- (5 points, 5 replies) What is the point of being in the market anymore? I started investing in 2015 and have come full circle to having no overall gains. Currently flat over almost 8 years. No I am not a meme stock holder. Yes had some awful blow ups like TDOC and DKNG, but that’s it. This was driven by positions blowing up like VZ, Intel, T, Baba, etc. Doubling my DCA index fund additions in 2020 and 2021 buying the SP500 at way higher levels have brought my index funds to negative. Sure I have some gainers but the losses are massively outweighing the winners. I feel the risk/reward just isn’t there. Savings rates, CDs, treasuries, money market accounts can all pay risk free and leave me sleeping better at night not constantly worrying about the volatility. Honest discussion why continue investing in this environment? Hoping for the Fed pivot means that conditions have worsened so much they have to step in and take action. This is not a good scenario either. Feeling frustrated as hell
- (3 points) I can't tell if you're trying to be mean, but I'll share anyways. First, I didn't say I called the top or bottom. I just try to make sense of the risk-return profile of the market. The timing happened to work out well, but again, I wasn't saying anything super actionable. Just for reference, [here is a summary of comments that kind of gave a real-time snapshot of my thought process the last couple of years.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/ug3sdi/just_a_friendly_reminder_that_nobody_knows_what/i6xg62p/). In regards to where I think value can be found currently, I won't give anything specific, but some ideas might be: * SPAC and high growth darlings and other ARKK-esque type companies that are now down 70%+ since mid 2021. Companies like Shopify, Spotify, square maybe are all companies that have actual business models that have been dragged down in a big way. It's up to you to do your own due diligence, and I haven't looked at any of these companies in particular, but it's a great place to look. Also note, I've been saying this since early this summer, so I've clearly been early / wrong to this point. * I'd steer clear of the "value" type names that carry a high multiple. Companies like $JNJ and $KO, for example, are trading at higher PE's than the market, but have slower growth than the market. They trade at a premium because they're perceived to be lower risk (which they probably are), but their returns will probably lag the market over the long term. * Conversely, there are still some "value" names that are still trading very cheaply. $VZ is one that comes to mind with an 8× PE ratio and pretty steady earnings. I think one of the big perceived risks is their debt load, but most of their debt is fixed rate bonds with maturities beyond 5 years. If you project interest rates to be lower 5 years from now, it could return 12% cagr over the medium term (3-5 years). There's risk with them losing customers and big capital outflows expanding their 5G network though (but that's why they're trading so cheaply). I don't own VZ. * Developed international. See the link in my top comment for the rationale there. * I think in the next couple of years, we'll see the trend of "catalyst" investing return, especially if the market churns sideways for another year. There's still plenty of reason for the market to move up. I'm not advocating going to cash or anything. But I do think now is a fine time to be diversified. I think domestic stocks, bonds, and international should see less correlation going forward (again, see my top level comment for my reasoning).

Failures to Deliver
Each point represents the aggregate net balance of shares that failed to be delivered as of a particular settlement date.
Please note that fails-to-deliver can occur for a number of reasons on both long and short sales. Therefore, fails-to-deliver are not necessarily the result of short selling, nor evidence of abusive “naked” short selling. For more information on short selling and fails-to-deliver, see Key Points About Regulation SHO, Division of Market Regulation, and Final Rule: Short Sales.
