Yes please! 😉Will the fed throw cold water on the rally? Me thinks yes.

Yup. I'm shorting both.META up 20% today, sheesh.
AMZN also up big.
All my six index funds took a dive today, because it was the first day trading without being paid 2023 dividends. All mine are set to automatically reinvest dividends.5000 S&P500 in sight.
AMC broke through its $4 floor.
That combination right there should sink in with people. Think about it and then think again. That is why diversification, slow-and-steady, and index/mutual funds are the recommendation of just about every expert on investing.
You can spend all your time, follow all the trends, have infinite discussions on Reddit and here, do all the hocus pocus drawing of lines on charts, spend fortunes on financial advisors, whatever, and you'll eventually lose out to someone who just bought a simple S&P500 fund and forgot about it.
I'm not sure that I understand your intended point.All my six index funds took a dive today, because it was the first day trading without being paid 2023 dividends. All mine are set to automatically reinvest dividends.
Well, it is not something I can change as I don't manage the funds. But otherwise you are correct.I'm not sure that I understand your intended point.
If you have 1000 shares of $10 stock ($10,000 value), and if it pays a $1 dividend automatically reinvested, then you should end up with 1111 shares of $9 stock ($9,999 value plus $1 leftover).
If you only look at the share price, they take a dive. But if you look at the total value of your investment, they stay the same (plus or minus whatever moves the stock did during the day).
Dividends in of themselves do not gain or lose money for you. Taxes on those dividends are a different matter though.
You get far more bang for your buck, in terms of societal reduction of refined crude oil, with hybrids. There are many resource limitations down to the mine level that constrain how many batteries can be made. You can jam 70 kwh into a Tesla of use that for 5-10x as many hybrids and PHEVs. The gallons of gas/diesel that are saved from those hybrids and PHEVs will outweigh fewer but full EV cars in my estimation. It's just not anywhere near as sexy.All of those issues are improving faster than if we'd wasted decades on more hybrids, plug in or otherwise. People forget where the EV market was 10 years ago.
Yes, hybrids are great (particularly for 1-car households or those without reliable access to charging), but these are all theoretical discussions, aren't they? Americans have shown that they have a "preference" for land tanks based on what they buy.You get far more bang for your buck, in terms of societal reduction of refined crude oil, with hybrids.

I think I am going to throw some of my gambling money at this mess. They cut their dividend and the stock price dropped almost 70% because they wrote off two big loans, and had to increase reserves because they reached the over 100 B in assets. They recently bought the assets of Signature bank and Flagstaff bank, so they are in essence three banks in one, at 1/3 third the price of the original bank. They are approaching too big to fail at this point, because if they did fail, it would be like three banks failing. So my gamble is 20% chance of failure, 40% chance of doubling and 40% chance of quadrupling from here. They have the same AUM as Synchrony Financial but at less than 1/3 the market cap. The big scary thing is the CRE market, but only about 16% of their assets are exposed and NY real estate is still the best real estate to be in.NYCB in freefall.
