I'm not sure you're really up for this sort of thing. Active trading really isn't for everyone. I used to control my own portfolio but not any more. It's too complicated; my anxiety is too high; and it just seems a waste of time because I'm not going to beat the market.I panic sold my puts yesterday. Crying.
Probably but I am only doing a small amount of what I have gained and won’t do more.I'm not sure you're really up for this sort of thing. Active trading really isn't for everyone.

Wish I was only down 5% bro. That's pretty good in all this craziness, although I'm guessing after today you're down a little more. I finally got the courage to even look at my accounts yesterday and I was down about 10%, but no telling what today did to me. I can't look until another rally happens. At the end of the day I think Trump will soon be back to golfing and not giving a fuck instead of trying to be a hero and failing. Probably just wishful thinking.Yes, but I'm still down almost 5% on the year.
I'm down 3% from my yearly high back on 2/25... but I have had 40% in cash paying 4% to offset my widow and orphan stock losses .
I have been an investor for 40 years and this is the first time I've been completely perplexed as to what to do...
go all cash ?
bottom fish to pick up bargains ?
do nothing ?
I think I will follow the advice of the great Merle Haggard and just stay here and drink
1. Nobody knows. Literally nobody.My money market is just 3.60 - Ally. I'm seeing some short-term CDs with fantastic rates, like 4.5% for 3 months, 4.5% for 6 months.
Are CD rates going to change soon?
I'm in a Fidelity MM paying 4.16% which I have been keeping in a Roth IRA account as a municipal bond proxy that is liquid should there be a total bloodbath in the bond markets.My money market is just 3.60 - Ally.

And then inflation has liftoff!10 year Treasury still rising, nowup to 4.563
If this keeps going uo, Trump will have to cave again or threaten to fire Powell for not lowereing interest rates.
Oh hell no. Trump would likely appoint Jim Cramer to chair the Fed. Cramer is famous from being on TV (which Trump believes is the ultimate qualification) and he is pals with Navarro.10 year Treasury still rising, nowup to 4.563

Jim Cramer is too qualified per your accurate second sentence. A better analogy would be Ron Paul.Oh hell no. Trump would likely appoint Jim Cramer to chair the Fed. Cramer is famous from being on TV (which Trump believes is the ultimate qualification) and he is pals with Navarro.
Seriously, Trump has managed to find the least qualified, most objectionable assholes for basically every job (Kash Patel, RFK Jr, Hegseth, Linda McMahon) so can you imagine him appointing a new Fed chair in the middle of this meltdown?
