Trying to time the market and buy at the lowest point is not the best strategy because it’s anyone's guess. Decide on which stocks you’ll want to buy, decide a price that is acceptable to you, buy when it’s around that price and leave it. Don’t keep hoping that it’ll dip even more because when it goes up you’ll pay even more for it. I've learned that the hard way so now I just set a price I’m comfortable with and don’t care if it goes down a bit after that.

16m people have filed for unemployment in total, current numbers from April 4th... the economy is basically shut down, people are all suppose to be home. Businesses are struggling, and you're telling me the market has been green for 3 days in a row now???????
Who the fuck is manipulating this shit? Stocks like Royal Caribbean cruise went from 22 to 42 since Monday???? HOW? If this here alone doesn't show you how the markets are manipulated, idk what will. |

Not really sure how this thread has made it 9+ pages with no reference of RSI, MACD, moving averages of any sort, etc. when it comes to buy/sell decisions. "If I make a grand off this trade, I'll be happy" is a decent strategy, I guess, but putting zero thought into it past that decision is kinda pointless. Might as well just dollar cost average your auto deposits into an index and tune out all market news/data completely at that point. |

Also if you think the markets aren't manipulated in any way shape or form, idk what to tell you. And... getting 4b for a 11.5% interest rate for carnival isn't really a good sign either. No one going on cruises for a LONG time. But sure, whatever you say man. |

Because we're all just amateurs with more money than common sense. Honestly I know how to look at price, Market Caps, RG, EPS, dividends and yields, and other economic indicators. Remember I said look...interpret to a degree...but still no expert as my degree is not in this field. But these are special times with circumstances a lot of us haven't seen. So for someone like myself who is far from an expert...I let my max contributions to my 401K go with dollar cost averaging, and am sticking my feet in slowly. I look at the company I am buying...but even then it's just to make sure that it isn't something that is just going to go "belly up" and cease to exist if things get worse. And then I am not guaranteed anything. Oh...and I also try to pay attention to Fair Value Target.

You asked a specific question about a specific stock given that you were befuddled by recent jumps in price. If you can't understand why/how a stock can quickly turn positive after being beaten down 75% and having a financial powerhouse purchase over 43 million shares within the entity recently, then maybe you should stick to I bonds or something...those are easier to understand.

My point exactly. We all want to buy at the lowest price to minimize losses and maximize gains. But honestly, an additional 50 cents or 1 dollar per share won’t make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. Waiting might actually cause stocks to go up and then you end up buying them at a higher price.

I'd rather be in/out of holdings quickly with a specific upside target over hoping/praying that my "pick" ends up randomly making money a few weeks into the future though...just me. Absolutely! All these inflows of cash have created a day trading paradise within CCL. Stick around long enough and maybe someone willing to explain it a bit more slowly can let you know how that's possible |

At least the weather folks can kindof tell you why the weather did what it did yesterday and provide a reasonable forecast for tomorrow. No one has a clue why the market is up this week and have absolutely no idea what will happen at the close today.
Hedge fund managers and day traders do well in this environment. Bogleheads ignore it all and follow their investment policy statement. Everyone else gets destroyed by FOMO or running to cash. I'm a boglehead so all of this noise means little to me. I may rebalance this week or just keep streaming all the Star Wars movies. I'm still on track to retire in 2021.

Thanks for your concerns. You should offer some courses since you are an expert in the industry And if you really want to make money, learn to trade some options, maybe someone will help you learn if you stick around |

Sold OFS at a 14.6% profit and MGM at a 16.2% profit. Finally getting back to even from my previous mistakes.
I had USO at a 40% margin and now it is shitting the bed lol. I am going to hold on to it and if it gets back to even buy more. |

will probably throw some money in after earnings reports are released and everything tanks again. I think after that things will be at the bottom.
Virus seems to be plateauing which is good news. But it doesn't change the fact that we will have a while to go until businesses can get up and moving and people can find jobs again. You can't loosen the restrictions until the cases per day have drastically reduced. Otherwise we will have another peak that might be worse.
