I'm scheduled to replace my 2021 iPhone 13 Pro Max by 2023. So I will be benefiting from an Apple-designed 5G modem.

@Cow Moo-ney : It’s okay if your portfolio tanks
Your portfolio will bounce back. If it doesn’t, money can be earned back. We should feel fortunate that we are not in the affected countries now. Lives that are lost will never come back.

@no_totti_no_party : So is it an “Everything Bubble” or Inflation

What if the reason all the stocks have been up isn’t because it’s one giant bubble, but instead is inflation hitting the stock market? We all know that corporations got the vast majority of bailouts from the Fed these last three years (or last decade, really), so where did all that new cash go? Read more...

•Mooers comment
@Mr VWAP :
$BABA-SW(09988.HK)$ baba failed to break a major resistance 108. a prior support now became a major resistance. Large buyers who previously bought at 108 are desperately trying to unwind their position, thus making 108 a resistance. without any new positive news from baba, it is unlikely to break above 108.

  • HopeAlways :

  • steady Pom pipi : Major events in the international community are bound to cause a sharp fall in the stock market. Investing in stocks should retain part of the funds to deal with emergencies and take advantage of potential stocks.TongueTongueTongue

  • Lin_H : Ok

  • HopeAlways : The stock market is going down again with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The conflict that extends beyond words has made investors jittery. The potential aftermath of economic sanctions and increased global tension will not help matters either. There are some important lessons that investors can learn from risk-off environments of the past. For one thing, they do not last forever.  They can even prevent great buying opportunities for quality stocks that are well- positioned to come back strongly. In the near to short term, stocks are likely to continue to come under strong selling pressure following surge in oil prices after Russia puts its troops nuclear-ready amid harsh sanctions on its banking system by the West. Nevertheless, investors should ignore the noise and stay put with the current investments and use the current dip to buy fundamentally strong stocks in a staggered manner. In times of war, it pays not to let a good investing opportunity go begging.

  • Syuee : Yes, the war has hit the stock market and it may continue to fall into deeper correction.

    One of the reasons why stocks are going down is because the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is going to affect the dollar, but mostly oil because Russia is the second biggest supplier of oil and the U.S gets a lot of its oil from Russia.

    The US economy is already not on its best legs because of the pandemic and now because of rising inflation the FED has announced that they may raise interest rates sooner than they had expected. The stock market hates all of this.

    Ramifications of war impact supply chain, profit of companies go down which will reflect on the stock market.

    And while war can be “good” ($Lockheed Martin (LMT.US)$) for certain sectors of the economy, it is not good for the economy as a whole, particularly in a consumer-driven economy like the US.

    Investors should stay invested if they have a longer-term investment plan. On the other hand, the big correction will give an opportunity to investors to pick up good quality stocks at attractive levels.

    Prudent investors should consider to wait and watch the unfolding situation before taking up any major commitments.

  • HopeAlways Syuee: After a precipitous fall, especially due to warlike scenarios, headline indices together with top-tier market leading companies with strong fundamentals tend to be quick to recover and generate decent returns for investors. Such scenarios like the current Russia-Ukraine crisis create much needed correction in a structural bull market and present a good opportunity to long term investors to allocate additional capital in stocks to grow their portfolios.

  • VCSuccess HopeAlways: This is a very sentiment driven market right now, and stock fundamentals are now taking a back seat.

  • VCSuccess HopeAlways:

  • VCSuccess HopeAlways: As disastrous and disorienting as the impact of the war might be, the best course of action for most investors now is to keep calm and carry on.

  • 101767718 HopeAlways: It's wise to ignore such market noise and stay focus on one's investments with high quality stocks for the long term.
