Anler Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 To be honest that looks like a whole lotta bullshit. A massive hedge fund sell off worse than 2008? If so why? Where is the global catastrophe like 2008? Everyone is calling it but nobody is saying what is triggering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens in Argentina doesnt necessarily mean disaster for us. It really doesn’t matter. Can’t control anything about it. It’s foolish to worry about what’s to come. I do think it’s foolish not to heed the signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked pretty calm when it did go down and everyone missed it. My point has always been the people you want to manage your money DO NOT make market predictions, they just find the best investments and keep delivering. I don't hold anything that does not beat the index it's measured against and that strategy isn't changing anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could happen quick Ben I've been hearing about the doom and gloom since the last recession and if I was dumb enough to listen to the fucking nobodies making those statements, I would have a lot less. It will happen when nobody is expecting it, along with the recovery, it takes two to time. Sure it can be done by about 0.1% of those managing wealth, certainly not by the ones taking clues from junior achiever central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....if I hadn't had taken a short position in march I'd be 9% less in my 401k right now. I still wouldnt own a single equity right now.

There is no better long term strategy, but I would be concerned if I was investing fresh positions in equities for a short timeline, that is why I decided to diversify into private equity that has no correlation to the public markets. Fyi, there is no tried and true plan for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 What I hate about the market is that it runs on fear and sentiment. The economy is good, so there's no REAL REASON for a sell-off. Panic could set in, and there it goes!!! BOOM!!!! Major sell-off. Short Pants was right...………...I shouldda' got out sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
