There’s a good rule of thumb that if you’re down 6% in a month you should go to cash and not trade for the rest of the month. My brokerage account is heavy in crypto and small caps that actually have cash flow. I’m down 9% this week and will be going to cash unless it’s up by EOD Monday.

I don’t have a read on that part of the market and will admit defeat to preserve cash if needed. Besides, another good downdraft will likely knock out any support under this market anyway.

What are your losses in? It’s a pretty big dip in the market. If anything you should be averaging down.

Were you down $25K today alone?

Not sure when you bought those positions, but that’s a parade of horribles that should have been cut months ago. I’ve shorted at least half that list.

Ok. That sucks.

I’d look at each position and make a decision.

I sold a country ETF that was down small because it’s chart looked bad. I’m also wearing a 19% draw down on a small position in $SI. It was a higher risk stock so a smaller allocation. But the chart looks different so hoping for a better outcome. But it’s gone with a red close next week.

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
