Ford at $5.00.

bought ford after auto bail outs at $7 went to $15 not long after,and hasnt done much since.

I threw $500 at it at $5.00, just to horse around a bit.

Seems like Rose-Colored-Glasses aren't scarce these days.

On any investment now,
one has to ask the question:

How will this industry be affected both short term and long term,
by the 2.2 Trillion $ the government just borrowed,
and the additional 3 Trillion $ it may borrow in the next few months?

It is not anywhere near “normal” conditions.

The only year similar was perhaps 1945.

When the talking heads on TV start telling you not to sell, you are already 2 weeks late in selling everything.

And three weeks behind some of our serving leaders that did insider trading.

I had a call today from my stock guy.. I pretty much knew what he was gonna say but I asked..
how bad is it.. he asked if I REALLY wanted to know.. he said things arent looking good but he
also said not to worry... I'm in a few guaranteed funds.. we will see

Should've waited a few days.

I'm not sold on the rebound as much as the knuckleheads on financial tv crow about it.

Increasing prices on declining volume... not usually a recipe for success.

I think the "V" we've heard so much about is going to be a bit misshapen.

I personally think this bounce is just adding a little padding to give room to fall once the next round of earning start. The major companies all have those in the next month or so. I am sitting about 85% cash after today. I have basically been trading the bounces. Buy on red days and selling on Green Day’s. It has really worked out well with these wild swings. I jumped out a bit early today but still had one of my best days. Considering the climate...my account chart looks pretty good!

This market still makes no sense to me. I am staying out of it with one-eye open waiting for a better opportunity.

I agree, otherwise I would be loading the boat. I know the government injections have propped up the market and then you have the FOMO (fear of missing out) people racing in thinking it is a V bottom. However you can’t overlook that most companies took a HUGE hit to the bottom line. My first thought when all this was starting up and businesses were closing down was, CVS, Walgreens, grocery stores, Dollar General, Walmart, Target and credit card companies would be huge winners. However all of them are bound to suffer. They all have shortened their hours and limiting the number of customers. That is hard to overcome.

Funeral services! My grandfather said to invest in hospitals and funeral parlors. You have it covered coming and going.

I know someone close to me that works in a hospital. I can tell you that their bottom line is going to be terrible. All elective surgeries have been cancelled and about every hospital out there is trying to empty every possible room they can. They don’t want to put any more people in harms way than they absolutely have to. In doing that....they are having to furlough staff and cut hours across the board.


Funeral services....well being they are asking people to not attend services....people are not spending near what they would if they were expecting hundreds of people.....some are only doing graveside for the absolute immediate family. CSV is a stock that I watch because someone I know manages one of their facilities.

Up almost $19/share in less than a month.

Yeah I'm usually a long term investor but I decided to move to cash when this virus stuff started to break. I did do a little short term speculation with the cash recently and picked up a nice chunk of change but I'm not ready to make long term investments right now. It looks like things are going to be pretty rough for at least six months. I don't expect everything to be back to normal until a vaccine is widely available and that could be at least a year away.

Just been day trading for the last couple of weeks and doing pretty good. Not as good as I would have if I loaded up on all big names and let it ride. However I can sleep at night without worrying if a bad headline was going to wipe all my gains. I think we are headed back to around 260 on SPY, which is when I will start buying back in for a longer term.

I've been using the latest run up to exit most of my positions. I see no reason to be invested now. We're looking at some serious damage to the economy over the next 12 months so I don't see any reason to own stocks while all of that gets sorted out. I'll get back into the market once things settle down. I don't really know why the market has been moving up so strongly the past few weeks. Someone big is betting on a quick return to normal but everything I see and hear tells me that a lot of little guys are in the process of being wiped out. So I'll just wait this one out. I really don't need to take a bunch of risk for a small reward at this point in my life.
