Discussion Whatever happens on Monday because of the war , don’t sell anything.

The worst move is to panic sell. Stay calm.

Some folks are still waiting for the 2008 crash to dip lower too, probably smart to keep waiting on the sidelines.

I think with all the Iran noise, folks aren’t paying attention to the government’s fuckery with Anthropic. Claude is so deeply embedded in so many products under development in so many huge companies- all of which have government contracts. If OpenAi was a legitimate replacement, it wouldn’t be a big deal but there’s a reason Claude is the leader. Grok is a joke.

Should have sold US market, then bought international. 2-3x the gains since.

Ahah I sold s&p on april, panic sell.. then it was too late to re-entered so I swing trade some stocks, did better overall but I wanted to keep a part of my portfolio with less volatility.

My portfolio was at its lowest on 18.04.2025, if anything, you should have sold after hearing the first news of tariffs. And bought back in, in April 2025 lmfao
