Fuck drinking, didnāt realize you didnāt have it broken up evenlyā¦
Iām kind of drunk, but I think itās a 6.47% Dividend Yield.
I canāt do a yearly Stock Price return on it easily since you didnāt break it down evenly. I could do it, but Iām too fucking drunk, lol.

While I would agree that comparatively not that bad when measured against a basket of currencies which were being similarly devalued during that period. But when you compare USD to a more stable currency like the Swiss franc it starts to look a little more grim.
But the USD is actually on track for itās worst year in modern history.
If I had more experience forex trading Iād actually consider shorting the dollar and going long the Swiss franc through CDF futures/options or whatever. I think itās a good trade.

You mean a libzard.
True, the Swiss franc is one of the strongest currencies globally, and yes, the USD has been sliding against it. But thatās kind of the point.
CHF is a safe-haven currency. USD losing ground to it during a softening cycle is expected, not catastrophic.
And sure, USD may be on track for its worst nominal year versus a broad basket, but context matters. The Fed held rates high longer than most central banks, which propped up the USD for two years straight. This pullback is a normal reversion, not a collapse.
If this were a real currency crisis, youād see explosive commodity spikes and capital flight. Thatās not happening.

Weāll just have to agree to disagree. You can think itās real earnings and tech strength driving ATHs, I think itās currency devaluation and inflated p/e ratios. I would honestly prefer if you were right.
Donāt get me wrong, itās far from a crisis. But Iām not exactly buying into the new ATH hype.

Dips are great when you are still buying. Money is not made until you sell. This 6 month stretch worked for me.

Now the game begins again on August 1ā¦ lol
Iām finally done with my DCA now from the condo sale, and just decided to keep four ETFās which average to a 3.57% Dividend Yield. Seems like a good balance of income, growth and stability.
25% - GPIX - Goldmanās S&P Income ETF - 8.50% Dividend Yield
25% - SCHD - Schwab DOW 100 ETF - 3.97% Dividend Yield
25% - VGT - Information Technology ETF - 0.52% Dividend Yield
25% - VOO - Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF - 1.27% Dividend Yield
Just going to DCA these four ETFās and not do anything crazy with trades until I retire. Good luck to you guys and thanks for the guidance and insight over the years. Keep making that money!!!

Thanks to you I learned about VGT. My tech ETF go to has been QQQ for a couple of decades. VGT performs better in the long term so though Iāll keep what I have in QQQ, Iāll be buying VGT instead of adding on to QQQ.
And thanks to this thread Iāll prob start buying TQQQ as well when a good dip happens.

That chart doesnāt look good. Seems like 2000 and 2007 led to problems and now weāre more extended by double that. What could go wrong?
