Eye4you Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 What percentage of your money is invested in the market and any none Americans invested in the US market? What are you invested in? What is your prediction for the next year? I am fully invested in the market but wasn't a good year as I just sold one of your largest holdings for loss, purpose of tax wash.

Those numbers seem too high for my gut... but then looking at a 12-year average 7% growth magically gets me to 3378... maybe we can have another good year.

Got into another Chinese startup this year and being getting hammered, but in for long term and believing their story, only the Chinese name I am holding. Unfortunately, I can't add more since I am holding a significant position already. My semiconductor names saved me this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 May go on for a while longer as P/E's in this "no interest age" seem "justified". "It aint over until the fat lady sings". Seems to me that the voice of "the fat lady" is getting weaker though. Once the "fat lady" stops singing, everybody will rush to an already clogged door called "exit". Always the same: "Why diden't'somebody ring the alarm-bell" 5 minutes before the "fat-lady" stopped singing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the video but there is a montage somewhere on YouTube. They basically all said everything is wonderful/it's different this time except for 1 or 2. Even when it started crashing the denial remained strong. It makes me wonder now that we are due for a correction and I see many video predicting another crisis... If they did not predict the last crisis then how can they predict one is coming soon? We might still be good for a while if they are all wrong again. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-hedge-fund-geniuses-got-beaten-by-monkeys-again-2015-06-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Several years ago inherited some money and thought about buying a condo in Thailand. But put it all into the market mostly the big techs Apple, FB, etc. So glad I did not buy that dead money condo have done very very well with true liquid investments.

No one saw the 2007/2008 market crash coming because with P/E 18 there was nothing wrong with the market. It was the housing market collapse that brought down everything, created an excellent buying opportunity for long term investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My VGT stocks are up 40% in 2019. Tech stock fans can buy into Nasdaq index funds such as VGT and QQQ, if they do not want to pick individual stocks. Nasdaq funds are not suitable as core holdings for retirees because of the high volatility. Many of us still remember 2000. Don't put too much money into VGT.
