... waiting for recession to whack all in

my stocks no stoploss...chill & collect dividend only

question, if you have a stock that pays no dividend like Amazon, would you use a stop loss?

because if it goes down and you didn't lock your profit, then really rugi, no? and no dividend somemore.

sure. do whatever for a good night's sleep man

you can also buy puts to hedge or short futures

Same here. Can't wait for recession. My cash getting too big.

I will just add more.

not sure what makes me sleep better.

true, however, wouldn't it be better to have the trailing stop loss activated, auto liquidate your position and buy again at the bottom?

You need to find your own style. Don't follow people.
You can never catch bottom.

is it time to top up now?

Depends. If you regularly DCA then yes.
If you like 1% drop like that by all means.
If you are like me wanting a 10-20% drop you wait.

waiting while holding cash?

Of course. Cash is King in times of sales. No cash cannot capitalised on sales provided by Mr Market.

After 20% then how? In 50% first?

Stay the course no matter what

I have a question, just found out FZROX with 0% expenses ratio, but there's two draw back:
1. US domicile, 30% WHT
2. Dividend once per year

Maybe there's a Ireland domicile version of it I haven't discover?

FZROX's almost identical twin mutual fund is Vanguard's VTSAX, which has an ETF equivalent VTI tracking U.S. all cap index.

From there you can probably mix and match an Irish domiciled S&P500 ETF (~80%) with a Mid/Small Cap ETF (~20%).

Smaller investment amount, just go with S&P500 alone as you'd be dragged by transaction fees to maintain 2 funds.

that's true...I allocated my money for 80% CSPX and 20% EIMI in previous month and regretted immediately after seeing the charges for each...

prepare for trouble and make it double?

time to double your investment?
