Given the crappy returns from my Pillar 1e. I asked that the strategy be changed from maximum stocks (which yielded a laughable <3% annual return over the last decade plus) to a money market fund.

I’ll suffer the 1% returns until I get the funds out in a few years.

Not sure if someone already mentioned, but VT touched the ATH. We are so back :grinning:

Of course when I decide to wait for a slight dip after my paycheck (20th February), markets went only up. Planned on buying 6k USD worth of UPRO at 61$ and now it’s at 67.3$ :frowning:

Note to myself: Don’t try to time the market, just buy as soon as the money is available.

If that doesn’t start The Crash, I don’t know what will!

Are we dipping? My phone is a sea of green today :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure why, but I associated your “Are we dipping?” with Marley’s “Jamming” (singing in my head: “are we dipping?” instead of “we’re jamming”), so here you go 


Bob Marley & The Wailers - Jamming (Official Music Video) (youtube.com)

At least the weed symbol in their official video is green, so there’s that.

Lastly: if you are considering seeing the recent Bob Marley: One Love movie 
 don’t, IMO.
Just listen to his songs instead if you like Reggae.

Full disclosure: personally not a substance user, but proud owner of IIPR, an innovative REIT that leases cannabis green house facilities to those who can legally grow the weed in the US.
Full position, too.

I’m still DCA’ing and unsure if I hope it goes up or down. Just a bit sad that I wasn’t more agressive. Should I start to be more agressive now? :confused:

It depends how you would be feeling after a 50% to 80% crash.

It’s perfectly normal to feel disappointed with one’s allocation as the price of assets goes up or falls down considerably, an adequate allocation often falls somewhere inside the spectrum of fully profiting from gains and being fully protected from losses.

Date of the bottom (or is it another thing ?) was almost exact, the level not.

I guess we can call this “When do we reach the top?”

Never, and this is the best part of it.
