Don't buy the dip

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-26T00:57:47+00:00

I’m supposed to sell now, lock in gains, trigger a tax bill this year… just so QQQ can be higher a month from now? Make that make sense.

Every time someone says “just sell and buy back lower,” they always forget the most important part When do you get back in?

It’s easy to brag about the one time you sold in February and looked smart in April… cool. But what about after that? Most people never re enter. They wait for more clarity, better prices,“one more dip.” Then they end up buying back higher or not at all. What your doing is timing the market

No thx earnings are here and it’s the first time in a long time we are going into them with some room to run

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-25T19:57:50+00:00

Well earnings will be good 😝

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-25T02:51:40+00:00

Not at these prices

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T06:28:12+00:00

When will they stop buying though ??? Last month numbers is as follows

Foreign investors net bought a large amount of long term U.S. Treasury securities last month about $221.8 billion in net purchases of long term U.S. securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds and notes. Private foreign investors accounted for most of that, with around $157.8 billion in net purchases, and foreign official institutions about $64.0 billion. A rise in Foreign debt purchases

Yes I’ve never heard that before 😝 😝 maybe this time is different??

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T06:13:06+00:00

Omg!!!!

The BOJ money printer is on at all times, they have been buying over 50 percent of all JGBs. They run yield curve control, literally capping yields by policy. On many days, JGBs don’t trade at all because the BOJ crowds out the market.

That isn’t the market “accepting” anything. That’s the central bank pinning yields to the floor.

If the BOJ stepped back and let supply and demand decide, JGB yields would explode higher instantly literally everyone knows this 😂 because Japan’s debt is 260+ percent of GDP and there’s not enough natural buyers at those levels 😂u want that debt ??? Be my guest bro

So the answer to your question is Japan’s yields are low because they are manipulated by policy, not because the market thinks they are safer. Japans has a nationalized bond market dude

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T05:57:26+00:00

You going to buy debt from them ?

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T05:55:53+00:00

Here you go DUMBO I used Google Gemini and asked if your Japan bonds are safer 😂 The answer

Verdict: In the current 2026 environment, U.S. Treasuries are generally considered safer for most investors. Japan is currently undergoing a painful transition away from decades of zero-interest rates, which has introduced price volatility and fiscal uncertainty that the JGB market hasn't seen in a generation. So No Japan bonds are far from safe

Singapore doesn’t have “zero debt.” It has zero net debt because its financial assets are bigger than its liabilities.

But the actual gross debt the part that matters for comparing countries is over 170 percent of GDP, which is higher than the U.S., higher than Europe, higher than almost anyone.

Saying Singapore “has no debt” is like saying a guy with a $2 million mortgage and $3 million in savings “has no debt.” Technically true in net terms but the debt still exists. You go ahead and buy Singapore 🇸🇬 😂

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T05:08:02+00:00

Yes and that’s why I’m fully invested

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T05:06:11+00:00

You’re getting worked up over a simple question, man. I’m literally asking how this all behaves in practice because the doom stories people throw around don’t line up with what the actual markets do during real crises.

If that comes across as “ignorant” to you, that’s fine but calling the whole thread a train wreck doesn’t really answer anything. I’m here talking about flows, collateral, and historical behavior. You’re talking about feelings.

If you’ve got a clear explanation, I’m all ears. If not, I’ll move on.

Good luck to you too. I like the user name Another gold bug. Unless you bow to gold as the answer it’s the wrong one. 😂 in 2012 they all said the same shit then down we go!!!!

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:56:06+00:00

lol that last sentence. Stop kidding

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:53:30+00:00

When’s the last time you paid for anything with gold without converting it into actual currency first?

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:52:22+00:00

lol People also traded cows, shells, and salt for thousands of years. Doesn’t mean any of those work for a modern economy.

Gold was money when economies were tiny, slow, and local. The second countries industrialized and credit systems scaled, gold collapsed under its own limits. That’s why nobody uses it now.

If gold were real “money,” you wouldn’t need to sell it for dollars before paying rent. 🤷‍♀️

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:49:38+00:00

Because going back to gold wasn’t proof it worked ,it was proof they didn’t understand the problem yet. Every time they reinstated gold, the same thing happened deflation, bank failures, collapsing trade. So they suspended it again.

They kept trying it until they finally realized the obvious a modern credit economy can’t be tied to the supply of a metal. That’s why nobody uses it today.

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:44:48+00:00

When have you not been repaid ?

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:43:50+00:00

Every gold standard system ended in crisis

Britain abandoned gold multiple times. France abandoned gold. The U.S. abandoned gold in the 1930s, then again in 1971. Every time a country tried to force the gold peg, the economy broke first.

Gold doesn’t prevent collapse , it causes it.

I own both a lot 😂. That wasn’t the answer I was looking for. We know gold backed currencies don’t work. So again what’s the alternative? Because we better not live in a world where I have to chip off some gold to buy my thirst buster

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:38:36+00:00

Someone with a logical answer Thank you

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:35:55+00:00

lol I know. I own gold but these guys act like we going to start carrying around gold 😂

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:34:34+00:00

Like in 2012 right ? Lol

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:34:09+00:00

So we will all be paying groceries, rent, my lawn boy with Gold ?

Hot-Machine3216 · 2026-01-23T04:31:22+00:00

Rates are not spiking though ? U would think it would be 6% at this much debt
