And this is why market timing seldom works. If you believed the fear, you sold at lows and staying in cash caused you to miss out on the past 6 months of gains.

My daughters "MAIN" dividend stock is up 50.3755% since we bought it 1/06/21. That's 20% per year through all this up and down crap.

ETRADE shows only 22.62% gain because it doesn't figure in dividend reinvestment.
Annoying,

we started with $3196 and the ending value is $4806. That's 50%

Hmm, looks like my IRA is up 12% this year.

I’m a long way from retirement but I feel like I’d take that every year if given the option of that or the market.

It’s early but it looks like me finally taking the plunge and getting VOO was a good choice. At this point I wish I had gotten more.

Down $5 today , bad investment Rainman :-)

Yeah, it's amazing. No one had the first half of this year being great.
This is expected to be the 3rd consecutive qtr of S&P earnings recession too. It's mostly energy dragging down what'd be a flat quarter otherwise.

Consumer discretionary is expected to be the best quarter at +27% yoy growth. If you take out just Amazon, it goes down to 6% for the whole rest of the group. The size of those big companies has become unreal. The NASDAQ 100 is supposed to rebalance today to lower the big tech companies weightings.

Yeah, that hurt. Now I'm only up 550 percent on it.

Buy and hold is a great strategy for stocks that go up dramatically every year.

I'll be giving my TSLY 10K investment update next week.

The only downside is that buy and hold is not a great strategy for stocks that go down every year, and I haven't figured out how to identify the risers and fallers ahead of time.

Yeah QQQ was down like a motherfucker but it’s led the way up.
