“Riding the Q train can be fun if you have nerves of steel!”

That’s if your a trader. If you’re a long term investor (5 or more years), just buy the Qs and go to sleep. You’re pretty much guaranteed to be ahead when you wake up.

The past 5 year it’s gone up 150%. Over the last ten years, 375%!!

Timing the market is a fool’s game.

I don’t disagree. It depends on your risk profile.

And it’s not as much fun, if that’s what you’re looking for.

“Timing the market is a fool's game.”

hmmmm .....
I'm the Q train rider ... you could at least ping me.

Everyone has different interests, goals and approaches...
I have been in the market for sometime now...
And I enjoy sharing ideas and insights..

Buy and hold is sort of a bland topic ...
A good strategy ... but not very much fun.

Everyone has a hobby, something that gives them a bit of satisfaction in life.
Some people golf, some travel around, some buy a bass boat.

I like to trade .... a lot of people like to trade
Trading actively
keeps your head in the game, your mind in the news and your
adrenaline up.

I enjoy discussing long term holdings, dividends, mkt caps , short interest, financials, earnings, whatever.

So what will you add to the topic...?
“I bought the Q 5 years ago”
That's great .. I did too ..but is that it?

What are looking at now..?
If I was just looking at the market today .. what should I be aware of?
Should I get some gold?
Buy NVIDIA now at 778 or wait for a pull back?
Or are we looking at a pop ...

Remember this is not for financial advise it's only ENTERTAINMENT

IT really helps the time go by when I'm watching the numbers.
.... it's better than a bass boat.
