Buy the Dip- What I'm doing in this Market
The market has retracted, true. The President has engaged in some fiscal bullying and the Chinese are pushing back. That's what is supposed to happen as our policies and buying practices from China should tighten as all the big guys already took advantage...what does that mean? For us, more expensive products and no more $5 tshirts from WalMart. But, it may also cause a resurgence of AMerican manufactring! So, thats a positive bounce.
The large institutions BEG for these micro recessions. It allows them to take profits in the fall and rise again of their stocks. And if you don't think the big institutions aren't helping the market move one way or another, YOU're nuts.
SO, buy in the dips. According to Sundial Capital Research, since 1929, the S & P 500 has experienced a 16-fold drop of over 5% over two weeks after hitting a historic high. And by 10 times, the index has rebounded to a new record . Also, w 2020 being a re-election year...don't you think some economic heroism doesn't bode well for Trump!!! Bears stay away from Republican presidents for the most part.
Look to REIT stocks!. With many of them providing quarterly and even MONTHLY dividends to their share holders...it begs the question why a passive investor would bother investing in a syndication, doesn't it?
It doesn't beg that question for me at all. I see too much price volatility & uncertainty in REITs for them to have any appeal. A steep drop in the price can totally wash out years and years of REIT dividends, and the price is entirely out of my control..
The last REIT recommendation I received was for something with a 10-odd percent dividend. I did a little research, and the price had collapsed by over half within recent years. Hard to see much upside in that case.
REIT is still a paper derivative of real estate with no real upside and no tax breaks. That being said not all private placements do well either.
Certainly not a simple answer.
Investor beware.
@Taylor L. But what if you had access to an invention that told you when the REIT would be moving positively. So, control isn't needed.
@Ivan Barratt wouldn’t you see it as an upside for an investor who could read the market to be involved in that market?
@Meghan McCallum I doubt seriously that any such invention exists, as the statistics on stock picking versus indexes are abysmal.
@Taylor L. I’d like to invite you to learn about one.
@Taylor L. I invite you to lose your doubt and I'll invite you to see the system work live tomorrow. Because life isn't about picking winners, it's about RISK and its avoidance. Most people just look at the world ineffectively. If you don't want to put any time into getting to know the invention, pass up the opportunity but your pessimism may tip an optimist away from the greatest gift a strange has to offer them.
