The Official Stock Market Thread

Run it hot is the theme of the weekend.

[NYBBFAN]

Looks wobbly here. Still haven’t redeployed my cash after selling my SPY shares.

[finfangfan]

Disney getting crushed. I actually cancelled my Dis+ subscription yesterday after seeing the one year renewal was $200+

[KhalDrogo]

Opportunities abound.

[KhalDrogo]

This is the kind of decline you like to see. A harsh sell-off in the face of earnings and guidance smashes across the board.

[NYBBFAN]

Probably a lot of chop until NVDA earnings.

[patchgenie]

never would have guessed CDTX would go for 200. can't imagine people using this over the flu shot.

[KhalDrogo]

Bought TSLA, HOOD, FBTC, and FETH at the pre-market flush.

[eastbayak]

"Berkshire Hathaway revealed a $4.3 billion stake in Google parent Alphabet and further reduced its stake in Apple, detailing its equity portfolio for the last time before Warren Buffett ​ends his 60-year run as chief executive officer."

Unsure how much they had in the previous quarter/year BUT am happy to know this!

Put a good amount of cash into GOOGL a month or two ago for a long-term hold (unless need $ for something else) position.

I added VNDA.

Reduces the rate of vomiting/nausea for GLP1's. I think it should be similar in value to AMLX, which bought EIGR gastroparesis drug out of bankruptcy. VNDA could potentially use the drug they have for gastroparesis too???

Opened up some META positions. I want to vomit.

Yeesh. This morning was quite a trap. Will you cut them loose before NVDA earnings?

I don’t day trade anything. I’ll short term trade good setups. But that is a very small portion of my trading activity.

I mostly invest long-term (1+ years) in great companies with a long track record of success. This is intended to start a long-term position, but I’d cut in the mid-term if the return is good enough (I hate Zuck). META has been beat to #@#@#@#@ lately and the forward multiple is ridiculous.

[KhalDrogo]

Another huge dump!

[NYBBFAN]

160 SPX points from peak to trough today. That’s gotta hurt!

Made my annual IRA contribution a few days ago and dumped all $7k in WMT.

[KhalDrogo]

If the weekly SMA20 on the S&P breaks here, we might see 6150.

[pejc300]

I put a huge stack of money in a bond fund to be safe (annual return was 8%) as my financial advisor told me it would be good there as opposed to getting 4% in money market. It's down about 5k in the last two days. I had projected stocks would be going down, and I thought bonds were safer when stocks go down. What the hell lol

That's quite a drop

Quite the opportunity. I’d prefer the first half of 2026 to be weak so I can get all my 401k contributions in low.

[NYBBFAN]

6456 is allegedly the supply zone. That’s at least a nearby cushion.

What bond fund? The majority of them will be affected by the Fed’s December decision.

If you’re clipping the coupon at 8%, the value of the fund should be less important.

[Josh611]

I don’t remember the exact data point, but the S&P makes its high for the year in January or December over 60% of the time.

Don’t be surprised when it hits a new high in December. Barely down now.

For the guy looking at the value of a bond. You locked in 8%. Why even bother checking the value of it? It’s a paper loss that doesn’t matter if you hold to maturity. That goes to a lot of the people checking retirement accounts or money they don’t need now. Just let it do its thing and don’t get caught up in the day to day.

[KhalDrogo]

Super pissed at the premarket rebound over the last 45 minutes. Can’t trade on Fidelity until 7ET. Nasdaq was down 85 points when I woke up. Now green. Booo!

He put it in a bond fund, not a bond. So it’s not a locked in rate. Maybe the 8% was last year’s return. Or the return YTD at the time of the purchase. The 8% tells you there’s far more risk than just buying treasuries.
