I was lucky enough to buy some Boeing stock on 5/4, $126. I missed the bottom around $96. But I am happy with the 62% gain since 5/4. Plan a long term holding of that company. I expect $300 in 18 months or less (never a straight line move up or down).

Bought some Microsoft on 3/16/2020, $141. It is up 32% since then. Again I plan a long term holding.

The low on the S&P 500 index was 3/23/2020. It has recovered in 3 months. That wasn’t long to wait for a recovery for somebody that just sat tight and held.
I think the 2008 financial crisis took close to 3 years to recover.

Hemi_Joel (2/27/2020) well the S&P is up 7.2% since then. Glad I didn’t bail out completely like he did.
Cracked_back (4/6/2020) he wasn’t sold on the rebound. But the S&P is up 28% since then. He missed it.
