2025 / 2026 Investment Thread

I will sit on what I have, FWIW. I think there is a good run ahead for Au and Ag.
 
Googl still looking pretty healthy. I was considering pulling a little cash out in case things get bumpy in the near term, but dang, the more of it I can let ride the better for future me I think.
 
Future me will most likely still be working and pissed current me took a few years off, or not 😆
 
If you had 50k sitting (languishing) in a cd at 4%, and were somewhat risk averse, what would you do with it? Not my problem, but someone I know is in this situation. This person does not know much about investing, like me.

i'd leave it at 4%. if the renewal rate is down near 0% then i would think about it more

You mean a CD that's about to mature? I would put most or all of it in SGOV, which unlike a CD is liquid and is still around 4% now.

That's assuming he's extremely risk-averse, i.e. doesn't want any stocks, long bonds, or precious metals

Oh I think it's gonna drop, all the EU/NATO stock exchanges dropped 1-2%< in response to 🌮 tariffs to the countries that oppose taking over Greenland, hopefully it comes back by end of week

from what I understand, SC should be ruling on tariffs. Globally markets have struggled today because of the Presidents geopolitical activities. I think tomorrow will open red, and if the SC affirms the presidents ability to raise tariffs, we will see a pretty hard selloff. If the SC reverses course, then we might get a pretty green week.

Either way Im offsides on some covered calls and I have long dated puts as insurance.
 
TACO, once it bottoms buy buy buy.

Consumer discretionary has been flat for many months, I don't think the market has a particularly strong bias on a SCOTUS ruling. The short sellers have been out in force on SCOTUS inaction, seems like we will see small dip if they affirm, and a medium sized lift if they reject.
 
I'm sooooo heavy in TACO right now. Founder's shares are protected by Yeti's.

A certain someone saying things that affect the market, likely while his children tell their buddies right before he does so

Anyway, US futures aren't down very much. Euro stocks and crypto got hit the hardest.

Yellow nuggies are insurance. Brass will be far more invaluable if theres a wide societal collapse.
 
That's futures for like the first 30 mins of action, if you saw new Zealand's, Aussie and China and all the big EU markets it woulda seen easy around 1-2% drop

Still like I said hope it just rebounds by Friday, his entire tariffs then no tarriffs and then we got the deal for Greenland is like blackmail lol
