IWO

Thank you. Not yet. We have a saying: "It's better to be late and safe rather than early and sorry." $VIX is much higher than the "safe" swing trading threshold of 20.00. QQQ, IWM, and IWO are in bear markets. IWO's crash is so severe that it's similar to what happened in 2008. SPY is lurching downward and could enter a bear market, too. Bear markets don't end quickly (but at least they're much shorter than the duration of a bull market). They're dangerous and terrible for trading. Risk is much, much higher than reward potential, so the odds are strongly against you. Buying puts isn't a solution because when everyone expects the market to go down, puts become extremely expensive, and the underlying security would need to drop by a large amount just for you to break even, but an unpredictable relief rally could destroy your trade. In a bear market, it's much harder for anyone to make money and it involves a lot more luck. The best response is to do nothing at all. Just wait. Of course, it's possible to make money on panic by trying to take advantage of SVXY, but if you do, use a small position size and scale in carefully. Many people will try to chase oil or commodities higher, but an unpredictable diplomatic breakthrough in Ukraine could destroy those positions. Some people just buy puts on high-P/S growth stocks right before earnings. That will work in many cases, but again, puts are expensive and in the odd case where a company surpasses expectations, your position would become worthless. Now really isn't a good time to trade. When you know that there's a hurricane at sea, don't sail into it. Stay home and wait.

Agreed, once the market finds a bottom, but the order for the reversal to the upside is slightly different: Probably; Expected IWO growth > expected IWM growth > expected QQQ growth > expected SPY growth This is the reverse of what has happened as the result of the POWcycles. I say "probably" for a variety of complicated reasons, but in general, because IWO has been beaten down so badly, we would expect it to reverse powerfully to the upside at some point. But it could spend a long time consolidating while SPY moves up, so it's not necessarily a straightforward relationship. If the current decline in SPY turns into a bear market, and history repeats itself, the Bank of America projects that SPY would reach its bottom by the end of Oct 2022. BoA cautions that history never repeats itself exactly and we don't know if SPY will enter a bear market (but it sure looks that way).

My take is that the answer is probably yes. Once this all shakes out, QQQ > SPY. The real issue is that we might not be near bottom yet. If we do go full bear market then there might be another 8%, 15%, ??20%?? shaved off first. Once there actually is a bottom and some stability then probably: IWM > IWO > QQQ > SPY

