    Bought SQQQ to short tech as a short term trade. Looks a little toppy here, and the gap up on QQQ today was on low volume. I think we come back down to fill that gap next week, but I am ultimately long term bullish so I don't want to hold this position for too long.

    Really want to put a piece into the I-Fund to get some of that great return, but not sure if I'm late to the party there. Does anyone have thoughts on if whatever is pushing the I-Fund up will continue?

    The RSI suggests the market is entered extreme overbought territory yesterday. The last time it did that, late July, we saw the S&P 500 top out about 4 days later and then drop about 200 points over the following 3 days.

    TZA was trading between 10.22 and 10.57 on Aug 21. Yesterday it closed at 8.15. So he's down about 20% ($43K) on that trade so far, if he's still holding it.

    The lower rates go, the cheaper it gets to borrow money. Borrowed money gets invested into the stock market, which continues to push it up. I don't see this market going down for anything more than a short pullback.

    Share Your TSP Balance and Your Age Thread

    5 years later, $154K at 38 years old. I plan on (probably) retiring from active duty in 3.5 years and not sure what my plan for my TSP account will be at that point. I have a lot more in taxable investment accounts and real estate, which has taken more of my time and focus lately. It's been nice...

    Off topic, but I am curious about the calculation here. What is the theory and math behind losing money at work? This has me interested!

    We ended up selling that house around May 2022 for a ~300K profit (and we only put 15K down when we bought it, so 15K turned into 300K over 4 years). We invested that profit into the VOO index, which is a low-expense S&P 500 ETF. That did super well over the 3 years we were stationed in Hawaii...

    I put a sell order in yesterday from my big taxable account. Taking some profits to enjoy with the family. That account is fully invested in a tech fund that has been going bananas, so gonna put some of that money to use around our new house. It's only like 6% of the total balance of that...

    New Coronavirus 'With Pandemic Potential' Discovered

    Ugh are we gonna hear about a new pandemic-level virus ever year for eternity now? I wouldn't move a penny based on those reports unless I start hearing death numbers.

    Were these going mostly into the market, or out? In hindsight, I wonder if this was somehow an indicator for the big Friday drop.
