Markets still falling like whoa

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

5% down. It's Cinco De Portfolio!

[52-80 19098]

i got stopped out by barely a few ticks before the ride up yesterday, and got stopped out by barely a few ticks before the ride down today.  megasadface

[UTGrad98 2259]

For some divine unknown reason I changed my limit buy from SPY 405.00 to 405.80 (52 week low) back on Monday so I just caught this rally and rode it up the last 36 hours. Put in a stop loss at 424 yesterday and it hit during my morning meeting. Crazy market. I'll keep playing these swings I guess and if I screw up and it keeps falling at least I'm invested. Next buy is 400. Then 385. I'm fine with 2-3 percent gains in this choppy market.

Um, to whom can I direct my strongly worded letter?  My portfolio is disappearing faster than a twinkie at a Weight Watchers convention.  

Oh, and it has been quite enjoyable watching my son's 529 evaporate right when I need to start dipping into it.

[Blotto 23434]

The rally yesterday was a head scratcher to me. the Fed did what they told everyone they were going to do, but every single headwind to the economy/market remains in place. While illogical, I didnt expect the market to give it all back in 3 hours this morning, lulz.

You basically have to treat a 529 like a retiree portfolio once they are within 1-2 years of college.   May as well not use it at all now until his Jr/Sr year.

I was thinking that.  Since he's going to a pricey school that his 529 won't cover, I'm thinking we pay cash for the first year or 2 and hope it recovers for yrs 3  and 4.

 

Of course, to do that, I need to liquidate some of my stonks.  So I guess 6 of one, as it were.

Maybe you should sit him down and talk to him about a "gap" year.
Also, pricy school - congrats on him getting into SC

SC over my dead body.  No, Northeastern, with his first year in London, which ups the cost a few $10k's.

Just put a lien on that sailboat.   That should cover it.

Hardly.  That thing is worth a lot more to me sentimentally than it does equity wise.

There have been 2 days in the past 25 years when S&P 500 futures were down 3% and 10-year Treasury futures down 1%:

Someone is blowing up, and this is forced liquidation.

All you really need is for me to put together a put ladder that goes out the next 3-6 months. That would certainly lead to a bottom and market correction.
FWIW - I'm not there quite yet

Yeah so I didn’t look yesterday when that dead fucker bounced.  I’m sure as shit not checking my account today.  Looks like we are gonna head into recession AND still have hyperinflation.  Niceeeee

[TxTower 650]

It’s called Stagflation.

Let's not use the term "hyperinflation."  Hyperinflation is hundreds and thousands percent inflation.  I don't think we gotta worry about that yet.