Hi, there. Don't sell. Some of those companies have become severely undervalued. In general, growth stocks that crash extremely hard also rocket up extremely fast, once they get going. The biggest mistake that investors make is to sell at the bottom, when pessimism is highest. That's when you should be buying. It's when everyone is manically buying that you should be selling. Study the business cycle. There are certain things that you should, and shouldn't, do in each phase of it. Unfortunately, you bought at the wrong time and at the top, when the companies that Cathie's funds bought were priced way too high. (Imagine paying $6,000.00 for a № 2 pencil, for every single one of those companies! That's what many people inadvertently wound up doing.) You have a long lifetime ahead, so don't worry. Right now, QQQ, IWM, and IWO are in bear markets. SPY is about 7.5% away from being in a bear market. Sometime this year, I expect the market to bottom out. It would be a great time to start dollar cost averaging into the best growth stocks, or you can buy ARKK and ARKG, if you're comfortable with paying an annual fee to Cathie. When you buy her ETF's, she (her algorithms) buys and sells for you. If you're interested in truly learning how to invest effectively, you need to study macroeconomics (particularly how the banking system works, and how to interpret various economic measures), financial accounting (to understand financial statements and interpret them), finance (to understand the time value of money and how to construct DCF models to figure out how much companies are worth), portfolio theory, strategic analysis, risk management, statistics, and (least importantly) some aspects of technical analysis. You also need to build a foundation of understanding the capital markets. It's not just the stock market. Don't forget about the bond market. You'll also want to learn about the options market and futures. Once you understand how all of the different pieces fit together, you'll be better off than 99.9% of retail investors. Given an unprecedented set of conditions created by the Fed over a long period of time, the macroeconomy is in a mess. Everyone is scared. People who panic-sell delete their own money without realizing that they could have kept it, in most cases, by waiting. Many people think that if the stock market remains at its current level, SPY will barely keep up with inflation over the next ten years, let alone enable anyone to get ahead. Given all of this, you have two choices: you can keep investing money in an index fund, such as QQQ, over the coming four decades, and go and live your life, or you can learn to pick stocks. Most people, when they realize just how much work that involves, decide that it's too hard or not worth the effort, and either wind up gambling money away, or give up and invest in SPY or QQQ. Other people invest in real estate or art. If investing is interesting to you, as a process rather than just a means to building wealth, then it makes sense to spend the next five years diligently studying the subjects I mentioned to learn what to do. It's important to recognize that it really does take that long. I have an MBA, and there's still a lot that I don't know. If you're interested in learning, I'm part of a learning community that teaches these things for free. But they're not free in the sense that you have to put in hundreds of hours of time into the different subjects to develop an understanding of them. The results can be life-changing on the other side, so if this is something that you're truly passionate about, it's worth the effort. If your personality leans elsewhere, don't try to force yourself. Learning to do this really isn't for most people, and when they find out just how hard it is and how much work it involves, they wind up frustrated and throw in the towel. If you have the right personality to learn and invest a lot of your money from a job now, by the time that you're fifty, you'll have multiple millions of dollars and will never have to work again, if that's your goal. It's important not to stress out about ARKK or anything else related to money. Doing so winds up making you miserable and doesn't fix anything. It's hard to lose money in the stock market if you learn what to do, but it's easy to lose a lot of time if you make serious mistakes. Over the broad stretch of time, there is a high probability that you'll do very well. Go slowly, never all-in. The financial system has different seasons and a certain rhythm. Right now, it's sledding into winter (and some would say an ice age). Don't let this scare you, and don't let the financial press scare you; that's how they make money. As you get a few decades older, you'll see how all of this works and changes over time. Take a relaxed approach. It shouldn't be stressful, but rational, process-driven, quantitative, and boring.

