The Practical Investor

If i'm being totally honest this is how i've felt about the markets lately. $QQQ $SPY

@njshoreinvest I did the same thing. I am a crypto survivor, 40% dips don't even phase me, the stock market is child's play.

My net worth is down $112,528 in a week. I saw the number, shrugged, and made coffee. I'm mostly in mostly index funds and a few tech names I actually believe in. None of the reasons I own them changed because the line went red for 7 days. I'll just continue to cost average and carry on with life.

@RoaringHammy Even at 3% that's pushing, what, 4k a month? Not ideal on 200k household. 😬

How stretched are you financially? I have friends who have household income of $200k but they carry a $900k mortgage. 😬

@darrelltalksfi Pro tip, increase it slightly every year to keep pace with the contribution limit increase.

Someone who set up a $625/month auto-contribution to an index fund within their Roth IRA at 25 and never changed it will have roughly $1.4 million at 55. That one decision will make them tax-free millionaires.

Say what you want about Robert Kiyosaki, but I read the Cashflow Quadrant when I was about 20 Thankfully the concepts influenced me early Employee Self-Employed Business Owner Investor Real wealth is about ownership. The trap is never getting to the last two in the quadrant

Your market prayers have been heard! RISK ON!! 🚨

@MarioNawfal Wasn't that Friday?

🇺🇸 These charts tell the story of the last few hours Nasdaq down 4.77%, S&P 500 down 2.64% Both had been climbing on one core thesis: Trump controls the outcome, a deal is close, and the war stays contained. Trump told the FT "I call all the shots, Netanyahu has no choice." Markets briefly believed him. S&P futures turned green on that quote alone. Then Netanyahu struck Iranian targets anyway. Iran responded with ballistic missiles at Israel. The deal that was supposedly nearing the finish line is now sitting under active missile exchanges. Trump's words moved markets up. Reality moved them back down. The gap between those 2 things is the entire trade of 2026. Source: Trading View / Writer: Oliver

@MsVeilMoney Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing. Ready for open. 💹

Stock Market is going to open within hours. 📈 Are you excited? ☺️

@OBPinvestments Must be a long term investor

Dreaming of the stock market opening tomorrow:

@DearS_o_n Being judged by people with car payments is not a real problem.

You're a man. Act broke. Delete food delivery apps. Drive a modest car. Live in a cheap apartment. Keep a simple wardrobe. Ignore their judgment. Stack cash. Invest, invest, invest. Set yourself up for life.

@AlanAnnenberg @creativeburne Did you just read the Creature from Jekyll Island or something? It's going to be ok. Promise. Thanks for your input.

@PlanGrowThrive @creativeburne You believe the CPlie? You realize the Fed doesn’t work for the American people? The Fed is a private entity from a consortium of banks. You can’t believe a word the Fed spouts to the American public. Google the Reality Index. You will be shocked.

Kevin O'Leary says you're cooked if you have less than $1.5m in your 60s "I tell people a minimum of $1.5m by the time you're 65 that's the minimum you have to have saved up" "you can actually survive off that for the rest of your life in a very conservative portfolio with 4% interest"

@rektfencer I know what's going to happen: 9am: Trump: "Iran deal this afternoon" 4pm: "S&P new all time high" 6pm: "Iran bombs Israel"

🩸 DUMP BLACK MONDAY WILL HIT TOMORROW STOCK MARKET IS GONNA CRASH HARD BRACE YOURSELF

@Danny_Crypton On the bright side, this would certainly represent a solid buying opportunity.

