It's 8% which is nearing correction territory, 10% rule, whatever you want to call it. But yeah, you're right, it's no where near a death cross or anything. My larger point is that if you just owned AMZN you'd be happy with Q4 results. If you just owned GOOG you wouldn't be happy with Q4 results. Picking which one is going to be better next quarter, next year or next decade is just a guess. You can see that it was less risky to own both. Theory is it would be even better to own the total market instead of individual stocks.

GOOG continuing to creator after beating estimates on Tuesday. Makes no sense. At least MSFT has rebounded. All this is reinforcing why I'm moving out of individual stocks. Much better to just own the aggregate.

lol

Blow harder

Nazis!!!!!!

Using an alias doesnt hide your level of dumb. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

They tried. Good effort.

Its exageration not to be taken seriously. It's used for dramatic effect. If you say it's not true you're taking it seriously. Read a dictionary dumbasss.

Biden cant afford to loose votes to write ins, plus the unions aren't happy with him.

Wackos on the left are getting write in candidate "ceasefire" trending.

. You cant be serious. Metal helmet strikes again.

KFC. Should have put Popeyes or Breaux Mart

Turn in your mancard if you cant replace a simple pump. IMO

Big Cap US companies. If that's what you call the market. Comes with risk if that's all you're invested in, but, you have plenty of time, you're not retiring anytime soon.

December 2022. Market up about 14% to date since then. Are you sure you're in finance?

There is nothing to brag about. Although you did post it all on the internet for some reason.

Some in 2004, but most in 2015-16 at $25 a share. I realized I wasn't hitting my goal to retire in my early 50s so I took most of my 401k and bought AMZN and GOOG. It was a huge gamble that paid off. They are a much much less percentage of my portfolio right now, but, I still have six figures in each. Thinking about selling more.

I'm trying to convince myself into moving out of single stocks altogether. It's hard when I've done so well. But I want to eliminate risk as I'm about to retire.

Comparatively yes. 1 - You said you "hope" to have 2m 10 years from now when you are 65. You're 55 and not even a millionaire yet. 2 - You live in a 1600sf house with 8 foot ceilings. 3 - The average accountant with a CPA makes 114K in your area. You never got your CPA. That puts you at the median income level at best. All your own words.

Right. "Richest states" is meaningless without COL. Wages are higher because they have to be.

Possibly true. But that would mean he's really not retired, just changed professions. You'd be sick if you knew how much AMZN I sold at the end of the year. I foked up not waiting two more months. But I still have way more than I should. Are you trimming?

No, that's a good goal for you. I'm ragging on you because you keep ragging on Seafoam who by all accounts is way ahead of you.

EPS - Earning per share. AH - After hours HFS - Holy foking chit Looks like it's going to settle in at 170/share. A nice little 6% bump from the reporting. People were taking profits at 165, 170 and 175. Anyone at 175 hit it perfectly.

The math is pretty simple. If he's really retired right now, (10 years before you will be, ~same age) he has to have 2M or more or he will run out of money. From a pure financial perspective that makes him more successful than you. I can keep explaining it to you, but, I can't force you to understand.
