I don't think i have ever seen this before. Every single one of the 40+ stocks i own is in the red.

u/Bartokomous19 3d ago

Those Roku TVs came in clutch this quarter

2

u/SavvyTraveler10 3d ago

Our Roku and fire tv users are still growing like bonkers! I’ve been worried about mobile and social media attention overtaking tv since the pandemic shut downs lifted.

I believe now we’re seeing a burnout trend from social media or toxic media users in general. This kind of leaves cheap tvs and free streaming safe.

u/DarthWeenus 2d ago

those tvs are trash though

u/Kuhnville 3d ago

Walmart just recently started selling them at my store so probably other stores aswell!

u/Advanced_Double_42 2d ago

It's a volatility index, the market has been nothing if not volatile this year.

u/caltheon 3d ago

It's the menthol that makes it green

u/who_am_i_to_say_so 3d ago

SPY is Marlboro Lights of stocks; VIX is the Newports.

Rheinmetal is my only savior

u/toomuchmarcaroni 3d ago

I wish I had invested when Trump got elected — I knew they were European military, I knew Trump would be a threat to NATO, and didn’t make the connection to buy

u/samuelazers 3d ago

plus it sounds badass

u/TeamRedundancyTeam 3d ago

Sounds like a company that develops the first mechs in a scifi world.

u/FairnessDoctrine11 3d ago

That it does. Downright Wagnerian.

u/BeefistPrime 3d ago

sounding badass is like 15% of the value

u/sanderudam 3d ago

That's like Potomacsteel

Did it in November. Listen to your brain when you have facts. Buy EU and Asian stocks while they are down just because everything is down.

u/Initial_Cellist9240 3d ago

I was slow, I’m too damn level headed and always convince myself to “trust the system”

1

u/[deleted] 3d ago

If I may, the system is rigged but if you read between the lines it tells you where we are heading. Cloud and AI will move East as investment in US will dwindle due to uncertainty but also the ability to protect IP and data. Nvidia and AWS, Google, Ms Azure will loose significant market share everywhere as their products and services will be considered risky and provided by suppliers from "enemy" state aka US , think "Tesla"... Therefore invest in Europe esp. Germany, Italy, France and UK which have strong defense manufacturers, Spain for anything naval with Navantia.... and then look at China for consumer goods and white goods and at India for anything software. Singapore and Taiwan for IT hardware.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, if you had bought then it would have been red too. That’s how this all works.

u/Grouchy-Donkey-8609 3d ago

story of my fucking life.

u/browsk 3d ago

I went in on them and rolls Royce probably about mid / early feb, been nice to counteract some of the losses

1

u/toomuchmarcaroni 3d ago

Smart man, rhein spiked hard right after 

1

u/choocjoo 3d ago

The funny thing is that this isn't the actual reason why it's going up.

1

u/toomuchmarcaroni 3d ago

Why is it?

u/CV90_120 3d ago edited 3d ago

They got a deal to manufacture in Ukraine. They're also one of the primary suppliers of 155mm shells. https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2025/02/15/rheinmetall-to-start-ukraine-ammunition-production-in-2026/#:~:text=The%20roots%20of%20this%20project,could%20begin%20without%20further%20delays.

u/choocjoo 3d ago

Your getting warmer

1

u/CV90_120 3d ago

They haven't won the XM30 contract just yet... At least I don't think they have. Although them buying Loc Performance was no small thing.

1

u/Waiwirinao 3d ago

Its like when I passed in Bitcoin when they where giving it away on Reddit, or on Dogecoin lol. Its clearly not my destiny to become rich at speculation

u/Decent-Photograph391 3d ago

SGOV is green for me today.

1

u/Qyoq 3d ago

I put everything I had in interest bearing papers 2 weeks before Trump taking office. Not gonna lie, I am happy about this.

Now waiting for the dollar to go down further too to get some currency lever on my future investments.

u/ModifiedKitten 3d ago

Costco is green for me, everything else is red though. Even my ETFs that have historically stayed green after the Cheato's decisions.

4

u/TeaDrinkerAddict 3d ago

Was gonna comment my GOAT Costco here too, AT&T is blue too for… some reason.

u/LockeyCheese 3d ago

Only thing up for me today is VDC -- Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF

1

u/lotsofsweat 11h ago

Oh why didn't I think of that? Consumer staples usually are resilient in depression times

2

u/DigitalUnderstanding 10h ago

It got spared on Thursday but sunk a little on Friday. But yeah VDC has a beta of 0.60, super low volatility, and similar returns to the S&P500.

u/BeetrootKid 3d ago

u mean, like red as in those stocks have gone down today, right?

as in, you dont mean youre literally down on every holding u own on a cost-basis, right?

1

u/KikiWestcliffe 3d ago

Now is not the time to think about your losses.

Research what you want to buy and at what price.

Let your eyes glaze and unfocus when you log into your accounts.

Make your purchases, log out, turn off the tv, and don’t think about it.

1

u/PixelPerfect__ 3d ago

That's how you know you aren't diversified enough :)

1

u/Repulsive_Round_5401 3d ago

True. "Dont have all your eggs in one basket.", We let one person hold the financial nuke button for the entire world.

If you were max diversified and held every stock, commodity, currency, cypto, and alternative investment in the world, you still lost value this week.

1

u/OddOutlandishness602 3d ago

I don’t own it, but track 10 stocks, and we still got one of them green, Costco!

1

u/manuel2589 3d ago

You should look into diversifiying outside the US

1

u/doughball27 3d ago

I lost $80k today. I wonder when the prosperity Trump promised will bring that back. That’s a lot of tax cuts!

1

u/ipalush89 3d ago

u/HighlyRegardedApe 2d ago

Every 70 of mine, only the one that shall not be named is up, but F it: GME to the moon

1

u/Catscoffeepanipuri 2d ago

this is what happens when yuo allow broke as failed red states to dicate economy. They were broke and failed states for a reason

1

u/Time_Definition_2143 2d ago

You don't own GME?

u/Odd_Bed_9895 2d ago

My SQQQ shares is uppppp

1

u/Caspers_Shadow 2d ago

I was part of the 08/09 debacle. Portfolio dropped 40%, house dropped 40%. Fortunately, I lost my job too and could not afford to drink myself to death. Unemployed for 8 months. Good times. What sucks more for me now is that I am just a couple years from retirement. Recovery time means something now. Stay the course!

1

u/Sassi7997 2d ago

The only stocks I own that aren't in the red (yet) are Thyssenkrupp (+165%) and Nintendo (+38%).
