For me, I'm planning to play a dead-cat bounce at the end of the day. If this is "The" correction, it's already half over, in just 8 days. Orders to buy XIV (Inverse volatility) and SPY/VOO (depending on the account) in the last minute of trading with an intent to consider offloading early in the day tomorrow. Over time, the concept of "Buy the close/Sell the open" is a huge outperformer.  |

Markets cannot always go up, we were long overdue for some type of a sell off.

reading c1916's posts makes me worry i'm falling in on some insider trading. I think the FTC would have a hard time proving insider trading when one is buying basket of stocks (SPY/VOO) or the volatility index. BTW...the orders into the close are overweight to the sell side by a considerable margin suggesting that the next 15 minutes will be in the red direction. |

So much for my dead-cat bounce theory on volatility. Sometimes the cat really is just plain dead.
The XIV that I traded at the close today, since it represents the inverse of the volatility futures, actually went to almost zero after hours. Since the VIX was up over 100% today, and the inverse of 100% is 0...there's a good chance that this is one will go bust.
Managed to get out with an 60% haircut by trading after-hours. Maybe it won't go to zero...but, not willing to take that chance.

And...take it for what it's worth from a guy that was completely wrong less than two hours ago, but if the XIV and similar inverse derivatives go bust overnight, guess what happens to stocks tomorrow morning. For right now, things are red in the futures market for tomorrow, but relatively calm (down less than 1%). When the alorithms kick in in the morning, though, who knows.
This time I hope I'm wrong.

Decided to be a little risky lemming and put some dough into $AMD today and currently at 2.0% so ayyyy.
Since doing this about 4 months ago my portfolio has gone up 9% which I'm somewhat happy with. Really wish I put more money in $NFLX instead of $AMZN since I've seen a 31% return on that.

If anyone wants to play around with Robinhood for investing a few dollars here or there and also wants a free stock, let me know because I have some referral codes.

CSCO kinda looks like it's in a dip to me It was. It's now moving up pretty nice. It's close to it's 52 week high at this point. I need to find Bill & Ted and go back in time to March 2018. |

Really wish I put more money in $NFLX instead of $AMZN since I've seen a 31% return on that. This turned out to be a really smart buy. c1916 , I hope you weren't part of the XIV travesty. Unfortunately, I was. I understood the risks. The one-day math definitely caught me out, though. When you're in an inverse vehicle and the underlying index goes up 100%, there's no way around the fact that the math says that the inverse must, by definition, go to zero. On that day when the VIX spiked, the XIV dropped a few dollars, and I left the office thinking nothing of the fact that the VIX had actually doubled.
The fortunate thing is that I saw it the carnage starting after hours, and although the XIV dropped from somewhere around 90 to the point where I sold (mid 20's), I sold it all in an off hour trade and just took the gut punch. By the morning, it was single digits and a week later it had dissolved.
They can't all be winners, I suppose.
