If you don't have anything in the stock market, you're probably just stupid.

Retirement money is for retirement. If you borrow, then you didn't plan well. That's why I have taxable funds that I live on and my tax free accounts will just continue to grow until I'm of age to begin withdraw...I likely won't until I'm forced to...

My advice would be to take 50% of your holdings out in Sept 2019 and reinvest in Feb 2020 or so

I can see a huge drop in Oct.

Either way, so what Brief? Who gives a fuck how successful you are?

It's usually those who speak about it the most who are the most unhappy with life.
Do yourself a favor, enjoy life - fuck money, it may help your kids, but so would a great father figure

You act as though I cannot do both...fool

Trying to time the market is foolish too...

Brief has both money and is a good father figure for teaching his kids the value of a dollar...

There's no point to having kids if you're poor, they'll resent you for not giving them a life of ease...

For a person who delights in calling everyone else "STUPID" you really should learn how to spell.

surely...not surly.

However, your nature is indeed "surly".

.

That's something smart people learn from their mistakes, it's also something even smarter people learn from other people's mistakes...

I should know, I screwed up "timing the market" on Ripple...

With such a large ego where you feel the need to not only call people you don't know 'fool' but to constantly brag about how successful you are, it becomes clear you lack many things in life

Boastful people aren't usually very happy

Sure, trying to time the market is foolish, but so is thinking things can't go from good to bad quickly

What's the risk in taking 50% of your investment out of the market for 4 months?

You know this how? Because of words he types on some forum?

You believe everything you read?

Great point!! I didn't tap the key hard enough, you're a fucking genius!

And you demonstrate how little you know about the court system and the Federal Government with that one little post.

First of all, THE GOVERNMENT gets to decide what's legal or not, and whom to prosecute. NOT YOU. So that post is blown right out of the water.

Second, you don't even have to do anything to have your account frozen instantly, never to be released again. BOOM! Right out of the water!!!!!!

You lose the growth of half your holdings and kill that ratio of exponential growth that only accompanies long term investing.

I know it because, as I said, I tried to time the market with crypto and screwed up.

Other people smarter than me have screwed up timing the market too!

Most day traders do ok in bull markets trading on volatility, but when the market turns they screw up because the trade doesn't go up in value after they buy their trade.

Let's assume for a minute it was $1 million you had invested

You take out $500k and hold just in case for four months

Assuming you make roughly 2-3% on that $500k in four months (high return for four months) it's only $15k profit
If the market dips 10+% and you rebuy in cheaper, the amount of shares you now hold are greater giving you more dividends and potential for gains

But hey, do whatever you want bro

That's like fearing the moon will crash into Earth, sure it's possible but I wouldn't hold your breath...

The crypto market will be in its bull run starting Oct 2019, so just accumulate now

I'm not saying timing is easy, but it's not impossible

I do.

And...it has GROWN!!!

Thank you to my President!

If you don't have any light in you, you're probably just soulless.

And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

For every one that does evil, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved:

But he that doeth the truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.' - John 3:19-21 Vulgate Bible

I don't take financial advice from broke people.

I love the light, I'm solar powered...so is my house

Yet another assumptions

You do you man...I really don't give a shit, just trying to help
Remember this thread come Oct

End of the year portfolio adjustment by fund managers always have some affect on the market during that time, but you don't give a huge sell order and then plop it back in a few months lol

May God humble you Brief, you need it.

Do you think nobody lost money in 2008 or previous down turns?

I do not believe those companies are deliberately screwing people.

You make your choices, I'll make mine.

No one is telling you to just plop it back in

I will adjust my own portfolio, you enjoy yours

I do however find it very telling how often you assume what other people are, along with your constant need to ego trip how much money you have

Enjoy your life man, I'm outta here

Should I become more like you?

Indeed, President Trump is good for business.

All ships are rising with the tide!!!

Lets list Obama's qualifications in business and finance:










































I couldn't think of any either...

You're #1 at everything you do

You're a winner

So I'll just say, "You're hired!"

So, judging from one of my little accounts....

The day before Trump was elected, this account was total in at 22,000.

I have not added any more funds to this account.


Today, this account is at 56,545.

Only stocks and etf's dealing with proven dividends.

Brief is correct.

Well, not quite the moon, but I had a broker from a brokerage named after an Arizona town threaten to "seize my account" using the aforementioned broad powers that allow them to "coordinate with" the Feds (civil asset forfeiture).

Haven't you figured out how something works when the assets quoted far exceed the money supply? It's not liquid, and the bureaucracy built up around it puts in place everything they can to keep it illiquid. Now, take that policy to it's logical conclusion (since there's really no opposing factor)......
