Say you bought it for $6500 (not the lowest in Nov). That would give you about 2.53 BTC. About $28k. My point it, markets are all about timing. You can pick and choose your dates. Stock market is a risk, albeit a safer one than btc. But I still think you should have a small position in it.

The time to buy was before December last year.

This is false and dangerous advice. study after study after study has shown it's "time, not timing" when it comes to successful investing.

JP Morgan did a recent study of this. if an investor stayed fully invested in the S&P 500 from 1993 to 2013 (5,200 trading days!), they would've had a 9.2% annualized return.

However, if trying to time the market resulted in them missing just the ten best days during that same period, then those annualized returns would collapse to 5.4%. Those 10 days grew their returns by 50%!.

The best 60 days (only 1% of all trading days) accounted for the entire growth of their portfolio.

Do you know when those days are coming? if you did, you'd be on a yacht in southern France. The best financial professionals don't know when those 10 (or 60) days are. You cannot beat the market long-term by timing.

Ok you read that wayyyyy wrong. I’m not saying wait for timing to get in/out of a market. But if you got in at the bottom or in the middle it makes a difference to your returns....

I don't know if this counts as stocks or not but I bought 1/2 of a bitcoin right during the 1st week of January. I had a bunch of old savings bonds and my grandma gave me some Christmas money and some of my own. Anyway holy cow but it's not going well. Should I sell now or wait for it to go up?


I bought it at just over $16,500 and the next day it shot up like a thousand bucks or something and it's been down since then. Right now it's just over $11,000 and the money I put in was like all I had except for my work retirement stuff. My uncle told me that bitcoin is going to $1,000,000 so maybe I should hold. But yeah, safe to say it's NOT going the way I planned lol.

God. I don't post here all that often so I didn't know there was a crypto thread. Obviously i know it isn't stocks but what I meant was I didn't know if it was close enough to post here. And I won't again, I'll post in crypto


And no, i'm most definitely not the full monte. I was one of the ones that called him out for being a moderator at another hawkeye site. They locked the whole thing down after @CyTwins googled him because he was dumb enough to use the same name on both sites.

My comment wasn't directed at you. No worries on that. Just don't want to have the Crypto birthers and Crypto choicers duke it out in this thread too.
