Wow you sure are BTFO on a 3% loss.

>> No.10952964

Did you even invest in stocks that pay dividends? Post your tickers so we can laugh anon. 3 points isnt that bad for daily movement depending on how many positions you have.

just wait until you are looking into a stock, decide to buy but the market is closed for the day. then, in after-hours trading, it moons 15% on positive earnings call. the next day, when the market opens, you can buy it. then, it proceeds to dump 10% on you after the market opens. and they say crypto is manipulated.
the absolute state of fucking lying mother fuckers.

3% loss is pretty high for the boomer market

You would only lose 3% if you panic sold your stocks every time they drop. Most people invest for long terms.

Boomer here. I have hundreds of thousands invested in the stock market and I don't even check how much it goes up or down on a given day. It's pretty irrelevant to me. No point in sweating those details when it's a 15+ year investment.

Companies lost 80 to 95% of their value during the recession. Amazon has doubled in value in less than a year. Better performance than any crypto this year. You don't know shit.

If you're new, I would heavily recommend starting with index funds. Use one of those stock simulators to git gud at stock picking before actually using your own money.

>>10952964
It's perfectly fine to invest in non-dividend paying stocks, anon.

Yeah their attention spans are bastions of human wonder. They actually even hold these stocks for...gasp...years.

It’s crazy and I don’t recommend it to anyone of your ilk/age.

>> No.10954628

why doesn't everyone just stop investing money in the stock market when it's going down
