I wanted to buy more Vanguard Small Cap - VB early last week... it was around 175/share, jumped to 180, and i put an order in at 178/share.... sure enough it's up to 188-189 now... trying to decide if i just buy it now at this price, or keep waiting hoping for a dip. it's more mental than anything else, not really material
OT: Stock and Investment Talk
- Thread starter RU-05
- Start date
I own a lot of VB (converted some to UWM, but that's another story!). I have been buying this dip hard and will likely do some more today. Small caps are at historically low valuations. You can't go wrong at these levels if you are holding for a while.
If you are not sure, buy half now and wait on the other half. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing decision.

I don’t know if the market is going that much lower since everyone must have lower their quarterly forecast for the last three quarters and they should be achievable. I think we are in a range that I have been trading. The Fangs stocks are back. Some of the medicals and drugs stocks are moving. Getting very close to recovering to ATH, slowly chipping away at any loss and putting more money to work. Money got to make the money.
BAC S&P projection in a decade is only 4,500. Going to need to pick individual stocks instead of the index to make good money.
BAC projection = LOL!
S&P 500 = $10-12k by the end of the decade
Loaded the boat on HC and biotech during this recent defensive dip.
Nobody knows what things will be like in a decade. To pretend that you can forecast the SP500 in a decade is laughable. All we know is that historically, a diversified portfolio of equities has outperformed other alternatives that are available and should continue to do so.
I think they have to forecast for the next decade or they wouldn’t be able to decide to invest in 5 or 10 year treasuries.
Wall Street firms will always generate these worthless forecasts. Doesn't mean that anyone should pay attention to them.
unfortunately, good news for the economy will be bad news for the stock market. Inflation will not go away if employment numbers remain strong. This is what we call a head fake.
Tesla has only installed 3,000 Solar Roof systems in the U.S., far below forecast, study finds
Tesla's Solar Roof systems are getting far less traction than the company was expecting four years ago.
I researched this product and asked for more information. But no one got back to me. Hard to sell the product if you don’t respond to potential clients.

On one of best fund managers of the last 10-15 years. His fund is the only one I own with bonds/fixed income as a significant portion of it (about 1/3). It's closed unless you have a T Rowe account, but it's worth finding a way to get into it:

How a Top T. Rowe Manager Keeps Beating the Markets
David Giroux’s contrarian approach has kept investors ahead of both the stock and bond market.
There is none. Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy April Fools’ Day.
New (lower?) rate to be announced as of May 1. We maxed out '22 and our '23 last year via the gift "loophole." But will likely "purchase" new reciprocal spousal gifts of $10k each in late April (6.89%), which would count as our '24 max purchase.
Looks like I'm up about 12% in Q1.....thanks to my leveraged plays. Up about 40% in my fun account. :)
We did the 2022 contribution right before rates flipped several months ago. Probably will pass on a 2023 contribution. Better places to put new cash now.
Ironically, the account with the largest cash position is my fun account with the likes of TQQQ (which is up 63% in Q1). Just trying to stay disciplined with my buying levels. LOL!
Doing some quick math, our portfolio Q1 is definitely between 12-13%.
Tesla posts record quarterly deliveries after price cuts, up 4% from Q4

Looks like Tesla has a demand problem.
Nicely on track to exceed 2023 forecast of 1.8m EVs delivered. Well done TSLA!

Time to cut off arms to the countries that buy from us, especially Saudi Arabia. Let them buy Russian and Chinese junk instead.OPEC and friends all cutting oil production:
How did you get on track for 1.8mm? Did Tesla already gave up 50% growth YOY already?Nicely on track to exceed 2023 forecast of 1.8m EVs delivered. Well done TSLA!

BYD Grew EV Sales 2.5 Times Faster Than Tesla In Q1
Chinese electric vehicle maker, and Tesla competitor, BYD continues to post very impressive growth figures. Tesla investors can be both a little concerned and a little encouraged by BYD’s numbers. The March 2023 figures include 102,670 all battery electric vehicles and 103,419 plug-in...
Biden admin needs to pull back on the sanctions BS. 1. They don't work and 2. Nobody respects them so they are just making them look bad. Japan has been buying Russian oil above the cap and the EU has been buying "Saudi oil" that is really Russian oil that flows through Saudi Arabia.
China has been buying Russian oil and then reselling it to those that didn't want to buy it from Russia directly. The oil market was never disrupted after the UKR conflict started. Just fear.
and today's announcements may not make much difference in the long run. A lot of their announcements are just a reflection of a decrease in demand and they call them "cuts". But this is definitely a big FU to Biden.
