Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
The only way you'll actually loose out is if the company goes out of business or you sell. If you bought stocks that've had stable growth over the past years then all you should do is wait out the cross-market drop. Honestly with everything sliding down, whenever it gets close to the bottom would be a good time to also buy into the market and make bank off of the artificial moodswings of "the economy"
This isn't financial advice of course, just know that if you're gonna dabble in the market know you're essentially gambling - regardless of how educated you may be.
Edit: also if it's a risky company, just trying to cut your losses at the highest possible point instead of waiting to try and break even may be desirable since you're loosing time and money not reallocating that money into a better option.
Yeah, I plan on just waiting for a while. I have a big move coming up, somewhat unplanned, so no matter what the market does I can't dca into anything. I have some weed stocks, and I also bought paypal after the first big dip only to watch it cut in half so that's nifty.
i played the GME game, made a bit of $, lost some doing dumb shit after, then just bought some SPY etf to be safe later. now that's cratering.. but hey i feel better for not buying more shares of it because of a "feeling" months ago that turned out right i guess? gambling it is
I've honestly lost so much more if not for a few decent swing trades I made on tech. Except I bought one too many times and now I'm bagholding. I'm hoping for one more rip then I can cash out, otherwise eh AMD might be okay in a few years and save me from my weedstocks. I really don't know why I started doing this shit, delusions of greed probably if I'm being honest, or just an extra few bucks to treat myself for a change.
ehh.. capitalism sucks nothing wrong with trying to exploit a loophole to get slightly ahead. felt like there was a brief period where the system was so destabilized regular people could take advantage but still required crazy luck and timing. now the institutions are locking it all down again.
