New York (CNN Business)The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged Wednesday and committed to maintaining its unprecedented stimulus plan until the economy "has weathered recent events."

That means it could be years until interest rates rise again. The Fed's "dot plot", which reflects the forecasts of the central bank's policy makers, isn't showing any rate hikes this year or in 2021. Even in 2022, the majority of policymakers believe rates will remain at the current rate levels.

What a dumpster fire today!! 

 

It's time to start looking at what's happening in the world and how it can affect the stock market.

 

Covid cases are increasing at a steady rate, so what did well during the beginning days of COVID ? This is my mind set over the next month when investing.

Yeah i heard. Good thing i cashed out and didnt go back in. HTZ is just dropping like a bag of bricks

They get a stay of execution pending their appeal of the delisting notice. The moment they lose the appeal it'll be delisted and vanish only to re-appear on the OTC exchange. Then it's a huge clusterF as all these RobinHood accounts who are long to the teeth with that crap have no access to the OTC market.  It's gonna suck to be them.

I don't know if it's time to pay attention to what's going on in the world in relation to the market. We have a viral pandemic going on, are in the midst of a global recession if not depression, protests and sporadic rioting have gripped the USA, the imminent take over of Hong Kong by Communist forces. And none of it matters because Central Banks have decided to flood markets with liquidity. They're not going to stop. There could be dinosaurs with guns roaming around shooting people and this market wouldn't care. So what can happen to make the market care? This market is addicted to stimulus and as long as Powell is dovish it's all good.

 

The "stay at home" stocks did well. Stuff like Netflix, Peloton, Zoom, Dominos Pizza, Amazon, Facebook, Shopify. Don't think that's going to work as well in a 2nd Covid phase. Though Gold and Silver initially got caught up in all the selling as when the crap hits the fan you just sell everything to raise cash. They rebounded very well, as they should.

RH investors are weird. They will en masse short good stocks and be bullish in garbage ones, doesn't make sense.

It's whatever TikTok and Stocktwits tell them.

 

They become aware of a stock after it's spiked, and then buy the spike lol

Yeah they have a peculiar habit of piling into garbage. Sometimes even bankrupt garbage.

 

Here's the thing though. RobinHood does not allow short selling. So everyone trading stocks there is long only. If you want to short there you'd have to use inverse ETF's or trade options.

Diversification is the key word, sure it’s fun to own these stocks that go up like a rocket ship.

But on the days that they sink like a stone, it hurts.

100%... Check out CRIS today... FDA gave them the go ahead to go onto the next phase of a breast cancel pill and had a beautiful jump. Then bulls beat the hell out of it for 4 straight hours till it was finally dead.

Balanced portfolio helps even out the performance for those that can’t stomach huge swings.

Market was crappy today but my few of my holdings were up offsetting the ones that were down.

Now they have 1 quarter of cash left and will have to offer soon.
