Speeches and media today doing nothing to help the markets. Just further illustrating how dysfunctional and divided we currently are. Markets dont like this type of talk. They needed reassurance.

QQQ running streaky as fuck this morning. Lots of 4 and 5 straight candles of the same color.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but with the inevitable rapid Fed rate hikes, the market is going to crash at the end of the year or next. It's unavoidable. Doing it under Biden is an easy out for these folks.

Currently, my Roth 401k portfolio managed by Fidelity is heavily invested in Chinese stocks. Would it be wise to trust them to manage my portfolio through a collapse, or should I pull my money out before the tipping point? I know bonds are typically safe during a downturn but I want to avoid taking a major hit.

That was just what I typed earlier. Stuff bought out of the gate for a quick pop, then ran out of buyers and we legged lower. It is trying to recover again here over the SPY 50D and QQQ 100D, but needs to settle out a bit. This whippy action is indicitive of trying to find a new base. Just got to sit and wait.

I'll provide an update later today on what my positions are, but aside from the China side of things, would it be better to pull 401k funds out ahead of a collapse if you knew when it would happen.

Hypothetically speaking.

What? Should someone convert to cash ahead of a crash when they KNOW when it would happen? Why of course Mrs. Cleo, of course.

Oh how times have changed. I remember a year ago people on reddit were writing soft core fan-fic porn involving themselves and Cathy. The love was real.
Its always a lovefest until the returns turn red. And then...

Okay that’s not as bad as you made it sound, but Half of those holdings still make me puke. Those bonds and all cap are terrible for forward thinking investors. The s&p and Russel, fine.

There is obviously nuance but rates climbing means yields go up and bond values decline . So bond portfolio’s will lose value in a rising rate environment.

But if rates are already at all-time-lows when will bonds ever be favorable?

Well a lot of them were in developing markets before, I am glad that changed now. I am not an active investor, so I don't really spend any time managing it, although I do keep an eye on macroeconomic events.

Well bonds are in an unimaginable epic level 40 year bubble that makes stock bubbles look like childs play so my guess is they may be less than favorable for quite a long time. Duration matters though we may have investible short term bonds in just a few years.
