Markets gonna crash. What to buy?
Click to expand...

Anything not affected by a war in Europe is a buy, and anything that doesn't have supply chain issues is a buy. I am thinking Google, Airbnb, Disney are good. Nvidia is in firesale range, love them but fear supply chain issues and Intel is coming out with their gpu soon. Also NVIDIA and AMD both rely on Taiwan semiconductor for manufacturing if your worried about China joining the war then might want to stay away, china won't join the war tho and if they do then you should just buy food and guns instead.

Google is having that stock split, I've been burned on several of those. We'll see. Was thinking Facebook/Meta as it will probably recover and got hit really hard.
 
I've regained almost all my pre market losses. I think the market is relieved that it finally happened and everyone else has the same idea and is trying to get ahead of things. Unless this escalates then it won't affect much of anything and people realize that. I think domestic travel stuff is pretty safe with the pandemic becoming endemic just in time for summer, and not much chance of a war going on over here. I like Google for a few reasons, they make a lot of income off of travel advertising to they check the reopening box. They don't sell a lot of hardware so not much issues with being supply line shorted. They are a mega cap tech company who prints cash so I feel they are as safe as any company. The split will also make the stock more available to regular investors, they are so damn expensive at the moment. I've been picking up shares here and there plan to sell mid to late summer. Once the spit and reopening buzz hits it's high. I'm going by the history of apple, Nvidia and Tesla splits. All 3 took off post split. That's my theory also, but I also feel like you can't lose with Airbnb at the moment, plan to sell the same time or next earnings bump, I see them at 200 again sometime this year
 
I hate Facebook, I view investing in them the same as investing in tobacco companies so I won't do it unless I feel it's a sure thing. They are kind of an aging company tho and taken over by boomers, kids don't use them and they are responsible for a lot of our current social ills. I like SNAP and Roblox a lot better. I think the meta transformation was a lame attempt at changing their narrative
 
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is already affecting global markets — here’s what it could mean

A lot has happened in the past 24 hours: Late yesterday, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with airstrikes reported in Ukraine’s capital and dozens of other cities. Western leaders have condemned the attack and vowed to respond decisively.
With all of the conflict’s uncertainty, we’re breaking down what’s happening and how it might affect you as an investor.
Why is the conflict impacting markets?
Stocks have been falling all year as investors worry about the impact of high inflation and upcoming interest rate hikes. This conflict is weighing on what’s already hurting markets:
  • Uncertainty: While some uncertainty is always a given, high geopolitical turmoil can be bad for stock markets. Some investors have been retreating to "safe-haven assets" like US government bonds, gold, and even "defensive stocks,” which tend to be less affected by volatility (think: healthcare and utilities).
  • Inflation: Global sanctions on Russia could cause prices of oil, food, and other commodities to soar even more. Russia supplies more than a third of the EU’s natural gas and is the world’s largest wheat exporter.
  • FYI: The vast majority of Western companies don't have operations in Russia or Ukraine. But large multinationals that do — from oil giants to carmakers — are bracing for further sanctions that could disrupt their supply chains and operations.
How are markets reacting?
As the crisis intensifies, stocks have dropped while investors have moved out of more volatile assets and into “safe haven” investments:
  • Stocks fell globally Thursday morningbut some markets have been more affected than others. Germany’s market is down more than the US’s, since Germany has more economic ties with Russia (Russia supplies a third of Germany’s oil). Russian stocks are also slumping.
  • US Treasury bonds are spiking. As demand for US government debt rises, interest rates on those “safe haven” bonds are dropping. While the US dollar is appreciating, the Russian ruble is losing value.
  • Commodities like oil, gold, and wheat are soaring. Crude oil is at a seven-year high as the world worries about reduced supply from Russia, while gold prices are rising as investors seek more stability.
How could this play out long term?
No one can predict the future, but historically the US market, as represented by the S&P 500 index, has bounced back from these types of conflicts over time. Since 1941, the total fall in the stock market after major geopolitical events was 5% on average — before it eventually recovered after a few months*. Of course, what happened in the past isn’t a guarantee of what could happen in the future.
What could be the takeaway for investors like me?
A couple important things to keep in mind:
  1. Diversification: Spreading a portfolioacross different industries and investment types (think: stocks, bond, cash, real estate) can help hedge risk when certain assets decline. However, it’s important to remember that diversification isn’t guaranteed to prevent loss, especially when markets decline as a whole.
  2. Time: Long-terminvestors have more time to potentially recover from market downturns and global conflicts. While certain individual stocks might not recover, the US stock market has historically been resilient over time.
While we can provide support as an informational markets resource, the markets are just one aspect of a crisis that has significant implications for human life and global stability.
 
