I actually don't try to time things in that regard. I dollar cost average and send my portfolio management company and my 401K the same amount, every month, on the same day of the month. Trying to hit those peaks and dips is too challenging for a novice like me.

It’s too challenging for anyone except those who are wrong.

I pulled it all out and bought a mb 6x6 and guns for the apocalypse

At least I can relax this weekend and pretend it's all a bad dream.

Or get drunk

How many did you buy, big spender?

EDIT - Just realized you said "B" shares.

I aspire to buy Bershire A shares, today was just 75 shares of B to add to the position.

Been buying in and out of TVIX over the past month. I had bought in at only $4.74 and sold at $8.35. Bought and sold again a few times over the past week. Total account value is up over 70% for the year. Mutual funds ended up 14% for 2017 before this downturn. Anyone thinking of switching to bonds, or will we recover so quickly there wouldn't be a point?

Gr-Racing · 02-10-2018, 12:28 AM

To soon for bonds move, it was a good day today for me

We clawed back a bit today. Hoping the worst is over.
