Well SPY has been very good to me and I am comfortable with my level of wealth.
Full disclosure, I did give one of my accounts to an advisor to manage. Thinking long term, I want somebody who I trust to assist my kids.

I think that for most investors who want exposure to equities, you don't have to be stock SPECIFIC like I am. That obviously creates a great deal of risk.
ETF's are a great way of being exposed to various sectors.
You can literally develop your own technical trading system using moving averages and apply it to ANY ETF.
There are lots of good technical indicators out there.
But I do prefer to use the KISS method . . . Keep It Simple Stupid.
I suggest starting with the 10, 21, and 40 period moving averages\ that help define the TREND.
On a Daily and Weekly time frame.
At the end of the day, the Trend is Your Friend.
You have to be right about the TREND in order to make money.
If not, you are fighting a losing battle.

Not good.BREAKING: US February PPI inflation rises to 3.4%, above expectations of 2.9%.

Core PPI inflation rises to 3.9%, above expectations of 3.7%.
Core PPI inflation is at its highest since February 2023 and this data does not include the Iran war.
Rate cuts are being priced-out.
I had to look up who Adam Kobeissi is.
He graduated from University of Michigan in 2020 with a BS in business.
Has maybe a total of 5 years of market experience/history under his belt.
But he seems to have quite the following.
Isn't that the sign of the times.

No, the challenge is that batteries would be too heavy. For cars it isn't much of a problem, especially since you can put the battery rack below the car floor, which actually helps improve the handling by lowering the center of gravity. In the near future though as battery performance improves you will have at least some shorter range smaller electric powered passenger planes, but not for bigger planes or longer distances.
Fuel is a very efficient source of energy in terms of its energy to weight ratio.

If you thought inflation was bad under Biden, you ain't seen nothing yet!US CPI Inflation today: 1.55%

Our inflation index dropped further today, from 1.70% to 1.55%, as cooling spread across multiple categories.

Blessed.
Whatever happened to these BOGUS Truflation posts from 3 months ago?
The one's showing 1.55% inflation?
How come Trump fans stopped posting these?
And people feeling "blessed"
Funny!
'Expected'.
That's a pretty sharp correction.
BREAKING: US GDP growth falls from 4.4% to 0.5% in Q4 2025, well below the initially expected +2.8% growth.

US inflation today was 1.68% YoY, according to millions of real-time transaction price data aggregated by Truflation.

Yes, that was the second and FINAL data point.
Q4 = 0.5%
So much for the posters here that were parroting Howard Lutnick and 6% GDP for 2026.
That was in mid-January.
The latest update from the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now for Q1 is 1.3%
This guy is in my feed for following China Chinese manufacturing / trade issues.
But I've been suspicious for some time e that the USA is eventually going to lose its status as premier foreign reserve currency status. Most Americans have NO idea what that even means. Congress and President after president pass spending bills that pay no heed to it. And poof, it can disappear overnight.
Trump's insanity doesn't help confidence in the USA. He talks s*it, starts wars, steals vessels in international waters, disrespects his closest allies, and has nonetheless been on the scene for 10 years, elected twice, unrestrained by the American system. We are approaching $40T in debt. Yikes!
I'm curious what you say about what this guy says. Are you seeing evidence of it, do you read or hear anyone else expressing such concern?

Some petroleum based companies like WD-40 have been able to live off of existing inventory.
When that runs out, INFLATION will explode higher later in the year.

It's pretty clear that this board largely steers clear of ECONOMICS in favor of culture wars.
But people vote with their pocketbook and their pocketbooks are feeling lighter and lighter.
Midterms should be fascinating.
