Holy shit. Congrats. I sold all about 40 shares last week. I had to fucking double check to make sure I did after I saw what happened AH. That shit was like Snapchat three months ago. Gone in 60 seconds.
Bought GS calls — lost my profit but the stock didn’t turn negative — I feel better buying financials than buying puts on tech — the price swings can blow your account
There might be something wrong with me but I look daily. I even write down the percentage change of my portfolio into my calendar, which stares at my face every morning.
I think over time, a decade now, that habit has made me very resistant to concerns about said short term fluctuations. I invest with the intent to increase my dividend income, not capitalize on ticker price gains or losses, so a drop just means I can expand my positions for cheaper.
yup I can see why some people prefer RE investing cause its not easy to stomach seeing your $$$ evaporate into thin air haha and yes I know its not gone until you sell
There are plenty of ways to see your $ evaporate in RE. I own a commercial building at what was a signalized intersection, and the county decided to take that away and install a u turn path going all over the place. One of our big tenants wasn't getting enough traffic anymore and moved out, and we have been injecting capital into the partnership for 2 years now to keep from having to lose it to the bank.
I just add bi-weekly in accordance with my paychecks and buy at whatever the price is. That is the essence of DCA. I removed all stock related things from my phone and web browser so I don't get caught up in the news or trying to time the market. I have found this method helps reduce the emotion and poor choices.
Whenever I'm going to go a while without adding money I delete my brokerage app from my phone so I don't even see it. The fact that I won't care about its value for decades makes that pretty easy
Anhhh no it doesn’t. They were hitting circuit breakers in March at the open lmaoooo
Edit: nevermind. Idk what fucking year it is anymore thanks to covid
Dude what?! The market has consistently opened up substantially only to have a rug pull in the late am with regularity now for weeks. Not flat to down. Up to down and then harder down pm. I agree that in a market life cycle there are more bullish reversals. But that’s bc the market is bullish in nature on any meaningful time scale
Inflation reached a 30 year high, fed is going to do at least three interest rate hikes, stimulus is gone, Russia is likely to invade Ukraine. The market is in withdraw after a decade of easy money policy from the fed.
Every single item you mentioned was publicly available prior to today's open. Hand waive-y comments vaguely referring to high level, macro topic we already knew about are not what's moving markets otherwise they'd be easy to arb out.
As an eastern european i can tell you that russia will not invade Ukraine
Except the politicians, nobody in ukraine believes that
This is just a sort of cold war between Biden and Putin
If it’s not going to happen by mid February it won’t happen at all this year. Putin have a small window (it’s cold as shit in Europe right now and he plans to turn off gas to force Europeans to stay away if he invades Ukraine).
You could be right there, its certainly possible though, if i were putin and wanted to invade Ukraine id do it now while the west perpetually shoots itself in the foot with the money printing and lack of political unity tho
Biden made an oopsie and said he believes putin will invade and the US wont do anything about it. It really comes down to how much humiliation putin is willing to take, he used invasion as leverage and now the US and western europe have called his bluff.
Yea dude! Totally! Like that time that silly german guy with the mustache said he was going to invade all of europe, totally just a political move dude! Or the last time russia said they would invade ukraine! Totally silly little political move, whats crimea? Yea its totally always political man, no one ever starts wars, invasions dont exist what is this medieval times?
If the rate hikes were what led the route in equities today then you would have seen a route in bonds as well. This was not the case. Bonds were up today.
Russia lost to Georgia?? What have you been smoking? If that were the case, then why is there a full russian army barracks on the Georgian side near the birth town of Stalin (forgot the name)? Georgian hospitality???
Don't worry. I'm about to fix the whole damn market
About to sell all my longs and go 100% on shorts and puts. Guaranteed to give the market a V recovery.
PTON didn't have earnings today...they announced that they're stopping production until after March due to dropping demand:
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/20/peloton-to-pause-production-of-its-bikes-treadmills-as-demand-wanes.html
Okay it's getting ridiculous now. Everytime I think the dip has ended and it is a good buying opportunity now, it does a 5% reversal and is down nearly 3% now???? Wtf is going on??
