Shockwave Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yea I'm totally in cash in all my trading accounts. I make my small day trades and scalps. Although I did make a nice chunk on a Coinbase put I bought on Friday afternoon right before the close and held it over the weekend. Had a feeling this morning would be bloody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combination of the Delta variant, inflation fears, FED considering tightening, OPEC+ increasing barrels per day, and an extremely overbought and overheated market that was overdue for a correction. That said I'm not putting any capital to work yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually needed this. Gives me a chance to buy more and buy at a lower rate as I switch accounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Yea I do the weekly thing too. But everything just seems so overbought and overvalued right now I can't square putting capital to work right now. The EPS on most equities is ridiculous. I'm waiting for a 10-20% pullback before I put capital to work. I'm perfectly comfortable just keeping assets in cash until I feel the market has corrected enough.

rickyt31 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 I can't argue about being overvalued. A lot of renewable energy stocks are way up there. It wouldn't surprise me if we have a red week with all the different factors into play. A company I'm hoping drops is ChargePoint. They are pretty heavy here in Atlanta. If they don't drop low enough, I may go with EvGo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 lol Never mind, I was just put on to NUVVE & Volta. I have to spend tonight doing research on which company I love long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I wish I could buy into Apple and Disney. Something is going on with Samsung and they stopped shipping their phones, so there aren't a lot of upgrades available. So a lot of people maybe switching over to Apple. That on top of the possibility of landing A24 could really make this jump by the fall ER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Not really stock investing per se, but anybody care to weigh in on the best way to store ~$20k for ~6 months and collect a bit of interest? Everything "safe" seems pretty much like a waste of time right now. But i'm not really looking to fold it into a bunch of speculative investment or anything. Just annoying to have it sit there doing nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just annoying to have it sit there doing nothing. A high yield savings account is safe and guaranteed. Although the rates aren’t great right now. Anything you put into stocks you have to be prepared to lose. I’m guessing this is a house down payment and that isn’t something that I’d personally gamble with. If you want to YOLO it, buy GME. This is not financial advice of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I thought the sell off on Monday was the beginning of a nice correction but the market recovered remarkably. My advice is to sit and wait. While the market can be quite stubborn. The last thing you want to do is establish new positions here at all time highs. Certain brokers like Fidelity pay a dividend on liquid cash in their accounts. I'd look into that and wait for a significant pullback before putting capital to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i were financially prudent enough for it to be a house down payment lol, but instead...it's more like..."**** i hate what i do, i'm going back to school" money. Because the only solution to overeducation, is more education maybe. Would be nice to do capitalism and "put my money to work", to pad stuff out a little bit. But just kinda seems like any of the high yield savings, GICs, etc and anything else stable or mostly safe are basically a waste of time right now. 6 month yield is basically a bottle of tequila. So that's the plan i guess. Gonna arrange my finances around a bottle of tequila i'll celebrate with whenever i graduate again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
