You would think it would mean up for bonds, duration of bond would be a factor (1-5yr vs 10-20)
How were you planning to play it ?
Cant say they really appeal to me personally
Seems hard to predict any move before it starts to happen. Unless you're willing to position yourself well in advance and be patient enough to wait with your capital more or less on the sidelines.
Im trying to stay on board until big money decides the play
That sucks Mick. I feel for you. How are you determining where to place them?
Dow jones had a huge buy back from the recent dip. Nasdaq is holding strong as well as far as i can tell, with both having strong engulfing candles on the daily.
Gold fell hard and may look to recover but i could see it falling further short term.
Crypto is down.
I know fed mentioned raising rates in 2023? And the next meeting is end of august?
Ill be watching closely with a current plan to sell or take profit around mid july unless things change.
The worry of a crash and sell off seems to be looking like a dip and pickup with the potential for another leg up to new ath.
Nasdaq is sitting right at resistance from 3 attempts to break over the last few months
I have multiple stocks ive been watching that look as if they have bottomed out and broke their down trend while starting a new uptrend, i dont see any reason not to stay on board with them at the moment until they take another turn for the worse
After what seems like months of more or less waiting im seeing some things that look optimistic about the market
But idk im still trying to figure out how to play all this

will be picking up RKT, C, with the funds that stopped out of AAPL/AMZN. Was hoping they would dip again at a level I felt comfortable buying back in, but will have to wait.

Strong daily candle on PLUG
LAC and TLRY both look to be bouncing at a higher low and being picked up
PLTR still looks to be trying to break overhead resistance
MP i cant read. 2 daily green candles but being squeezed between 20ma and 8ma.
CCIV i think is getting picked up here
Nasdaq made a new ath
Dow jones spiked up but i think it might get rejected with overhead resistance and dip lower

Took minor positions in AAPL, AMZN with what looks like continued support at 130 and 3500. With a sustained dip will incrementally increase my position.
Also took
C RKT - this one upset me because I ran out of time at the end of the day to pick it up, and sure enough when I go to purchase today it had popped .90, so I bought a half position and will add to it on a dip, or just sell into any strength.

I was looking for something that did better than money market (you know something that at least measures in percents and not fractions of one percent) but didn't want to lose money either. I was looking at Fidelity Bond Index which is all U.S. and a mix of durations. I was kind of curious why this fund was making 3-4% recently when interest rates were super low. I remember something about bond price and yield moving inversely, and was worried about timing but that's probably more of an issue with individual bonds than this index.
I had been putting money recently in risky investments, Cardano, copper and semiconductor stocks and will keep those, but wanted to put most new funds into safe havens. I am keeping my 401K as it has been with half S&P 500, half Vanguard Explorer (small cap) and the company match in Amazon.

I hear ya.
Im 30 and open to huge huge huge risk with an account balance of around 4k.
Im sure the game would be a bit dif to me if i were at a different stage of my life with more to lose
Took a look at the market for the first time today, busy day, very very happy. Will be sitting on everything until i see a red candle on the daily, at which i will evaluate my plan of action.
The way things have been going, ive missed out on multiple 10% gains wanting to wait and give more time only to find i could have sold with plenty of time to buy back cheaper.
Now anything in 10% range i start to get a little anxious of. I think the patience will finally be paying off soon though

Stopped out of MNMD, I should have paid closer attention to this one. Kind of half watched it bleed out over a few weeks but in retrospect after a few days of poor performance it’s probably best to cut them loose

Ratcheting up stop on ARKK - good movement over past two weeks and will be steadily adding to this one on sustained strength
TLRY, CGC, RIOT, MARA all opening well, I do not have time to set stops here, but would like to lock in the gains. Keeping an eye on them throughout day
BIIB continuing a slow bleed. I am going to assess where to pick some of these up, humble Pat myself on the back for practicing proper trading discipline and getting out when I didn’t like what I initially saw. Stay humble though,

Ratcheted up stops on everything after a decent gain today. They are all trigger finger level so I may miss out on additional gains, but am done giving back the progress made over a day.
Sold small AMZN/AAPL positions, figure I missed the wave, so will try and ride the next downturn
Other positions
BA TLRY CGC RIOT MARA RKT ARKK
on a decent overall week

Yah TSLA looking good. If it runs to $900 again I might kick myself haha, but might still have a few weeks to prove it can make that push up

Hit all stops. Am essentially all cash heading into weekend. MARA was not set as a GTC stop, which cost me an extra $60, I wish I could have these defaulted to GTC.
I feel like I am missing something with thinknornswim, and am setting orders the hard way. It feels cumbersome. Maybe need to watch some videos.

Closed out MP, PLTR, and AMD for 10-15% gains
Charts dont necessarily look bad but im done investing/trading the way i was before
Closed LAC for a 3% loss. Chart looks a bit weak mixed with news, not worth risking for me personally. Was small position so rather close it for a small loss.
Ill be looking to reposition my funds and ill be looking to close out other positions as well.
Want to take less positions, use better timing, hold shorter and take profit sooner.
Last couple months going from a booming market to a scary maybe crash bear market has been an invaluable learning experience
Feel like im def improving
Will look at charts later once i get a chance

I bought 45 shares of mnmd today
Gonnakeep an eye on that , looks like it could be a good long term investment
Sold a few shares of amc , doubled my money so used that on the mnmd

CGC is pushing against 50 ma on the daily chart
If it breaks above I'm going to add to my position
Break below that line will be my sell signal as well

Am looking at CGC as well, and may take an entry based on movement tomorrow.
ARKK still doing some good stuff, though a bit of a stall lately, I have exited the position but still have eyes on it
