Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon capex spending to hit $725 billion in 2026, up 77% from last year — analyst says bear thesis is 'garbage'

@Monica Bernard That would be useful. The key would be to avoid “doom indicators and news narratives” and instead track a small set of signals across the real economy, market structure, credit, liquidity, and investor behaviour. A practical Bear Market / Crash Watch Checklist could include: 1. Trend deterioration - Major indices below key long-term moving averages - Fewer stocks participating in rallies - New lows expanding faster than new highs - Small caps and cyclicals materially underperforming 2. Credit stress - High-yield spreads widening sharply - Regional-bank or financial-sector weakness - Rising defaults, delinquencies, or refinancing stress - Corporate bond issuance slowing 3. Liquidity and policy - Central banks tightening into weak growth - Falling money supply or tightening financial conditions - Treasury-market stress or funding-market dislocations - Major fiscal or geopolitical shock 4. Economic confirmation - Unemployment trend rising - PMIs and earnings revisions deteriorating - Consumer spending weakening - Housing and industrial activity rolling over 5. Valuation and positioning - Extreme valuations without earnings support - Heavy leverage, margin debt, or speculative excess - Narrow leadership concentrated in a few companies - Retail euphoria followed by failed breakouts The goal would not be to predict the exact top. It would be to assign a simple risk level: 🟢 Normal correction 🟡 Elevated caution 🟠 Defensive positioning 🔴 Crisis conditions / capital preservation Most investors get hurt not because they miss the first 10% downturn, but because they fail to recognize when a normal pullback has become a broader credit, liquidity, or earnings problem.

@Kim Huynh agree it's not exhaustive. At some point it's good to test one's theory and pick just one each column to optimize investing constraints and leverage points in the system

What should you invest in if you have $1 million?
If you had $1 million and were done with the 9-to-5 grind for good and housing , offsprings are all taken care of (no other obligations whatsoever)— how would you allocate it? What mix of investments would give you financial security, a comfortable income, and the peace of mind that comes from a portfolio that practically runs itself?

Fun thought experiment. Mine would be built around one principle: never needing to make a desperate financial decision again. I would probably split it roughly like this: - 45% broad global equities — low-cost index ETFs for long-term growth - 20% dividend / quality companies — boring, durable businesses that pay me to wait - 15% bonds, GICs, and cash equivalents — enough runway to ignore market panic - 10% real assets — REITs, infrastructure, maybe a small gold allocation - 5% higher-conviction growth bets — AI, semiconductors, space, or companies I genuinely understand - 5% “life capital” — travel, experiences, learning, family, and a few investments purely because they make life more interesting The portfolio should cover the basics, keep compounding, and still leave room for curiosity without risking the whole plan. My real rule: I would want enough safe income and liquidity that a 30–40% market drop would be annoying, not life-changing. What would be the hardest part for everyone: resisting lifestyle inflation, or resisting the urge to constantly tinker with the portfolio?

@Liv L For me the desire to tinker is a big issue. To compartmentalize the damage I can do to my portfolio has been a huge win. 💥

SpaceX $135 -> $225 -> $154
SpaceX in a matter of weeks went from $135 to $225 to $154 This means most people who invested above $154 are losing money When you are investing in IPOs, most insiders who invested in previous private equity rounds are excited to "exit" and "take profit" This is why IPOs are very difficult to trade Most of the tech IPOs I observe go down in 6-12 months after IPO. Firms on wallstreet calls it - Price Discovery. But to me, it is just insiders liquidating their positions to retail investors This is why I avoid new IPO until the dust settle It is possible that you bought at $135 and sold at $200. But you need to be quick on your feet and monitor the market very closely.

I did take a small early position, but deliberately kept it below 1% of my portfolio. More of a “tuition fee” position than a core holding. 😅 Having seen Eric’s walkthrough of how many tech IPOs behaved over the past 15 years, I knew the pattern: huge excitement, rapid price discovery, early investors taking profits, then often a much better entry point once the hype cools. Living through it is a good reminder that even when you like the company, position sizing matters. I can participate, learn, and still sleep fine if it drops another 30–40%.

Mine would be: 1. Protect capital first. A great trade means nothing if one bad decision wipes out months of progress. Position size matters more than conviction. 2. Know your exit before you enter. I want to know what proves me right, what proves me wrong, and what profit would make me happy before I click buy. 3. Do not confuse activity with skill. More trades do not automatically mean more returns. Sometimes the best move is literally doing nothing. 🧘♂️ 4. Trade the setup, not the headline. News can create excitement, but price action, valuation, and risk/reward still matter. FOMO is expensive. 😅 5. Keep a “why did I buy this?” note. When a position moves against me, I want to compare reality against my original thesis—not invent a new story to justify holding it. My biggest rule overall: make decisions when calm, not while the chart is flashing red or green. 📉📈
