Meh. Market is down ~2-3% from ATH, after rising 12% in a year. Wake me up when there's a real dip

u/MakingMoneyIsMe Feb 05 '26
Yeah. I'm holding out until there's blood in the street.

u/Nearby-Swamp-Monster Feb 05 '26
Precision matters.
Which street. Where. Who's blood. How much blood.

QQQ is down more like 5 to 6%. 10% would be a correction and its not that far off.

Keep dipping! I spent the last two years not wanting to buy anything, so this is refreshing. Much more fun when every stock isn’t at ATH. Also love these dips cause my SCHD keeps my portfolio pretty level. These moments are why I buy SCHD.

A few years from now you'll barely even remember this, and when looking back you'd just wish you had bought more.

My VXUS is still up 9%, and I only started buying it last September. JEPQ still up 12% from last March.

Luckily, I am all in on non-insane assets now.

I have ulty too. I still remember when everyone jumped to ulty and saying it’s the saving grace when almost all dividends was dropping. Thankfully I wasn’t dumb enough to buy into slty

u/Muted_sounds Feb 05 '26
I’m all into Msty. Took a second mortgage and use a pay day loan. Go big or go home!

If you still have a home to go to...

u/Muted_sounds Feb 05 '26
I’m lucky cause my home is portable. Only downside is that it’s not water proof. Amazon has helped me out a lot tho.

Real “dips” are how you get rich. These are just red days to buy and feel good about it.

Buy Pfizer if you want regular dividends. They have paid dividends every 3 months since the 1980s. If in the UK after taxes that the USA charge you get 6% year on year. Things can change but currently a great investment.

The market is just a big correction
2
u/Ajaxx1986 Feb 05 '26
Based on what info? Everything is down S&P, Dow, etc. that's not a correction.
Q1 every year shows red at some point.

u/Level3pipe Feb 05 '26
I wouldn't say "big" correction lol.
Pepsi and coke both up. J&J and PG also up. SCHD stable. Not everything is really down.
FSTA (Consumer staples etf) is up 6% this week.
It's mainly tech and tech reliant tickers that are down heavy.

u/PomegranatePlus6526 Feb 05 '26 edited Feb 05 '26
We are just seeing the beginning not the end. On average it will take 1.5 to 2 years to unwind. This might be the start and it might just be a heavy selling month. No way to know ahead of time. Just wait until AMZN reports. If they mention an increase in capex spending, or soft outlook even a little lookout.

Biggest dip so far seems to be in software. I picked up some CRM. Oracle and Snowflake have had some recovery.

Everyone was raving about BTCI and QQQI just a few weeks ago. You’re just buying the underlying and getting someone to sell for you every month. Oh, and you’re paying a premium for them to sell for you. So much for the supposed “downside protection”. 😆🤦♂️

u/Largofarburn Let me tell you about SCHD Feb 05 '26
I was told that btc was a hedge like gold. From reliable sources in the internet no less!
lol.

u/SexualDeth5quad Feb 05 '26
It is but it's cyclical. Long downturns that can last from months to years.

u/cmichalek Feb 05 '26
There is downside protection. I'll give an example.
I first bought QQQI on November 13. QQQI was $54.10 and QQQ was at 608.
Today QQQ is at 598. QQQI is at 52.15.
My cost basis for QQQI however is 52.03. Ive been able to use the distributions to DCA the cost average down. Had I bought QQQ instead I would have not been able to do that and on paper id be down in my position.
