My accounts were up huge today.

Thanks!

Big mistake man.

My AMZN 401K and RSU's just jumped by factor of 20.

I'm going to boost my 401K contribution and add a bigger percentage into the stock

AAPL
GOOGLE 20:1 split coming
AMZN 20:1 split coming

Or diversify between a combination of the 3 or just 2

Keep in mind that since 1/1/2018: 4 years

AAPL 269%
GOOGL 150%
AMZN 153%

Russian bonds and meme stocks, fool.

I’d probably split it between the 3.

Facebook at 14 P/E.

It's getting crazy cheap. If it hits 10-12 P/E, I'm all in.

I feel like Goog has the most impregnable market position from a defensive perspective. Amazon has the most growth potential since they're diversified, and Apple's attraction is mostly that they have so much cash on hand that they'll withstand a downturn well.

I'd probably just split it between the three.

The one thing Apple has over the other 2 is brand loyalty.

I’m a long way from the industry but I feel like at some point the pendulum has to swing the other way on internet advertising. I mean Super Bowl ads have backed off, and that’s the NFL, live sports, tradition, the whole thing.

Surprisingly the DIA hasn’t been taking the beating that the others have. Maybe it’s trying to find a bottom.

Cathy Wood's ARK is sinking...........

Jim Cramer called her out and said she was like a first time money manager and was doing nothing to protect the downside, blindly thinking she is smarter than the market.

Blowtorched her.

[scho63]

She's down like 68% from the high

It's not exactly the Q's but more than half the NASDAQ composite was down 50+% heading into the week. It's been brutal on a lot of those stocks for a while

I saw this weekend that generic bonds, if it held through end of quarter, would be off to the worst 1st Q in 40 years. It looks like Vanguard's BND is down 4% ytd. That doesn't even include the fact that the Real yield is crazy negative.

I feel bad for people retired or close, I have no idea what you'd do. We have multi-decade high inflation and I think cash would have been the best place to be so far this year.