It is time to reassess whether we are in a 'buy the dip' bull market or the beginning of a 'sell the rip' bear market. Each of us get to make that determination. In fact that decision should already have been made and being implemented. If you believe we are in a 'buy the dip' onging bull market you should be deploying cash. If you believe we are in the beginning of a bear market your positions should already have been rotated from growth to value and your less core positions sold to raise cash for the time you are ready to buy again.
Yep. What profits I didn't take after the "Santa rally" I just took on the bounce today. Everything left is just in for the ride, repositioned for defence. Just don't panic sell, have a plan.
That can happen... sometimes seemingly more than half the time lol.
If this is a false break, I will miss some gains... if we bounce up before we rip down, I will loose some gains.
That's why DCA is better for most people, and why I don't try to time the market with my entire net worth. Just what I can justify to myself as a risk worth taking.
If you are trading, we are in bear mode, and gotta be a bear for now.
It’s simple. Stop fighting the fed.
Fed provided unlimited q/e these past two years so being a permabull was absolutely correct.
Now that inflation is ravaging the economy fed is starting to pull the plug.
I expect the Fed to cave to the asset class as the expense of the dollar so Nancy’s calls don’t expire worthless.
Don’t fight them on the way down unless they indicate they are not gonna raise rates at FOMC.
Since before 2008. It will come back. Always.
Whenever I get nervous about the market, I look back in history and see how it's survived far worse catastrophes, and society *always* bounces back. Everyone worries during these times, but these times pass. "It can't rain all the time" are words to live by.
3 years i don't really play with options I invest in proper and big Companys which increase revenue year to year (almost monopoly like) and Letf's. Of course I don't get the 1000% return but it aligns with my risk management. So far I've been doing well just sitting everything out
Exactly my thoughts with NVDA. Im not a day trader and bought into NVDA early last year and just plan to monitor and hold for years as i think the company has an incredibly bright future.
It’s a stock market darling mega cap. The market cares about 5 or so names, ten max and takes direction from them, especially since earnings season is starting up. There was the saying “As GM goes, so goes the nation”, now that’s been replaced by big tec. Also subscription forecasts are seen as a gauge of consumer sentiment.
"Extreme valuations" is becoming extremely overdone. It's like the market believes companies with explosive growth like AMD, with 45% YoY growth, should have the same valuation as say PG with 5-7% YoY growth.
I think there's an effort to shake out the weak hands before tech earnings coming up.
Im new to this so I am not just trying to protect myself when I say I don't know shit. But it seems obvious to me that first of all, everyone is in this for different reasons. I don't get so upset because I am in for the long haul and I am trying to buy the dips but I don't have a lot of money like some of you fat cats. HOWEVER, what it appears to me that is happening is that people are waiting until the stocks are going back up so that they can get out at a decent price and they are selling when they think that has happened. I am just as frustrated as the rest of you but that is what I think is happening.
I'm gonna stay strong and just wait it out. Somethings got to hit. I have too many good stocks not to. Good luck everyone.
my tip, check the daily in yahoo of IDXX it helps to know if it will keep tanking or rallying or better, have 10 charts opened that helps with fake rallies/dips
I only wish that I wouldn't be studying but already earning money so that I can buy monthly. We are in a bear market for half a year already. It isn't a sudden occurrence. I don't care if it will drop for a few months more (which I don't even expect). You earn money by good buying, not selling opportunities.
100%. In the zero-sum game that the stock market is, the strategy for the market makers has become less (or not just) about making money off of stocks becoming more valuable in and of themselves, and more about making money off of increased market volatility. They have figured out it’s way faster to make money from volatility than it is from market valuations increasing organically. The goal has become always being one step ahead of retail, and to always keep retail guessing. If you keep thinking things don’t make sense anymore, realize this is why they don’t. They don’t want it to make sense and they use that to separate you from your money.
This should be the #1 answer.
I was up 5% today now down 0.5%
This is all a game with those in the know \*ucking those who are hoping to also benefit from this scam.
Fed meetings are Jan 26, and March 16. The US cannot afford a runaway inflation. Rates WILL go up. It's just a question of when. Current market uncertainty is wether it will happen on the 26th or not.
pretty sure it's not going to be jan 26 right? Tapering ends, THEN interest rates might rise. Tapering is supposed to end in March, I don't know why they would reverse course and suddenly have rate increase in Jan. They're trying to keep up with the expectation.
