Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Phew. September is over. That was rough! I almost sold all my stocks at the first 1% drop.
It's over.
Back to green and soaring for the next 11 months!

And it's a new quarter, the final quarter of the year, so maybe it will deliver a juicy end-of-year melt up! I'll be back in three months to see what happened.

S&P 500 is up 1%.
Small Cap Value is up 2%.
And International is about flat.

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
But international is off its lows for the day. I had a dividend paid yesterday and it was enough for 2.92 shares, so I set a limit order to buy 3 shares at a lower price and it got filled this morning and promptly made me about a dollar and left only 1 cent in my settlement account. Woo-hoo!

So... yesterday the world was full of worries, today, all is good? Lots must have happened during the night when I was sleeping...

First of the month: so glad I made my DCA in the morning - VTI & Chill.
Simplicity is the key to brilliance - Vti & chill.
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
Not really much of a soar lol
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
We were down 5% from the top 30 days ago.
We gained back 1.15% today.
So in one day, we gained back 23% of the losses from last month.
Seems pretty good to me.
Of course, tomorrow we might lose it all back again, but 1%+ in a single day is always soaring in my book.
Edit: Did we get dividend payments today too?

Is today a dead cat bounce or is there some substance to it?

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
In looking looking for the recent VTI dividend, I noticed that the VTI position bought in that account almost 15 years ago is up 308%, inclusive of dividends.
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
That’s just under 10% per year compounded.
Not bad when you consider that the 2006-2021 had a couple of major market hiccups.

Watch the anti-clockwise Fibonacci rapprochement margins, they never lie. Stocks are testing their 7-day trend tube as we speak. Having said that, I just saw an article called "This veteran analyst hears echoes of the 1929 crash in today's stock market" so... you know... prepare accordingly.

Why all these soaring posts when today's gain didn't even make up for yesterday's losses? My total unrealized gains as of today are almost exactly the same as they were on June 10, 2021.

I only own 2 Gulfstream Jets. I never had a Lear jet.
Tony has invested in the hedge fund which is not a 2 fund portfolio and now he wants his returned. No can do, we have a 5 year lockup clause.

2 up days in a row after seemingly endless red, are the Bulls finally fighting back ?
Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
I'd call it for the bulls after we get above 4500, very likely if we get some good news on the stimulus front.Yesterdaysnews wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 4:06 pm 2 up days in a row after seemingly endless red, are the Bulls finally fighting back ?
