Bloodbath 🩸

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to remind you—hang in there, ✊ hopefully this crash won’t last much longer. ( “Not long” could mean weeks, months, or years.)

In 10 years, today’s stock prices won’t matter anymore.

There will come a time when dividend investors will tell tech investors, “I told you so,” but there will also come a time when tech investors outperform dividend investors.

Key message -> find the strategy that lets you sleep better at night, and don’t let others make you feel like you’re doing something wrong.

Basically, we’re all investors with one goal—we just take different paths!

Best regards 🌊

What crash?

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

•

Vincent@VincP3

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

••

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

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

••

KevinE@KevinE

@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 😃

•

ThomasHH@ThomasHH

@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.

•

Leonard@Osiriz

@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.

Raketentoni@Raketentoni

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.

•

Ruben Schoff@Sand

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

•

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

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

•

Thorsten@silverbug999

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.

•

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

@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 🌊

Thorsten@silverbug999

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!

Donkey Diktator@DonkeyInvestor

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

•

ehrlichergauner@ehrlichergauner

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

•

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

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

•

Donkey Diktator@DonkeyInvestor

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

••

Olli@Olli68

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

•

ehrlichergauner@ehrlichergauner

Skiing = Alcohol

burnheart@burnheart

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.

•

Manny@Superrichy

@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.

•

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

@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 🌊

Kris@Mit44inRente

This post is just incredibly confusing.

•

Marty0292@Marty0292

Or is it just junk in the warehouse?

•

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

@Marty0292 I'm mainly talking about the technical correction

••

Fl_ow@Fl_ow

@Marty0292 Feel free to take a look at my portfolio and decide for yourself if it's junk.

••

Marty0292@Marty0292

@Fl_ow All of the MAG 7 stocks rose sharply yesterday, except perhaps NVIDIA. And I find it hard to talk about an overall crash after such a spectacular year on the stock market. The NASDAQ is well in the black year-to-date.

••

Code & Capital@Codeandcapital

So far, it might just be a technical correction; in the broader market, we haven't even hit -10% 😬

•

Konsti2201@Konsti2201

A totally healthy technical correction—after a rally like that, it’s time to let off some steam. Buy in now at a low price in increments and cash in over the next few years!

•

Marty0292@Marty0292

Besoffen? 😂

•

Tom_Trader@Tom_Trader

My portfolio is at an all-time high. What do you have in your portfolio? Just tech stocks?

•

Konsti2201@Konsti2201

@Tom_Trader It was obvious that he was talking about the tech sell-off, wasn't it?

•

Tom_Trader@Tom_Trader

No, I haven't looked at his portfolio. But if he's 100% invested in tech, he hasn't quite grasped the concept of portfolio diversification. I hope he's held onto his positions long enough to have ridden out the rally. In that case, yesterday's drop is just a minor correction—not a bloodbath.

••

Metis@Metis

Just because a sector is currently on the decline doesn't necessarily mean it's a "crash"... and you don't specify that in your post either.

•

A Z.@GreedyA

What kind of crash? I've made 20k in the last two weeks.

•

Wow@Wow

A 3 trillion daily loss and a 70% jump in the VIX—that was certainly a remarkable day on the stock market… And not your typical trading day…

•

Basti92@BavarianLion

So, I made a gain of just under 2% yesterday, and my portfolio is very tech-heavy! I don't quite understand the post, but please feel free to explain it to me!

BartS@Weissach

Peace@Pinkafeld

Was there a crash? When?

Global I.@gloinvest

Walter S.@Roots

I just looked out the window... no crash...

You’ve written a lot of things that are generally correct... Your statements remain true in any market situation—e.g., "...Remember: stick it out..."

Unfortunately, in my view, you’re completely misjudging the current situation...

There’s no crash right now...
Things seem to be heading upward for now...—See the U.S. and the new outlook...see also today’s DAX...

Of course, if you only have AI, tech, and stocks in your portfolio, then it might feel like a personal crash...

My advice: a global ETF, and that’s it...

••

asset_sage_smmad@asset_sage_smmad

If you think this is a crash, you haven't seen a crash yet. It's just business as usual on the stock market right now.

••

Andi@AnBor209

Just a troll spouting meaningless drivel…

••

Mav83!@Maverick4831

Yesterday my portfolio was up >2%, today it's down >2% 🤷🏻‍♂️. Where's the crash?

••

❤️DIST-LOVE@DISTLOVE

A bloodbath? What are you talking about?

••

Depot 2034@BuyAndHold1967

I don't see a crash. Just a sector rotation—in short, a sell-off focused on tech. Come on. That's nothing. It's a completely normal correction; I only see a crash in individual stocks, like #Intel. I don't even see a new bear market.

AlenKo88@AlenKo88

The crash is still to come... that was just a normal correction.