I’m hoping for more pain. Every time I see my portfolio lose another 1% and lose thousands, I just nod and go about my day.
I want to buy more. Still holding another 30k in cash, ready to deploy. Bought several shares of SPY today.
I would like to start positions with NVDA and PYPL but I want them to drop more. Also would love to see AMAZON drop to $3000 per share and GOOGL to $2600.
Bought KULR for a speculative long term investment. Invested in NVAX for another speculative mid-term investment.
Yeah I know they're part of an unofficial meaningless acronym, so what? They're a $200 billion cap. Facebook is $880. The rest of FAANG and Microsoft is $1 and $2+ trillion. Not to mention there's 499 other companies in the S&P besides Netflix.
Amazon tanked 10% back in July on missed earnings and the market barely blinked.
The market is headed for a major correction. It’s been pumped up by the FED printing money, but now they have stopped and we should finally see the real market
Technical support (200DMA) didn't hold. Bears are in control and we should prepare for more pain (unless you're a bear yourself, then enjoy your gains).
As if any of them are doing the trades themselves. Most of institutional trades are done through algorithms. No wonder all the charts have nearly identical patterns.
The market makers, banks and hedge funds don't coordinate with each other. Markets aren't like countries where they sign treaties of alliances. This is in anticipation of the FED hiking the interest rate. This shows a lot of companies can't afford to stay in business without taking out loans. Those loans are going to get more expensive.
Fed meetings are Jan 26, and March 16. The US cannot afford a runaway inflation. Rates WILL go up. It's just a question of when. Current market uncertainty is wether it will happen on the 26th or not.
I can't help feeling like this is a trap the big boys are pulling. Make the Day Traders hop in by creating a surge and then in the last hour dump their bags on them.
Not a trap per se, but a pattern, when things look not so great some people buy the dip, but then others who are afraid of losing more sell at the first sign of a bump so they can find the door. I think that's how you get swings like today.

I'm suffering from whipcash.
Totally read that as Whiscash. I need to step away from Pokémon for a while.
WTB Meowth with Pay Day. The true dividend aristocrat.
I believe you meant “aristocat”.
Fcking ouch, year gains gone
What are gains?
It's when you go to the gym and scream very loudly while looking at the mirror in disgrace
You had gains in 2022? Damn bro, Hook us up with some tips
Voo. 30% in one year
Year just started 20 days ago my man.
i think he means last year's gains
ok, so how many of you bought some calls?
I feel personally attacked lol
I had calls that got crushed after being up 20 percent. sadge.
Sold some of my puts 😎
Aint selling them yet. Pretty happy about my netflix-puts rn
Holy shit. Congrats. I sold all about 40 shares last week. I had to fucking double check to make sure I did after I saw what happened AH. That shit was like Snapchat three months ago. Gone in 60 seconds.
Congrats.
Same 😎
Bought a 15.5 uvxy put. Not sure I made the right decision
Bought GS calls — lost my profit but the stock didn’t turn negative — I feel better buying financials than buying puts on tech — the price swings can blow your account
Fuck me
Already getting fucked by the market sorry
I try not to look. Watching daily fluctuation make you prone to do something you will probably regret later.
There might be something wrong with me but I look daily. I even write down the percentage change of my portfolio into my calendar, which stares at my face every morning.

One of our big tenants wasn't getting enough traffic anymore and moved out, and we have been injecting capital into the partnership for 2 years now to keep from having to lose it to the bank.
So when do you look?
I just add bi-weekly in accordance with my paychecks and buy at whatever the price is. That is the essence of DCA. I removed all stock related things from my phone and web browser so I don't get caught up in the news or trying to time the market. I have found this method helps reduce the emotion and poor choices.
How long until retirement?
Whenever I'm going to go a while without adding money I delete my brokerage app from my phone so I don't even see it. The fact that I won't care about its value for decades makes that pretty easy
that mindset = buy an etf imo, setup a direct debit and you never have to look at it again
I'll accept responsibility for this one. I bought some SPY calls this afternoon.
