I have been waiting for the markets to soften-up a little bit but I am losing my patience.

Late in 2023 my wife and I sold some equities in our RRSPs so we would have some income in low tax brackets.

That gave us some cash.

We get a steady flow of cash dividends.

I sold my Z28. That gave us more cash.

But because the markets are pretty high right now, we want to time the market when it goes down a bit.

So now we have about $80,000 in high interest savings accounts. Just parked there until we feel is a good time to invest it into equities.

But earning 4.55% kinda blows.

I know Senile @Joe always has great advice regarding the markets. Anyone else here have any insight into how long it might be before the markets dip?

So do you think the markets will dip @The Prowler?

If so, by how much?

...and why?

It doesn't matter, it was just a lo-fi blatant cry for attention "humble brag" as it were. Link me to the many investment strategy boards and threads on this forum or hang your head in shame, you ignominiously bald guy.

Fight Me, but remember I have a big dick!

I don't really agree with you @The Prowler.

I don't think there's a liberal/Democrat or conservatieve/Republican stock market.

The stock market and the people who run it just play by their own rules.

You have to be careful about making assumptions like that.

Holy shit Joe, it's like you don't believe the Capital Markets of the USA/(World) Economy don't collapse at the onset of every democrat administration to explode into hitherto unkown heights the moment a trumptardian is elected to the WH. Hoo wee boy!

But they are very manipulated for sure.

I don't think there's a stock market guided by the 'free' market anymore.

It's all controlled and if it drops too far, then they intervene to save it now.

They don't want a repeat of 2008 anymore or too good to be true deals for investors if at all possible.

The Free Market created the Great Depression, at best Trump was on par with Herbert Hoover.

I do not think you really understand the stock market at all, Senile @Joe.

You talk like it is as simple as cryptocurrency. Some value is just made up based on the demand for the stock itself just like the retards put a value on crypto.

But the value of a stock is influenced by and reflects the earnings and potential earnings of the company that actually operates as a business.

Stop and read that, Senile @Joe. Read it again and again until it sinks into that thick retarded head of yours.

"They don't want a repeat of 2008 anymore or too good to be true deals for investors if at all possible."

So tell me, you idiot, how are they going to stop "too good to be true deals for investors"? If a startup does exceedingly well, how will they prevent the stock from skyrocketing?

Do not even try to answer that, you dumb fuck. They cannot and they would not even try. You delusional fucktard.

Man, I made a mistake asking for your opinion. I "had no idea" you were that stupid.

Hahahaha!!!!

Well...@The Prowler...the price of Gold is certainly manipulated. As is oil.

Why do you exclude the possibility that the Stock Market is manipulated?

And the Big Guns have stated that they think it is.



...and Jim Cramer was heavily criticized for it Prowler as if he were divulging 'an Open Secret':

NEW YORK, March 20 (Reuters) - Stock market commentator and CNBC television host Jim Cramer has raised eyebrows after describing illegal activities used by hedge fund managers to manipulate stock prices.​
In a December video interview on TheStreet.com Web site, a financial news company he co-founded, Cramer described how he could push stocks higher or lower, depending on if he was long or short, at his previous job running a hedge fund.​

Contrary to what you might believe, the Stock Market isn't the Holy See & the Traders aren't choirboys either.

You were talking about politicians manipulating the markets, not large investors, you clueless goof.

You cannot even follow your own conversation, Senile @Joe!!!!!

Whatever, whomever.

But whoever does it evident the markets are manipulated @The Prowler.

Everything is, especially when the Big Players are involved.

Anyways, getting back to your OP.

so, it would appear that you have some reticent or jitters about the current market?

And you are shorting the market, Prowler?

Based on your assumption/fear that the markets could take a dive?

No right or wrong answer, just curious.

I figger if 'credible' investors told us to invest in First Republic bank and that it was sound, your advice/assumptions as the average guy couldn't be an worse, Prowler.



...so if anyone had listened to this guy, the could have lost a lotta money, eh?

First Republic was trading at $100 US per share a few months before it crashed and became worthless.

and the investors who took this guy's advice poured the money inta it, say $100,000 woulda lost a lotta money Prowler.

All of it.

Now as I said, not judging yer motives, but it's these so called 'experts' that I'm wary of

I'd rather read what the ordinary guy has ta say than these experts.

No, you idiot.

Large shareholders can manipulate the markets.

Political decisions can affect the markets.

Two different things.

The manipulation, and sometime it is only perceived manipulation, is temporary.

If I see a stock dip in price, I look at recent press releases. I also look at the trading volume. I put everything together and often it is just that a few large sell orders were filled and that drove the price down for (what should be) obvious reasons.

Now can large investors take advantage of reactionary people in those cases? Sure. A little panic selling can create a really good buy opportunity. It is up to us to be smart investors and also take advantage of those opportunities.

No, you hopeless cunt. I expect it to fluctuate as it naturally does and I am wanting it to go down for a bit to place some buy orders.

Actually, you stupid cunt, there is a right answer. The truth is the right answer. A lie would be the wrong answer.

Not everybody is playing in your fantasy world where you make up the "facts" as you go.

You fuck head.

I do not give a flying fuck about the fucked-up banking rules in the USA. I will not be investing in any American banks.

I do invest in Canadian banks, which is much different.

And there it is.

Senile @Joe would like to read what "the ordinary guy has ta say".

So he can regurgitate someone else's thoughts.

Never a thought of your own, eh Senile @Joe?

And I was really counting on you, Senile @Joe.


Really counting on you.

I can’t find an appropriate place to even start with my disappointment in my stocks that I started in 2018. The fuck is going on? I’m down the whole $12 or so.

I am up over $40K in my equities.

That is more than I spent on my trip.

Congratulations Lex @The Prowler !

I don't sideswipe the good fortunes of others as long as it was done legally & within the rules.

I got at least $100,000 USD or 100,000 Euros sitting on the side in cash to invest Prowler.

I'm planning to put together an investment portfolio within the next 6 mos to a year. But I haven't invested anything yet.

Not sure about US equities tho. There's this section 899 of Trump's Big Ugly Bill they call 'The Revenge Tax' for foreigners investing in the US including Canadians.



I was interested in US stocks, but now I'm not sure if that's the way to go. Maybe some European companies are a better bet.

What do you think I should do with that Investment pool, Prowler?

Do you think I can grow it to $1,000,000 in 10 years?

All the YT videos say it's possible!

Oh I'll still be around in 10 years. Likely at least 20 or more @The Prowler

I know this because unlike you, my hairline is the same as it was at age 20. And my hair is dark & full. People often remark that I look 30 years than I really am.

My problem is that I may live way too long Prowler. My beloved Grandparents and Mother lived well into their 90s. So I may outlive all my friends and family. I might be genetically programmed to live to 100 or more.

So even tho I'm retiring soon I intend to start some side business & keep on working. I've decided to treat retirement like some part time job. Stay active & healthy eh.

I've observed that you can be very cantankerous & grumpy Lex. You really oughta find something more meaningful to do with what remains of your empty life.

Try to make yourself & others around you happier so they can stand to be around you, eh.

A friend of mine is 65, still works at McDonald's & she just loves it.

Great community and work environment Prowler.

Given yer grumpy disposition, it would provide with greater meaning & fulfillment in yer life.

This could be you, Prowler:

You know that you are typing that to me, The Prowler, right Senile @Joe?

The guy who planned his life well enough to be semi-retired by the age of 40. Fully retired by 50...

The guy happily married with a wife who retired at 47...

The guy very active in his community who plays pivotal roles in several community associations...

The guy who just yesterday won....