🚨 WARNING: MONDAY COULD BE THE WORST MOMENT OF 2026!! Make sure to take a look at this before June 8, that’s tomorrow. The $SPCX IPO is coming on June 12. And markets open this Monday, June 8. This is the first real trading week before one of the biggest IPO events in market history. SpaceX is expected to go public at around $1.75 TRILLION to $2 TRILLION valuation. That one number explains everything. Because money does NOT appear from nowhere. If funds want to buy $SPCX, they need cash. And where does that cash come from? They sell what they already own. Stocks will dump. Crypto will dump. High beta tech will dump even harder. This is NOT just an IPO. This is a liquidity drain. Everyone sees the Elon hype. Almost nobody sees the forced selling. There are only a few ways this goes from here, and they are NOT equal. - LIGHT SHOCK: funds sell small positions, stocks get hit first, crypto follows, then markets try to stabilize. - HEAVIER SCENARIO: funds raise cash before June 12, high beta tech dumps, Bitcoin loses support, and retail gets trapped. - WORST CASE: everyone rushes into $SPCX at the same time, liquidity disappears from crowded trades, stocks dump HARD, crypto gets hit first, and people get liquidated. That last one is the REAL danger. Because none of this is happening in a vacuum. Stocks are already crowded. Crypto is already weak. Liquidity is already getting worse. And now one of the most hyped IPOs in history is about to absorb even more money. Now connect the dots. If everyone wants $SPCX, they need dollars. To get dollars, they sell assets. And when everyone sells at the same time, markets do NOT dip slowly. They dump. This is NOT a theory. The $SPCX IPO is June 12. Markets open Monday, June 8. And this is when positioning starts. Markets are NOT pricing the liquidity drain now. But they will. I usually do the opposite of what the masses are doing. Reminder: I’ve called all the market tops and bottoms for the last 15 years, including the Bitcoin bottom at $16,000 and the top at $126,000. The next call will be even more important. When I exit the markets completely, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

@QC_Capitals With $10k I'd be good with concentrated risk vs indexes in things like semis, photonics, quantum, drones, robotics, space, etc.

If you had $10,000 today, where would you invest it?

@QC_Capitals Are you asking if $NOW is a good time? boom 🔥

Is $NOW the best opportunity in the market right now?

@robertoblake But you wrote a whole book. I was helping you out.

@PlanGrowThrive I literally said that…

🔥 HOT TAKE… FREEDOM INCOME… $20K/month is optimal for being single or in a dual income relationship where kids aren’t a factor yet… You can live in an existing city and/or afford to travel full-time or part time with that kind of money… Since 1-3 months of income can fund solo travel… If as a couple you both make that or close to it, then it’s really easy to upgrade that travel if you share the rent/mortgage on a primary residence. For just about anyone under 30 and not married, it’s the sweet spot in terms of income. —- That number is very different if you have family dynamics outside of that. If you have children and/or married or you are like many firstborns and take care of the family… That number has to go up considerably to buy anything resembling real freedom and options. Particularly if you have small children, aging parents, or are a caregiver in any capacity. You can still do quite a lot with that number… But under 30… single (unmarried) making $20K to 30K per month is unlimited freedom… I would say over 30 and with any sort of family, unlimited freedom equivalent is going to run you $30k to $50K a month… 40s I would say $40K to $60K per month… But in your 50s I would argue it comes back down as your children depend on you less, and your elders are unfortunately gone… And ideally at that point you paid off a primary residence. So it likely comes back down to around $10K to $20K a month if you carry no debt.

@AlanAnnenberg @creativeburne Why? Even during covid we didn't hit 8% inflation. I'm comfortable with the figures. I stand by them, people do not NEED 1.6M to retire.

@PlanGrowThrive @creativeburne Factor in 8 % inflation and tell me whether you will be comfortable.

South Korea & Japan didn't get the news about the weekly Iran deal. Someone please forward them the email.

@abugarcias @Barchart Rejection, to re-test.. my man!

@Barchart Presented without comment

Nasdaq with a textbook rejection off the 3-year trendline 🚨🚨 Each of the prior rejections led to an eventual drop all the way down to the 200-day moving average 📉📉

@BullTheoryio I see gravity works internationally as well

BREAKING: Over ¥48,300,000,000,000 ($335 BILLION) wiped out from Japan's stock market as the NIKKEI plunges 4.2%.