There's something that I call the POWcycle that has defined market conditions since mid-Feb 2021. The cycle is this: 1. Each month, the CPI is released; 2. Every six weeks, the two-day FOMC meeting is held; and 3. Right afterward, the JPow holds a press conference. Often, because market participants anticipate and react to the future preemptively, there is a mini-crash sometime within ten days leading up to 1, and about one week leading up to 3. It might happen ten days before, but it's not very likely. It might happen five days before. It might happen the day of. Think of atomic orbitals and probability clouds. What this creates is a situation where some periods are relatively less dangerous than others. To really try to figure out the most opportune buying and selling times, make a list of the companies that you're most interested in, and then research how they've behaved for the past year with respect to the POWcycle, and try not to get caught on the wrong side of it. Also note that sooner or later, the market will transition out of the POWcycle into another state. (At a macroscopic level, think of market conditions as a finite state machine. There are distinct states, but identifying the transitions isn't easy.) It will do this when what the Fed will do to combat inflation will truly have been priced in. Since the Fed doesn't know, and since we can't anticipate how the war against the Ukraine will unfold, never mind the virus and the disruptions to the supply chain that it'll cause in China and elsewhere, it's always better to be patient and try to err on the side of caution. The JPow will hold his next press conference on Wed 4 May, which is eighteen days away. If the past fourteen months (with rare exceptions) replay themselves again, then we would expect another buying opportunity in the run-down to that event or during it. Again, we can't predict the future, but we can try to learn from the past and anticipate what might happen again, so that in case it does, we can be ready. That means knowing what we'd like to buy, and having a plan to buy it, including triggering conditions, the amount of capital to allocate to a full position in that security, a scaling strategy, and a risk management strategy. There are three important things to keep in mind: 1. Valuation always matters. Learn to perform a DCF and establish a multiplier for the resultant fair price per share of a stock based on how similar companies' theoretical fair value are being multiplied by the current market conditions. (Multiplier contraction and expansion occur over time as the result of various factors; for instance, with growth stocks, it's a function of interest rate changes and sentiment, among other factors.) Don't just buy shares in a company. Know what they're really worth, and make comparisons. 2. As interest rates increase, the growth companies get hurt the most. This is because their cost of capital increases. (They have to pay more interest on loans. Even worse, they can get backed into a corner and be forced to issue new shares, which dilutes existing shareholders immediately and usually quite substantially.) Because they don't make a profit, they're forced to take out loans or issue new shares (there are other possibilities, but those are the main two) just to be able to keep paying employees. Unless they did this, they'd go bankrupt. This is why investors sell out of and avoid growth companies like the plague in inflationary conditions such as this. The reason that many of them have crashed by at least 60% is because they became drastically overvalued. When a company needs to operate for fifty years to make back its own market cap and it's simply not growing very much, it's important to not get trapped within it, because it might never recover, or it might flatline for a decade while other securities move way up. In the worst case, it could delete all of your money. Sometimes it makes sense to try to take advantage of others' fear. This is why I advocate buying MELI, PLTR, and SE while they're down. Within three years, the probability is very high that each of them will outperform QQQ. 3. Inflation is the single most critical driver of stock market behavior right now. The primary cause of inflation is the doubling of the money supply caused by all of the Fed's money-printing. Some of that money has been burned up by retail panic-selling for a loss, and as the result of margin calls. Both of these delete capital, as if it had never existed. While tragic for the individual or institution that realized losses, this ironically helps to attenuate inflation. The only "problem" is that not enough of it happens to have a major impact, but it does help a bit. Right now, we're in a trader's market characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, overvaluation, and inflation. It hasn't been a great time to be an investor, and no one really knows how bad conditions will get, whether there will be a recession, how labor and fiscal policy will be affected, whether there will emerge a crisis for US debt repayments, given higher interest rates, etc. It doesn't take a macroeconomist to see that there's a lot more bad news than good. Because of all of this, I recommend proceeding slowly and cautiously. Don't get fooled by "relief rallies." If you look at market dynamics, you find that for a long time now, there have been far more companies near their lows than highs. The winners are far and few between, and highly concentrated. This is why investors in index funds have outperformed growth stock investors by an incredible margin, for instance. This isn't healthy for the market. We've been looking very closely for signs that IWO (an ETF that's made up of the growth stock subset of the Russell 2000) has bottomed. No one is quite sure whether we might take out previous lows. This is why I'm personally being very cautious and waiting to see how the market will react to the JPow's upcoming press conference and the release of the subsequent CPI. Market participants can ultimately only price in what they can reasonably anticipate. Anything unexpected hasn't been priced in, and no one has seen a downtrend in the CPI, among other factors, yet to be able to declare that the coast is clear. Proceed slowly. As we like to say, "It's better to be late and safe rather than early and sorry." I know that your money is being eaten up by inflation, but on a single month basis, the decline in buying power isn't very much. Wait for the right opportunity. I hope that this helps a bit. Some of us run a free Discord server, but I don't think I can post it here. If anyone is interested, you're welcome to private message me. Hang in there, and good luck, Artem

