Coworkers wife worked at Costco & took all her bonuses for 17 years in stock. Then it was performing so well they started using her whole paycheck to buy stock. They just built a $1.3M house and retired off his pension he’s been collecting since 38, a 401k and a shit ton of Costco stock.
Ammo is always a good buy. Pretty easy to move large amounts in my neck of the woods (I saw pallets of .22LR traded a few years ago between members of a local shooting club) and good to have a bunch on hand for when something political happens and the price goes crazy for a few years so you can either profit or just continue to enjoy target shooting.
Yea, if the reason is Russia attacked a NATO country I think I'll wait a bit before doing any 'furious buying'.
Also don't understand why this is posted in FidelityInvestments, weird how people think that broker-specific subreddits are a good place to have general market discussions. Maybe they don't understand there are subs like r/investing/
If I woke up and Russia moved into a NATO country I would bet 50% of all of my assets including my home on Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop. The other 50% would be on oil and natural gas prices skyrocketing.
If I woke up and Russia moved into a NATO country, I would bet all of my assets including my home on Vault-Tec reservations. Gotta pay extra for the 'good' vaults.

The stock that shall not be named. 1+bil in cash, basically not debt. 2023 profitable. CEO takes no compensation. Most supported stock by retail of all time. EZ buy
I know it is not the normal advise but the current market is very high versus historical norms. It might be justified based on all the money pushed into the market by the government over COVID...but I have about 35% in cash waiting for a down turn. Maybe I loose out but at least I earn 5% on that money now.
Most likely just buying VOO and maybe QQQ if I feel a higher fee is worth it.
And then I will out 10% in specific picks that have tanked more than the market .
MRNA.
I worked in RNA in grad school, and have a few connections there from grad school. They have a proven track record of delivering, and a diversified portfolio.
I rebalance per my investment policy statement.
That would have me buying ITOT and IXUS insufficient quantities to be back at my target asset allocations.
I know this is hypothetical, but where would you transfer cash from to do this? And wouldn't the duration of the transfer likely make it hard to buy at rock bottom?
Won’t change anything, will continue to dollar cost average my 401k, HSA, and MBDR money. If Real Estate crashed like 2009 along with it then there would be some hard decisions on Taxable money to the market vs rentals.
If for some reason we saw a massive reduction in a solid index fund (QQQM, for example): well, presuming nothing about the crash has anything to do with the underlying health of the economy, and it’s some bullshit news event , I’d probably buy that.
I’d be nervous about buying an individual stock unless it’s a seriously heavy hitter like Microsoft or google
Ammo! In a SHTF situation ammo is all that matters. Saw it first hand in Somalia, in complete collapse you have loaded weapons, or you have nothing.
This capital gains increase they are discussing will devastate the market. Don't get me started on what a 25% unrealized capital gains tax will do. It is a real possibility in my opinion.
I would be worried about money itself it's not cash it's just digitally displayed everyday it's not sure if the numbers displayed on your smart phone actually correlate to real cash somewhere and who stores physical cash as gold or diamonds not fidelity they be obliterated in a few seconds like every other bank that has digital money
If it were a terrible sell off in one day, that means it will keep selling off. I would wait and buy VOO at support levels as it went down.
EDIT: Yes, I know it's boring.
More ammunition. 🤣 Seriously, it would be the undervalued stocks of individual businesses as long as there remains an expectation the company's assets will retain most if not all their value.
I pretty much consistently DCA no matter what.
If I happen to have some extra cash and there was some big crash of like 10% + in a day or 20% over the course of a few weeks - something like that - I’d probably put the extra cash into 50% IVV, 20% QQQ, 20% IJR, 10% IXUS.
Toilet Paper
Invest in a bidet now instead.
[удалено]
The human body doesn't work without water. If you can't get water you've got bigger concerns than having wasted money on a bidet.
My water source is on the property I live on. Bidet, panel, inverter and it's clean butts forever.
I air dried for the first 5 weeks of covid
I was there for the great toilet paper famine of 2020. Don't joke about this ... stuff.
Lmao I was just thinking of that

Costco.
Initially bought into Costco when I first started my portfolio strictly due to shopping only at Costco for groceries. One of the best decisions made
Green with envy. I just joined the Costco game a month ago. Wish I'd known sooner.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.

I bought in 2019.

Underrated comment.
FXAIX and chill
IYW > all mutual funds

It depends on the catalyst of the crash.
Depending on the scenario I could be buying index funds, or bonds, or gold bars, or guns and ammo

This guy fallouts. Hope you saved up all your bottle caps and rad pills.
FXAIX
Nothing will change. Continue to DCA
No change from what we do now. Just keep buying VOO/VTI. Buy all the way down and buy all the way up.
Texas pacific land
Same thing I buy every month… more FXAIX and more ammo. hehe
for regular brokerage, ira, or both?
The Irish Republican Army is definitely leaning more ammo.
mostly in my traditional IRA. my regular brokerage account is just holding cash in SPAXX until we can use SPAXX as core fund in CMA.
If only ammo compounded like FXAIX 😞
It did if you bought OLN back when there was no 9mm to be found in the land.

Index funds. They outperform managed funds over time. A correction or crash is a good time to load up.

I know this is hypothetical, but where would you transfer cash from to do this? And wouldn't the duration of the transfer likely make it hard to buy at rock bottom?
If you initiate the EFT on Fidelity, the cash is available to trade instantly. Also, some people just keep some money in SPAXX.
I own a bunch of municipal bonds already. They’re GO bonds and thus based on the ability to tax, not on the market.
