this move downwards was due to Harris gaining momentum, what doesn't make sense to me is where all these institutions will be placing their money if not in the stock market. Bonds? Real estate?

Yen carryover trade crashing the market. It went downhill when BoJ announced a rate hike. Nothing to do with US politics

I'm suffering along with everyone else still unfortunately. Sofi getting dunked on, oil down, and FNMA/FMCC preferred shares dropping at the same clip as SPY. I had a major real estate opportunity dropped into my lap with a lot of help from a friendly real estate agent/investor, but I am unlikely to pull the trigger with how markets are moving and I don't really want to eat ramen with my family for the next year or 2. Looks like there will probably be a lot of real estate deals coming in the next year or 2 so it will all work out.

fuark its getting srs overnight lmao.. spy $520

question: I'm on about $15k of margin right now. If I put $15k of cash into my brokerage and then buy SWVXX, will that take my margin balance to 0, or does SWVXX count as a position? I know SWVXX counts as collateral for CSPs but not sure if it counts towards meeting margin requirements.

Can always count on RobinHood to halt 24-hour trading to prevent people from taking profits and dip buying. lol

Always some excuse, like lack of liquidity etc.

This must be an overreaction. This is a blood bath.

If I had money I would load up because apparently stocks only go up!

I think the fed cut will give the market an initial boost before it rolls over so that is giving me more confidence that we are not crashing yet.
You still feeling this way? Bounce back to ATH from 5000?

Sorry man, I just meant he was giving specific numbers and got it pretty accurately so far. I asked him a few questions earlier in the thread.

Gotta give you credit too although you seem even more bearish than he is!
