Mortgage rates are back to where they were in August – this ain’t going to move anything that much. There’s no boom coming from a short-term fluctuation in the 10Y treasury.
Also buying vix options is a good way to triple your 20 dollars and then lose it all over the next week, although I’m guessing you’ll have a bit of fun doing it.
Yeah, I hear the same thing about trading FX. But truth is, I’ve just doubled my account again in the last two and a half weeks. So, you’ll have to excuse me while I pay all my bills with money I made while I was asleep.
“Why is everyone yelling to buy the dip? the sp500 is at the same level as it was 3 weeks ago.”
Because it is possible just a short term dip. Risk appetite declined in uncertainty; the market value of equities is repressed. So, if you believe that market will return to normal volatility conditions soon, there will be a better than average stock price recovery.
Is this time the real Mc’coy? I am not sure. But, what I am sure of, is that, I would be liquidating every asset I’ve ever owned and be buying the currency of any country that runs a current account surplus (Japan).
I likely underestimated, going to trim a few positions I have that haven’t gone down as much, shore up some weaker positions with some of it, allocate the rest next month.
Got to stick to buying undervalued securities as they arise and sell when they’re overvalued. I definitely got lazy on selling and paying for it now, along with many others.
No joke, I’ve been buying small increments of 2x long ETFs. I’m using my own money to prove ohai wrong. Five years from now, I will have lost my money, but won the war.
Do you have any losses you could realize to offset the gains? I’m only saying that because the opportunity you most likely have in front of you to decimate your cost basis is YUGE.
Also, please make this the official recession 2020 thread from now on. Thank you.
