Agreed. A token gesture to appease the uninformed and ignorant, nothing more.

It also sends a message that the Dow Jones is more important then the emergency room, if you are sick.

Kinda like the cable company reducing late fees if you are an infected area?

It is beat up and just on Feb 24 they kept the dividend for shares held owned thru 3-21-2020. Never know for sure but they seem to be dedicated to keep it. Just bough veggie brand.

Here's a couple more I'm trying to get some more of but so far they haven't come down. Slack tech. symbol WORK bought @ $20 in Jan. just not enough Lol And store capital symbol STOR trying to get more around $31 which would be around 10% lower.

Hope to see the real fear selling & panic kick in and drive the SP down to around 2480-2500 will be a 20% off sale. Be patient!

And it’s up over 1,000 points now....

Closed up 1173 at 27,090, Nasdaq up 334 to 9018. The news says Biden, I would say the feds move yesterday had something to do with it. As long as housing stays strong, no worries. Housing and the economy are what to watch, not building or selling omes, market goes to safe harbors.

These wild swings are crazy.....but good for trading!!! Back to 50% cash after selling Visa again today. Buying low and selling high....

So for a week we have told the market decline was due to a coming virus and its effect on business.

Now yesterdays rocket recovery is based the surprising results of one candidate in the polls who supports health/insurance market status quo.

Nobody should be deluded into thinking who the market is really looking out for.

Another big down day opening coming today. At least that’s what the premarket are showing

it's going to quite volatile for a while to come.
cruise ship off of california is parked offshore with virus cases on board and a death from the virus in Cali that is related to that cruise ship...(also, we are not even sure the CDC has accurate tests for the virus)
airline revenues are way down, the virus is spreading pretty quick, no telling how much this is going to affect the economy.

I personally think that this is a 3-4 month issue. Similar to a flu season. I may be way off but what other similar issue has been a long term discussion? We have had bird flu, swine flu and West Nile virus. All of those were panic situations that lasted a few months and then the fear subsided.

I bought some of my Visa shares back today at 187.10. Would like to get more under 185 and will load up more under 180 and go all in at 173.50 with a stop loss (completely exit) at 171.87.

I got out and went to cash and back into CD on Monday, I had stated that on my post that got scrub.
I had 10% loss as my get out cut off #, now I'll wait for 90 days and see what happens and decide then to get back in or stay out some more.
I hope all on here haven't got hurt to bad

But there is now one great difference, but no one here is allowed to discuss it, just sayin.

I would rather invest in myself than stocks, I can buy a truck with a blown up engine at the auction for say $5000, stick in an engine for $2500 and sell the same truck for $12,000 so that's where my money goes. Average time for me to flip one is less than 6 months, the more cars I buy the more I have on the lot the more money I make, can't make those kinds of returns in the stock market on a regular basis.

That's great, I love flipping stuff for a buck as well. But that's work/business, not investing. Investing is using your capital to make money off of other people's work.

If you're doing that for spending/hobby cash, that's great. If you're doing that as a long term financial plan, you'll have to work at least 3 years after you die before you can retire.

Looks like you got more if you had a limit order today's low so far is $180.20

Yep...got a few more shares this morning.

I'm still on the side line, but will take a very small position in MORL if it gets under 12.25 again. Just for fun.

Joel it was down as low as $12.19 today
