After taking advantage of last winter's down market and some nice rates on Government bonds/bills I'm trying to get an idea of where things are going. Do any of you see opportunity in today's market or is now the time to hold a bit of cash for something you see on the horizon?

I suck at investing long term. I played around with day trading, but it seemed like every time I doubled my money I gave the profits back plus a little bit. Eventually I just gave up because it felt like a really convoluted way to blow up the account.

Play is fun but too stressful for me when it's with Wifey's retirement $s! Plus any money you make with short term trades have tax liabilities so you're fighting Uncle Sam and the market.

Wife has a whole different reaction when I say we blew 4 G on a cruise instead of I blew 4 Grand on Pets.com or Enron

It's always good to assess your investment strategy from time to time. The market is ever-changing, and opportunities can arise even in uncertain times. Some investors prefer to hold some cash for potential opportunities, while others actively invest.
To make informed decisions, you might consider consulting with a prop trading firm routing. They can provide insights into market trends and potential opportunities that align with your financial goals.
Ultimately, it depends on your risk tolerance and investment objectives. So, take your time to evaluate your options and make choices that suit your financial situation.

Hmmm slow housing market, de-flation in some sectors, hints of rate cuts next year, fuel prices down, almost full employment, a recession that seems to have not materialized, nearing all time highs for some stocks

What say you?

Maybe time to transition some of your short term money into bonds, growth stocks into high dividend paying stocks

Last winter's market was a rollercoaster, no doubt. I hear you are on the hunt for opportunities. Here's the scoop – some folks are keeping a chunk of cash on the side, waiting for that perfect moment to jump back in. It's like a poker game. You gotta know when to hold 'em, right? But here's an idea to spice things up: alternative investments. These can be a game-changer for diversifying your portfolio. Think real estate, cryptocurrencies, or even startup ventures. They might offer some juicy potential gains.

It’s great to see discussions about investments and strategies! For anyone working with customer metrics or financial planning, a cltv calculator can be a handy tool. It helps in predicting the long-term value of customers and can offer insights into how different strategies might impact your returns.If you’re interested in a detailed cltv calculator, there are some great resources online that provide these tools for free. For instance, I found a useful one that you can check out here: cltv calculator. It’s pretty straightforward and can give you some valuable data to factor into your investment decisions.

Your post reminded me of how the market can really make you think twice about your next move. Personally, I've been holding a bit of cash lately, waiting to see how things shake out. Sometimes it's better to wait for the right opportunity rather than rush in. Kind of like when I pick up skins at https://skin.land/ I wait for the right deals rather than jumping in too fast. It's all about timing and not feeling pressured to make a move too soon.
