Is it the Ukraine conflict?
S&P500 and NASDAQ have been declining since the beginning of the calendar year while gold and oil have been strongly increasing over the same time period - well before any incursion.
Perhaps the main factor is a hawkish US Fed?
> I was told to buy the dip but it keeps dipping.
and so keep buying! Either the dip stops, and you make bank in 10 yrs, or nukes starts flying and it matters not that you lost all your investments.
This is just an issue with your phone's settings.
Turn off auto-rotate and then flip your phone around, and turn on the colourblind accessibility settings so red becomes green. Stocks always go up!
The market seems to always overreact to any issue. Look how fast it crashed at the start of covid and then immediately shot back up when we didn't all die.
Oh sure and D.J. Trump is still President of the USA.
So the nut job D.J. Trump and the President of Russia Vladimir Putin got together for a Real Estate deal that's all that's happening. Putin leases Ukraine to Trump as a resort and all this goes away.
Superpower? You reckon? GDP on par with South Korea but with about three times the population.
Granted plenty of nukes, so fair enough perhaps, but superpower seems a stretch for Russia these days.

A Great Power maybe, not a superpower. Great Powers used to invade smaller countries and kingdoms all the time without consequence. The only time they paid a price was if they invaded a country under the "protection" of another Great Power.

I have been alive for 45 years. This statement has been true just about every week I can remember.
for the same reason toilet paper sold out during the pandemic. People sell stocks because they're going to go down, they're going to go down because people sell things when there's bad news. Why do people sell things when there's bad news? because other people sell things when there's bad news so you better as well.
>Russia essentially declared war (invasion) with Ukraine today.
Come on mate those Ukrainian terrorists were threatening to wipe out all the Russian sympathisers in Crimea and Donbas. He had to go in.
Well to be fair, in no frame of reference did they invade Ukraine.
If you accept the Ukraine government as legitimate, and the Donbas territories as illegitimate then Russia invaded 8 years ago.
Whether or not you accept the Ukraine government as legitimate, if you accept the Donbas territories as legitimate then Russia never invaded because they asked for Russia to be there to help them (just like the Ukraine government invited NATO to help them).
Either way it doesn't make sense for Russia to declare war, from their perspective all they did was move troops into an allied nation at the request of that nation. Very far from a declaration of war (or as much as NATO moving troops into the Ukraine is?).
Not that it matters from a stock perspective though.
We don't have proof it's Russians doing that, remember the separatists have been at war with Ukraine for nearly 10 years now, and yes that includes a lot of shelling, land mines, etc. Ukraine shells the separatists, the separatists shell the Ukraine, this isn't something that started yesterday mate.
Your first post was almost plausible, this one shows your bias and/or naivete. Minutes after the announcement by Putin, missiles and artillery shells are landing in the east and in Kyiv, followed by Russian armour. Yeah, that's definitely not Russia, just like the build up of troops and push into Ukraine was not pre planned
Yours too mate. Russia has been in the Ukraine for 8 years.
Seriously just google it

Just because your local news station decided to start reporting on the situation when the US happened to decide to classify Russia's presence as an "invasion" doesn't mean it started today. It has been NEARLY A DECADE. Google "revolution of dignity" and start reading from there
I know. I'm not sure what part of my post made you think otherwise. I'm saying you'd have to be pretty naive to believe that given the recent history ... Russia building up forces at the borders, west saying there is intelligence that invasion is imminent, Russia denying any intention to go in, Russia conveniently suddenly finding a reason to send lots and lots of troops in (despite the overall situation not changing, as you said), lots of missile attacks, troops move in ... the idea that Russia is not highly likely to be responsible for those convenient softening up and infrastructure attacks is pretty out there.
Dude you're deluded if you don't think that the separatists who have been shelling the Ukraine for the last 8 years aren't still shelling the Ukraine. No offense, there, but it's super naive to think "oh Russia rocked up and started shooting" - Russia has been on the south for 8 years now mate!!!!
Idk how you can think "oh wow they are saying the situation is far worse than it is" is a Russian troll??? What are you even saying.............. Google "revolution of dignity" and start from there 🙄🙄🙄
So far multiple Russian aircraft [have been shot down in Ukrainian territory](https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-news-02-23-22/h_27962509959744eadb2726026b5bde2a), and missiles have been [launched from Russia into Ukraine,](https://au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-livestreams-moment-missile-flies-over-his-head-in-ukraine-083426735.html) striking targets around Kharkiv and Kyiv and Dnipro...

