That sucks man.

Whenever I sell the last of my grain I don’t even look at a market quote for a month. It’s a mental health thing.

Yes, you can contribute to an IRA for unemployed non-working spouse that you file jointly with, but your total combined contribution can't exceed either your joint taxable income or double the annual IRA limit, whichever is less

Things like that happen to everyone. Can't look back and hopefully wherever you moved the money gets you some gains.

Don't look back, there's always more stocks in the sea.

Interesting that the semiconductor sector stocks AVGO, TSM MU, QCOM, INTC and AMD are all down, perhaps a time to get into one of these stocks now?

Yep, I have been following them and most were at All-time highs or close to it.

I own some of those and they were way up but of course they have now taken a hit. They're still up pretty good and I'm just going to hang on and wait for the rebound.

That is a bad beat for sure. Good to hear I am not alone. Between your story and Lew’s commiseration I do feel a bit better about it. Thanks!

Given all the noise about semiconductors recently and the government's intervention to try to box China out, I'd think that semiconductors would be a buy now. I've got three of those stocks that you mention, and a couple of others that aren't on your list, and I'm hoping they'll get a boost soon.

Posting this here as further education for those new investors.


But it goes back to a point I've made to you before. You've only ever invested in a strong bull market and for a very short period of time. Over a lifetime of investing, people are happy to average 8% total returns. The S&P lifetime return is 9.6%. This market you are investing in is not normal and will not continue.

After the dot.com crash there was 10 years of poor stock returns in which investors labeled this time period, "the lost decade." I'll give you one clue why. The S&P returned -2% for this entire 10 year period. "This is a reminder to investors that large U.S. stocks can go long periods of time without generating any gains."

I asked a phenomenally wealthy friend of mine how to get wealthy in investments and he said, " I put my money in a half dozen stable, boring companies that will be around for a very long time and just do the dollar cost average method every month". I know he has mentioned Alphabet Inc, the big tech stocks, water, etc......he says boring is best.

Anyone in UWMC, looks like a nice price boost may be in our futures.

I'm up to 860 shares with an $8.13 average and thinking about making that an even 1000 today.

Well that’s interesting.

I actually have my mortgage through UWMC. They were great to work with too.
