Been hearing about S&P500 dropping 10-15% due to - Iran tensions, New Fed Chair, GDP-Equity gap, Mid term elections, Oil price hikes - for many weeks now.
Haven't seen anything substantial yet.
Are we going to get this correction this year? Or is this all a fluke?
I am sorry ..
anyone know this KOL on X? he's literally a scam. The pic speaks it all. If retailers were really short on s&p500 like he said he did, they would've been bankrupt already. Yet, here he go, still scamming people on X.
Not to sound farfetched, although I do admit being quite contrarian, SPX is gearing up for its biggest, most prolonged descent ever.
I've thought much of the same for the last few years. Waves continue to print and highlight probabilities of a delayed-expected-outcome rather than a denied-expected-outcome.
Soon, SPX will begin a decadeS long descent. Likely to fall below 1000.
A supercycle takes 100+ years. This one comes to an end soon.
Would a 20 year retracement be farfetched?
I turned 18 just over a week ago, I'm from the UK and have roughly £7000 savings on a 1.04% aer intrest rate with hsbc wich is horrendous. I Instantly opened a t212 account and put some money in there, I'm looking to get into the world of investing and build long terms wealth with the s&p 500. However nowadays you see alot of the news about upcoming market crash and all that. I understand the "time in the market> timing the market" thing but is this a big thing to be worried about? Should I wait to put a larger amount of money in there or continue with my investing strategy of roughly £100 per week i know this isn't a question that can be answered easily and is probably quite stupid, just looking for some advice from someone that's been in the game for some time, thanks
I have 95% in equity. About 65% in Various S&P 500 ETFs. Remainder 35% in individual stocks of Mag 6 (no Tesla) And other top technology companies. How can balance and what to buy?
Insert Owen Wilson face - “Wow!”
34, single. income is $150-250k/year, depending on commission. 401k (currently at $415k) is maxed out, no longer qualify for roth ira. mega backdoor roth through 401k. about $520k in money market (3.15%) for emergency/eventual down payment on home.
i love the idea of buying a home in cash, or paying as much as i can up front, but i know i'm losing out on time in the market... so i'm thinking i should open a taxable brokerage and invest in s&p 500... i have no idea when or where i'm going to buy a home.
should i move $300k into a brokerage, keep $20k for emergency, and settle for $200k as a 20% (at least) down payment? or should i do less than $300k?
Not all rallies are broad rallies.
The S&P 500 is up +8.2% in 2026, but beneath the surface the divergence has been extreme.
Some of the biggest movers so far:
This has become a market of stock pickers rather than index followers.

I’m 22 and pretty new to investing, so I wanted to get some genuine opinions on my current pie and whether I’m thinking about this the right way long term. I’ll be honest — I didn’t spend years researching this or building some ultra-complex strategy (clearly) I used ChatGPT to help structure the pie, but I’ve quickly realised after going down the Trading212 Reddit rabbit hole that the quality of the answer is only as good as the prompt you give it and there’s obviously a lot more nuance once you start reading what experienced investors think. Before the April tax year ended, I basically put most of my money in so I could use up my ISA allocation while I still had the chance, so now I’m trying to make sure I haven’t rushed into something badly thought out. I’m very aware of everything going on globally at the moment — wars, Iran tensions, AI hype, recession talk, possible bubbles, people saying the US market is overvalued etc. Personally I don’t think the US economy is just going to collapse overnight, but it’s still interesting hearing all the different viewpoints. I also notice a lot of people here are heavily into semiconductors, tech, leveraged ETFs, individual stocks and sector plays, whereas I’ve tried to keep things relatively broad and simple because this is definitely intended to be long-term investing for me. My thinking was basically: keep it diversified enough that I’m not overexposed to one thing, still aim for strong growth, but reduce unnecessary risk where possible. That said, I’m completely open to the idea that my allocations could be improved. If you were 22 again and building a long-term pie today, how would you structure it differently? Would you keep gold? Reduce overlap between S&P 500 and All World? Add emerging markets or small caps? Or just keep it simple and leave it alone for 20+ years? Also, for anyone using Trading212, how easy is it to rebalance or completely change your pie later on without making a mess of things?
hi all new to investing started jan 2026 accumulating account just wondering and i I know will be a simple explanation some how but iam up £500 showing profit what happens to that does it buy more shares can it be cashed out without selling and shares i dont understand 99% of it just no its a long term hold and in reality its going to be left in a trust for my children
i'm confused about knowing when to invest... market is up, market is down... if i'm looking to put $250k into a taxable brokerage, likely going s&p 500, is it a bad decision to do it this week?
or should i do it asap regardless of what the market is?

Just a year ago, I decided to elevate my trading skills to a new level. After a year of slow progress, I realized that if I wanted the account to grow, I had to adopt a new approach.
I used a trend-following strategy, combined with several important technical indicators, mainly the 10-day moving average (blue) and the 30-day moving average (orange). The "Breakout-Pullback" strategy proved to be a decisive factor in my success.
Chart interpretation: The price has broken through the resistance level, which suggests that the price may continue to rise. Following a minor pullback, I entered the market as the price found support at the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). To control risk, the stop-loss point is set below the 30-day exponential moving average.
By closely tracking market trends and entering at the opportune moment, I was able to capitalize on significant upward surges. The best part is that this strategy can be used repeatedly, even on small-cap stocks.
Success in trading is not achieved through a single lucky decision. The key lies in self-discipline, patience, and always strictly adhering to the trading rules. Only in this way can wealth grow steadily over time. Trading is not about getting rich overnight, but about accumulating wealth through precise daily operations and unwavering self-discipline.
I went through countless trials and adjustments to formulate this system, yet the process of refinement is never truly finished. Let us continue our efforts and constantly optimize our trading strategies together.
