"Buy The Dip" is a form of second-guessing the market, like "Buy Low/Sell High."
At bottom, is a superstition that markets revert to their old shape. This is called "rebalancing" and it's basically no use at all, except for the industry that promotes it to manage the expectation of its customers. |

It’s remarkable because the general acceptance is that equities rival bonds/treasuries.
And the accepted norm was/is that as interest rates diminish, equities increase in stock as a rival investment opportunity. But the argument now by brokers etc as bond yields increase as a result of FED increasing interest to tackle inflation is that people arn’t buying bonds because they know securing one today will be fruitless when tomorrow they will be higher…so equities returning dividends are the option. It’s complete BS, self serving BS at that. It has all the hallmarks of people being encouraged to keep buying inflated equities in 1929. |

All these fresh dollars have to go somewhere and a lot of them are trying to mitigate inflation brought about by central bank irresponsibility.
The Fed now talk 'tackle inflation' whilst doing exactly not that - 25 basis points - hardly an urgent move to save the people. They shouldda let the whole thing down in 08/09 imo but deemed the whole lot 'too big to fail' .... maybe it was and maybe it would have but endless QE/stimulus as support has now blown most of this shyte to pure nonsense valuations.. they would rather devalue the dollar further than watch generational stock market wealth implode and that's what we are seeing now. It's proper farked and serves to drive us towards an even bigger crisis. A fiat currency crisis. One more point . at the beginning of the last tightening cycle markets actually rallied near 20% (we just went 10% over a month with 1 hike) before collapsing and forcing the Fed to do a 180 and cut again. They caught themselves in their own trap finally. Was always coming The old fashioned tools worn blunt through abuse are no more and again, imo, they have little room to raise rates aggressviely without bringing risk assets to their knees again. Cue CBDC's |
|
By:
They should raise interest rates as it’s still a very effective method to control inflation….but excess and debt has been deemed for so long to be acceptable, even encouraged with amounts of leverage against future potential (the Nasdaq is complete speculation)
It’s true printing money always creates inflation, but Quantitative Tightening simply burns that money created and given away as the bond matures and the investment is given back and destroyed-that is in effect the natural end, it seems logical to me, but enterprise is heavily reliant on investment that it creates swathes of zombie debt…who knows how many businesses would collapse in the medium term if the economy isn’t strong enough? |
|
By:
But then…that’s life.
Artificially keeping things alive when they should fail is part of the problem. It’s just politics doesn’t like truth much or reality, it wants a fabricated artificial truth until it’s out of office. |

wild bids into the open s+p 4620
careful up here methinks |

By:
Obviously you wouldn't buy the dip if the company is debt laden and not cash liquid perhaps with falling revenues.
Sound principals and understanding still apply. |

Most of the FTSE100 losses since January have been recovered. I am surprised but relieved. I have not bought any new shares but have only sold 0.25% of my portfolio this year.

By:
Tilray 5.30. Stonking value imo, buy add hold two years or more, has to bring debt down.
Hexo .57 slightly different reasons, but the same applies. Has buyout potential, debt free, and you can buy loads of shares cheaply Opendoor Technologies 6.79, has a future, bad timing. |
|
By:
Above was my original post when cider enquired my advice, just updating.
Don't sell, in fact buy. Tilray now 8.32 has been higher this week and could explore come Friday if the bill goes through the house this week. Hexo is .66 was .74 this week and as above Opendoor Technologies is 9.85 So all in all, that ain't too bad, so far. I have other stuff im tracking,will hide my time. |

Well done pd , have they legalised it !
![]() |
|
By:
No lfc, this vote will decrim it if the house passes, that allows for safe banking act etc, then later it faces the senate.
Only a matter of time, far too many jobs at stake and tax revenue will outstrip alcohol. This week the vote, April 6th earnings, then the CEO is keynote speaker at the big cannabis annual convention which will attract the whales. This baby gonna buy me a starter house for my son...he says ha |
|
By:
The senate might be a problem but their does seem to be a momentum to legalise
Think that’s a very big decision for America to make - maybe the country is changing |
|
By:
But then again it has been legalised to a degree in some states
|
|
By:
Yes about 30 odd in some form or other, it will happen.
Part of the problem is a load of old white men will make fortunes on this while a load of black people are locked up for possession. |
|
By:
PD , what's your opinion on where the illegal street supply of marijuana will end up ?
There has been speculation recently that turnover has been heading back this way due to lower prices than legal outlets can supply The cartels/growers etc will surely just keep supply rolling at more competitive prices. Margins are greater, no taxes to pay |
|
By:
Huge demand for legal cannabis,revenues up 20% minimum again this Q1.
Not everyone wants to skin up or wait 2 hours for their mate to come back with some mixed low trade that they have to give him a bit. Much better to get pure quality bud legally in coffee bar or whatever, edibles drinks etc. |

Brokers talk so much 5hit
They cobble up reasons for things happening after they happen, which ain’t much good to anyone And they forget what they said just a few days early, switching excuses on a whim. They just want you gambling Wonder if affordability checks will apply to this insidious lot? On American over inflated prices…the EU seem dead set on trustbusting, not enough has been factored in IMO |

An absolutely shameless sector of scumbags
Everyday no matter what the event, the ‘markets to watch’ are always USD/EUR/GBP crosses They are constantly trying to get people to gamble on Forex. They continually try and get people to gamble on charts, which is just utter madness A set of coinclipping parasites who seem to fly under the radar as far as punching gambling on nothing is concerned No matter what the news of the day, the event will already had been taken advantage of when you hear of it, no matter how fast your feed is All the following speculation is just determined on how much the public has been roused on that very information |

House price growth at 17-year high, says Nationwide
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60938262 . House prices grew at the fastest annual pace for more than 17 years in March despite the cost of living crisis, according to Nationwide. Annual growth in house prices hit 14.3% in February, the mortgage lender said, the strongest pace since November 2004. The cost of a typical UK home reached a new record high of £265,312, rising £33,000 in the past year, it said. Prices are being pushed higher by robust demand, limited supply and a strong jobs market, it added. |
