You mean if Musk didn't offer to buy TWTR, TSLA won't dip?

I don't think so. TSLA is way to over-price on hype. All other major ETF that has TSLA (like ARKK) begin to unwind,
they're unloading TSLA as well, adding more pressure to it.

Then again, I think Musk may have saved TWTR from the intense sell off that we're experiencing now.
It's still above the gap up price after he made that announcement.

I think tonight is the potential bounce from the lows now.. SP500 will tip toe over to the bear side and it's going to do that
show and dance.

No wonder TSLA up today

When i thought US Stock is already quite bad since the War Started, our comrade from crypto... especially those staking UST/Luna seems sank into deep sea. 99.9%. Nothing is absolute, i wonder increase in investors will have an impact on how volatile is the market considering there are even more investors compare to 10 years ago.

As someone born in the 70s I can confirm what you post. 10 or even 30 years ago to invest is not so easy. No internet, no mobile phone, buy/sell stocks is use lease-line or public phone booth call up remisier help execute. And initial capital for most investment vehicle is high. Which is why last time most ppl dabble in bank FD, insurance endowment, insurance protection, stocks in own local country stock exchange as overseas exchange the fees are super expensive! etc.

Now is year 2022, more options but along with it come the super fast transformation. This lead me to believe the old traditional methods like bank FD, insurance etc still held a spot in today investing arena. You will be called old fogey it is ok at least your own monies remain green color. Chasing higher returns entails so much higher risk. I did keep up with the times and attempt to try the newer investment too but cautiously as I always ask in forum what is the initial capital to start enter. My rule of thumb has always been 100 can enter. And robo now up the game 1 also can enter. So I enter but I always enter with small amount to test water. If good then add in more.

Crypto is always based off hopium and little fundamentals. Now with liquidity drying up, let's see how long can crypto live.

tsla shareholders happy Elon's twtr purchase put on hold?

Twtr premarket down 10%
Elon bro can press the price?

It is more about the Elon try to get cheaper price.

With the market now. Twtr is probably around $25.

Elon is holding the twtr board ball.

You can read the Hindenburg research story.

don't know why he offer so high price in the first place... probably to squeeze the board like you say...

I think it's pump and dump..

The crypto game now is like a huge ponzi scheme now. Makes no absolute sense.. all can be created and destroyed on the fly with no absolute no limit of any kind as long as the computers stay up.

What happened today definitely change others views on crypto, It will be even harder for any country to regulate crypto from now on.

New book to recommend, published in 2022:

"The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy" by Christopher Leonard



https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-...d/9781982166632

Interesting read on the politics of the Fed and some of the details of US Treasury securities are issued. Some account of details like the 1991 Solomon's illegal cornering of T-bills issuance in the primary market and how Jeremy Powell managed to settle the "crisis". Also some educational topics on coporate debt issuance, CLOs and what private equity firms can do to small companies.

You will see the world of high finance in Washington DC and New York, how power from DC can influence corporate deals in Wall Street and how PE firms in DC can excel against their NY peers with "insider info". See for yourself how a low and next-to-zero interest rate has done to the high finance world.

I can find the book online. If you can't find it just let me know. I can send the soft copy. Happy reading.

For bank stock/bond investors, as mentioned in this book, Tom Hoenig from the FDIC has created a Global Capital Index which computes the true capital ratio for the various big banks around the world as compared to the "self-reported" ratios, which are based on highly-disputed "risk-weighted assets".

You can find the data up to the end of 2017 here: https://www.fdic.gov/about/learn/board/hoenig/global.html

Tom Hoenig is the former governor of the Kansas Fed, he would be the lone opponent to QE when it was launched in the aftermath of the Great Recession (check the Fed meeting records and throughout the Bernanke years his votes look like: no, no, no, no, no, no, ...)

You know, sometimes you just can't regulate stupidity.

If someone wants to want take a speckle of sand from the beach one day and call it a rare gem, and convince everybody else who believes him/her it is as good as gold.

That someone is either super smart or everybody else who believes him/her is stupid.

Cut a better deal.

but this is also the stock market model... everyone decides tsla is worth 1k... and it suddenly its mcap is larger than the top auto makers combined... lol

I started to invest end of last year and bought at the highest point of stock market, but it crashes a lot now and ruin my portfolio. What is the best suggestion?

Treat it as a lesson fee and don't be discouraged. Reflect back on why it was bad call.

What is your target length of time in market? I started end 2020, but still underwater. For me no issue as my time horizon is at least a decade out (probably 2 or 3).
