Everyone’s trying to buy the dip

The article is moot - We’re not at the bottom yet

Retail investors are jumping in while big money managers are cashing out. Sounds great.

broker’s charge to much so they should be banned - instead we call a guy our son know’s who does it all for us and then send’s us the picture’s for a small percent

It’s repeated tweets like this that influence young people to make mistakes. So many “eager” investors don’t understand that the supply chain is changing and globalization is reverting to regionalization. This is the second “Depression” happening before our very eyes. Be smart.

But they make zero dollars from free trading. How is that good

老韭菜已经被割到长不出来了,是时候来一波年轻的韭菜了。

Second wave of bagholders

Time to sell... The stock was good for the 90s... Jesus its crazy how behind the mass is. Just like people are buying real estate like if its the 80s.

How many new investors are risking wealth they can't afford to lose in the market because they can't get a decent return from a savings account?

Does CNBC know anything other than being blindly bullish, except for those moments when there’s absolute terror in the market? It’s just boring and useless for anything meaningful.

Young people collecting 600 bucks extra per week from uncle Sam on Robin hood. That explains the entire market

They’re wiser than you think, permabears just had their chance to get in and they turned more bearish 😂

That only lasted a couple days back in March

🙈

Tech and Healthcare will always be around.. Soon you will see many other stocks drop that belong to companies that no longer serve a purpose.

Exactly what they need to do. Time favors the young. This won’t last forever markets will either go up or crash and burn and at that point all money, silver, and gold will be worthless.

They're about to get obliterated.

These headlines ! WTF

If history has taught me right, stocks have more to fall. Suckers are being drawn in.

Because, the Fed will push as much money as needed to keep the markets going. How can you lose?.. except stay away from airlines

That was a month and a half ago

“and at the time people are like 'oh my God, how can they do that?' Yet, they went and saw the opportunity where many of perhaps our older clients did not necessarily see that opportunity when the stock was trading sub $8,' Kinahan added.” Time to get rid of TDAmeritrade acct.
