@VincP3 No crash -> natural correction of some tech stocks by 40% to 70% 😜

@Fl_ow I just took a look at your portfolio. I see what you mean.

@VincP3 In the long run, I'm in a good position, but it still hurts, haha

@VincP3 I was just wondering the same thing. My portfolio is at an all-time high and has been performing better and better over the last few days 😃

@VincP3 The problem with many people who want to get rich quickly on the stock market is that they chase after whatever is trending without any real knowledge. Take AI hype and crypto, for example.
Anyone who doesn’t diversify their portfolio will inevitably experience a correction or a crash… sooner or later, at any rate.

Much of this resembles the Tulip Mania of 1637.
Ultimately, it’s greed that creates “bubbles,” yesterday as well as today.

@VincP3 I wonder that too. It's just like on Reddit. When Bitcoin drops 40%, the newbies are all preaching "Diamond Hands" 💎, and the next day the price skyrockets 🚀; but when a solid portfolio is down 4%, everyone's talking about a crash.

••

@VincP3 I'd definitely say that was a crash. Not at the index level, but definitely at the individual-stock level. Especially considering that the Nasdaq 100 lost 16% during that period.

What crash? 2000, 2008, and COVID—those were “crashes.” Now it’s just a correction, and the market is realizing that making money with AI isn’t as easy as people thought. Ring financing just isn’t the real deal.

•

@Raketentoni The entire economic value chain is a cycle.

What crash? My portfolio gained more than a month's salary yesterday.

•

@Sand mainly in the tech sector; your portfolio isn't very tech-oriented

•

@Sand It's obvious where the crash happened. I don't understand why people have to ask such a stupid question about which crash it was.

••

Ruben Schoff@Sand

@Lumimyrsky Have you ever heard of diversification?

••

@Sand Really? Doesn't that still mean we've seen a crash in many stocks?

Well, if you think that's a crash, then you haven't been in the game very long. The years 2000 and 2008 were crashes, but this isn’t one right now. My portfolio yesterday with a new AZH. And I have a mix of value stocks and quite a few tech stocks—but I’m not just invested in tech. One doesn’t rule out the other.

@silverbug999 Hey Thorsten,

You’re actually right—I’m only in my second year of investing.

Still, I think everyone defines a crash differently.

Maybe in 10 years, I’d also see the current situation as just a correction.

But if fundamentally strong companies were to lose more than half their value in a month, I wouldn’t consider that a healthy correction at this point.

If you disagree, I’d love to read your comment.

Best regards 🌊

Hey! Of course, everyone defines it differently. For you, that’s the case because you’re probably invested almost exclusively in semiconductors. Those stocks have risen by several hundred percent in a relatively short time. When they then drop by half, that’s almost “normal.” I couldn’t sleep soundly with a portfolio like that. I’d feel like something was missing. My biggest position is Ferrari, and it’s not even 5%. I lived through those crashes back then. Everything plummeted—not just a few percent. The lesson I learned from that: sensible diversification is absolutely essential for me!

Thanks for your words. I figured it out. Seven beers every night help me sleep peacefully. Maybe this strategy will help someone else, too 😊

•

@DonkeyInvestor Oh, so alcohol is an issue for you again? Who can figure that out… 🤔

•

@DonkeyInvestor For me, it's wine in a Tetra Pak 🤣🤣

Except when I'm skiing. That's when the physical exertion makes me sleepy.

@DonkeyInvestor Skiing without alcohol just doesn't sound right.

•

Skiing = Alcohol

•

@DonkeyInvestor I died. Thank you 🥲

••

@Lumimyrsky 7 beers?

••

@DonkeyInvestor 3 were enough

••

@Lumimyrsky You'll have to stick with it until 7.

••

@DonkeyInvestor Unfortunately, I died too soon. Luckily, I swallowed the Philosopher's Stone just in time—that's the only reason I'm still alive.

Most of the comments here are downright mean—I think we can be a little nicer ;-) It’s pretty clear that he probably wasn’t referring to his bonds and value stocks. Whether you call a 12% drop in the SOX and a 6% drop in the Nasdaq in a single day a decline, a pullback, a slump, or a crash is up for debate. It’s just not an everyday occurrence and even makes it into regular news outlets. Whether he has a small satellite position, invests heavily in AI-driven stocks, or just has a -3% return in the MSCI World Index, it’s still unpleasant.

@burnheart Those are some honest words for a change—losing 5–8% hurts everyone a little. When some people are down, others just kick them while they're down, but let's wait and see and have some tea, beer, etc.

•

1Sem.

@Superrichy To be honest, of course it hurts, but this post was also for me—as confirmation of just how 💩 the community on Getquin unfortunately is.

With the exception of a few people, I don’t think the community is very good—no one was attacked in this post, and yet I still got comments like that.

Thanks to at least a few people for writing reasonable comments.

Best regards 🌊