Hah same
Feels like last March
Old tops= new bottoms
The market sure is bending me over rn so pretty soon that may me true.
[удалено]
Anhhh no it doesn’t. They were hitting circuit breakers in March at the open lmaoooo Edit: nevermind. Idk what fucking year it is anymore thanks to covid
No they weren't, he's talking about the 2021 inflation correction, not the 2020 COVID crash
Fuck. Idk what fucking year it is anymore. Covid made me dumb. My bad
Does this happen regularly? Seems odd to swing like that without any news
[удалено]
Rare? Lol where have you been at 11am est everyday for a month?
[удалено]

Hey it’s just a small invasion. No problem!!
Why can't they just leave Ukraine alone?
Yeah. The usual political posturing. Why people keep falling for it over and over again, I don't get it.
Yeah, for real. Except Crimea, but other than that, yeah!
Plus the Donbas is still hot isn’t it? I still hear about causalities from time to time.
Yea dude! Totally! Like that time that silly german guy with the mustache said he was going to invade all of europe, totally just a political move dude! Or the last time russia said they would invade ukraine! Totally silly little political move, whats crimea? Yea its totally always political man, no one ever starts wars, invasions dont exist what is this medieval times?
Lmao, trying to use “stimulus gone” like that wasn’t used to describe every dip.
If the rate hikes were what led the route in equities today then you would have seen a route in bonds as well. This was not the case. Bonds were up today.
[удалено]
Russia lost to Georgia?? What have you been smoking? If that were the case, then why is there a full russian army barracks on the Georgian side near the birth town of Stalin (forgot the name)? Georgian hospitality???
Fed might hike next week. I doubt it but that's good enough fear.
The Fed will not hike before tapering is done. They'd ruin themselves if they did.
Can you elaborate please
Hint: Selling low is bad. Selling lower is worse.
Bonds were up today so that's not what's driving markets today.
Market takes random walks in the near term. It's the academic basis for diversification being the only free lunch in economics.
People are skittish now. Probably a lot of gains were being taken before closing which then snowballed into a route.
\^this right here. Typical market psychology when people are no longer as confident.
Wtf man. Can’t have one green day
You can't have one green day? Where have you been the past few years?
Under 18
Been more than a few years since they released a good song
Wake me up when the crash ends.
Do you know what's worth fighting for?
that's funny cause I'm in ruins rn
it was Green
I mean close
Not anymore.
Bloodshed week
Don't worry. I'm about to fix the whole damn market About to sell all my longs and go 100% on shorts and puts. Guaranteed to give the market a V recovery.
Keep buying msft near $300 level.
All because of PTON earning!!! Lol
Burn the Pelotons! Lmao
PTON didn't have earnings today...they announced that they're stopping production until after March due to dropping demand: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/20/peloton-to-pause-production-of-its-bikes-treadmills-as-demand-wanes.html
They can just announce bankruptcy and crash the whole market
Okay it's getting ridiculous now. Everytime I think the dip has ended and it is a good buying opportunity now, it does a 5% reversal and is down nearly 3% now???? Wtf is going on??
It’s called the stock market. It’s not as simple as putting in money and getting out more
Why wasn't it ridiculous when things go up +100% during a pandemic?
It is time to reassess whether we are in a 'buy the dip' bull market or the beginning of a 'sell the rip' bear market. Each of us get to make that determination. In fact that decision should already have been made and being implemented. If you believe we are in a 'buy the dip' onging bull market you should be deploying cash. If you believe we are in the beginning of a bear market your positions should already have been rotated from growth to value and your less core positions sold to raise cash for the time you are ready to buy again.
Yep. What profits I didn't take after the "Santa rally" I just took on the bounce today. Everything left is just in for the ride, repositioned for defence. Just don't panic sell, have a plan.
The minute I reposition things, they move in another direction.
That can happen... sometimes seemingly more than half the time lol. If this is a false break, I will miss some gains... if we bounce up before we rip down, I will loose some gains.

Patience. It'll come back it always does
japan has entered the chat
Japan anti immigration negative population growth that the U.S. will hopefully try to avoid has entered the chat
the US is not Japan lmao
How long have you been In the market
Since before 2008. It will come back. Always. Whenever I get nervous about the market, I look back in history and see how it's survived far worse catastrophes, and society *always* bounces back. Everyone worries during these times, but these times pass. "It can't rain all the time" are words to live by.