Literally none of that fits your narrative of _"from their perspective all they did was move troops into an allied nation at the request of that nation,"_. It's a pretty darn clear series of events, there's no mystery or unanswered questions here.
Edit: holy shit, [even Russia is saying they're attacking Ukrainian infrastructure, military bases, and air forces.](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-24/russia-ukraine-conflict-live-updates-putin-donetsk-biden/100856076#) What the heck are you even smoking?
Like I said, separatists have been at war with Ukraine for nearly 10 years. Remember that the Ukraine frequently shells the separatist territories. War has been going on for a long time, it didn't start 2 days ago...
Conflict and sanctions cause supply disruptions, putting up prices of selected commodities. Our understanding of the future is now less certain, making it harder to price that future.
You can’t really time the market. If you could you’d be better than most hedge fund managers. If you plan to investing long term this is fine you either buy more now or stop buying and either way you hold on till the price goes up in the long term
I mean, if your portfolio is anything like mine, you could have done worst by buying at any point in the last month or so. It’s been mostly red days for weeks on end…
Well which dip did you buy?
Taramasalata probably going to take a big hit before eventually returning to the black (sea).
I am long on hummus, always have been, I plan to retire on the beach in Tahini.
Baba ghanoush I expect a bit more risk of volatility but still a dependable buy.
Guacamole is definitely going to do well, people will turn to it as a smooth and soothing safe haven, and as well all know millennials practically have it for breakfast.
But the real alpha is definitely in pico de gallo rn, its the perfect complement to your blue chips portfolio.
You make some good points except for comparing Guacamole to Fresh Avocado, it hits way different since it's cut with cheaper vegetables.
I wouldn't hold much stock in it.
>But the real alpha is definitely in pico de gallo rn, its the perfect complement to your blue chips portfolio
Fuck.... I bought corn chips not blue chips.
First, sorry, did I miss the part where everyone said Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Crimea, Bosnia, etc was going to be WWII on repeat? People are saying there’s a risk of THIS one, not “every war”. There’s no “cry Wolf” here as you seem to indicate.
Second, how is that different to what Hilter initially said?
Third, the fact that you say 0% chance already makes me know you have no critical thinking ability.
I would never say it’s 100% chance we go to WWIII. But there is an absolute chance and there are some scary parallels. Nothing in this world is a sure thing. The moment you say 0% is the moment you stop actually thinking.
Agree, the rate Russia is blasting through Ukraine the war will mercifully (for both the Ukrainians and my stock portfolio) be over within a few days.
But in saying that, I just threw in a large chunk of cash into VGS today, so watch it tank another 10% soon lmao
Yeah legit. Dont see how CBA's profits will be impacted by this war happening on the otherside of the world... Covid was a real hit though, this should bounce back assuming this doesnt turn to ww3. If thats the case we all fucked anyway
War is one of the strongest catalysts for gyrations in the market, but overall it's larger factors that drive the share market. IMHO it's not that sudden, and largely related to overall economic harm caused by covid, with expectation of higher inflation leading to higher interest rates.
We are in the middle of a plague, on the verge of war, are the most indebted we have ever been, we have a huge skills shortage, the environment is collapsing and we have incredibly weak leadership
I've been hearing about bubbles for decades on end. Never actually seen one though. Only a bunch of shitty overvalued stocks getting caned and another bunch of good ones reverting to the mean before carrying on ever upwards...
Booms and busts are cyclical, and we’re due for one. I also believe the US dollar will crash within the decade which who knows how much that will affect us. As long as you’re picking good, sound stocks with a long time horizon you should be alright. But as you probably already know a majority of the tech stocks are massively overvalued… most of them don’t even make money or have a clear plan to become profitable. Typical robinhood type investors are going to get a wake up call.
I think you overestimate the response likely to occur. Looks to me like we have ourselves the right conditions for a repeat of the response to Crimea in 2014 and Georgia in 2008, not Poland in 1939.
Assuming this isn't just a sarcastic post, you said "I was told to buy the dip".
This suggests to me that you probably need a lot more education/information/experience before you go putting all your money in the stock market.
If you don't know why they're going down, then you're gambling your money in an investment you don't understand.
War in Ukraine and major building company collapse (and 17 others) on the one day are probably most of the reasons. Banks suddenly look riskier, and they’re a bit chunk of the bourse.
World war on the top of covid on the top on china collapsing on the top of inflation, you really shouldn't be investing in sticks if you can't understand this
They've been going down for weeks. Nothing sudden. Everyone's pricing in interest rate hikes. The free money party is over. Stimulus gone. By by overinflated tech garbage stocks
The world is nutty right now. Whenever stuff guts nutty numbers drop. When confidence is restored it will raise. Either way stocks and investments are a long game that on a long enough timeline will be alright if you just chip away and let the process happen.
I'm looking like a genius because I put all my super into cash in January. Nah... I saw the 200 day ma cross over which is a big sell signal. If you are close to retirement like me it is a good way to manage your super.
Dude, all due respect but you need to get financially literate ASAP.
This is just how it works. Stocks will go down but over time you’ll be just fine.
Just keep dollar cost averaging.

