yes and no

the morning day job is a wealth advisor, night time do this. but with sufficient data to plan ahead of the market.

what is the difference between a full-time trader and a part-time trader?

I have a friends who we do together with me, also having same result

Full-time means that is your career. Part-time means just another source of income.

I guess wealth advisory services should be your main career then.

At current levels, where the whole market seem oversold, I will stay put.

But I will only average down if I have strong conviction on the stock.

yup, my part time is to guide my own client some knowledge on invesment

what is your plan initially? trade or investment?

if you plan to trade cut loss

investment if were me, not the time yet, more to go for cheaper price

Let's comfort each other, I entered US Market at the beginning of April, buying TSLA @ 1180 (now DCA to 1120) and I also tried Options which are not doing great (Ouchhh). Fortunately, I'm not borrowing any money to do all this trade (Hinting to a friend who did it if he reading this post). Now my portfolio in the US market is down 35% And I just wanna say, I hope I can have more $$ to buy more now! If you believe in the company (which you should since you picked it), there's no worry since the entire market is going down. Just treat yourself as Mid-year Sales and buy more to lower your average price acquisition. It will eventually bounce back, it's only a matter of time.

In my POV. The current market doesn't happen all the time, if I have plenty of cold cash lying around, I'll buy even more.

Ask yourself do Netflix have a moat? Can they defend their moat? Is their moat being eroded and having it's lunch eaten? If yes by who?

If yes, you have your answer and your decision.

For me, my answer would be
1. They have no moat now. Cause no media company want to sell their content to Netflix and anymore forcing them to do their own content. Other media company will just put it on their own channel. So what makes Netflix unique in this day and age?
2. Judging from report, they are trying. Whether the will be successful is yet to be seen. They are throwing money at it.
3. Yes. Disney is challenging them with marvel, star wars and more experience with making movies Vs Netflix. Not to mention Disney hot plus is a direct competitor to Disney.

That's just my two cents. Between Disney and Netflix, I will feel safer with Disney I/v/o large content library.

That's why I don't buy into Netflix story since I heard Disney launhing their own streaming services and cutting Netflix off their content.

I will never touch Tesla at above 800 mark. My cost is 750 and my next target is 5xx+. If it reached I will buy. That's why I never chase when it's 1k+ . If it never reach 5xx, I am ok. I missed the first one when it drop to 5xx+. I won't miss the 2nd round this time.

Thanks for the advice.

Mostly went it bcs at the time felt like it was at already at super discounted price which I thought should be safe. If drop also I expected it to drop between 1-5 dollars max.
But with the further drop, now I'm panicking a bit bcs I didn't expect it to drop this much when enter.

were i you, i would jump ship to tesla below 800, i reckon tesla has better future, better than stuck at Netflix.

Thanks for sharing. Mostly bought it bcs felt entry was already bottom of the dip and didn't expect to see it slide down any further. I was wrong.

Thanks, if this week have 1 green day. I might consider cutting my lost.

Thanks.

Having a balanced portfolio is important. In such environments, you need toilet paper and pharma counters too. That will help balance out the risk you take, so you will feel better.

Actually no. Never be scared of down market. Have been loading up Google, Adobe, Microsoft. Now looking at visa, Airbnb, BlackRock, amd, Nvidia and Tesla.

Nvidia will be cool at 120+ if can get there. Amd 80 and below.
Tesla 600 and below.

Google, Adobe, Microsoft currently good price so won't argue. When market offer you bargain, take it.

She is new to investing... Need some comfort...

If anything, just own the market. Nothing to be afraid. You need to get your emotions right. As long as you goal is long term and not trying to make quick profits, you will be fine. RiriRuruRara

My NVDA has gone from +50% to circa -20%, but not my overall portfolio, which is in line with the market. So portfolio management is important.

I learned investing by picking up stocks in red market. So I love a red market so much. Please let it continue for another few months.

USD to MYR rate already hit 4.38 + fee = $1 = Rm4.5 , What is the impact if the company share price drop significantly? Does it affect their day-to-day operation?

rule no. 1, never lose money. so how do i do it? I buy options instead of futures. that way i don't have to worry about being whipsawed out of a position. sacrificing some of the profits as time value so that I can cap my max loss per trade.

if you profit 100% and then lose 51%, it's better to just put it under your pillow

to me, netflix has the same aura when Astro Malaysia relisted in Bursa at IPO price of RM3.00

A lower share price will affect equity funding for the company when they want to issue new shares to raise capital. That aside, it may lower the morale of the employees which may reduce work efficiency.

If the fundamentals of the company is solid (business model, financials and management) then as long term investors we should not worry too much about a sharp price drop. In fact, we should take this opportunity to buy if the stock is fairly priced and it has great growths ahead.

In this environment, companies with high debts going to be in trouble if they cannot service their debts.

Indeed portfolio management is important. I believe a lot of readers here use IBKR. Really in such volatile times using fractional shares help to "offset" losses as your per trade total capital is low means can spread out with a few trades as it goes down and you intend to average down. 35 cents fee per trade is tolerable even with a few trades.

Just to share I buy US stock direct via Syfe only recently and yes also caught in the up and down volatility but like ppl say if you have conviction in the stocks you can hold long term. Typical US tech stocks beaten down like googl, msft, aapl, tsla etc are all on sale but it can go lower of cuz. I was eyeing mcd (non-tech stock) as I saw their presence all over the countries I visit. I wonder why KFC don't have a US counter ?

if you watch bloomberg or yahoo finance, you know KFC is under NYSE: YUM
