Seriously people?? Ive made 10% in the last week and 20% in the last month. Don't wait!! At least have something invested. You get a zero % return on cash (technically its slightly negative)

Not saying I agree with the market but damn bro you have had plenty of time to make moves and if you’re still waiting you’ve missed out on $$$$$$$$ over the past month. And FB, MSFT, and TSLA just crushed Q1 today. Azure up 60% YoY???? Whaaaaat

I deployed 30% of my cash reserve in last few weeks and made a good return. However, I don't have confidence with the market. Very confused how markets play out so far. Buffet hasn't fired his elephant gun yet.

Yeah, but there’s probably a duffel full of Benjamins under that chair

I went in with 65% of my money on aapl at 220$, tsla at 485$, Msft at 135, cmg at 500, dis at 98, dal at 27$. But missed out on nflx and amzn. Should have dca on Disney when it hit 70/80 and wish I had gone in with more money on amzn. Also a part of me is worried the market won’t give me an opportunity to go in with the rest of the 35% left on the sidelines. The worst performers in my portfolio bought in the past are slv (silver), T and cop.

Big oof on missing these gains

🙋🏾‍♀️. But mostly because it unexpectedly crept back up despite all of the bleak news. Only looking to I best a few grand, but k do think it will dip back below where it's been the last few weeks so I'm holding out.

I've otherwise been contributing a little extra to my 401k in the interim. And was able to at least invest my 2019 IRA funds in early 2020 which is already a win.

I never sold - but starting to think about it now

You should have, it’s going down. All these ppl saying don’t fight the Fed, just watch! 😂

Well the funny thing is I’m not really down that much right now. Hence why I’m thinking it’s a pretty good time to cut back