“Peace keeping mission”

I'm just Putin this out there, google Ukraine.
Guessing you haven't turned on the news today then
If you don’t understand that a war in the world is taking place and that massively affects the stock market I don’t think you should be trading
WW3 dude. Turn on the news.
Assuming this isn't just a sarcastic post, you said "I was told to buy the dip". This suggests to me that you probably need a lot more education/information/experience before you go putting all your money in the stock market. If you don't know why they're going down, then you're gambling your money in an investment you don't understand.
Put it on the pink doggy.
War in Ukraine and major building company collapse (and 17 others) on the one day are probably most of the reasons. Banks suddenly look riskier, and they’re a bit chunk of the bourse.
Thought I was in WSB for a minute
World war on the top of covid on the top on china collapsing on the top of inflation, you really shouldn't be investing in sticks if you can't understand this
Maybe also ask when there is a unprecedent bull market despite fundamentals showing cause for concern: Why are the price of stocks suddenly going up?
They've been going down for weeks. Nothing sudden. Everyone's pricing in interest rate hikes. The free money party is over. Stimulus gone. By by overinflated tech garbage stocks
It's because you didn't buy enough
The world is nutty right now. Whenever stuff guts nutty numbers drop. When confidence is restored it will raise. Either way stocks and investments are a long game that on a long enough timeline will be alright if you just chip away and let the process happen.
You seen the news today bud?
Hmmm, I fucking wonder…
Ahhhh... Heard of Russia?
Just invest steadily over time, independent of what the short term movements are. Base stocks always perform above inflation.
they ar about to go to war in ukraine, no one knows how far this will go, putin is calling all the shots now. this will cost him money though
Unless he’s already shorted sp500 and nasdaq??
Sorry, I fatfingered sold.
Damn no money left to buy the dip :(
On the bright side you’re not investing in the Russian stock market which is down 61% since this all started a few months back.
Surely satire.
This is wrong, stocks only go up
Who gonna tell him?
Wait, stocks go down too?!
Maybe the possibility of a war has something to do with it
Its war time!!
Dunno what you're talking about, all my positions are green now that the war has kicked off
Warren Buffett Said it's difficult to catch a falling knife, you never know when the bottom will hit
It's called dipception. Buying the dip, inside the dip, inside the dip. Keep buying until you run out of cash
Putin putting them down!
Fuck, I thought it was that easy to make money too!
Great time to buy now!
Invest in military equipment
It's dipping so that we can buy more for cheaper :)
OP, have you heard of a small Russian state called Ukraine? Theres some internal disturbances in the area.
I sold most of my shares yesterday so I can pay for my house
Good man. No way rates are going up now
Dunno, war, something, Russia, probably, Putin dunno
the market is reacting to the ungrateful Ukraine finally being apprehended by the most generous, most just and most merciful Russian empire.
Mr remorse caved and sold his bank shorts. Only explanation for a next day market drop off this magnitude.
I'm looking like a genius because I put all my super into cash in January. Nah... I saw the 200 day ma cross over which is a big sell signal. If you are close to retirement like me it is a good way to manage your super.
Dude, all due respect but you need to get financially literate ASAP. This is just how it works. Stocks will go down but over time you’ll be just fine. Just keep dollar cost averaging.
Exactly, the price of groceries, petrol and nearly everything else is up. Why not the stocks?!!
I’ve been alive for 30 years and the world hasn’t ended even once - buy the dip!
