I have been getting in a little at a time. My past +12 months have been good and I got out incrementally before the dip. I was down less than 2 percent. Tawain Semi Conductor was a great company for me but I was very lucky to time things perfectly. No skill, just luck. I don't intend to jump in very much at all.

What I've bought recently:

NVIDIA
Tawain Semi Conductor
Birkshire Hathoway - had earlier just reduced this
Honda

My losses came on AMX, but I reduced a bunch early.

Who else is dipping into the water? What are you buying?
 
No. I fully expect Trump to manipulate the market several more times this year. Unless you are insider trading with him and his friends, it’s going to be a terribly bumpy ride.
 
Never got out. I have been redirecting new investment the last few months and slowly building a big ol’ pile of cash and short term assets that I’m anxiously waiting to use once agent orange’s phuckups come to roost.

I hope you didn't buy Birkshire Hathoway.

I have no skill or luck so I invest in companies that I think will do well over the long haul. I will keep it as long as I think it is a solid investment.

S&P 500 down 12.4% since November 5, 2024. Thank you Trump for crashing my retirement savings!

Looking at my NM brokerage account this morning and I'm damn near where I put in! I was going to put some in from my quarterly bonus but I'll just keep my cash for now
 
UNH is looking attractive.

A lot of bad news has hit this giant lately.

We are looking at 2020 prices currently.

Update: Closed at $311.38 today. I'm just making a note for myself. :)

I didn't really get out, just did some rebalancing and slowed new investment with the plan of buying when I felt the moment was right. Just blew that wad on some new property. Oops. Oh well. Won't be scouring the stocks for that big winner for a while but the property is an extremely sound investment that I'll be very happy with both as passive income for now and a usable asset in the future.
 
You’re net negative with CDs. CD stands for continuously disappointed.

Depending on the intent of the money, CD's can be a great way to put cash.

Plenty of people making 5% currently on a zero risk investment.

With that said, I've never put money into a CD.

High yield muni bonds are yielding over 7% tax free. Fixed annuities are getting 5.5%

There’s some great structured notes right now with 30-40% downside yielding 15%

CDs are for the lazy advisor
