How are your buy on the dips working?
At my age, not playing that game. Although, I'm sure those who are will fair far better by the end of the year than 4 years of doomsday investing.
I'm sure we'll compare notes along the way.

No sense answering him anyway. If you’re down, he’ll gloat. If your up, he say wait and see. Meanwhile he tells us nothing of his own stock investments.

Yes we’ll do that. Down over 1% from yesterday’s close. Maybe the magic of Zuck is wanning?

How did your buys on the dip go so far? Weren’t we using the S&P 500 as a proxy or was that one of your other handles?

Over all, i'm down a little. But some are up. ANd some i already took profits.
But that is just a short term snapshot. Point being, 99% of my portfolio is long term buy and hold. And that is up quite significantly in the long term. I think it is rather foolish to ask about a short term trading/investing strategy without considering one's overall plan and how it works within that plan. Or maybe i just don't understand the point of your question.
Suffice to say I’m doing better than you are.

Pretty sure that is wrong.

Nope.
Earnings Scorecard: For Q1 2018 (with 6% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 70% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 73% have reported a positive sales surprise.
Business is booming!
Thought I'd better post today so it doesn't look like I'm avoiding the big nose dive.

Maybe you should wait until there is an actubig nose dive.

I think you need to do more reading on CAPE and fundamental analysis. You have only a limited view based on your experience, same as the other posters above. That is typical at a market top, flip side of the conclusions most would have assumed March 9, 2009. Hey but that makes a market.
It’s important for everyone here to remember that Igy is smarter than you. We are lucky to have him here and should never challenge anything he writes.
Oh...ya, he's such a big shot and knows everything. If it's not the GrandMaster's thread then it's this thread.

Adequate sleep can be an elixir for mental disorders. Posting at 2:47 am cannot be good for an already unstable psyche. Get some rest.

What about you? ☝️ You post 24/7 and your footprint is on a lot of the daily threads. When are you going to make your rounds on GM thread today? But you're a popular cat on this forum where everyone knows your name. ?

Sock,
The last time I posted here was 7:47 pm 4/12/2018. So your accusation appears untrue. In regards to the 50+ thread I typically post on Sundays unless there is a discussion I find interesting. My popularity on this thread is largely due to an unstable character that follows me religiously. He has tried to do the same on the 50+ thread where he is largely ignored. I choose to confront him here rather than allow him to drive me away. I apologize if that bothers you or others. ?
