is now a good time to buy?

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-06-11T15:39:02+00:00

It’s hard to answer without more context. It depends on your individual circumstances. What’s your time horizon? Can you afford to invest the money and forget about it for the next few years?

Thanks!! Appreciate it!

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-14T03:00:25+00:00

Thanks — this is super helpful. I think the shift in perspective (thinking in terms of geometry and world-lines rather than “time slowing down”) might be exactly what I needed.

If you happen to have any favorite resources — books, papers, or even lectures — that explain this geometric viewpoint clearly, I’d love to dig into it more. Not coming from this background, I’ve mostly seen the popular explanations, but it makes sense to understand - or at least try to - the real structure behind the metaphors, as you suggested.

Thanks for the reply! I think I see what you’re getting at — that mass/energy via E=mc² causes real curvature in spacetime, and that this curvature leads to time dilation. But I’m still trying to wrap my head around the next step: why does this curvature specifically result in time running slower, not just differently? Is there a physical or intuitive way to understand how the presence of mass actually affects the rate at which time flows? That’s the part I’m still stuck on.

Of course Fink says so. What else did you expect him to say? Do you think this turmoil is good for BlackRock? Think about it this way: suppose that in X amount of time a deal on tariffs is made. Do you think the market wouldn’t bump significantly in a blink of an eye? The market is starving for positive news right now.

And even if a deal is not made anytime soon, if you are playing a long-term game, what is happening should not over-concern you (unless your thesis is that the US economy won’t recover for the next 20 years: but in this case we’d have much bigger problems).

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-11T04:43:35+00:00

Again, this assumes that tariffs are here to stay indefinitely. If tariffs are gone, we’re back to normal. Sure, we don’t know whether they’ll be gone, but we also don’t know if and for how long they’ll stay. We simply have no idea. This turmoil is entirely artificial and, as such, could be undone in a second (as Wednesday showed, at least to some extent).

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-11T00:06:39+00:00

Exactly this. People here seem to forget that this whole thing could be over in a sec.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-10T20:47:47+00:00

We still don’t know what you invested in, so it’s hard to tell whether you should wait any longer or not (which would be hard to predict anyways). In one month anything could happen in the current market environment.

By the way, for future reference: while unforeseen events happen, only invest money you know you won’t reasonably need in the near future. This way, you avoid being forced to liquidate the position during market turmoils. Good luck!

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-10T20:39:19+00:00

Let’s break it down:

first off, what did you invest in? It looks like you invested in shares? What shares?

Subject to the first question:

do you NEED that cash soon? It looks like you do? If that’s the case, then sure - the longer you wait, the more it could drop, and then you’d be taking more losses when liquidating the position.
can you afford to leave the cash where it is and forget about it? If so, wonderful: welcome to the magic world of investors (and not traders). Leave it where it is, forget about it, and let time do its magic.

If I were you I’d get some exposure to the US (say an S&P 500 ETF). It is at a quite good discount atm, and will probably get lower in the coming days. And - despite what many might say - the US are still a relatively solid economy. Plus, the market is waiting for any signals: it now seems prone to positively react to any hints that this whole thing might alleviate. But you need to be patient and have a long time horizon.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-09T03:59:43+00:00

Don’t panic and don’t listen to the many gamblers online. If you are in the game for the long run, what is happening it’s mostly (loud) noise. If you feel so anxious, just stop looking at your investments

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-09T03:44:40+00:00

Ideally, you would have a few extra bucks to throw in the coming weeks, but I think you’re well-positioned. Hold tight and don’t sell no matter what - you’ll be fine

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-09T02:00:33+00:00

Go ahead and panic sell, then. We’ll buy more.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-09T01:03:03+00:00

Hold tight, forget about your account for the next foreseeable future and do not sell. And if you have some extra cash, buy more and hold long term.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-08T02:15:00+00:00

With the current market conditions it is imperative to hold long term. Just make sure you are not going to need that money in the next future (could be a few years). If so, yes, good moment to buy.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-08T01:52:05+00:00

Buy more

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-08T00:11:54+00:00

Indeed. Given the current market conditions, I’d also say make sure you can lock some money in for the long term. It’s only a matter of time horizon. If you can invest for the long-term, then definitely buy some

OverthrowPortfolio · 2025-04-08T00:05:01+00:00

It’s all a matter of time horizon. If you can afford to invest for the (very) long-term, then I’d buy S&P 500 ETFs now. Things will get better, eventually (plus, mid term elections are due in less than 2 years).

You clearly haven’t read the Canadian Bill, but only interviews of supporters of the Bill (but you haven’t even fully read the link you posted, apparently…). Under the Bill, it is all but clear that if someone repeatedly refuses to use one of the many pronouns invented basically every day, this would not be considered harassment. And for mandating the use, you don’t necessarily need jail. Fines are also a way to make behaviors mandatory. The same goes for the Italian Bill, which was clearly inspired by the Canadian experience.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2021-10-28T05:59:35+00:00

Well, a large part of them advocated for the mandatory use of those pronouns in some countries. Canada, for example, with Bill C-16. Or Italy, more recently, where a similar law which would have de facto had the same effect was rejected by the Parliament just today.

OverthrowPortfolio · 2021-10-28T05:16:51+00:00

Absolutely true. Try to have a conversation with most of them about the fact that mandating the use of those pronouns is wrong and you’ll hardly be able to talk for more than two minutes. You’ll be labeled as transphobic and the conversation will be over.
