There's been a few different threads about investing lately and I've enjoyed some of the knowledge and opinions shared on investing. I'd like to know what stocks you guys are watching and st what price would you buy them. I'm watching several already but I'm always interested in other perspectives. I'll list a few below.
Boeing BA my broker talked me out of buying it at about $90 a week or two ago because of their problems and debt load. Long term I think they are still a buy and wish I would have bought at 90. If anyone's too big to fail it seems like they are. If it gets a bit closer to $100 I'll buy.
Twist bioscience TWST they make synthetic models of dna and RNA strands to be used in research for making vaccines and other things. I saw them on TV the other day saying how busy they are. I'm watching them for a down day to buy with maybe more of a short term play.
Coca Cola KA They survived two world wars and the great depression. If the price dips close to the 52 week low I'll buy some to hold long term.
Tractor Supply Stores TSCO if they get close to 70 again I'll buy. Solid store and people still need to farm. Not much of a dividend though.
Shell RDSb I already bought and sold some of this and did well. I went for oil energy first because i thought that was where the best buys were a few weeks ago because of the double whammy virus and price war. It's up a bunch from a few weeks ago but if the Russians and Saudis don't make a deal soon it may drop again and I'll buy if it hits 25 or under again.

Too chicken to buy individual stocks, but I did pick up some FSPHX (Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio) and am watching/waiting to step in on FLCEX (Fidelity Large Cap - S&P 500 type) or FZROX (a Total Market fund). These don't have the potential for big gainers like individual stocks but they also tend to take the edge off of a drop.

Awesome idea for a post! I'll take a look at TWST. I bought a handful of shares of ALLY yesterday. My 401k guy told me "dont touch your face or portfolio unless your adding food or stocks".

XOM. Exxon Mobile is a stock that will return to form as Russia and Saudi Arabia quit playing "lets try to kill each other".

Oilfield production companies are just too freaking volatile. I dont have the stomach for it. There are safe bets in tech that are more my speed.

Short list of tech and consumer cyclical stock, I'll add some financials and energy to the list after things shake out a bit. I think we will go down a bit from here, maybe a few more months but I'm building my watch lists.

Great thread 👍🏻
I’m mainly watching some blue chip dividend paying stocks, many of which have already been mentioned.
Hoping it provides a boost fo our kids down the road, at this juncture it’s difficult to see where mom & I will need to touch our investment accounts 🤷🏻♂️
But you never know............opening up your own tiger zoo ain’t cheap
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Any thoughts on ServiceMaster or the like being called in to sanitize before lots of places open back up?

I decided to get a little reckless. I bought UPS, GUSH (2X levered oil etf), USO (oil), SGOL (Swiss gold), Alaska Air. The only one that worries me a little is Alaska Air but they mostly operate in the U.S.
