Short-term trading is dominated by algorithms. Gotta wait a day or two to see how the market will actually react.I canāt understand how people possibly make money with short-term trading. Way too many sharks and irrationality for me.
The rate cut should be especially helpful for Russel 2000 stocks - many of these smaller companies have been hampered by high interest rates. at least I hope so. But itās not going to all happen overnight.
Yeah Fed!
Dow jumps 500 points, S&P 500 closes above 5,700 for the first time a day after Fed slashes rates
His says stick to the plan and be prepared for seasonal volatility. Higher by year end.But your Tom Lee says to beware and hesitate
When will the feds decide whether they need another rate cut, in Nov?His says stick to the plan and be prepared for seasonal volatility. Higher by year end.
It still has close to $30 to get back to ATH, I sold some but will buy back when it retreats.Weakish dollar? ā

MSFT selling at a higher p/e multiple than Goog and META certainly does limit its ceiling for now but I keep waiting/hoping for MSFT to grab a huge chunk of Googleās dominant market share in Search. For now itās mostly a cloud growth story with the AI kickerā¦It still has close to $30 to get back to ATH, I sold some but will buy back when it retreats.
META broke it ATH today, up $21 to $559, sold over half
CRM up $13.5 today to $266 still $39 from high
GOOG got a long way to go, AMZN close to ATH, and ROKU WAY TO GO, IBM only tech stock to go down today
I read that after the first rate cut, normally after 12 months double digit increase.

Good news, but was hoping to buy it at a 52-week low. Got close, but missed it as of now.
Wow, that's very interesting. I read an article that INTC needs to go private or get bought out.More good news potentially for INTC. Takeover rumors by QCOM. Iād wonder about antitrust but nonetheless positive news.
I'm up big with AMEX over the past year or so. V is on my watchlist, but it hasn't given me a chance to buy in yet. Love to finally get one.V/MA have always been my favorites in that area. This kind of news can lead to a potential entry point somewhere down the line.
T2K, question for you and the board. I have some Tbills that mature tomorrow and am debating whether to put back the money in Tbills at 4.5% or put that money in some stock that is low risk but may provide a nice 5-10% increase in the next few months.I'm up big with AMEX over the past year or so.

Now up 60% with GEV. Yikes! :)
I think the better question to ask is what if it goes down 5-10% in the next few months? How does that impact you.T2K, question for you and the board.

Definitely depends on your age, goals with the money, time horizon, etc. The S&P 500 is at an all-time high, so if you want to go equities, it's probably best to dollar cost average into the market over the next several months. Not sure if you are interested in stock picking, but tech, AI, energy infrastructure.....this economy evolution isn't going to stop.T2K, question for you and the board.

You won't get 4.5% now. Look at SGOV (0-3 month Treasuries ETF) currently around 4%. SCHD is a conservative "high dividend" ETF with a 3.87% div yield and low P/E, holding quality blue chip equities, so potential capital appreciation, too.T2K, question for you and the board.

Sure. Short-duration only. SGOV is a means to capture those short duration Treasuries yields without having to manage the re-investment process. SGOV pays an interest payout/dividend monthly, typically on the 5th of each month.2 month T-bill is over 4.5%. 3 month is very close
I donāt like the ETF plays on Tbills. Rather just buy them directly.Sure. Short-duration only. SGOV is a means to capture those short duration Treasuries yields without having to manage the re-investment process. SGOV pays an interest payout/dividend monthly, typically on the 5th of each month.
SGOV SEC yield is 5.20% per Morningstar. My prior post indicated "around 4%"--which was incorrect.
Same here. I'm not interested (pun intendedš) in paying the expense included in the ETF. Easy to buy directly as every Monday there are auctions for the 3 & 6 months and every Thursday the 1 & 2 months.I donāt like the ETF plays on Tbills. Rather just buy them directly.
SGOV = 0.090% expense ratio. Longer duration Treasuries, I'm all for buying via auctions, and I do. But those are 2-year-plus durations. Short-term durations, though, SGOV is terrific.Same here.

+1I bought a ton of RIVN calls for 10/4. I have an inkling that the delivery numbers will look good next week. Not confident enough though to buy shares outright.

That's exactly it. I definitely want to mitigate risk. I also don't want to invest too much money into RIVN at this time. I have other investments that I am eyeing.Thatās an interesting that you view option as a safer bet. Iām assuming itās because smaller VAR?
