A good share of what I've earned in my 74 years has been gotten by selling rallies and buying dips. Todays 1500 point break in the DOW is tempting, but for some reason I'm not buying yet.
Buy the dip?
- Thread starter soybean
- Start date
Cramer said today that he is waiting until p/e ratio drops from 20xearnings to 16...s&p under 5k. He is always a bull.
If Cramer says he is waiting, then buy now.
A savvy investor can get very wealthy during this period of time. The market was ripe for a downturn and this is it.
Only dip I am buying now:
French Onion Dip
Prairie Farms French Onion Dip is made with real Best in Class sour cream. Owned by farm families since 1938.

I think now is a good time to start slowly adding shares of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, and any other major US company who is down right now. Companies you know are going to rebound.
I don't think I would go all in though. We're day +1 of Liberation Day and the market is going to be volatile for a while I think.
Not yet. All indexes are still up last year. Especially the Dow. Still up 1500 over last year. I think we will shed all of last years gains and then some before bottom. Just my two cents as a mutual fund investor who does not pick stocks.
If this sticks, Apple is F-ed for a while. It’s not like they can just up and move production. You add 30+% to an iPhone and people will keep their phones longer.
I was looking at one year returns this morning and many stocks even with the drop this morning are still up double digit percentages on a one year time frame. So still room to fall but also well off recent all time highs so long term investors can consider maybe one time additions to long term stock portfolio during this type of down turn.
Yeah, but they’re going to take a double hit when Europe and Asia responds with tariffs on services.
Billions get dumped into the market every month via 401k.
Big fan of buying dips, and I plan on retiring in two years.
This dip isn’t even caused by real forces in the market so I am less concerned.

If you are selling with the S&P at 5400 you are either under 30 years old or should not be handling your own finances.
Maybe they shouldn't have 7 year old forced labor children build them in far east sweat shops.
But did you see some girl kneeled against a boy? F the gains!
I’m not sure about that.
I think the priority for many people is
Food
Iphones
Rent
Vehicles
Children
In that order
Nope. I kinda like my large cash position today.
Correct. The time to sell has passed. Now we wait.

Underphuquin’ statement of the year! Ever since 1/20/25, this market has been “ripe” for a downturn! Yesterday my President gave it a chance to happen!
Hail to thee, oh Orange Turd! DOGE this!
Not that the Dow is as good of a barometer as other indices, but just as a reference point because most people know where it trades, I wouldn't even consider buying back in until it rattles around 30,000.
I think you could still sell. Won't feel as good now as it could have, but you'll still be pleased somewhere down the road.
Felt from the first announcements back in March low to mid 30’s was the area will head eventually. But my opinion and 6 dollar well soon to be 9 dollars gets you a Starbucks.

Time will tell I guess. I always hate selling during a large downdraft like this..
The financial guy I talked to said the "experts" at their company said NASDAQ would drop $3k more from what it was at open this morning before bottoming out. FWIW...
But yes, buy the dip, question is what's bottom?
in my experience doing what cramer says is a very efficient way to become a future millionaire if you are a billionaire
If we see a new low late in the day we are looking pretty grim going forward.
Yeah, a month ago I moved 1/3 of my holdings to cash and am just riding the storm out.
Until I see some movement between the major trading partners of the US . You know actually good faith negotiations. Which you know the best way to do is by knocking over the table. Really have no clue or guess estimate.
I assume all this moving of things is in retirement accounts.
Trying to time the market with taxable transactions would be very counterproductive

I'l just get my 13 Pro battery replaced and end up with basically the same phone (for my purposes) as the 17.
Why is the NASDAQ down more than the other bourses?
Usually I have a pretty good idea, but I'm not sure this time.
