        Wish I had more disposable income. I would have been raking in dough from short ETFs like SOXS, TECS, SQQQ, SDOW, AIBD, and TSLS. Probably a good time now to buy China ETFs, they seem resistant to this dip–at least some of them, I noticed US and Western ETFs started tanking a couple days ago first while China’s stayed in the green or had very low losses for a while longer, now most are being hit the same today. I believe China and (maybe) International ETFs will probably do better than S&P 500 in the future.

        Edit: If anyone new reads this, I just want to be clear that I am not advising anyone to do any investments right now. I’m just making remarks from my little experience in investing, and I was just making an educated guess on what likely may be good investments in the near or not so near future. I had good luck with China ETFs and mutual funds in the past, but things can change. Investing is always a risk no matter what you do.

          China stocks are down too no? Regardless, risky move to invest in stocks in a country that regularly kneecaps companies imo

            Yes, but from my experience so far, if I were to pick what to invest in the stock market, it would be China’s corporations as they seem to have more reliable growth. I made a lot of money I lost before back when I switched from choosing my own stocks to investing in ETFs and mutual funds, especially from China ETFs.

            Too risky, especially now. I honestly don’t recommend shorting or buying with margin, especially for poor folk. You risk losing a lot of money. Saw too many idiots having to owe $100Ks.

            I also don’t advise buying the short ETFs I mentioned above now. It’s probably too late.
