I'm doing fine: my investments in  Berkshire Hathaway are holding up and partially compensating the downturn. I'm investing a bit more  and overall feeling very detached from the stock market at the moment. Either there's a de-escalation and things will improve or I have other, much more serious concerns. I really miss the simpler times of Corona.

I've worked for a completely awful person who must have had that list carved into his bedroom ceiling.  Lying to his employees, then lying about the same thing to his clients, and pocketing the difference - just one of his daily routines.

I treat BRK.B like a mutual fund. Slow and steady.

 

Does anybody here day trade or swing trade? If so, which brokers are you using?

Yep, that's how I see it as well. I invested in 2020 as its shares were trailing the major indexes and they're doing quite well nowadays.

Lost 30% since peak in early January, back to November numbers, but now slowly recovering and hopefully big win by EOY. Basically had a huge peak in Nov/Dez.

My broker called the other day and said I was only 4% down since the Jan. high. Not bad considering that was an all time high for me. The markets sure have been volatile to say the least.

 

We did a little trading.

Hertz up 10% today. People now realized that renting EVs is much cheaper due to gas costs, as Hertz has 100.000 Teslas!

Speaking of Tesla, it's at bargain price! Not as good as a week ago, but Q1 numbers are smashing records, while BMW, VW, Porsche are stopping production.

I'm upset to hear that McDonalds, Pepsi and Coca Cola had to be severely pressured to get out of Russia. They make it sound like they did it willingly. I own all three.

 

BTW, everything is up today. A lot. Woohoo!

IKEA, Heineken, SHELL and KFC stopped their business in Russia as well. Now, Russians have to drink Russian beer.

In rubles.

They have to do something with them. They're valueless anywhere else!
