Less about the company over the past week and more about the market environment. FB will be fine and bounce back (like it has done in the past).
Disney and their streaming service is on a roll! I watch Disney+ more than NFLX.

Sounds good. I guess everything is over. :)"Moscow is willing to negotiate terms of surrender with Kiev regarding the ongoing Russian military offensive currently taking place in Ukraine, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
According to Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his preparedness to engage in discussions with his Ukrainian counterpart, with a focus on obtaining a guarantee of neutral status and the promise of no weapons on its territory.
These are terms that, according to Peskov, would enable the achievement of the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, and eliminate what Russia currently views as a threat to the security of its state and people."

You really believe that? Today I’ve heard for the first time that the U.S. is now considering offensive cyber measures against Russia.

Do you (or anyone) understand the background to this? I wasn't paying enough attention. Did Putin view Ukraine as a growing legit threat? Was it about pipelines? I haven't been able to figure out the rationale for all this yet. Just curious.

I don’t believe it. Putin ain’t shutting down an invasion that’s lasted less than 24 hours.
I misjudged Putin = he’s mentally unstable. Before the invasion, I figured he was just an a-hole. He will make a spectacle of this mess and I fully expect him to respond to the sanctions.
I am buying index funds for 2 reasons
Putin has written essays for years about the breakup of the CCCP and has goals to recreate the Soviet Union. He’s currently claiming that his “military action” is to “denazify” Ukraine that is committing genocide on its Russian population.
Absolutely keep buying and stick to the plan. Getting some nice discounts which will pay off in the future.
Obvious, this is BS as a stated reason. Just wondering why now and what was the big reason (if other than Putin just going Putin).
Bizatch, men gotta grill. Ironically, I need to buy a new grill and will definitely buy another Weber (likely in the next week or two via the local True Value).
I bought the stock mainly because I viewed it as best of breed plus an under the radar reopening play for the Spring/Summer.
Agree - I plan to sell some positions on strength and look for cheaper entry points, especially when I fully expect to wake up to some Putin BS tomorrow morning since it’s midnight in Moscow right now.
I didn't get FB but other names I did get I sold already. Not waiting til tomorrow. If it goes up more so be it. I'd worry more about how much traders will want to go long into the weekend.
Weber is out of the universe I play in but I view HD in the same fashion though with regards to Spring.
What a beautiful day (except for all that war stuff). The market loves clarity, even if the news is bad. Looking forward to the Fed providing clarity on rates in a few weeks. Plan accordingly!
It was for me too, but when I saw it drop below $9 after recent earnings, and I’m itching to buy a new grill this Spring, I couldn’t resist. It’s a total spec play for me.
I can tell by the names you bring up your universe is wider than mine. I've been doing this for quite awhile but I still generally stick with large/megacap names with just occasional forays outside of that. It ameliorates my conservative bent and comfort level.
For me the invasion of this scale was unexpected. I didn't think he'd go that far but I still think it will likely be a short term thing even though it's bad unless it spreads to China/Taiwan in some fashion. Outside of that I still think the issue overhanging the market is inflation and rates. That's part of why I still say sell into strength.
Long-term holders.....buy the dips. Sadly, I missed out this morning due to work.
I’m still brazen and young enough that I believe I can be a stock picker. I’ve had a fair amount of success and been trying to diversify beyond Big Tech since I have rather large GOOG and FB positions. At some point, I’m sure I’ll get bored or get burned.
I'm not that old only in my 40s but I was like this when I was younger too...that's just my conservative nature. Plus I never consider my knowledge base to be enough even after all the time I've been doing it. So with that, imo if you stick with high quality (dividends are a great bonus) at a reasonable valuation even if you mistake the timing, over the long haul you should be okay. Always have cash to average down as well. Charting and technicals can help in picking spots with that or for using stops IMO.
FYI - if you bought TQQQ during the morning dip, you would have made a nice 22% by the close. :)
Yea leveraged ETFs aren't my thing either. Had some experience with these "ultra" etfs during the crash and I think it can be a sort of hedge for a short term but it's not for me. They don't always react the way you expect either so I stay away now.
This is one of those things I can't quite figure out.
I was down 2% early, finished up 2%.
Funny thing, playing in the crypto market prepped me for leveraged ETFs. +/- 10% swings are not uncommon with crypto. The market is in such correction territory that I like these plays now. I'm not really a stock picker and don't want to bother with so much research and tracking. I moved my recent stock buys into my long-term hold stock account (14 total holdings: 11 big techs and 3 crypto stocks). My "fun" account is now just focused on the leveraged ETFs.
