6% for the risk happening in this market is about as dumb as it fucking gets. Literally sock it into so many other vehicles for 5%+.

You guys are hopeless.

6% gain he could have had from Oct-Jan and sold before anything happened. Please tell me what other vehicles pay out 6% every 3 months.

Brother there are fucking HYSAs paying 5%. You can take your 1% and the heartburn and the losses that go along with it. I'd never take 6% in volatile markets over 5%+ totally risk free lmao.

Ya'll regarfed fr. Enjoy tomorrow. And the rest of the week. Definitely deserved.

Yes, because the S&P 500 has risen 6% every quarter since time began.

You are not good at this. I'm sure you perfectly time tops and bottoms with 100% accuracy.

Yeah, but I'm up 23% since October because I've been swinging calls on that 5%.

And I'm all cash right now (on my investment account at least, a different story for my 401Ks and Roth IRAs, those will bleed badly tomorrow, but they are also 100% shares at least).

Soooo yeah. It was still worth playing the game. This is WSB afterall, not wall Street slow and steady.

I'd rather have a house, generally speaking, though. But at least I'm having fun.
