Dow hit bottom already :dunno:

I think that’s yet to be seen.

My gut says it hasn’t hit bottom. I have nothing to base that on. :lol:

We all wish we had that crystal ball.  No one does, so you follow "best practice".  :bc:

Some screens this morning.  NCL was up 20% at one point this morning. Market movers screen is fun to watch, especially the leveraged ETFs, and a couple sector screens.

I made some purchases into the downturn which did go lower and I added more but ultimately am down at this point in time.  These are positions for me which are 7-10 year views.

SNAP - I own this only because I was looking for an alternative to Twitter and my kids as well as every other kid uses this platform.  I don’t think they have a great monitization plan just yet but it is an affordable play in the sector.

T - I think ATT is a blue chip with good dividend and strong mobile and media outlook.

SAIL - in the IT space, identity management, PAM, and soon IA identity learning is huge.  They are the market leader and Gartner leader.  They are the ServiceNow before that blew up.

IBM - dividend and they are one of the best at AI for both data science and security.

My two REITs...ORC and MFA are on hard times.  But I still like the space.

would like to hear others opportunity thinking.

my buddy loves Snap.  Also loves Altria (MO)

I just posted in another thread, that I just watched Jerome Powell. 

He has really inflated my confidence in the market. 

It's just a matter of time, 'til it's back. 

Powell is large, and in charge.

Good article in “market watch” by Ben Bernanke. Debunking any comparisons to today and the great depression. He’s also supportive of Trump and the feds measures to keep the economy afloat.

Listen to Ben and do the exact opposite?  

Kind of why I started this thread.  :lol:   All those symbols with 2x or 3x at the end are leveraged etfs.  People both make and lose lots of money trading them.

I never felt this was an ACTUAL DEPRESSION/RECESSION situation. We were just slammed with a deadly, demonic, global pandemic, that scared a lot of investors, and rightly so.  

I do believe the markets will come back quickly, at some point. 

Agreed, Trump and Powell will do whatever it takes to keep the market/economy going.

While we had some things in the economy/markets that will make this worse the overwhelming cause is the pandemic.   The key is the snowballing effect.   How long business' will be out of operation and how many are continued to be hurt as people inevitably will change their lifestyle for a while.   Lots of unknowns.

I’m actually surprised that the market has recovered to the extent that it has.  I agree with Joel in the sense that I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet, but not sure I see it going below 18k either.  Every thing I read predicts lots more volatility.

Be better off at the casino , not a single thing in this market runs off anything related to common sense , value or fundamentals. It’s a sick fucking joke 

The market is a casino. It’s just managed on a higher looking level by pimps in suits and ties.

Your knowledge of the markets appears to be right up there with your political acumen.  Congrats.

Some basic sector analysis as it relates to the virus, with some buy rated stocks.  Worth a read if you're an investor, nothing earth shattering here, just solid advice.  The sky is not falling.

I've lost a ton recently, but I don't care. I'm more worried about the virus.

You are going to lose a ton more.

It's already come back a fair amount. 

As long as my family is OK, I don't give a fuck. I pulled some out of fidelity a couple of weeks ago, so I have enough to pay bills, etc. for about 3 years.
