Stock Market Has Regained Half of Its Losses

It does bounce back eventually. That's why it's important to just hold on and not sell. That's a surefire way to lose money. I learned that the hard way.

Everyone loves a bargain but few people recognize that the stock market has been on sale recently. The easiest investment is a "total stock market" or S&P 500 mutual fund /ETF.

It has really bounced back since mid June, but I don't trust this rally. I have cash to invest but I'm sitting on the sidelines for now in anticipation of further falls.

Me too r3

Historically if you look at the stock market it's always gone up in the long term. I don't bother trying to 'time' the market and just invest what I can.

I've typically tried to increase my contributions when the market is down.

Some unsolicited recommendations since I love my DLers.  You might consider buying stock in Amazon and Google due to recent stock splits.  Also, Tesla will have an upcoming 1 to 3 split so keep that in mind too.

Blue Chips stocks are always a safer bet and a good investment.

So the hedge fund managers and finance bros are recouping their money. Meanwhile average everyday Americans are being raped at the gas pump and the grocery checkout.

^ so invest in the stock market.

It’s still missing the other half, and we’re still behind with much higher mortgage rates.

^ it will all come back over time.

You need to take a very thoughtful approach with your investment portfolio. When in or nearing retirement, you should have a least 3 years of income in cash ready assets so you don't have to sell stock with down.

My REITs are doing well. I thought with the pandemic and WFH, commercial real estate would suffer. I understand that it's all spread out but I was (pleasantly) surprised.

R14 non traded REITS or traded REITS like Realty Income Corporation (stock symbol O)?

If you are own non traded REITs, what are they?

I try to "pad" my portfolio when there's a big downturn. It's a modest amount, I'm conservative at this point in my life, but buy low...an ETF or blue chip stock in the S&P 500.

I bought siga stock at 10. It's more than doubled thanks to whores all over the world!

What is a stock split?

R18, say Amazon is $2,500 per share. If they do a stock spilt of 1 to 10, you would then have 10 shares at $250. Opportunities like that are good to get into the stock at a cheaper rate.

When Apple split years ago, I bought about $30,000 worth of stock and now it is worth over $200,000.
