You can buy put options for nvidia to protect your downside. Right now the VIX is low and buying puts is cheap insurance. I am just starting to look into put and call options for insurance.

I'm torn between holding on to very profitable tech companies that have high PE ratios, and selling for better value, international index funds.

Some say it's time to ditch these AI-hyped companies, but others say that's a mistake.


If the dotcom bubble is going to repeat, clearly it's time to sell. The market is clearly overvalued, and one has to be very careful. However, it seems to me that I always regret selling my tech stocks after they've made a huge run.

I would rather be safe than sorry:

Some people do not factor in dividends and deflation in regards to the 1929 stock market recovery period.


AI Overview

The recovery time from the 1929 stock market crash is a subject of debate, with one common calculation taking 25 years for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) to reclaim its nominal 1929 peak in November 1954. However, if dividends and deflation are factored in, some analyses suggest the recovery time was much shorter, potentially only around 4.5 years for investors to recoup their losses in real terms.

This has been a great year to be in the Canadian index. Gold and the banks are driving it.

My portfolio is up and recovered all it lost big-time, when Trump got in the White House in Jan.
Will have to a wait and see what happens this 4th Quarter.

Overall did far far better when Obama and Biden were handling things.

Shiller PE ratio for the s&p is reaching dotcom bubble territory. Whether it continues to climb for a few months more or next few days, it's not looking good.
