I'm going to go ahead and recommend you skip looking at the market tomorrow if you're a long termer. South Africa's health minister announced Thursday the discovery of a new coronavirus variant that appears to be spreading rapidly in parts of the country. The World Health Organization has an emergency meeting scheduled for tomorrow. This has caused every market open to drop hard. The Nikkei is down nearly 3%, same for the Hong Kong market. Futures for every index are down hard on the news. And please, before you fill the comments with your wisdom gained from hours of social media about COVID just realize that the market doesn't care. It's showing strong signs of a significant drop no matter what your expert COVID opinion entails. The best way to ride situations like this out where you can basically guarantee that a pretty steep drop is coming is to ignore it if your timeframe allows you to. If you're more short term focused my non financial advisor advice is to try and save as many gains as you can and ignore the losers. They'll just become bigger losers. Better to salvage gains if that's at all possible. TLDR: New Rona variant, Market unhappy, long term investors stay away, short term traders salvage gains. At least we're only open until 1pm tomorrow right! #tcardizzle #longterm #swingtrader #headsup ////// Japan's Nikkei 225 drops nearly 3% as Asia-Pacific markets slip amid renewed Covid fears https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/26/asia-markets-australia-retail-sales-data-covid-currencies-oil.html?__source=androidappshare ////// Dow futures plunge 400 points amid fears of new Covid variant found in South Africa https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/26/stock-futures-open-to-close-market-news.html?__source=androidappshare //// Want near real time alerts on news affecting the market, we've got you covered https://discord.gg/emntYaQkDu

I’m still down like crazy from Monday and Tuesday. What should I do? Sell? Is it always like this? I just recently got into the stock market because I’m self-employed and need some sort of retirement plan. But at this point all I’ve done is lost money. It’s really kind of making me not wanna have anything to do with the stock market.

Great time to buy as much as I can , it seems. Doesn’t even matter what I buy. But if I liked at 327.20 I gotta love it at 298.30 it’ll go back to 548 again . No worries . Thanks for the heads up.

@KMC3 if you still believe in your positions just HOLD and buy the dip. MY Opinion only, not investing advice. Red & green days ahead for sure

I mean.. you do you @spuddro but catching falling knives rarely works out well. Not sure what stock you're talking about but if it fell from 548 to 298 it's likely because there's something seriously wrong with that company.

@GodsGrace411 unfortunately, my belief in a company gadget Glen me very far lately🤷 I haven’t been investing long enough to have built up a good base and I’m down for the year son I’m just trying to find out the best way to hedge against so this turmoil that’s been going on lately. Everyone told me all my money in my lockbox wasn’t doing me any good so I started investing. I would’ve had more moneySee more

@KMC3 Fear is a leading cause of unsuccessful investors. Whats your time horizon? 5+ years? Days or months like this are minuscule to the possibilities of your investments. If you’ve done your research then be confident in your picks. If you’re tolerance is not that high for losses then start setting stop losses at around 10%. Just an idea, NFA. P.S- if your average for ASAN is good then expect toSee more

Thank you for this post. When I woke up my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw how much I was down. I’m in the same boat as @KMC3 and lost about 16% of my investments so far. Only started a month ago but I’m in it long term so I’ll cry into my pillow until this passes. Not much else I can do. Nothing left to buy the dips right now 😭

Red days come. Need to look at the big picture . Zoom out and look at company profile. Business model, financials. May need to wait for gain or choose another stock. Need to have conviction in your decisions. If not, look at etf or bonds. Not financial advice. Diversity is key across categories

Looks like my Black Friday shopping is going to be on stocks and crypto !
Robert photo
We were honestly due for a correction. Now almost all stocks and cryptos are on a Black Friday Sale!
Keri Cheney photo
@SoFloErika exactly. I’m down so far it’s gonna take a year to recoup from all this. I’m really regretting investing. I know it’s the entire market, but that doesn’t mean the entire market is going to bounce back. It just keeps going down. I guess I shouldn’t be investing. I don’t have enough money to lose it in such a mass amounts 🤷

Not an expert covid opinion just hoping everyone in South Africa will be ok. And no I'm not saying that to sound moralistic, I was only making a kind statement.

Well said @A007Kenny I can use a sale to reach some of my portfolio goals. Joined 1 month ago and I am learning from some great traders like yourself. Doing research and D Diligence to become a part time trader with a full time job. Hopefully we can all get action and hit the moon 🌙

I’m over the scare tactics

I am an expert in covid, but that’s besides the point 😂. Not to sound insensitive to the situation, but wouldn’t it be smart to invest in bio/pharm companies here in the US? Hate to be so opportunistic, but on the other hand theoretically it would financially help some of these companies with new therapeutic interventions?

Market data powered by Xignite.

All investments involve the risk of loss and the past performance of a security or a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.

