Seeing a lot of popular names down big today, so let’s have a little chat.

What do you do when your hot stock is falling fast?

💥 (a thread)
Check your goals.

When do you need this money?

Now? In a few days? In a few years?

If you have time to wait, then it could make sense to hold on for now.
Remember your why.

Stocks rise and fall. It’s the nature of the market, and swings are the price of investing (h/t @morganhousel).
Just think about Apple. Amazing rally over the past few decades…with a lot of big drops.

Back to the why. If your why behind buying this stock hasn’t changed, then it might be best to wait this drop out.
Re-frame your thinking. This could be a big opportunity.

If you’re optimistic on this stock and you want to be in it for the long run, this could basically be a sale for you.

10% off full price!

Think about opportunity when everybody else wants out.
Whatever you do, do NOT try to time the market.

You don’t know what the future holds. Nobody does.

Timing the market is a foolish game.
Nobody thought the market would rebound as quickly as it has.

And get this: one-third of all S&P 500 stocks have DOUBLED since March 23 (the bottom of the pandemic selloff).

If you sold then, you might’ve missed the incredible rally back up.

DON'T TRY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE.
...and most importantly, don’t panic!

Breathe, and keep your plan in mind — why you invested, when you need the money, when you told yourself you’d get out.

Now get there and crush it 👊
*get out there and crush it, ugh Mondays

What are your money insecurities/priors?

Be honest. We all have them.
I'll start. I grew up lower-middle class with a few rough patches, and I didn't learn a lot about money.

The feeling of losing it all is real to me, so I fear that it'll happen again. No matter what $ amount my accounts have.
I also fear the future, and worry that how we're preparing won't be enough for our (future) kids/careers/plans/unexpected emergencies.

That's probably made me a little too risk-averse.

It’s been a crazy, wild, wacky, tragic, ~unprecedented~ year.

And @justLBell and I have written some 🔥 notes as we’ve tried to make sense of it all.

A 🧵 with some of my favorites ⬇️
Some background: we're a team of two writing research for a scrappy lil brokerage.

When I started in February, our plan was to eventually put out weekly notes as we built out our content.

A few days later, the market peaked. And we wrote our first of many weekly notes.
(you know that saying, the best laid plans often go awry?)

Anyways...

.@justLBell and I wrote a little thing on the five market lessons we've learned in 2020.

It actually got me thinking about one big lesson I've learned in life and in markets this year...losing control.

(am writing more but my maintenance guy swung by)
OK...losing control.

I'm a super type A person, to the point where I've had pretty debilitating anxiety for a while.

It's been a rough year for all of us, but it's been a special kind of awful for those who struggle with anxiety and other mental health issues.

The IPO market is on 🔥 and everybody wants a piece of it.

Just look at Snowflake’s debut this week: it was the best for a >$1 billion IPO since 2013.

Are these IPOs worth the hype, though?

@justLBell and I take a look (and serve up some tasty data)

ally.com/do-it-right/tr…
2020 is on pace to be the strongest year for IPO activity since at least 1990 (the beginning of our data). Image
It's also been an especially good year for the IPO class of 2020.

In 2020, about 73% of all IPOs have climbed on their first day of trading, including *every* IPO larger than $1 billion. Image

You may be seeing a bunch of economic charts these days that look like a broken V (right side of the V is cut in half).

Retail sales isn't one of those. Consumer spending, while slowing (and in a tenuous spot), has fully rebounded back to pre-pandemic levels. Image
(screenshot from my BBG because I just cannot even today)
Here's a look at retail sales going back to 1990 (red bands are recessions).

You'll see that the "V-shaped rebound" in consumer spending didn't happen during the Financial Crisis, but it did in the early 2000s recession. Image

I'm looking at 52-week highs data today.
Only 186 of the S&P 500's 505 members (37%) has reached a 52-week high from 3/23 until yesterday.
