NucksPatsFan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 20 minutes ago, HI5 said: What’s a retirement portfolio? 80% of our money that I'm not allowed to play with We own our house and both have high paying jobs. My in laws and in-law aunt and uncle both have large net worths (5mill+) and their wealth manager said they'd take us on as part of the family. We keep like 5k in chequings as a baseline to ensure when the monthly mortgage and other bills get taken out there's sufficient funds, and the rest all goes to him. We call it our retirement portfolio because we don't foresee any need to withdraw from it in the near future, but we do have access whenever we need to. I've never added cash to my Questrade besides the initial deposit last year and grew that 4x (down to like 3x after this last month) hence why it's my "fun money" trading account. I don't plan on adding any more cash to it. If I have a really strong conviction in a single stock (say Tesla falls to 300 in a big crash) I can just call him up and get him to buy it in our retirement account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Just going to pour my money into this instead (j/k): https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/28/230-million-dollars-spent-on-nba-top-shot.html The NBA’s Top Shot product is a blockchain-based trading card system that has generated over $230 in gross sales, according to its creator Dapper Labs. Dapper Labs is using blockchain technology to create scarcity for digital assets. The system works like trading cards, only with NBA highlights and digital artwork.

She did a much better job than Jay Powell, especially when it comes to communication. Yellin was Obama's pick so of course she had to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've given Cathie enough of a beating for now. Yeah I'm thinking there's going to be a bit of a bounceback rally next week, so I don't feel comfortable holding my shorts over the weekend. Edit: Nasdaq QQQ hit my price target of 300, too bad I was stuck in a meeting when it slipped below 298, but regardless, I'm out - that was a fun slide down to ride Edited March 5, 2021 by KoreanHockeyFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Does the author of this article read this thread? Pretty much everything I said a while back. The ARKK ETF is crumbling. What are the broader risks? Fri 5 Mar 2021 16:41:43 GMT This ETF put a target on its own back You don't need to look much beyond a single ETF to explain much of the pain in the equity market. Cathy Wood's ARKK innovation ETF became a sensation last year. The discretionary, tech-focused ETF has seen major inflows in the past six months and amassed huge stakes in many high-flying tech names. The problem is that it created a virtuous circle initially. As the funds flowed in, the buying flows from Wood pushed up those tech stocks higher. Now it's the opposite. As funds flow out on a one-month return of -31%, she's forced to sell. The selling creates more pain and that creates more outflows. It's culminated in a 10% decline today in the fund on enormous volume. It traded yesterday at 5x the volume of the S&P 500. A problem is that the fund publishes its positions daily and some of them are in small, illiquid securities. That gives shorts a target and helps sellers front-run other moves, like Tesla which is crumbling along with ARKK. What's compounded that is that Wood has been selling mega-cap tech positions to shore-up positions in those less-liquid securities, creating even more concentration risk. That, combined with some serious governance problems in the fund -- including a guy whose only prior experience was a TV station manager as the chief risk officer -- has made this fund a big target. The thing is, I don't see any way there's real systemic risk or economic risk here. Sure, she could really take down some tech stocks but so what? It looks like the rest of the market is finding a way to tune it out. Edited March 5, 2021 by nuckin_futz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the rest of the market is finding a way to tune it out. After what you said I set ARKK at a stop loss of $123 (which it hit in like two days, lol). I used that capital to buy MSFT at $225. ARKK is down to $117.12 and MSFT up to $231.50... so thanks for that one! Not like MSFT is up a ton... but when you factor in the continued decline in ARKK its a decent swing in savings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
