  investing is a marathon and there's always up and down... which is why it's important to invest in good and stable companies that have proven themselves...

  during the down trend, it's an opportunity to buy the dip... [Sly] [Sly] [Sly]

  The trend of continuing decline and a sharp drop after earnings seems inevitable.

  In this situation, would you go with the flow of the market to cut losses?

  Or are you a steadfast believer who will hold on?

  Which type of trader are you?
  

  
  

  How will you trade this earnings season?

  I will not go with the market flow as I am a long term investor, I will try my best to invest in blue chip stocks with high dividends and always try to use auto-investing method to average down my cost price whenever the stock price has dropped below my cost price.

  Auto-invest starts with a very small amount from $2 which is very affordable for most small investors like me.

  Stock investment is not like gambling, we need to do alot of homework in order not to incur huge losses. Conducting thorough research like analyzing the financial performance of the companies & company fundamentals, be updated on the market trends & geopolitical factors are some of important factors in making stock investment decision.

  Reading several stock analyst's evaluation report of the stock as a reference, might also help us to make investment decision.

  We also need to understand that stock market is like roller coaster, the stock price always keep repeating the process of going up and then going down. However, for some stocks with weak fundamentals and poor financial performance, the downward trending of their stock price can also be never ending until the stock is suspended or delisted. Therefore we must exercise prudence when making decision in our stock investment in order not to lose all of our hard earn money.

  Part 4 - You may say oh. All these evaluations are just in retrospect or that I bought the wrong stock. Look at Coinbase (fell to a low of $30 in 2022), NVIDIA (to a low of $120), Tesla, Microsoft, Google and Amazon. They fell crazily badly too. Who would have known NVIDIA would rise from its low of $120 in Oct 2022 to its recent price of $900?

  Let me know what you guys think.

  Sorry for the many parts, there is word limit lol.

  Part 3 - Still don't get it? Let me give you another example with MARA. I saw MARA slipped from $30 (Jan 2022) all the way down to $3.20 (Dec 2022). I was one of those who DCA-ed at the start. And eventually found it stupid. Say I own 5000 shares at $32, if I sold them all at $30 when it was falling, I'd get back  $150,000. Yes, I may have made a loss of $10,000. But listen. When it drops to $5 (assuming we can't catch the bottom of $3.18 on 29 Dec 2022), with my $150,000 from my earlier sale, I could have bought 30,000 shares at $5. And when MARA rose to its $32 bucks in Dec 2023, I would have profited heavily.

  2 scenarios. If you do not have money to DCA, you'd have to wait 1 year before MARA came back to your buy price! If you DCA-ed till you get sick of it, you still have to wait a long time. And in that 1 year of waiting, I could have channeled that $150,000 into somewhere else + option trading to earn another $100,000. Instead of playing the waiting and DCA till no end game.

  Part 2- Assuming I bought SPY at $520 and stocks have started to slip. With news of ongoing Middle East Conflicts + accelerating inflation + possibility of FED's higher for longer stance / no rate cuts this year + possible recession outlook (market sentiments + analysts' deductions) + falling markets in the region, I'd expect SPY to fall further. That being said, yall will say, just DCA when it drops. Yah. DCA till which point? Till I run out of money to DCA? So nopes, I'd sell my holdings at a slight loss. Say $510 (assuming that's the max loss I can take). And buy back in trenches at prices much lower than $400. This will allow me to own MORE SHARES than when I held at $520 and watch it fall to DCA. And if I were to buy the same amount of shares when it drops to say $480, then this gives me a 'cash savings' of ($510-$480) x number of shares I buy.

  As we observe, US market major indexes have been rallied since early of the year mainly boost by AI frenzy. And for the recent 2 weeks, the market seems to begin to pullback especially on the AI related theme stocks. For me, I am more towards technical trade for my entry and exit. For my holdings, I will usually take partial profit if the bullish stocks drop below EMA10 trendline support and will fully lock my profit once the stocks continue to breach below EMA25 support.

  Well, this strategy works pretty fine for me. We need to understand that we cannot earn every cent from the market, see profit takes profit is good enough. Come and share you strategy with us too, guys.
