In a weird war, war will likely help with the tech correction we've been due by increasing demand for manufacturers. Very likely we will be selling a lot of war technology to our Allies over the next several months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely do I hold them long term though. Glad to see someone else that dabbles with them. Are you buying them or selling them? Do you trade single contracts. spreads, condors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very real chance that Chelsea FC is entirely frozen, and not off the table that it's seized if this continues to escalate. Sounds to me like doing this would absolutely crush Russia but would also cause a huge system shock to Germany and any other countries that get their energy from them. Essentially it would freeze all abilities to make any payment into or out of Russia. But if it would stop them in their tracks and save Kiev... I think the short term pain is worth it. The markets on the other hand...would absolutely tank on the news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west has been pretty clear (and for the most part, accurate) on what Russia's immediate plans are, so the markets have had a few weeks leeway to get into favorable positions accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to quantify or predict how the collective mind of the market will react is never easy. But I think that stunning reversal yesterday after the noon press conference was in response to the sanctions coming in lighter then what the market was anticipating. Granted the sanctions that have been implemented are harsh, the market seemed happy that the SWIFT option was not (yet). I'm pretty heavily invested at this point so I hope you are right that it's priced in 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staple for a Roth IRA. SPLG: SP500 ETF with dirt cheap expense ratio and has actually beaten, albeit slightly, both SPY and VOO in the past five years. QQQM: A new version of QQQ with a lower expense ratio. SARK: Inverse of ARKK. Good for short-term holds. SCHP: Anti-inflation bonds with cheap expense ratio. Good place to put some of your emergency fund these days. IAU: Gold. Another good place to put some of your emergency fund. Expense ratio is a little high, but not horrible.

Whenever that will be; you have to imagine it's inevitable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
