FTR, I can't recall any poster in here bragging about being millionaires in here.

Don't need to; over the years it has been established that if you post on TexAgs you are a millionaire.

Being a millionaire ain't what it used to be.

the fact that odds of a rate cut in December have dropped precipitously in the last week must have something to do with this

and people are just very fearful that the AI trade will unwind.

Greed and Fear index was at 21 last night.

if you believe in Warren Buffett- NOW is the time to buy when everyone else is fearful.

This isn't the fear Buffet talks about, being barely off ATH's.

Like I've always said, patience with BRKB is the answer to all of life's problems

Bunch of people need to edit their data on the "millionaires" thread on this forum. I'll start an ex-millionaires thread for those of us shoving cash into nuclear, crypto, and mining stocks.

I've never visited the "millionaires" thread so I'm just replying to your comment on this thread.

Your words reek of anger and regret, that means emotion drives your decisions. How many times over the years has everyone been advised to remove emotion from their trading? How many times have you read of folks raising cash and dismissed the concerns they were seeing? How many times have you read that advice dismissed and even outright mocked on here?

I'm not picking on you, but if you're saying just buy BRKB is the way to go, then just put your money into an index fund and don't worry about it. However, actively managing your money does produce far greater returns as long as you remove emotion and remain disciplined. That is a fact!

FTR, I can't recall any poster in here bragging about being millionaires in here. Remove emotion, stay disciplined and you will successfully compound your accounts and create wealth.



My post was 100% self-deprecating and facetious. I guess that didn't come through. I've posted numerous times about how disappointing BRKB has been over the last few months so I was joking now that it finally had a small positive run.

As far as the millionaires thread, that was simply sarcasm that some people that were millionaires last month might no longer be so with the recent plummet of many speculative stocks.

I'm not angry at all. Stocks go up, stocks go down. Life goes on.

Don't get your hopes up quite yet, but this action could put in a bullish engulfing on the daily. Still needs a lot of work, but 10pts recovery in an hour is damn impressive.

Everyone is afraid to be short going into the weekend now because inevitably someone from the Administration is going to go on the Sunday morning shows and say something like "we're going to have a trade deal with China next week" that sends the market higher on Monday,

By the middle of the week the market will figure out that they are full of **** and will drift back down again.

looking at my porfolio, almost all of the stuff I'm down on is one-off AI or AI related, e.g., energy. Fortunately, I didn't invest much in any of these and am only down a few hundred on most. There were a few I bet more very foolishly.

Lesson learned. I'm not going to panic sell or anything, but I need to be more disciplined and less emotional with trades.

You may be the only one still in (if they heeded HA's stop which it fell below this morning).

I definitely would agree on this a couple/few weeks ago and before, but what is there to still make an announcement on? Not sure if there is anything to be making people sit on pins and needles. By all means, I could be totally overlooking something as I have not been in tune as much as normal over these last couple of weeks.

It's actually definitely possible. But not guaranteed. If it happens, I've got it lasting as late as Feb or March. Then we get a nearly 1 year apart slump to rival or exceed this year's.

So a question for you. You had a stop at $14.45 - - it dipped just below there to $14.43 before rebounding 10% in a couple of hours to $15.95.

Do you chalk this up to bad luck and the calculations on the stop amount are a little subjective? For your next stop calculation do you give an extra few percentage points to avoid this? Or you hold firm in your strategy knowing that the $14.43 could have kept going down to $13.95 instead.

Down just on the day maybe? but how are you down on AI in the even short term? Most AI Stocks are up 50-100% YTD.

I'm a noob and probably wrong about everything, but I do trailing stop losses for everything when I'm taking the profits. Half the time you'll have regrets in the same day when you see it keep going up after the trigger was hit. Gotta learn to be happy with what you walked away with and not sweat what you didn't walk away with. You still walked away a winner.

The trade was placed on a hit of the 61.8% retrace. At that point, it had a potential nested setup pointing massively higher. The stop was at the 76.4% retrace. I give it to that point as it can still be bullish holding that. Once below that, I consider it highly unreliable as outlined, with a greater chance of failure than success, and I get out. Sometimes it will do what it did today and resume up. If so, it should make another 5-wave move up around to or below the previous high, and I would buy back in on a 3 wave move to a higher low. But too often, not holding the 76.4% retrace ends up as bad news. And my alternate count here was that the recent high was part of an "expanded flat" correction where it actually makes a new high and then comes back to the previous low. I'd rather not hold to $12.50 area hoping it stops there.

Also on CORZ - you have to remember that my situation is not yours. I was in on this one when it was CORZQ before it came out of bankruptcy. I made crazy gains on this one over the last 2 years. This failed stab cost me a tiny chunk of the gains.

Mostly recent purchases. Very small investments < $5k each..Energy and A.I. I'm still up on things I purchased a while back and on my big spends.
