neville Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 And my naivety slapped me hard in the face. Two of my mutual funds are in the red. Must be the market movement causing it. Oh well. I'll infuse more funds (buying at lower NAVPS) and will see what direction their performance will head to--hopefully north. 1 Quote Link to comment

Investing for the long-term so that when it is down, you are buying at discounts! Also, I would suggest to compare it from year-ago account balance as opposed to say, last week or last month. That way, almost always, laging gain. Of course, this is only possible pag at least 1-year na yung account LOL. Another thing I like to do is "booking" only 92% of the account balance. This means hindi ako nag-eexpect na yung buong account ko is hindi na bababa. Kahit ps bumagsak ang market by 8%, break-even lang sa 92% "booked" value. Rare naman bumabagsak for more than 8%, and when it does, aakyat na rin agad. Case in point what happened in end of last year when the market was down and then start of this year up to now, narecover rin 95% of the losses. 1 Quote Link to comment

It will average itself out specially your looking at withdrawing it decades away from now. The short term giration of the market does not matter much, specially for an idexer (Boglehead) like me.

MRROUGHSEX Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 SPY threatened early to break resistance level of 289.1 by opening at 289.3 but from there, it was business as usual as it went back up to 293. Quote Link to comment

Not a single 30%+ crash since March of 2009. It has been so long that it feels like we will never see any again. Partay time Forever!!! Quote Link to comment

Don't know if I should watch it, I might get sad when I see how fund staff makes money even if our investments lose haha! Quote Link to comment

Don't know if I should watch it, I might get sad when I see how fund staff makes money even if our investments lose haha!The Wolf of Wall Street scams people by misrepresenting the penny stocks they are selling by fabricating huge future gains. No market research, no analysis. Illegal, crime. Hence, the jail. I'd recommend to watch it still to see Margot Robbie LOL. Sure they had Partay Time but it's not Forever. The reality is much better. This Partay Time is Forever! Even with the recent 2.5% drop from the top, we are still very much near the top. Last Christmas, the market was getting close to 20% drop but I didn't really believe it is going to continue going down so I was enjoying the ride instead as stock go on discount. I will worry when we hit 30%+ drop but highly unlikely. What is happening is slow growth. For example, the market is basically flat from the highs on 26th of January 2018. That is 15 months of consolidation of cash! Which means when market starts going down 10%, 20% these cash hoarders will jump back in and bring it back to even new highs! So as long as one can ignore the daily fluctuations in the market and just continue buying at regular intervals (AKA cost averaging), it is almost a Risk-Free gig we got going here. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is what i do, i just add new ETFs shares every month (cost averaging) irrespective of the market going up or down. I have $14k at my savings account ready to be deployed. Hinintay ko lng pagpasok ng sweldo sa akinse pra madeploy ko na to (transfer to my brokerage account to buy my favorite ETFs). 1 Quote Link to comment
