i have lost fortunes because equities crash suddenly. as shown in movie batman dark knight returns


many people,like me, run into the market when it goes up, and think themselves smart. they are proven fools when the markets fall to zero overnight, like me.



please, please, stay out of the stock market. thanks. in the future you will remember me, and all of you should have stayed out of the stock market

I liked to look at BTC when corona has hit, it was fun pestering my dad who hated cryptos that Bitcoin has risen from ashes once more. :P

stock talk in zero K forums? time to sell!

Wonder what people were saying after 2008 crash or the dotcom crash ...

I do agree though not to buy when market is going up.

But you can buy ETF-s when is going down and you should sell when is going up. And you must do this only if you are able to afford to hold a position until it goes back up - which can be months or years, not gamble your rent money.

Firepluk: the way I see it there are 2 options:
- it does not last too long, everything crashes and burns, you will not have much utility for your cash anyway (inflanation, nationalization, etc.).
- things continue with some adjustments, in which case if you invested (at the right time, now is a bit passed already) you might get some return.

I would select first scenario only if I am living in a cold country where I can use my cash for heat :-p.

Kshatriya: as I am not a trader, prefer ETF-s as they are "simpler" and I need to "follow" them less.

[GBC]1v0ry_k1ng: probably population got old enough to have savings :-p.

With the stock market increasingly dislocated from reality and currency quantitative easing dialed to turbo to deal with the shutdown costs... imo it is an excellent time to take out large loans (because inflation will devalue your debt) and use the money to buy physical assets which retain or gain value. Property, rare guitars, antiques, art, gold...

I'd suggest having a good read of this persons blog https://jlcollinsnh.com/

Essentially, after you have an emergency safe cash fun start to build up an index tracker on the lowest possible fees.
Don't try to outsmart the market, you can't. there are too many insider traders and algorithms, you will eventually lose
