Chronicles of fat years [2024-2027 Edition]

I just want to point out the mild amusement I have pondering that this thread has been created just 25 days ago while seeing all the threads/messages popping out lately about the market (or pick your favourite asset) going down.

We can’t have the highs without some lows, folks, I’d keep my gains in view when assessing my losses and considering the later as the price to pay to get the former (and the gains have been pretty crazy lately, a little bit of cooling down isn’t at all unhealthy).

But I was promised fat years!

I want to speak to Vanguard‘s manager.

Actually it‘s the best what happens right now for accumulators. The worst is actually a strong bull market if you are still early. So need to remind ourselves that we can buy cheaper now.

I mean technically we are already not that well off, the strong bullmarket over the last decade depresses expected returns going forward already. But lower prices are lower prices, I take those.

Rejoice and buy the dip!

Just today mailed the form to transfer my last 3a cash account with a few years worth of contributions to finpension.

Hopefully the dip will hold (or worsen) until the cash has been transferred.

Exactly, it’s just most people (not here) as well as journalists are a bit freaky. Still 10-13% up YTD, can’t complain even if it stays flat.

Already a member with my other 3 portfolios, the fourth (for the newly transferred money) will be too.

Finally some lower prices. Bought BTC today and will buy probably 100 stocks of UPRO on Friday.

I get new liquidity (ie salary) next Thursday, so Friday will be the regular VWRL buying.

Gott in Himmel more bloodbath! “Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own” still rings true!

Don’t jinx it, I just bought yesterday even though my salary comes in 2 days :stuck_out_tongue:

I should just have used margin to buy :sweat_smile:

But then the market surely would have tanked further :joy:

I‘ll just refrain from even attempting to time the market, even if it‘s mere days. So what ever happens, happens.

Is it me or this thread should be closed and we go back to the Bear stuff?

It’s you.

My benchmark "MSCI ACWI IMI Net Total Return in CHF” have reached a new ATH in nominal terms on 27.03. After that, on 19.04 it was down by -4.6%. Inflation-adjusted, it was -6.5% from the ATH, a new one hasn’t been reached.

And now, as you can guess, we are somewhere in between. These are absolutely normal market movements, nothing to get stressed about.

The CHF is doing so bad :smiling_face_with_tear:

SNB really jumped the gun on rate cuts. It‘s like losing purchase power by the day currently. Would not be a surprise if this causes a comeback of inflation in Switzerland.

It’s been a little volatile:

It’s not good for CHF to be too high. As you might see in corporate reporting , all top companies in CH are struggling with forex.
