    the problem with the world view of just buying Index funds is that it assumes the world is going to be exactly the same as it has been for the last almost 40 years of low inflation which means stocks go up forever but just cause something happened for 40 years doesn't mean it will be that way forever

    globalization and cheap energy fueled this low inflation which could be reversing

    to the boomers 40 years is most their adult life so they know nothing else

    there have been plenty of lost decades in equities before, if you happen to retire at the wrong time you could be f***ed

    index funds and blue chip stocks aren't a bad investment but they aren't a sure thing like many assume, probably better to diversify.. the big Indexes are so heavily weighted towards blue chip stocks it's basically all you own

    in periods of stagnation not high inflation gold has done very well, usually alternative asset classes do (bitcoin)

    The problem is that people have unrealistic expectations. Market has historicall returned 10% a year and most people can't pick stocks too well when we aren't in a huge bull run.

    Mean reversion is real, just takes a long time

    Stocks should be bought anywhere until around +1 Standard Deviation from the mean and definitely sold around +2 SD's

    This helped me a lot to sell a ton last year

    When this rally cools off a bit, go to say 3900s in the S&P500, I will get a lot more invested, majority cash. But likely use it to trade until 4300 or so. If we continue to drop to retest lows or new lows, I will put the last piece in

    I think your last sentence is off base. Yes, unfortunately, the space is currently rife with scams and grifters but it's not by design. I suspect improvements around dealing with scams and better security measures will abound as time progresses. To collapse the entire crypto sector into a pyramid scheme just shows you are lacking depth in the area. I find that when a person starts speaking in absolutes about a topic, they usually don't know what they are talking about. I think nuance is important when discussing technology like this.

    The technology underlying NFT's is not inherently tied to the popular art use cases we see today - see ethereum.org/en/nft. It's actually comical how many potential use cases there are for NFT's and yet only jpegs capture most of the mindshare. I implore you to take a look at the good work being done over at POAP - poap.xyz, ENS - ens.domains, and Royal - royal.io for example. It may change your narrow outlook on the space.

    I think art focused NFT's, especially pfp ones, will continue serving their purpose for those small sector of people who want to invest in them (small in relation to the global population). However, I think NFT's with much broader and more useful applications will prevail over time in terms of number of people using them.

    The problem is Mr. Armchair Quarterback is that you are never wrong

    Your scenario quickly changes if you aren't the perfect trader (you're not)

    Those same emotions exist whether you're "trading" or "holding"

    Plus you never mention taxes on your hypothetical perfect sell high opportunities at the top

    The tax goblin is even worse than the gains goblin

    That's why you never sell if you're smart

    Not to mention once again you have to "time the market" to buy back in

    But no worries for you of course, since you're the best long-term holder/part-time trader we've ever seen

  • Aug 3, 2022

    A lot of hypotheticals. If the S&P cools. If it goes to 4,300. I'm not buying with my "dry powder" until new lows!

    Damn that's some cool market lingo

    Let me guess, none of the scenarios will play out, yet somehow you're magically back 100% invested back into the market. Because? Reasons.

    Laughable. Go play the powerball

    I am not going to tolerate this type of disrespect from a random

    Go look back at all my posts and go back to KTT1

    Sold out as alts started to roll over in late 17 and early 18 and when it was clear the bubble was over

    Bought alts in 2020, no I didn't catch the bottom, but made multiples and sold in 21 Spring and Fall

    Kept about 15% of my holdings and then sold this year on a bounce in the spring besides some btc

    I was literally 85% or so cash and then bought some stocks in March and May, pushing me to about 30/70

    I wish I had bought a ton in June to flip, I didn't, o well

    Just waiting to see what happens now

    If we keep on rising in the stock market, I will soon be positive YTD and flip a lot of stuff on this monster rally

    If we fall lower, going to start to get more invested
