I am hearing rumblings about no further rate hikes post-June. That’s when QT will start to sink in, but the balance sheet will still be expanding.
on the odds of hikes....
near sure big hikes in June and July.
The september meeting gets a little iffy.
The question is if the market is taking care of excess demand all by itself...it might be. Sort of a game of chicken. Will the fed have to do it or will the invisible hand get it done in time.
Unlike you I am honest—not some snake-oil huckster trying to put lipstick on a pig.
EMD is not what you make it out to be. Why is it that I had to supply readers with details that would be critical to making an informed investment decision?
Neither your disclosure nor your judgment is to be trusted, and your bravado is to be ridiculed LOL
We know. Some see this as a disaster, while others see opportunity. Pick your stocks wisely and dollar cost average.
How is having your liquid net worth decimated a good thing?
Pick your stocks wisely? What does that mean?
I think in this instance it means - don't put your entire life savings in a stock run by a self-obsessed, meme-loving, egomaniac billionaire.
The fact that you're losing your mind everyday the market tumbles shows that you've over-extended yourself. Diversify, spread the risk and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

I will be back to ridicule you on the next EMD up day, which I assume will be often. LOL is bound to be an appropriate handle.

Note: The market is down over 20% in less than five months.

Carmine - are you an older guy? If yes - why are you freaking over the stock market drop?
Why am I freaking out about losing $100k plus in the five months since I retired? Even though I keep less than 10% of my liquid assets in equities? And have a total pension and social security annual income of @ $80k

Any guesses?
You chose to be highly invested in equities. No big deal. Keep invested in everything you have and wait for 2 or 3 years - I think you will recoup your losses.

Dude - think about it. YOu only have 10% in equities and equities are only down about 20% at the most. So you basically lost nothing.

10% in equities is highly invested?
I was up @ $300k in 2020.
Up $100k in the 1st 3 weeks of 2021.
Since the Biden inauguration, I have lost over $300k of that $400k gain, over $100k in 2022 alone.

Buy index ETFs or funds. Put some in individual stocks, and when a bear market is looming, stay away from high risk companies with massive negative earnings, as they may need to go to the well at high interest rates or dilute the stock.
Pick value stocks if you’re going to play. Buy good companies on the cheap.
Costco seems like a good bet to me. With prices up, they still have their membership model, they have the cheapest gas in town, and people can buy in bulk to reduce the increase in retail prices.
Certainly there will be growth stocks on sale that bounce back, but they are tough to pick out.
Don’t bet more than ~5% in a single stock unless you have some massive insight that the market doesn’t.
You’re paying 20% less for stocks than 2 months ago. It could very well go even lower, but if you have 10, 15, 20 years, ride it out. Always keep some dry powder.
The problem I have with selling now, other than sell low is a bad investing strategy, is that it’s so hard to say when things will turn.
I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I’m diversified enough not to panic at a 20-40% drop. I’ve seen these before, and I have 20 years before I need the money for retirement.

I am down about 4% for the year is one way of looking at it.
Another way is that I have lost 25% more than my entire annual income in less than five months
