Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[FreshFromATL]

Doesn't CPI come out tomorrow? Inflation priced in?

Also, my friend said that Russia won't do shyt until after the Olympics

I hate trying to time the market but shyt... last year was rough @Da_Eggman

Yes, CPI comes tomorrow and I'm betting we've bottomed (unless something crazy comes out of left field...ie Russia popping shyt off)

So kinda a high level question here, if you guys had 50-75k liquid to grow in the market, what would your approach be? Like half of it in $SPY then breaking the other half across some speculative stocks and ETFs?

I got a large bonus at work and after wiping all worldly debts and buying a few small spoils, I have around 80k liquid remaining, so I’m looking to invest it as effectively as I can. For context, I’d much rather see a 40% increase over 2-3 years than I would risk losing 30% of it to potentially double it in a year.

Prior to this my brokerage account was only around 15k, so I am inexperienced at properly investing an amount of this size.

You want 30% in a year? Not even the best hedge funds can do that. If you want a worry free experience, just invest in some indexes, set it and forget it.

Oh okay that was just an example

I figured I'd be lucky if I got 10% tbh.

I'm way less knowledgeable than most here but I would pick a few ETFs with a good spread start off with an amount you like and DCA the rest over a longer period of time.

I would only invest it in the companies that people can't live without

Given your experience, just keep it simple

It’s unlikely that you’ll beat the market so just put it in VTI or VOO

60% VTI or VOO
15% BND or other total bond fund
12.5% solid big cap tech company
12.5% blue chip dividend stock

Got a couple $BKKT calls that I have to keep holding because I don’t want to be labeled a pattern day trader… smh

they'll probably trade down a little or flat after earnings. when a company run up big before earnings then there's a good chance the earnings will disappoint.

Disney around $130 was such an easy buy. glancing at their earnings and the demand for everything disney is strong. they can probably raise the price for disney tickets by another $50 and people would still throw cash at them.
