UPS is heavily shorted with a large $90.00 put option in play and a small $85.00 put option also. I moved up my strike price to $83.74, a support level.

the loss is on paper. the loss is not real unless you sell at that price.
we have lost ( on paper ) over 100k in this 4000 pt loss in the stock market but the loss is not real unless we cashed out or if the market never recovers. we still think long term and are not too worried .

Only losing money if I sell. Always get paid with dividends.
I've been investing 5 years now. I'm now at a break even point, after being up 20% a month or so ago.
I feel I got in too late. I should halt everything it feels like. My money is barely growing. Yet I hear stories some are up hundreds of thousands
What's the true story?
IM PT. I have other means than than the $20k pt wages. But it feels like there isn't growth with the current index fund options or a basic 5% discount on the stock. I'd be better off investing it all on my own.
At this point. Put it all on black at the roulette table.

Sounds like you have a long time til you retire, so don't worry about it. Regardless of what happens over the next year or two, in ten years the S&P 500 will likely be at least double what it is today and if you stop investing now you will miss out on all that growth. Keep putting money in there every week and let the market do whatever it does.

Don't be.
You'll probably be on another job path or dead before you can collect.

I have been trying to buy in my SMA and it won't let me. They must have halted trading.

Some trading platforms are having trouble keeping up. They will not stop trading, too much money being made on the short and put markets.

It's not a buying day anyway. Way too many shoes yet to fall.
It paused a couple of minutes after the market opened . It won't pause again unless it hits -13%

I have never tried to time the market before but I see this as an opportunity. sure it may go down more . But we have a lot of cash reserves and am not "going all in" . Just enough to be interesting when and if the market recovers.
It may not get back up to 30k this year since some of this may be tied into a correction. that's okay too. the DEMS are being handed a gift and will probably still screw it up.

$12k VTSAX for our 2019 Roth IRA's. Gotta get it in by April 15th, now is as good a time as any.
It may be cheaper by the end of the week. Lol

Wouldn't be surprised. Can't touch it for 20 years I doubt I'll even remember this blip.
