The 7% Conundrum: When to Hold Tight or Cut and Run

In the topsy-turvy world of investing, where fortunes rise and fall faster than a soufflé in a wind tunnel, there exists a steadfast rule that refuses to go quietly: the 7% rule. Over the years, I’ve seen this rule save portfolios from disaster and, ironically, cost investors some of their greatest gains. So, should you swear by it or bend the rules? Let’s dissect this simple yet controversial strategy that can define your success in the stock market. Walking the Tightrope: Risk, Reward, and the 7% Safety Net The Safety Net or the Straitjacket? The 7% rule dictates that if a stock falls 7% below your purchase price, you should sell without hesitation.

Why now is a good time to invest in long-term bonds despite the Fed’s hawkish stance?

Hello, Tigers~On the evening of the 25th, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman delivered a speech on monetary policy. Bowman stated that there would be no rate cuts in 2024 and that the Fed might delay rate cuts until 2025: “We are not yet at a point where it is appropriate to lower the policy rate. Given the risks and uncertainties in my economic outlook, I will remain cautious when considering future changes to the policy stance.”The Fed’s latest dot plot from June shows that 4 members do not expect any rate cuts this year, 7 members expect one rate cut, and 8 members expect two rate cuts. No one expects three or more rate cuts this year, which is significantly more hawkish compared to the previous dot plot. In March, 10 members anticipated three or more rate cuts!Given the lowering

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ share price is heading for a pullback after continuously risen with an impressive increase of 44.19%. TSLA share price decline would signal a broader market decline in other sectors. The next market opportunities are likely to stem from upcoming economic data releases! Notably, the inflation report due on Thursday, July 11, is a crucial data point that could disrupt present market trend. Traders have increase bullish bets on bonds ahead of the Fed Chair’s testimony to Congress and the consumer price index release this week. If Powell's speech or Thursday’s inflation data bolsters expectations for a rate cut this year, these bets will benefit.

#rookiemistakes Do fellow rookies learn from my mistake now. When crunching your take profit sales and buy backs over estimate your fees by about %0.05 or like me you'll set your margins too small and loose $0.01 rather than gaining your projected small penny profits. Good luck out there

I'm going long on $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$, banking on a potential rate cut from the Fed to spark a rally reminiscent of Nvidia's legendary surge. When the Fed pivots, TLT could skyrocket, and I'm positioning for a piece of the action
