I'll share this advice again since many of you continue to ignore it, but I highly recommend to buy low and sell high.

This has always worked out for me.

There will be profit taking before the market closes Friday. Something along the lines of a .8% drop in the S&P 500.

You mean sold ahead of the fed and bought the open today? That's not unheard of.

Tomorrow will be wild because of quad expiration.

What portion of our portfolios should we liquidate in anticipation of this? 80%? 95% and margin into SQQQ and VIX?

So we are dropping all the way back to where we were 5 hours ago?

so going back to the original question early in the wk of is it time to sell ahead of the impending pullback towards the end of the wk in which we may lose up to 30%....of the gains on the week

so really what you're asking is if it's a good idea to time the market

I've timed the market with a lot of success.

I'm semi retired with time to pay attention to the market and usually have a very good feel about the ebbs and flows.

Unless something totally unexpected happens, the market will be down next week.


So I suppose the market not being down would be considered something unexpected..
The market ebbs and flows. At least in normal times. we've been on a nice run of flow.

I think we're coming due for an ebb. Actually likely Thursday or Friday of this week. Investors have been on a buying frenzy lately.


If it doesn't go down, it could stay flat. And if it doesn't stay flat, it could go down. And if it doesn't go up, it could go down…



I really hope this is a joke post…
I'll see you Thursday

What a weird thread and change of pace. You were ready to cash out and now it's minor corrections. So much for that Thursday crash.

I guess I'm confused what you're celebrating/timing…..

This thread was started Tuesday at noon. The S&P 500 was at $4,360 then, when you said it's time to sell.

It's still $4,417 now.

Kind of irrelevant to me that it's down from a random peak that occurred days after you timed the ebbs and flows.

since it's been going up it's likely going to go down, unless this is a time where it keeps going up, in which case it will go up until the next time it goes down

Not as much as I thought, but down.

S&P 500 down .36%
NASDAQ down .68%

No it's not. The S&P is up vs both of your time stamps on this thread.

What data are you looking at?

Sure. And it'll rise at some point too. When? Who the hell knows. As proven by this thread.

This is not at all in line with what your OP was speculating.

"I have a gut feeling it's time to move some more $ in cash. This has been a good run.:"

I've moved some to cash and today I'm nibbling.

Yeah. Except you said that 6/13. And even with the recent drops, the market is still up compared to 6/13. So you'd be "nibbling" back in at a loss.

Pretty easy to play the markets slight up and downs perfectly when looking at the past…..

I've really enjoyed the way the 2 threads (this one and the FA) are playing together right now!