Just as painting-by-numbers won't turn someone into Michelangelo, drawing lines on charts and buying based on hoped-for support and resistance levels, fantasy "patterns," the price action relative to moving average lines, or indicators that don't indicate anything is as effective as holding a séance to pick a stock and using a Ouija board to identify a buying and selling price. It honestly makes me sad to see how many well-intentioned kids think that any of this stuff is useful, when their own results tell them the truth, but YouTube keeps confusing them into not trusting their own results. "Maybe I should buy this course," they think. (It would be much less costly and more efficient to read a book.) "Maybe I should subscribe to this callout service." (How's that working out for you?) It's easy to confuse occasional correlation with causation, but the CAGR doesn't lie. It's how you do from 1 Jan through 31 Dec with respect to SPY or QQQ that matters. If you can't beat them, join them. If you want to succeed as a trader, you need to learn macroeconomics (particularly as it relates to banking), financial accounting, finance, strategic analysis, a little about portfolio theory, a lot about risk management, descriptive and time-series statistics in a language such as R, and you need either Excel templates or, best of all, custom-built software and access to stock data, to help you to narrow down the universe of stocks to companies on which you can actually design high-probability trades rather than paying attention to whatever is being hyped on YouTube, buying it, and hoping for a miracle (without a stop loss). This won't work. You need a repeatable process governed by rules and a set of plans to trade your watchlist of stocks, as well as triggering criteria to initiate any particular plan. Aspects of what passes for technical analysis can be useful, but not nearly as much as most people think. The basis for most edges is momentum or mean reversion, using stocks that have the right properties for trading. (Explaining what those are is complicated.) The most useful tip that I can give anyone who trades growth stocks, in particular, is this: "Look for buoys in the water." (It's one of our 53 trading principles.) When DJI, SPY, QQQ, IWM, and IWO are red, you want a stock that's green (or a lot less red than most). And whenever the major indexes are green, you want your stock to outperform other stocks. It's the stocks that drop the least under stress and move up the most when given any opportunity that are the ones to pay attention to. ONDS is such a stock. Sometimes, as in the case of ONDS, fundamentals won't help you. It's too early to be able to rely on them, so you have to rely on a thoroughgoing strategic analysis to identify strong potential in companies that are generally under-covered by financial analysts. It involves a lot of work, but I'm willing to bet a lot of money that if we talk in three years, you'll see what I mean about ONDS. There are a few others, but I can't give everything away. I hope that some of my other comments in this thread will help to put interested and motivated people onto a productive and successful path. It's not easy or brief, but the other side of the (huge) learning curve is nothing short of true freedom. May You Win the Money Game, Artem

Certain names and commodities sectors such as oil, coal, precious metals, utilities are having their own little bull market imo; however, it is clear from the indexes (SPY QQQ NYSE IWM IWO) that as a whole the market still can’t get a good footing and is showing weakness to the point where tech might as well be being pushed off a cliff. Certain names are leading/holding up but at best we are in the late stages of a bear market, at worst. Not that many discounts? Have you looked at MSFT, AMD, AMZN, GOOG, AAPL, getting cheaper by the day.

Your point is true, but ARK is not a good example to make with it, because ARK lost money not just due to asset allocation between sectors, but asset selection (she picked bad stocks). IWO for example (IShares russell growth etf) is only down 18% over that period.

This exists. Without being an “accredited investor,” you can still buy “notes” of crowdfunded small businesses. I would stay FAR AWAY from these services. The reason they are looking for money from non-accredited investors is that they weren't picked up by existing VCs or private equity funds. If you want to add small businesses to your portfolio, consider overweighting the Russell 2000 ($IWM). I have to say that literature shows that Small Cap Value outperforms over long periods of time. If you want to include these small-cap companies, it's been historically better to go with the value-only funds ($IWN) over the growth funds ($IWO).

Obligatory IMO… I doubt you are but If you haven’t been holding these for 9 to 10 months already (Capital gains tax) I’d definitely take profits and never look back. Doesn’t matter what direction market moves. Looked at all your positions. All is well and fantastic job and all. However, the size of your portfolio demands an exit. My take on the current market is either this was the bottom mirroring December 2018 or SPY retest 420 again in 2-3 weeks under the shadow of earnings and Russia situation. If it retests and actually close below 420, IMO it’s going down to 405 and hard bounce back. Keep in mind, midterm elections are end of this year and blue or red everyone agrees Trump was good for the market. Since the market big boys make their moves three to five months ahead of everyone else, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start a rally up April-May all the way to elections. In summary, if I were you, I’d sell all and only keep IWO for a little while since it has more downside. I’ll be watching the 420 hold or break to go heavy on early 2023 calls.

Lol I'm up 115% on my IWO (& a few other) puts. We're gapping down AT LEAST 10% in March and AT LEAST another 10 when Putin invades end of Feb/Early March.

Dude these are great. IWM, IWO a more contrarian play. I also have IWO, SPYG-RRSP, QQQ-TFSA. You need to close your shit. Ignore it. Buy steadily when you have cash.

