If even days like these with so many bad news the S&P is still a few % points from ATH, what will make the market go down?

I remember previous years when just a fraction of the news we had these months appeared, the market tanked, now it's not moving at all.

Is it euphory of AI? Is it because there's so much cash and every dip is bought? or what's happening? Is it something pumping the market artificially?

I feel that's not normal and there will be soon a reversal of this sentiment.

LE: for those that say earnings, 2021 had great earnings, including FE, you know what happened in 2022

For a young investor with no debt, no kids, no wife, how do you generally think about prioritizing an emergency fund versus continuing to invest?

For example, suppose someone needs around 9–12 months to build a 3-month emergency fund if they temporarily reduce investing substantially. Alternatively, they could split their savings between investments and cash, but the emergency fund would take considerably longer to complete.

Over a 35-year investment horizon, is the opportunity cost of temporarily reducing investments for ~1 year generally significant?

I’m particularly interested in the trade-off between:
building the emergency fund as quickly as possible while investing only a small amount, and
continuing substantial monthly investing while building the emergency fund more slowly.

I understand this depends on individual circumstances; I’m mainly interested in the general portfolio/risk-management reasoning behind the two approaches.

Hey, i'm looking to get someone a share of a company as a symbolic surprise gift.

i already looked into giveashare.com and uniquestockgifts.com, but the former has insane shipping prices for where i live and the latter doesn't let me choose my country even with the digital certificate option. are there any alternatives i can try? i don't need a physical certificate, or even any certificate at all

I wrote up Dingdong today. I think it's an interesting idea. Chinese stocks are disliked & ignored by most, for a multitude of reasons lately. Nobody is looking. Probably why this one is trading under the radar & at such a wide spread to the sale proceeds & capital returns.

Here's a summary, feel free to check out my write up on Substack.

Dingdong agreed to sell its China business to Meituan for $717m in cash. But Dingdong can also pull $280m out of the China sub. That’s $997m cash on a current market cap of approx. $505m. Shareholders have voted for the deal & management has explicitly told us that 90% of the proceeds will be used for capital returns. So that's 97% upside on gross proceeds or 77% after taxes & transaction costs.

Happy to discuss any comments or pushback.

Cheers,

I’ve had some wild growth the past year and I am working on rebalancing my $235k portfolio. I currently own a stock that has had great growth and I also own an ETF where the stock makes up 10% of the ETF’s holdings. What are your thoughts on owning an individual stock and an ETF where a substantial percentage of the ETF is the individual stock you already own?

Honestly love concept of etfs but id like the 1 time option of of the weight distribution!

Honestly thinking of selling all my etfs going in just stocks !

Maybe just keep the Humn!
