Blood on the street. Nvidia was down 15% the I checked this morning.
Went below my target price for buying some more....would like to see it stabilize a bit.
 
Sam Altman is probably glad today that OpebAI is npt a publicly-traded company, They would be down 40% or more. This could end up helpring Meta, Amz, and even MSFT, Some of the tech companies like CRM are up day (they do AI agenta) and cheaper means more people wlll use AI esp if LLMs become commoditized and those putting stuff on topo of the LLM will benefit. Chip stocks are going away either since they are everywhere except physically in my brain (and who knows one day thgere)
 
Where's the bond market going to go. I did the BogleHead thing a decade ago, put a good chunk for my age and profile into BND and BND is down 13% or something since then. It sucks to be an index investor and see one of your big picks such a laggard.

Where is this going in the next 5 yrs?

def hurts when your 'safe' investment is the one that has gone down
 
When you can get 4-5% on guaranteed Treasuries or almost guaranteed money market accounts, tough to justify buying bonds, certain stocks where the primary appeal is the divident or divedend appreciation mutial funds/etfs

When interest rates start going down consistently, will be an excellent time to be in bonds.

It's a weird world when there are FOUR leveraged ETFs for a single traded company. The number of features or products in the financial world is ridiculous, and the amount of money and effort just in the infrastructure for them seems nonsensical since it feels so speculative.

I'd love to see a pie chart of the size of the US financial industry today compared to other economies AND past civilizations.

Banking probably isn't too tough but investing/speculation is probably hard to calc back in medieval era for example. Maybe we'd find the 40's gold rush to be huge proportionally or something unexpected.

I agree

I have $380,000 parked in my Roth IRA paying 4.19%. The interest payment is comparable to a 10 year treasury. The price volatility is nil, and the income is tax free.

No reason to buy bonds in this uncertain environment
 
I moved 2/3 of my retirement (the part that is in a target index) to a much more conservative index for the next 3 months. Not pulling out of the market, but I wanted something more conservative because I just dont feel good about the coming quarter of news. Maybe it drops a bit by then and I buy back into the original index. Or maybe I just miss a couple of points of growth in the short term, but I feel better with it a little safer