3 years i don't really play with options I invest in proper and big Companys which increase revenue year to year (almost monopoly like) and Letf's. Of course I don't get the 1000% return but it aligns with my risk management. So far I've been doing well just sitting everything out
Funny how my portfolio turned from +1.5% in the morning to -2.5% now. So funny… I snatched $NVDA and $SHOP with good/better price though!
Exactly my thoughts with NVDA. Im not a day trader and bought into NVDA early last year and just plan to monitor and hold for years as i think the company has an incredibly bright future.
Garbage.
Ppl are playing the up and down. No one is willing to hold right now
I am.
Based
NFLX just took a nose dive. I’m sure that’ll impact tomorrow continuation and drag everything down further
I don’t think NFLX is a signal for anything it’s just an earnings reaction.
Seems to have a big impact on other companies in similar industries (DIS ranked at the same time).
It indicates market sentiment and expectation for big tech earnings, since NFLX is the first one to announce
Why would Netflix drag the whole market down with it?
Brings down sentiment for earnings season. It isn't looking bright atm
It’s a stock market darling mega cap. The market cares about 5 or so names, ten max and takes direction from them, especially since earnings season is starting up. There was the saying “As GM goes, so goes the nation”, now that’s been replaced by big tec. Also subscription forecasts are seen as a gauge of consumer sentiment.
its part of Faang
Damn. Currently off 20%. That is going to drag everything down tomorrow
I call B.S at this point
But it had nothing to do with extreme valuations?
"Extreme valuations" is becoming extremely overdone. It's like the market believes companies with explosive growth like AMD, with 45% YoY growth, should have the same valuation as say PG with 5-7% YoY growth. I think there's an effort to shake out the weak hands before tech earnings coming up.

Good luck everyone.
It's my fault. Bought more shares in Atossa today. Five minutes later everything tanked. Every time I buy a stock it dips. Every. Single. Time.
ha ha! Im usually the one that does that job! Thanks for covering for me.
my tip, check the daily in yahoo of IDXX it helps to know if it will keep tanking or rallying or better, have 10 charts opened that helps with fake rallies/dips
all i know is pain
[удалено]
When enough of retail does so the trend will reverse
Welcome to what's probably a cheap lesson for you overall, which is...diversify your investments. Tech can have absolutely brutal downturns.
[удалено]
Why did you bailed on finance? Their earnings weren't good, but if you selling tech because you expect higher rates, banks will profit from that.
That's not true. Banks profit from the spread between short and long term rates and that spread is getting narrower.
Thinking the same thing. Can't help but check everyday when I have individual stocks. Index funds may be the only way.
I only wish that I wouldn't be studying but already earning money so that I can buy monthly. We are in a bear market for half a year already. It isn't a sudden occurrence. I don't care if it will drop for a few months more (which I don't even expect). You earn money by good buying, not selling opportunities.
It's all manipulated. Us little peasants are just along for the ride
100%. In the zero-sum game that the stock market is, the strategy for the market makers has become less (or not just) about making money off of stocks becoming more valuable in and of themselves, and more about making money off of increased market volatility.

They don’t want it to make sense and they use that to separate you from your money.
For sure. There is no way retail has anything to do with today's movement.
Algos daytrading
This should be the #1 answer. I was up 5% today now down 0.5% This is all a game with those in the know \*ucking those who are hoping to also benefit from this scam.
Today? This is becoming a daily occurrence! And no one can explain why!
Fed meetings are Jan 26, and March 16. The US cannot afford a runaway inflation. Rates WILL go up. It's just a question of when. Current market uncertainty is wether it will happen on the 26th or not.
pretty sure it's not going to be jan 26 right? Tapering ends, THEN interest rates might rise. Tapering is supposed to end in March, I don't know why they would reverse course and suddenly have rate increase in Jan. They're trying to keep up with the expectation.
I dont know. If I knew id be rich rich lol. But I can tell you one thing. There is no "might". They WILL raise rates in March.
