What's one stock your buying in this sell off? I'm so tempted with $BE

Guys, is it just me or do you lot also feel like when someone unfollows you, you can NEVER figure out who it was on your following list? Like, WHO ARE YOU?! SHOW YOURSELF!! Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

🚨 IRAN COULD TARGET UNDERSEA INTERNET CABLES Reuters reports that Iran has prepared plans to attack undersea communication cables in the Gulf if the US and Israel launch fresh strikes. Apparently, they could even prevent repairs to cause longer disruptions. Peeps, this could get pretty ugly if tensions escalate.

EVEN GOLD IS GETTING HAMMERED NOW Peeps, gold has just dropped below $4,000 an ounce. And this is getting pretty interesting. Here's what's happening: Gold: $3,982 (-1.05%) Brent Oil: $115.16 Middle East tensions pushing oil prices higher. Higher oil prices = more inflation worries and potentially higher interest rates. MUFG believes some investors are actually selling GOLD to cover losses in stocks and bonds. And Pepperstone is warning that a proper break below $4,000 could trigger even more selling. So we're seeing pressure on stocks, bonds and now gold. Quite the messy market we're in right now. Personally, I think there's a lot of forced selling going on, which could be making these moves even worse. What do you lot think? Is this a buying opportunity for gold?

FEAR IS TAKING OVER WALL STREET Peeps, the stock market is still sitting in EXTREME FEAR territory. Here's where we stand: Stock Market Fear & Greed Index: 20/100 - EXTREME FEAR Crypto Fear & Greed Index: 50/100 - NEUTRAL And it gets interesting: 6 out of 7 stock market indicators are flashing extreme fear. More stocks are hitting 52-week lows than highs. The VIX remains elevated, meaning investors are expecting more volatility. Investors are buying puts to protect themselves against further downside. Quite a lot of fear out there right now. Personally, I think this could be creating some good buying opportunities, especially in quality companies that have been sold off heavily. But remember, just because a stock has fallen doesn't mean it's cheap. Do your own DD, check the fundamentals and manage your risk. Are you buying this fear or sitting on cash for now? Or chilling?

Who has bought an apple duo already? Apparently, it's sold out. Surely there's one on my timeline has one.

I AM MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED WITH THIS MARKET. Who else's is feeling like this? F + G = 23 ATM 😅

WHEN WILL THIS END ?!?! 🚨🚨🚨 OIL IS SURGING AGAIN. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE MARKETS 🚨🚨🚨 Middle East tensions are pushing oil prices higher, and we're seeing bond yields climbing too. When will this ENDDD. Here's where things stand: WTI Oil: $101.62 (+$2) Brent Oil: $115.05 (+1.66%) S&P 500: -0.32% Nasdaq 100: -0.21% Meanwhile, US Treasury yields: 2 - year: 4.70% 10 - year: 4.99% 30 - year: 5.31% This is something we really need to keep an eye on, peeps!! Higher oil prices could push inflation back up, and rising bond yields could put even more pressure on growth stocks. Not exactly what we want when the market is already having a tough time. Risk manage, don't overleverage and keep some dry powder available.

600 FOLLOWERS IN 24 HOURS 🤯🔥 Honestly, you lot are unreal. Massive thank you to everyone who's joined the journey. Genuinely appreciate you all. Can we hit 700 today? Let's make it happen. Ohh and my new circle drops tonight, so start mingling, connecting and supporting each other. LET'S GOOO!! 🚀

$META PEEPS, THIS IS A PRETTY WILD ONE Looks like Zuckerberg and Meta's board have finally reached a compromise over a new class of shares, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. Here's what's interesting: Meta wants the flexibility to fund AI investments, acquisitions and employee compensation. Zuckerberg wants to protect his voting control, but the board pushed back against giving him unlimited protection. Apparently, 3 directors even considered resigning. LOOL. The compromise? Zuck agrees to stay in California for 8 years and gets some flexibility to sell shares without losing voting power. Quite interesting really. I'm all for founder led businesses, especially when they've delivered for shareholders, but there needs to be a balance between protecting the founder and other investors. Zuck has earned the right though to do what he wants, imo but interesting.

HEDGE FUNDS ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED Just read a pretty crazy Reuters piece on this global selloff and wow. On 22 October, for the first time since the COVID crash, all 3 major hedge fund strategies tracked by Goldman Sachs lost over 1% in a single day. And it gets worse... Tech focused hedge funds: down ~10% in October Asia focused hedge funds: down ~9% in October Meanwhile, data from Citadel and JPMorgan shows retail investors have been buying the dip in semiconductors, neoclouds and memory stocks. Some of the most bought stocks? $NBIS, $SNDK and $TSM. Count me part of this cohort. So we've got hedge funds reducing leverage and selling, whilst retail investors are buying. Quite the contrast yet again. I genuinely think a lot of this selling has become irrational. Hedge funds being forced to reduce their exposure could explain a big part of what we're seeing. Doesn't mean every stock is cheap, but I don't think all this selling is necessarily down to company fundamentals either.

LET'S GET THIS LEGEND TO 1K 🔥🚀 @njcAllocates Massive shoutout to this awesome guy. Genuinely one of the good ones on here. He's so close to hitting that 4 digit milestone, so let's show him some love and get him over the line. Go give him a follow, he deserves it.

Happy Friday everyone ☀️ One thing I've realised is that there's no point working hard towards a better future if we forget to enjoy life along the way. Go out, have a laugh, make some memories. After all, what's the point of freedom if we don't enjoy it?

THAT'S A WRAP FOR ME NOW I've had my red light therapy and now it's time for bed. Tomorrow I'll be dropping another update of my X Circle, giving some love to those who've been engaging and supporting me on this journey. Ohhh YEAH before I forget... I bought some $NBIS today. Goodnight peeps, sleep well and see you all tomorrow. Peace!!

TOM LEE IS STILL BULLISH ON STOCKS Guys, despite all this selling pressure, Tom Lee isn't backing down on his bullish outlook. Speaking to CNBC earlier this week, he said: "We are in an unprecedented time because earnings growth is accelerating." Here's his thinking: S&P 500 could reach 8,200–8,400 by year end. Q3 earnings growth could approach 30%. AI, semiconductors, Mag 7 and software stocks are presenting buying opportunities. He believes fear and heavy selling have created the potential for a strong rebound. I actually agree with some of his points. The sell off has been painful, but that doesn't mean the long term growth story has disappeared. However, I'm still cautious about high interest rates and the amount of debt being used to fund AI infrastructure. I'm bullish long term, but managing my risk is just as important. What do you guys think? Is Tom Lee right or are we heading for more pain?

🚨🚨 TECH STOCKS ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED 🚨🚨 Guys, the selling pressure is continuing, and Asian markets are now feeling the pain too. Wall Street Closed: Nasdaq: -2.60% S&P 500: -1.21% Dow Jones: +0.02% Asian Markets (Early Friday): South Korea KOSPI: -3.21% KOSDAQ: -3.40% Japan Nikkei: -1.55% Australia ASX 200: -0.21% US Futures: Dow: +0.05% S&P 500: +0.01% Nasdaq-100: -0.10% So what's causing all this selling? Concerns around AI spending, rising financing costs and whether companies can actually deliver returns on their massive investments. Earnings from $META and $TSLA haven't exactly helped investor confidence either. What a crazy week we've had guys. Sentiment is in the gutters in the streets with the state of the AI trade. Let's see how we finish the week.
