WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?!
 
I'm not playing for the thrill of fucking victory here. I owe rent, alimony, child support. I play for money.
 
Is there any point at all in buying any shares or index funds right now?

Even if there isn't the widely expected correction, because things are so overvalued right now, right across the board, most forecasts expect growth to be very minimal for quite some time.

Although of course, the big unknown is how much more legs the bull has left. He does seem to be running out of steam though.

But because recent growth has been so exceptional and current valuations are so high, that just cannot keep on carrying on indefinitely. Can it?

It's kind of an 'academic point' for me right now anyway tbh, as I've recently had to clean out my emergency fund due to one of life's major expenses having just happened. So any spare money will be going towards trying to top that back up again, for the foreseeable.

In my opinion, just from reading your post because I haven't even looked at the market for a couple months, id probably find 4 or 5 ETFs in different sectors. Id look for ones that have been around for a year or so at least, ones that are in sectors that have a hard time failing no matter what the economy is like, and the icing on the cake would be if it's actually a good prediction to outpace everything else.

The thing about indexes is they can easily move sideways.

So can ETFs of course but at least you have some control over what is in the fund, so either way if you do well or not, you can praise or blame it on yourself.

One of the things I hate is missed opportunities. Similarly but opposite, id rather lose money on my own decisions though than lose it because of something totally unpredictable.
 
when it gets rugged i'll buy a parrot for my shoulder and teach it to say sound money
 
SLV at 90 rsi on the weekly chart 👀

It has two gaps in the 60's that haven't been filled

Feel like it's just like "but solar panel demand" in 2011 making it spike, but this time it's "but data center demand", or I'm wrong and short it here and lose
 
i dunno man, PMs are too opaque for me to fuck with

the premiums on SLV are shit, i can't even come up with a good strategy that's worth the hassle
 
it's funny how all the people saying silver is valuable as an industrial metal just keep theirs in a lock box hoping for hyperinflation
 
problem with BTC is it's hard to value

could be as a hedge against financial oppression

U.S. seems best for financial freedom right now

everywhere else is trying to push ahead with the digital ID and digital dollarinos

the new soviet union
 
This could be it. A huge gap almost never happens with the actual silver price instead of etf's or whatever. Big gap then a quick ~10% drop from the high...

Pulls back to 65-70 for a month then goes to 100, lol. Who knows, but it definitely looks like a pullback for the next couple weeks at least
 
honestly not surprised

i saw multiple point-by-point breakdowns of silver fundamentals over the weekend, all concluding that the price MUST MOON!!

here's something interesting, compare SLV (paper) volume to PSLV (metal) volume over the past year

i suppose if PSLV volumes start rising again, it could mean SLV volume will follow