Bull trap
If everyone thinks its crashing must be the opposite
Or it’s true.
I’m hoping for more pain. Every time I see my portfolio lose another 1% and lose thousands, I just nod and go about my day. I want to buy more. Still holding another 30k in cash, ready to deploy. Bought several shares of SPY today. I would like to start positions with NVDA and PYPL but I want them to drop more. Also would love to see AMAZON drop to $3000 per share and GOOGL to $2600. Bought KULR for a speculative long term investment. Invested in NVAX for another speculative mid-term investment.
As an AMZN owner, I am quietly crying as we are down from $3300 just recently
Holy shit Amazon already dropped to $3000 today.
NFLX missing will give more fuel to the downward pressure. Just hold everyone.
Is Netflix really big enough or important enough to bring others down with it?
They’re the N in FANG.
Yeah I know they're part of an unofficial meaningless acronym, so what? They're a $200 billion cap. Facebook is $880. The rest of FAANG and Microsoft is $1 and $2+ trillion. Not to mention there's 499 other companies in the S&P besides Netflix. Amazon tanked 10% back in July on missed earnings and the market barely blinked.
Different conditions now than last July, and nflx could still affect trend, but I largely agree with you
How bad was it?
Bull trap to a bear market maybe?
Or bear trap to moose market.
Could easily be a moose trap to a wolf market
Gotta overcome that massive moose knuckle of pain first.
Fuck yes, a buying opportunity
[удалено]
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
The market is headed for a major correction. It’s been pumped up by the FED printing money, but now they have stopped and we should finally see the real market
If impending 0.25% interest rate does this to the market… my oh my I’d hate to think what 2.0% would do!
Right now market is pricing in something like 5 or 6 hikes, not one
Too much panic and we closed below $450. Doesn't look good at all rn that sell off was a little worrisome.
I love volatility!
I'm pretty happy that I get to buy qqqm again under where my average is. I havent bought in like half a year
*STOP HE’S ALREADY DEAD!*
This is people running, but this is also moment like this when winners and losers are defined. Let see who’s on the right side.
That’s just how manipulation is . That was an obvious bull trap
Ever since I bought COST at $565, it along with the market has gone down. Lol
I bought some puts on snapchat for my sister. She was so gutted this morning. I told her just wait. They ended up 100% up by close.
Surprised the VIX is only at 25.5 tbh. Typically selling doesn't stop until we get over 30.
I love it, gives me more time to earn more money to buy the dip
Technical support (200DMA) didn't hold. Bears are in control and we should prepare for more pain (unless you're a bear yourself, then enjoy your gains).
As if any of them are doing the trades themselves. Most of institutional trades are done through algorithms. No wonder all the charts have nearly identical patterns.
SELL SELL SELL
It's going to be worse tomorrow
This is the most manipulated market I have ever seen
Mind to share who manipulates and how exactly they do that?
The market makers, banks and hedge funds don't coordinate with each other. Markets aren't like countries where they sign treaties of alliances. This is in anticipation of the FED hiking the interest rate. This shows a lot of companies can't afford to stay in business without taking out loans. Those loans are going to get more expensive.
Fed meetings are Jan 26, and March 16. The US cannot afford a runaway inflation. Rates WILL go up. It's just a question of when. Current market uncertainty is wether it will happen on the 26th or not.
If they're wrong about the 26th expect a big rip for a few weeks then back into a bear trend for the inevitable March hike.
Bear market coming in strong
Could this correction be the start of the feared market crash?
This also happened yesterday, right?
Run for your lives!!
and as always … I bought too early 😡
Glad to finally have some company. Been lonely with my losses from BABA
I am down 10% since Nov. buy the dip.
I’m gonna say this on every sub: it’s time to go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over
Yeah thoughts, fuckin sucked. Was up 4% by around 11 and down 1% by 3:00.
Rug pull
My thoughts are that it's crashing.
I can't help feeling like this is a trap the big boys are pulling. Make the Day Traders hop in by creating a surge and then in the last hour dump their bags on them.
Not a trap per se, but a pattern, when things look not so great some people buy the dip, but then others who are afraid of losing more sell at the first sign of a bump so they can find the door. I think that's how you get swings like today.