Erm idk the exact number since I sold some of my late expiry ones to buy sooner puts; but I'm up like 40-50% on the puts now! Definitely still money to be made. I'd consider 225-240 strike price expiring in March for IWO puts.

If you really hate risk you could sell once IWO reaches 240 but honestly 220 or 200 doesn't seem unreasonably to me.

May the odds be in our favor 🙏. Simpler alternative is TZA which is a 3x inverse of the entire russell 2000. More liquidity than IWO puts but also less profitable because it's inversing all small caps not just the growth ones like an IWO put would.

IWO puts: IWO is a smallcap growth ETF (1200+ stocks) which makes it extremely risky. Therefore people dump it during risky periods (i.e. this week). It mooned during late 2020 due to powell pumping but you can see from how low it was during march 2020 and earlier this week that people don't want to hold it. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/s75ud8/small_cap_growth_stocks_are_slipping_iwo_puts/ my slightly longer explanation

Well the Nasdaq is already down 10% and a lot of the money losing growth stocks have already been trounced (IWO -- Russell 2000 growth) is down 25% from its ATH. If history is repeating itself (which it doesn't entirely), March 2000 = Nov 2021 and Sep 2000 would be May 2022. The problem is, the value stocks and defensives are also at all time highs, so I don't think they are a safe place to hide like in 2000.

IWO continues to bleed. It's a small-cap growth ETF so basically an extra-vulnerable ARKK. Puts are currently printing!

I entered these puts starting beginning of Jan 2022 and my last purchase was a few more puts this morning during a fake IWO pump that has now given way to new lows (today's current low is 258 not seen since Dec 2020!). I think now is still a pretty good time to enter with puts expiring in May/Aug 2022 (Feb expiration seems too risky to me). There will likely be more selling of small-cap growth stocks before the fed reserve meeting on Jan 24 and depending on what rates they propose IWO & the russell 2000 growth stocks will fall more or less dramatically. Basically buying IWO puts this week is higher risk and higher reward whereas waiting until after Jan 24 will be less profitable but also less risky as you can see what the fed says and how the market reacts. Also you could buy today and I'd guess that IWO will decline between now and the 21st/24th so you could potentially sell your puts for a modest profit on the 21st/24th.

Up 24% on IWO puts. Definitely not too late to join in since it's the actual fed rate hikes that will make IWO bleed. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/s75ud8/small_cap_growth_stocks_are_slipping_iwo_puts/

In terms of timing, you might be better off waiting for a failed rebound. IWO is down about 11% in 3 days and major moving averages are just starting to roll over. The best entry point would be if it bounces this week but fails to reclaim those moving averages.

Also just found that 3/4 top owners of IWO (Morgan Stanley, BoA, and Wells Fargo) reduced their IWO ownership during last 13F. I know they were partially taking profits but if they were confident IWO was going up during 2022 they presumably wouldn't have sold any right? https://whalewisdom.com/stock/iwo go to the institutional ownership tab and sort by % ownership.

Good point, what do you think about 3/4 top owners of IWO (Morgan Stanley, BoA, and Wells Fargo) reduced their IWO ownership during last quarter?

Not trying to convince anyone here to be bearish overall. I just think there are strong empirical odds stacked against IWO (& IWM to a lesser extent); and that's before you even consider how fucked the market CAPE and buffet indicator are! Not to say that every stock within IWO is shit; some of them are certainly good. The point is that an ETF made up of only smallcap growth stocks is going to get uglier and uglier as 2022 progresses. Here are my IWO put gains (+19%) so far just so you know I'm not some desperate bagholder https://ibb.co/5BZNnNk. My IWM puts are in my fidelity account so not as easy to screenshot but I'm up around 10% on those. To expand a bit on the 2000 $235 IWO puts expiring Jan 2023: very interesting b/c such a large round number (and no other open interest in strike prices near it) makes me think it was one buyer which means someone bet $3-4 million on IWO plummeting >20%. This makes me confident in my IWO bearishness; presumably they have good data if they have $3-4 million to throw around on a single options play that's bearish against a large ETF. Also Brainard, nomininated to be JPow's #2, is very anti-inflation and pro rate-hikes.
