Anyone here still in ANVS?

Dr. Maria rang the closing bell for NYSE Monday. Next set of data or bio markers maybe is due soon (this week it seems).

Up 20% today. I was watching and wanted to buy more shares below 21 which it hovered around recently. Didn’t get a chance so had to buy at pretty much my average today. Fingers crossed.

Tough start to today

I don't know why I just didn't take your word for it... Had to check myself... Now I'm in bad form

Lads my portfolio is actually being fisted atm! Down 50% in SPCE which will likely tank as low as $10... I'll need to double down to even get a whiff of breaking even.

Everything I have is getting rekd, Paypal, Salesforce, TXMD + almost everything else.

I think things will only get worse until crypto begins to slow down and then hopefully things might turn around. Either that or a post-COVID pop (wishful thinking).

Thankfully I'm only young and threw 10K into bonds/saving accounts before I went near the market.

Looks like I'll be a bagholder for the foreseeable...

How do I explain this to my wife?

If you are dollar cost averaging and have a long time frame (i.e. 5/10/15/20) years then days like today needn't bother you. In fact, it is probably a good thing for prices to go down at a stage in your investment "career" where there is still a long runway ahead for stocks to go up (as the market does over time).

If you have now changed your mind about the quality of your investments because the share price has gone down, and for no other reason, you have to ask yourself if you were really investing or just gambling. If you are not confident in picking single stocks you should look at more diversified instruments like Investment Trusts (which is what I do) or ETFs.

But of course it is still sh!t, my tech IT is down 10% over the past week

Wouldn't be too worried about Paypal and Salesforce long term.

Things like SPCE are having a rough time. Not sure the long term for something like that. While things like CCIV are very speculative, space tourism just isn't happening full stop.

Chamath Palihapitiya getting out of SPCE at 30 was definitely a sign of concern to me. Didn't think it would be this bad though.

I disagree, I think any investor paying attention to their portfolio should be concerned when the share price of a company they've invested in drops +50%. There are very few examples where such a drastic drop in 'value' didn't reflect something more fundamental.

when you see red in your account, it's a dip, when your wife sees it, it's a crash.

LONG: Affirm, Draftkings, Invitae, Metromile, Snowflake

SPCE is suffering at the moment as their big sell was the plan of being the "first" to run a successful commercial flight. Now they're struggling to run a successful test flight and Blue Origin looks far more likely to get that first flight now.

Having said that, any bit of positive news from SPCE will bring the SP back up I think. Just a lot of negative news around it currently adding to the SPAC and general market decline.

Nasdaq is only down 6.8% from all time high.

I do love the negativity here, you can often gauge how close we are to the top/bottom by reading this thread. (Another bit to go, but we're getting warmer )

Going to hold out for another little decreace before adding to highest conviction names (msft, nvda etc.)

Yep I have a few hundred shares, looking good for some upward momentum, only thing green in my portfolio!!

Well that's why I had the caveat.

If you thought it was a great investment for x reason, and the only change is that the price has gone down and x reason remains valid, then you should try not to worry and not panic sell.

Yes, I have quite a big position in ANVS, in fact I'd call it massive and ridiculously risky.

If the trial results are positive, which all indications point to them being (watch Maria's latest interview) then this is a billion dollar company. SAVA hit 4.5 bn market cap off a 10% improvement for AD on retrospective results analysis.

All initial data from earlier trials point to Annovis' drug being even better. We also have a passionate, dedicated CEO who's life goal is to "stop nerve cells dying"

Lol agreed, we are nowhere near the blood on the street levels of fear from last March. My portfolio hurting massively at the minute, but I'm absolutely not going to do anything impulsive. Dollar averaging into positions still, but I have learnt the hard way that growth stocks are serious high risk/reward and take your profits along the way and don't become blinker like last Jan that it would all go on indefinitely. I've rode the crypto wave very nicely the last 9months, and it's time for me to start taking profits of that more rather than blindly hodl on forever.


And yep Nasdaq still in a longterm uptrend, well above its 200day ma, only just dipped under its 100day.

the butcher

Yesterday I bought back into UWMC. Dollar averaging into PLTR, QS, SKLZ, DM & TTOO as well.

LawBoy2018

I wish RIGOLO was here right now to advise me about TXMD... I'm getting spooked. It's below $1 in premarket.

retalivity

Didn't realise how low USD was vs EUR as well, which explains some of the drop.
Also an excuse to pile even more money in to my USD stocks...if only I hadn't already bought in only plenty of falling knoves.

Must ask herself for a loan...

If pre-market is anything to go by, we could be a lot closer to the bottom by the end of today

I dont understand what your asking?

Nasdaq will break all time high, when? (Your guess is as good as mine, but the future is tech not brick and mortar retail or oil etc.)

I'm just going to average down anytime there is a ~10% correction

Underground

Death, taxes and a daily 10% movement email from Degiro.

cronos

PSFE Paysafe down nearly 20%, wow didn't see that coming. I dread to see my balance when this opens.

well I assume you thought it will break ath so was wondering why? From I can gather tech will continue to dump. Dont think this year is attractive for tech.

To me this has really reinforced that I need to take some gains when they are on the table. Particularly with some of the more speculative investments. My CCIV is particularly difficult to look at at the moment.

pioneerpro

This has just been a free-fall since March. A stock a day losing 20% (TDD yday, PSFE today) and SPACs bottoming out to NAV. Every time I look at PLTR I think its in the buy-range, and it just keeps on trucking down...

All I can say is thank god for crypto markets.
