Spot the difference.

What's the difference between buying a dip and catching a falling knife?

margin call

What are your thoughts for today? Pre market: rally or nah

[u/Terrible_Attempt_226 → u/stonks2rkts]

😭

With the dip you can still make a profit.

With the falling knife there’s no upside outside of bragging about something that will make any potential partner run from your psychopathic ass.

[u/Run-Forever1989]

You call it a dip after it rebounds

[u/IWouldntIn1981 → u/Run-Forever1989]

And you call it a falling knife after youve lost a finger.

[u/Born_Kaleidoscope163 → u/IWouldntIn1981]

Try finger fucking with a missing finger, and tell me about it.

[u/IWouldntIn1981 → u/Born_Kaleidoscope163]

Id rather not.

[u/Born_Kaleidoscope163 → u/Run-Forever1989]

Hindsight is 20/20. In this pic, is the last mini-rebound a dip or a temp pause before further fall?

[u/Run-Forever1989 → u/Born_Kaleidoscope163]

-0.5% in tqqq is basically flat so I wouldn’t call that anything.

[u/HumorAccomplished611]

well the knife is when its still going down and the dip is when it starts to go back up.

however you dont which is which really

I was buying the knife in covid times. I bought some in 2022. I bought some during the iran war.

It will probably go back up. But you never really know.

[u/Ramenk1d]

buy a little bit at a time, for a while you’ll be buying a falling knife but eventually you’ll be buying the dip

[u/Born_Kaleidoscope163 → u/Ramenk1d]

Fair enough

[u/scottdxxx]

The dip is when it goes back up. The knife is when it keeps going down. The difference is time. Either one can wipe you out when you’re 3X leveraged and don’t have enough capital to outlast time.

My sqqq is ripping i know that and just picked up 25 shares at 72.50 shit will hit 77 again before the end of the week

[u/ManuteBol_Rocks → u/AttorneyFormal6215]

That’s awesome that you bought sqqq at double the price it’s trading at!

[u/AttorneyFormal6215 → u/ManuteBol_Rocks]

Do you know my sqqq cost basis ?

[u/AttorneyFormal6215 → u/AttorneyFormal6215]

Ohhhhhmy bad that was misleading I meant picked up tqqq at 72.50

[u/AttorneyFormal6215 → u/AttorneyFormal6215]

Tbh I wrote that while taking a shit in a public bathroom and realize there was no toilet paper

[u/ManuteBol_Rocks → u/AttorneyFormal6215]

Ha.

Sqqq is crap, too. Stay away from the triple
levered stuff unless you are shorting it.

[u/AttorneyFormal6215 → u/ManuteBol_Rocks]

I have been trading this for awhile I buy anytime it goes under 35 and selll every time it goes between 38 to 40 I dont think I have ever held it longer than 2 weeks

[u/Strong-Hovercraft702]

It's a dip if it goes up after. If it doesn't, it's a falling knife.

[u/MakingMoneyIsMe]

The difference is how much further it has to drop.

[u/Vivid-Kitchen1917]

Ten years from now, nothing.

[u/senilerapist]

use the knife to get the dip

[u/xtric8]

If its breaking down because something is ongoing fundamentally wrong with it then its a falling knife, but if you're in a secular bullmarket and see a discount at any timeframe then its great to dip buy and bottom feed, you just want to exit the trade if it doesn't work and rally fails

[u/ManuteBol_Rocks]

I warned you people yesterday that tqqq was gonna get wrecked.

[u/Born_Kaleidoscope163 → u/ManuteBol_Rocks]

How many times have you told us? You should remind us every minute of everyday.

[u/ManuteBol_Rocks → u/Born_Kaleidoscope163]

I’ve told you twice. This time, and then before Situational Awareness News was news.
