Ok so I’ve saved up a bunch of cash, earning a very low 2.5% per year in a savings account. I’ve been waiting to buy into a low cost SP500 ETF. I know it’s bad to think one can “time” the market, but on the other hand there are lots of doomsayers saying doom is nigh. They say the market will continue to go down
On the other hand, isn’t my money being devalued by inflation? So, doesn’t it make sense to buy stock now? Even if it goes down, it’s going to go down if I keep it as cash, too
- Just buy Tesla stock. Why dilute. Look at their robot - in 5 years time it will be a game changer. Tesla = factory technology, that's their moat and USPshapesalad
- Compare boston dynamics to Tesla bot. Once is cost effective, can be made in the millions and has AI. The other is made in a small number, is pre programmed noshapesalad
- AI and very costly. Yes one looks advanced and can do parkour, but we don't need that. We need something to do boring jobs in factories 24/7/365shapesalad
- The amount it’s going down as cash value is not very significant. If you can afford to not have it as spending money you can consider investingmonospaced
- But a 2.5% year savings interest rate is really really really good for a savings account.monospaced
- I wish I knew the right thing to invest in right now. I bet a mid level UI designer in Eastern Europe might have the best advice. Lol.monospaced
- I'm actually Lead UX/UI and I recommend staing in cashgrafician
- With the uncertainty of the global market, you should probably stick with the 2.5% interest rates of your savings account.utopian
- That is pretty amazing for a savings account! Where do you get that?
Wait a few months then DCA into VOO. Set some GTC orders and be done.formed - 2.5% is from SoFi. There’s no limit to size of the account which is amazing. You need direct deposit but it can be a tiny amount, even $1 if you want.nb

Stocks aren't doing well
- Yup, hopefully people sold enough to have a lot of cash on hand. It's going down from here.formed
- There is always eventually a rebound.monospaced
- i think bonds are a buy again though! go bonds and then switch back to stocks in 3-6 months when the selling is over.sarahfailin
- only cash
no stocks rngrafician - annual inflation rate around 2% rn so manageable
holding tech stocks rn is hellgrafician - but trade commodities if you're into that, largest returns, even dailygrafician

Stock Split Effected in Form of Stock Dividend (“Stock Split”)
Alphabet today announced that the Board of Directors had approved and declared a 20-for-one stock split (the
“Stock Split”) in the form of a one-time special stock dividend on each share of the Company’s Class A, Class B,
and Class C stock. The Stock Split is subject to stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A, Class B, and
Class C stock to accommodate the Stock Split.
If approval is obtained, each of the Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2022 (the
“Record Date”), will receive, after the close of business on July 15, 2022, a dividend of 19 additional shares of the
same class of stock for every share held by such stockholder as of the Record Date.- subject to stockholder approval, If approval is obtained stockholders on July 1, 2022 will receive 19 additional shares on July 15. for every share heldsted
- About time.monospaced
- anyone here own Goog/Alphabet? Good time to get in?inteliboy
- Yes and yes.doublespaced
- I'd look at MSFT or AAPL if you're going for bluechip tech stocks, they pay dividends so growth or no growth you still win.zarkonite
- that being said, I've had GOOG in my folio since the IPO and I ain't never letting go!zarkonite
- Dividends aren’t much to write home about. Wouldn’t call them a “win” in a serious sense.monospaced
- "Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway will make about $700 million annually on Apple’s dividend alone"
https://cnb.cx/35Jl9…grafician - lol, they have like hundreds of millions of shares ... it's still a 0.5% yield annually ... which isn't much dudemonospaced
- If you have Billions in Apple holdings, then that's $700 million. But for most people, it's not that, OBVIOUSLY.monospaced
- Trillions even. LOL @ using that as an example.monospaced
- Principle still stands. You're again proven to be an idiot.grafician
- But just so you know next time, tech stocks have very low yields, if even paying dividends. While Coke Co. pays 2.75%grafician
- IF you're interested in getting something like 20% overall, here you go: https://news.yahoo.c…grafician
- 20% AAAHAH AHA HAHA fucking math genius.sted

- The market more than doubled in 5 years, if you had been bullish this whole time you'd be laughing at this minor bump in the road...zarkonite
- It doubled THIS last year dude.monospaced

