@MahlikBorland 100% Seeing this downturn does suck. Long term I know I’ll be ok. It’s why it’s important to hold even through the downturns

@buildingearly People get too caught up in the short term euphoria and forget that long term results matter more

Down 2.65% on the day while the S&P is only down .25% I'm young, this is not life changing money, and I am willing to take these risks. I have high beta stocks in my portfolio so this movement does not shock me Long term, I believe in these companies and this is only a blip on the way

@MidlClassMoney Nope. Great company on sale

Am I crazy for buying more this morning? Maybe 👀 $SOFI

@antibearthesis I know, cant believe i fell for it

@buildingearly bro that sucks…. damn

if my account wasnt restricted, I'd be buying $HOOD and $SOFI today

@antibearthesis Hell yea tech part of $SOFI was not great

@buildingearly 41% revenue growth we chilling

$HOOD and $SOFI both dumping Giving investors a chance for fantastic companies on sale

@pepeHODL21 Yes!

@buildingearly Another generational buying opportunity

@antibearthesis x.com/buildingearly/…

@buildingearly why is itrestricted

@MahlikBorland haha yes bro

@buildingearly Let’s talk about economic and political state of the world

Im going to start using X to talk about Macroeconomics I'm an econ major in school and absolutely love it. Macroecon is something I am especially passionate about, on top of stocks

@SparkingFIRENC x.com/buildingearly/…

@buildingearly why is it restricted?

@InvestFreedom05 Oh damn

@buildingearly Well I had a call exp 6/18 before that lol

$SOFI WHY BRO WHY!?

@PurdyInvestor @varshikaARK 100%

@varshikaARK Yep. Super bullish longterm. The financial super app is all coming together

The most important chart from $HOOD imo. Gold is the flywheel to unlock value on Robinhood's platform, and the numbers already reflect that.

@LonestarMoney Haha fair enough The deeper issue is the housing market in general is ruined, not so much rates

@buildingearly I’m trying to buy a house

Hopefully we dont see the Fed become a political weapon now If we change our way of measuring inflation... expect your cost of living to go up

@Mauriinvesting1 Probably, but it is all about what risk you are comfortable with. Its better to be able to sleep at night than go past your risk tolerance for some more gains

Do you think someone playing it “safe”actually costs them money long term?

@LonestarMoney Why do you think lower rates is a good idea right now?

@buildingearly Get somebody in there that’s gonna lower rates

@stoicxtrades agree with this $IBKR is still a great platform, but I just cant imagine an 18 year old invesotr opening up their first account and choosing them over a more beginner-friendly UI in $HOOD

$HOOD dipped 7% on the last earnings report. I’ve been reading the posts about it, and here’s my take: $HOOD took a hit because expectations were sky-high. That said, we shouldn’t forget the actual news was still solid. On top of that, I’ve seen claims that $IBKR is getting more retail investors from $HOOD because they added Korean stocks to their platform. I don’t think that’s entirely true. Sure, a few people might be starting small/new $IBKR portfolios, but they’re not going to dump all their positions at other brokers or sell their $HOOD shares just because of that. $HOOD still has the simpler, cleaner, and more beginner-friendly app and that’s exactly what most retail investors want. $IBKR is what you reach for when you need professional tools and deep analytics. These two aren’t nearly the direct competitors some people on X are making them out to be. $HOOD is going to print massive gains in the coming months. My target is $300. Time will tell. Stay true to $HOOD.

@NotA_Bull Both great buys right now

Thinking about buying the dip on $SOFI and $HOOD to lower my average cost. What’s your plan? Are you buying, holding, or waiting for more downside?

@DividendRob @vibezinvestor was it a higher cash back when buying apple products?

@vibezinvestor it was mostly cash back but it’s only really useful when getting apple products

I closed my Apple credit card account Rewards are just not competitive enough

@Couch_Investor in a few years, they wont be reliant on it at all

The less $HOOD relies on crypto, the better. There, I said it.
