$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ BUY THE DIP! what amuses me the most is market commentators, aka the sheep of Wall Street. Don't get me wrong there are many people that are intelligent and write well reasoned and researched articles. Problem is, you have to dig through a mountain of horse nuggets to find one gold nugget.
There is a huge amount of click bait out there atm saying the market is about to crash. And just as many commentators saying it's the dip buy the dip, you will be a millionaire if you buy now. So who is right and who is wrong? Neither side is the correct answer. For a start, if your portfolio is down 30% over the last four months, as a retail investor you gotta say, I have no cash left to buy the dip.
It's all just short term thinking. Investing is not about today or tomorrow, or next month. It's about 5 to 10 years from now. Sure I wouldn't Be buying $Starbucks(SBUX)$ right now, America can't grow coffee, so 25% tariff well it's going to hurt short term.
I have noted that my growth stocks have suffered the most, but to my mind they are all presently reporting awesome news going forward. Dividend stocks have not gone down at all, in fact the majority are up. And march was a new record dividend month for me, so I just reinvested it all in the dividend stocks.
With the growth stocks I'm just doing DCA $30 a week. I wish I could do more, but I can't. So something is better than nothing.
But since I'm on another tirade about market commentary and the utter nonsense they spread let's go there on two more topics:
First up companies "diluting"'shareholders by issuing new shares. Two companies I own, $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ and $Redwire Corp.(RDW)$ Have very recently issued new shares for m&a. Both have acquired other businesses. So they raised new capital to buy assets which will increase income and cash flows and strengthen their respective balance sheets. How is that dilution? Yes there are more shares out there, but each share is now worth more. Sure if the use the extra money to pay for employee coffee cards, we'll probably that's dilution. But investing in assets that improve their bottom line, that's the opposite, I'd tell you the word, but sadly I can't Spell it.
As investors, we have to think critically and not listen and follow the herd.
Oh I have one more... insider selling, that's bad right? Well Adam spice, the CFO of rocket lab sells Some of his shares every quarter, like clockwork. Why? Oooh he's the CFO, impending doom? No, his main income is stock based compensation. He's got to sell some to pay his bills, Dam it!
Arguably though, insiders in $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ selling, well, maybe not so good.
Anyway that's my daily thoughts, hang in there fellow tigers. Trump mite announce a Dallas tv show moment tomorrow declaring the whole tariff thing was just a dream, and it never happened. or not. Doesnt really matter long term.
As always may your trades be ever in your favour.
