⚡ When Lightning Strikes the Market: My Strategy of Calm and Cashflow

In times of market panic, most retail investors run — I don’t. I stay, and if the setup is right, I press in. I’ve learned that real wealth is built not during the bull market, but in the fearful chaos of a downturn. It’s when prices disconnect from fundamentals that my edge reveals itself. Many panic-sell, hoping to sidestep the crash. But history is clear: missing the worst days may spare you pain, but missing the best rebound days costs you fortune. It’s not timing the market that wins — it’s strategic positioning with discipline and patience. ⸻ 📉 When Others Sell, I Sell Puts On green days, when stocks are stable or rising, I lean into opportunity. Take my Alphabet (GOOGL) position as an example. I own 101 shares of GOOGL, purchased at an average cost of $135.47 — now sitting at $168.1

First, let’s talk about timing—or rather, why trying to time the market is like trying to catch an actual lightning bolt with your bare hands.

🌟🌟🌟Investing is very much like being exposed to the elements in the weather.  One day it is sunny, the next day it could be stormy.  In the course of my investing journey, there have been lots of adverse weather, some even with electrifying scary lightning strikes. However being a seasoned investor, I take it in my stride, striving to remain calm and focused on my goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early. When the lightning strikes, it is time to take action by buying quality stocks that are on sale.  Volatility is the price I am prepared to pay for long term gains. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
Buy companies with huge moat, strong financials, good technicals and strong upside potential. @BABY SPACEROCK
Strike while the iron is hot for opportunities are hard to come by.

Able to catch the good stock during a market crash and to benefit from its rebound later is of course the best scenario all investors hope for. Knowing when to buy and sell a stock is vital for an investor’s survival. It is important that an investor should stay engaged with the market and be able to sense the change in market direction.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When it comes to the stock market, timing is everything — or is it? Investors often dream of catching the next Tesla before it takes off, the next Nvidia before AI became a trillion-dollar buzzword, or Bitcoin before it hit $100k. But here's the million-dollar question: Do you really need to be there when lightning strikes — or is it enough to just be in the storm? Lightning moments — earnings beats, Fed pivots, geopolitical surprises — are unpredictable. Trying to catch them is like standing in a field holding a metal rod, hoping for glory but risking a shock. Some traders chase the flash, hoping for that one perfect trade. But the quiet accumulators, the patient ones who weather the storm and stick to the fundamentals, ofte

Data has shown that it is hard to time the market and even professionals don’t get it right. This is further compounded with trump as president with tariffs and potential trade wars that adds to volatility. I think the easiest way is to stay invested. It is definitely important to make sure that one has sufficient cash to deploy when the market is down. Luck and guts are definitely important to be able to scoop up good stocks when stock crash. When the market is up, I think having the decisiveness to take profit to secure the gains would be beneficial to having sufficient cash to deploy again when the market pulls back. Swing trading is also beneficial to adding to gains. One cannot be too greedy. Afterall, no one can always buy at the lowest and sell at the highest.
@GoodLife99 @koolgal @LMSunshine @Shyon @Aqa @Universe宇宙 @rL @SPACE ROCKET @HelenJanet staying invested be it up or down is important... especially in downturn, will buy more since the price is good. equally important is to not panic and try to stay calm [Cool] [Cool] [Cool] Does that mean the
buy and hold the best but must be strong companies... my thought process to start investing starting from easiest to hardest. 1. Buy index 2. Buy Mag 7 3. Buy tech or sectors you know well 4. Diverse into other sectors for balance.

What Should Investors Do When Lightning Hits The Stock Market?

🌟🌟🌟Donald Trump is at it again - announcing  50% tariffs for the EU and 25% for Apple, one of the heaviest weight on the S&P 500 Index.  It is as if Lightning has hit the stock market which is  still slowly recovering from Trump's April 2 Tariffs.  What should investors do when lightning hit the stock markets?  The answer depends on your investment strategy.  Active Traders versus Long Term Investors  Active traders often monitor the markets closely, reacting to news, earnings and macroeconomic events in real time.  If you are trading on short term volatility, being present when "lightning strikes" can be crucial.  Long Term investors however, focus on broader trends rather

Every body "10 days " is different. Just like those reports that always posted on the internet " Eg, if you have bought this or that particular stock 3 , or 5 ,or 10 years ago etc. They will choose the year that benefits their writing... So missing which 10 days,?🤗🤗

Apparently away most of the time when lightning strikes. Just buy if the price seems reasonable and can sell for quick profit or hold longer term.
I realized I always sell the stocks when the market crashed & I was too greedy that didn't lock in the profit when it was at the peak. Now I'm still learning to buy & hold, and be patient to avoid any emotional transaction. Salute to those who are able to grab the dip & very patient to ride with the rocky momentum till achieving above 100% profit.
