Some good thoughts/posts in regard to "thinking" about an investor's plan. The risk tolerance varies greatly among investor's. We all gotta have an idea where we fall in that category and where our balance is. It is important to know. Sometimes it takes some time to find that balance. Of course, this may change a bit one way or another over time depending on many personal variables and life events. The market has a way about reminding us to consider that in our own plans.
As to the current market. Uncertainty reigns at the moment. This could happen, that could happen, look over here, no over there....wait a week, maybe next month, no that was yesterday....we will see tomorrow. I will say the financial media has a full smorgasboard to choose from. The variety of topics is basically endless and anything goes at the moment.
Oddly enough, we mentioned some international investing back sometime ago. Looks like some of that is having a nice start to the year. Some of the funds I would be familiar with are up +9-11%. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out at the end of the year.
Regarding my couple of posts on the prior page.....and....the post above by Smokie. RISK TOLERANCE.....has a way of changing very quickly when you see your 30 year money becoming 8-10 year money....in just a few years......especially when you are retired and dont have time to wait it out...or....you dont have income to replenish.
HERE is a good article on the NVDA chip announcements today. Nvidia announces Blackwell Ultra and Rubin AI chips https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/18/nvidia-announces-blackwell-ultra-and-vera-rubin-ai-chips-.html "Key Points Nvidia announced new chips for building and deploying artificial intelligence models at its annual GTC conference on Tuesday. CEO Jensen Huang revealed Blackwell Ultra, a family of chips shipping later this year, and Vera Rubin, the company’s next-generation GPUs that are expected to ship in 2026. The announcements are a test of Nvidia’s new annual release cadence. Before the AI boom, Nvidia released new chip architectures every other year." MY COMMENT Good to see some new products for the media to fear-monger.
Yes they are......it is called a CORRECTION......for those that have never seen such a thing. The 'Magnificent 7' stocks are having their worst quarter in more than 2 years https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-...t-quarter-in-more-than-2-years-190335944.html