Stocks, ETFs, Options, Bonds.
Self-directed brokerage accounts and brokerage services for US-listed, registered securities, options, and Bonds, except for treasury securities offered through Jiko Securities, Inc., are offered to self-directed customers by Open to the Public Investing, Inc. (“Public Investing”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. Additional information about your broker can be found by clicking here. Public Investing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Public Holdings, Inc. (“Public Holdings”). This is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or open a brokerage account in any jurisdiction where Public Investing is not registered. Securities products offered by Public Investing are not FDIC insured. Apex Clearing Corporation, our clearing firm, has additional insurance coverage in excess of the regular SIPC limits. Additional information can be found here.

Options.
Certain requirements must be met in order to trade options. Options can be risky and are not suitable for all investors. Options transactions are often complex, and investors can rapidly lose the entire amount of their investment or more in a short period of time. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Refer to the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering any options transaction. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request. Tax considerations with options transactions are unique and investors considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.

Options Order Flow Rebates.
If you are enrolled in our Options Order Flow Rebate Program, Public Investing will share a percentage of our estimated order flow revenue for each completed options trade as a rebate to help reduce your trading costs. Rebate rates vary monthly from $0.06-$0.18 and depend on your current and prior month’s options trading volume. This rebate will be deducted from your cost to place the trade and will be reflected on your trade confirmation. To learn more, see our Options Rebate Program Terms & Conditions, Order Rebate FAQ and Fee Schedule.

Bonds.
“Bonds” shall refer to corporate debt securities and U.S. government securities offered on the Public platform through a self-directed brokerage account held at Public Investing and custodied at Apex Clearing. For purposes of this section, Bonds exclude treasury securities held in treasury accounts with Jiko Securities, Inc. as explained under the “ Treasury Accounts” section.

Investments in Bonds are subject to various risks including risks related to interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. The value of Bonds fluctuate and any investments sold prior to maturity may result in gain or loss of principal. In general, when interest rates go up, Bond prices typically drop, and vice versa. Bonds with higher yields or offered by issuers with lower credit ratings generally carry a higher degree of risk. All fixed income securities are subject to price change and availability, and yield is subject to change. Bond ratings, if provided, are third party opinions on the overall bond's credit worthiness at the time the rating is assigned. Ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, and they do not address the market value of securities or their suitability for investment purposes.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The Bond Account’s yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule.

Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions.

Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on Public and cannot be transferred to other brokerages. Read more about the risks associated with fixed income and fractional bonds. See Bond Account Disclosures to learn more.

High-Yield Cash Account.
A High-Yield Cash Account is a secondary brokerage account with Public Investing. Funds in your High-Yield Cash Account are automatically deposited into partner banks (“Partner Banks”), where that cash earns interest and is eligible for FDIC insurance. See here for a list of current Partner Banks. Your Annual Percentage Yield is variable and may change at the discretion of the Partner Banks or Public Investing. Apex Clearing and Public Investing receive administrative fees for operating this program, which reduce the amount of interest paid on swept cash. Neither Public Investing nor any of its affiliates is a bank. Learn more.

Cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency trading, execution, and custody services are provided by Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1828849) (“Bakkt”). Cryptocurrency is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrencies offered by Bakkt are not securities and are not FDIC insured or protected by SIPC. Your cryptocurrency assets are held in your Bakkt account. Bakkt is a licensed virtual currency business by the New York State Department of Financial Services and a licensed money transmitter, but is not a registered broker-dealer or a FINRA member. Your Bakkt Crypto account is separate from your brokerage account with Public Investing, which holds US-listed stocks and ETFs. Please review the Risk Disclosures before trading.

Treasury Accounts.
Investing services in treasury accounts offering 6 month US Treasury Bills on the Public platform are through Jiko Securities, Inc. (“JSI”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. See JSI’s FINRA BrokerCheck and Form CRS for further information. JSI uses funds from your Treasury Account to purchase T-bills in increments of $100 “par value” (the T-bill’s value at maturity). T-bills are purchased at a discount to the par value and the T-bill’s yield represents the difference in price between the “par value” and the “discount price.” Aggregate funds in your Treasury Account in excess of the T-bill purchases will remain in your Treasury Account as cash. The value of T-bills fluctuate and investors may receive more or less than their original investments if sold prior to maturity. T-bills are subject to price change and availability - yield is subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in T-bills involve a variety of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. As a general rule, the price of a T-bills moves inversely to changes in interest rates. Although T-bills are considered safer than many other financial instruments, you could lose all or a part of your investment. See Jiko U.S. Treasuries Risk Disclosures for further details.

Investments in T-bills: Not FDIC Insured; No Bank Guarantee; May Lose Value.

Banking services and bank accounts are offered by Jiko Bank, a division of Mid-Central National Bank. JSI and Jiko Bank are not affiliated with Public Holdings, Inc. (“Public”) or any of its subsidiaries. None of these entities provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.

Commission-free trading refers to $0 commissions charged on trades of US listed registered securities placed during the US Markets Regular Trading Hours in self-directed brokerage accounts offered by Public Investing. Keep in mind that other fees such as regulatory fees, Premium subscription fees, commissions on trades during extended trading hours, wire transfer fees, and paper statement fees may apply to your brokerage account. Please see Public’s Investing’s Fee Schedule to learn more.