- lol its clearly says 11:00 (+yearly chart shows month/year at the end)sted
- The ego is strong with this one.
There are at least 3 photos of Jessica Alba on every single page.utopian - Ok, but there is also a fat green line under the 1 Year filternb
- I mean I get it. If I look at all the tiny grey numbers it makes sense. But that fat green line! It’s called UX vs UI look it upnb
- yeah if you set the chart on a new stock to yearly it will look like this. google just predicts the stocks future and it's always a crash.sted
- Closed at 43instrmntl
- I agree. those buttons should only show up if the span is available for that stock. Lazy programming.dbloc
- I don’t care what the button says. It’s a 3 hour chart.monospaced

- Etsy? May I ask what your thinking was, and if that's one of the ones that made you a profit?detritus
- I read an article on Etsy, forgot what it was about, but it said that they are on the road to becoming X billion dollar company. So I was like why not?ArmandoEstrada
- Huh. I've read pretty much the opposite, and was talking with someone just the other day about how it's the sort of company that shouldnt've ever IPO'd ...detritus

I wish I still tracked shares, I'd be curious to see how it goes over the years.
Thanks for answering —good luck!detritus - Don’t listen to or read analyst predictions on the internet. Took me a decade to figure that out. Invest in what you understand best.monospaced

Nvidia's $40 billion acquisition of Arm has failed, and only an official announcement confirming the same is pending.
It might happen later today.
I'm going to grab the short side on 220-219.

Show proof of me stalking or harassing a QBN member now.
This is a calculator for dividends, it will shows almost the same numbers like i did with a quick calc in excel:
- *like i gotsted
- Oh please. With aapl Even a $100k holding only gives you $500. Thats NOT something to write home about and I’m neither an idiot nor wrong for saying so.monospaced
- Just because one guy has hundreds of billions in Apple and gets a big div payout does NOT prove me wrong. He’s the 1% of the 1% ffs.monospaced
- If you compare div returns to regular returns, it’s pathetic. It’s not a “win either way”monospaced
- AAPL has an expected price increase more than 10% so ~100k with 600 shares gives you 1,341.07/yearsted
- at a 10 year hold, ~524.37 for a year.sted
- that's right there is a plenty of brokers, individuals investing in these stocks with 1-10 mill, 600 shares aren't a lot, compared to the 16,319 million out.sted
- Geezas for AAPL just for last year the institutional ownership history traffic shows 6,276 entries. it has 5750 registered stakeholders :Dsted

- How did AMC become such a meme stock anyway. They're not that much of a joke. What am I missing?CyBrainX
- doesn't necessarily need to be a joke. AMC was down a lot because theaters were closed during the pandemic. Then WSB got on it for a squeezeNBQ00
- They didn’t like that the company was already failing before covid, and that covid might finish it off. So the nerds rallied behind stock. Funny.monospaced
- Same thing with GameStop, which was already poised to go under, the nerds just wanted their video games and marvel universe. That’s it.monospaced
- But most importantly, they didn’t like that hedge funds were shorting them en made, making millions from their demise, and then did the same thing. Hypocrites.monospaced
- Funny thing is that nothing holds back those Hedgies to play both sides...sted

GME in action again:
Ross makes a clean $100k+ on it

Is there anything other than GameStop that isn't going down today?? Traditionally bonds go up when stocks go down. Today there are significant drops in stocks, bonds, metals, and even the dollar index!
Hide your stocks, hide your bonds, they're selling everything out here!

In all seriousness, though, it seems to me airline and other travel industry-related stocks would be good to buy and hold in anticipation of post-Covid recovery in the next 12-18 months.
- Or, at least, the beginnings of a recovery.Continuity
- Vanguard JETS is a good ETF that is an airline index. Protects against single stock picking but tracks the industryDaveO
- i know a few people in the tourism industry here. they all anticipate some movement in the summer. not before that.renderedred
- there's opportunity with GE and Boeing right now, both of which took huge hits recently.monospaced
- Nice, DaveO, I'll check it out.Continuity
- as far as i gathered there will be strict regulations who can travel and where.renderedred
- Gnnn. Like all ETFs on eToro, it's a fucking CFD.Continuity
- @mono, I wonder how long it will take Boeing to recover, especially after the 737 Max fiasco. The stock's been more or less flat since March '20.Continuity
- Yes, good to wonder. Their success hinges on commercial travel picking up. The 737 fiasco is in the past, so there is possibly nowhere to go but up, so they saymonospaced
- Personally, I think putting money in both GE and Boeing is a good way to invest in air travel while hedging your own bets. Long term, btw.monospaced