I was +6.43% today. The thing is when there's war, the government will ensure that investments are safe. They will probably not raise rates like they planned.

When you post something like this that's a copy/paste, can you include a link? Thanks
 
So I bought into 2 EFTs, RSX and ERUS.

Its very volatile and not for everyone, we'll se what happens if they dissove the ETFs or what not. They've fallen 75% in the last week, and hoping that if this gets resolved, they'll rebound.
 
LOLZ, Robinhood sent me warnings on the risks in investing in these two funds via an email I guess ERUS is run by Blackrock.

Special Risk Considerations of Investing in Russian Issuers. Investments in securities of Russian issuers, including issuers located outside of Russia that generate significant revenues from Russia, involve risks and special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. securities markets. Such heightened risks include, among others, expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, restrictions on and government intervention in international trade, confiscatory or punitive taxation, regional conflict, political instability, including authoritarian and/or military involvement in governmental decision making, armed conflict, the imposition of economic sanctions by other nations, the impact on the economy as a result of civil unrest, and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic and/or socioeconomic unrest. The securities markets of Russia are underdeveloped and are often considered to be less correlated to global economic cycles than those markets located in more developed countries. As a result, securities markets in Russia are subject to greater risks associated with market volatility, lower market capitalization, lower trading volume, inflation, greater price fluctuations, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets, governmental control and heavy regulation of labor and industry. Securities markets in Russia are subject to additional risks relating to the settlement, clearing and registration of securities transactions. Additionally, certain investments in Russia may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value, especially in changing markets. Moreover, trading on securities markets in Russia may be suspended altogether. The government in Russia may restrict or control to varying degrees the ability of foreign investors to invest in securities of issuers located or operating in Russia. These restrictions and/or controls may at times limit or prevent foreign investment in securities of issuers located or operating in Russia. Moreover, governmental approval or special licenses may be required prior to investments by foreign investors and may limit the amount of investments by foreign investors in a particular industry and/or issuer and may limit such foreign investment to a certain class of securities of an issuer that may have less advantageous rights than the classes available for purchase by domiciliaries of Russia and/or impose additional taxes on foreign investors. Less information may be available about companies in which the Fund invests because many companies that are tied economically to Russia are not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices required by U.S. companies. These factors, among others, make investing in issuers located or operating in Russia significantly riskier than investing in issuers located or operating in more developed countries, and any one of them could cause a decline in the value of the Fund’s Shares.

As a result of events involving Russia, the United States and the European Union (“EU”) have in the past, and may in the future, imposed sanctions on certain Russian entities and individuals and certain sectors of Russia’s economy, which may result in, among other things, the devaluation of Russian currency, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, and/or a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities, property or interests. The United States and other nations or international organizations may impose additional economic sanctions or take other actions that may adversely affect Russia-exposed issuers and companies in various sectors of the Russian economy, including, but not limited to, the financials, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense and defense-related materials sectors. These sanctions, any future sanctions or other actions, the threat of further sanctions or other actions or actions by the United States to modify or ease sanctions may negatively affect the value and/or liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio and may impair the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. For example, the Fund may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, the sanctions may require the Fund to freeze its existing investments in Russian companies, prohibiting the Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments. Any retaliatory actions by Russia may further impair the value and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio and potentially disrupt its operations. Uncertainty as to future relations between Russia and the United States or EU countries may also cause a decline in the value of the Fund’s Shares. For these or other reasons, the Fund could seek to suspend redemptions of Creation Units (defined herein), including in the event that an emergency exists in which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of its securities or to determine its net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund could also, among other things, limit or suspend creations of Creation Units. During the period that creations or redemptions are affected, the Fund’s shares could trade at a significant premium or discount to their NAV. In the case of a period during which creations are suspended, the Fund could experience substantial redemptions, which may exacerbate the discount to NAV at which the Fund’s shares trade, cause the Fund to experience increased transaction costs, and cause the Fund to make greater taxable distributions to shareholders of the Fund. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or the Fund could liquidate all or a portion of its assets, which may be at unfavorable prices. The Russian government continues to control a large share of economic activity in the region. The Russian government owns shares in corporations in a range of sectors including banking, energy production and distribution, automotive, transportation and telecommunications. Additionally, because Russia produces and exports large volumes of oil and gas, the Russian economy is particularly sensitive to the price of oil and gas on the world market, and a decline in the price of oil and gas could have a significant negative impact on the Russian economy. Political and economic events in Russia may have significant adverse effects on the Russian ruble and on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.
