    Put in an order for $500 worth of VTSAX here at the end. I'm going to buy on the way down if we keep moving down.

    Yeah, I'm between 65-70% in US indexes between S&P, mid, small and total stock. My best long term stock holding today was IEMG at -5.3%.

    I'm not going to touch it for years so it's not that big of a deal, it just is not enjoyable. I decided to do 75% VTSAX, 15% this thread, 10% cash.

    At least the Cash broke even today

    Holding 300 was a good sign, but the Vix keeps rising as does the VVIX which means more chop ahead for the next couple weeks

    Scott Minard just called for a low of 1,600 on the S&P. That's about 16,000 on the DOW I think.

    Maybe? I have no idea. Trying to find the narrative has proven to be a futile attempt thus far. Institutional money staying in seems like enough math to provide some type of a floor though

    Is this thread about to lose half its posters like the reddit subs?

    https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/...ities/treasury-securities-operational-details

    Fun story: I somehow was GREEN this morning at open. Looked at shit dropping all night and dreaded morning. Actually woke up in the middle of the night and checked and futures were down even more. Woke up 30 minutes before open; somehow almost no volume had traded in PEP. Like 20k volume. This is a heavily traded stock. It ballooned up a full $1 at open and put my calls in the green by $4 a contract. It then immediately nosedived with everything else for the rest of the day. By day's end the contracts were worth $5 each.

    I like that one that was +9.29 the next day. I'm thinking more like +13 though.

    EDIT: Oh, that one just happened this March. Nice.

    lol re read my post, I said get back to even. Most of what I’m holding I bought in the high 17s/share right before this rally happened...then I added a little bit this morning to bring my average cost to like 15.90/share...so yes I could have sold today and taken a smaller loss, but I basically already counted this money out and will ride it out.

    I still think there’s one more big dip left in the tank.

    No option. Just own the ETF shares so can ride this as long as I want. The last few weeks I had debating just selling and taking an L...but now I’ll hold on. Even if we can get half of the dip in March I’ll sell probably.

    I’m one of those bored gamblers described in the tweet above.
