What stock/sector would you try and buy low?



I'm thinking all in on one of the cruise lines.

Choose wisely. If this thing isn't quelled by summer, they won't all survive.

Exactly.

The 64 dollar question Sam. People that have real answers are not about to give them away, nor rub elbows with the likes of us deplorables.

You may get plenty of options, carry on folks.

Seems like even before this event, our economy is basically a health-care economy.

Boeing

Wait a bit. IMO it’s too soon and stay away from the cruise lines. Go vanguard total market etf or something similar.

3M?

Buy a Low Cost S&P 500 index fund.

Gives you instant diversification over a broad number of companies (505 at current count) over a variety of sectors. You don't have to worry about unknown developments (e.g. Enron, GE or Boeing) - set it and forget it.

We're not investing here; we're gambling.

I've got one word for you. Just one word. Are you listening?

Plastics.

Don't go all in.

Diversify





And stagger your entries, especially now that you can trade with zero comissions

We don't know what Boeing will face yet with the 737 MAX, the KC-46, 777-900 nor, their new space crew capsule, so I'd wait.

I bought (in violation of my own rule to only buy index funds or sector mutual funds) 200 shares of Boeing at about $330, only to watch it climb to $440 and then slide back to $280. They had about $20 billion in available capital at the end of September 2019. They are now expected to raise as much as $5 billion in additional debt to help cover 737 MAX costs that could top $15 billion in the first half 2020, and the bad news just keeps going on. We are also seeing a drop in aircraft new purchases as airlines have filled their needs.

In the long run, Boeing will be OK (maybe not #1 aircraft producer), but they've lost a lot with their inept management.

Yes diversify ;

Toddly: I just had a $100,000.00 C.D. "mature" and I can no longer get the "promotional" rate it was at, for the last year - I am also thinking about buying Boeing to invest this money in!
If a person could only see a bit into the future and know when The Boeing Company will be "turning it around".
Our closest neighbor is a retired "Boeing Fellow" (which is a very rare status/bequeathment given to long time and outstanding employees - who then get their pay "augmented" by being given stock!).
He worked for Boeing's a total of 43 years.
Anyway last year in the "quarter" before Boeing's plane trouble with the 737 "enhanced" started, he attained $1,000,000.00 in increased stock equity and "dividends" on his Boeing stock for that quarter.
I nearly "jumped in" back then when he told me about that - I am now VERY glad I didn't! Stock is down $85.00 a share since then and may go lower?
Good luck if you decide to"jump in".
And if you can see into the future please let me know whats gonna happen.
Hold into the wind

Hahahaha!!!

(Is that "Italian" plastics??)

What a great movie. Thanks for the chuckle.

FWIW I'm glad I bought insurance for a European cruise in May. If there is no control of this virus in the next 2 months I'm bailing.

Who knows, you might be better off buying stock in a crematorium.

Great replies so far.


Thanks to all.



It was a semi-serious question.

Small money here but sometime in the next 2-5 weeks it seems like a good time to go out on a limb.

Well Sam, they say a cobbler should stick to his last, meaning do what you know about.

This might be close to the low of the cattle cycle, I'd take a flyer, and raise more calves. But then, what do I know.

Wouldn't open a travel agency right now...

I rode the Nvidia and AMD wave for the past year. Over 70% increase for Nvidia and over 90% for AMD.

LOL.

I see what ur doin!

Start a travel agency!

That's called gambling, not investing. Dont gamble more than you can afford to lose.
eta: have cruise line stocks dropped? By how much?

CVS

I'd buy stock in a coffin manufacturer.

The worse it gets,..the more coffins will need to be manufactured,.....and the young people are hating on us boomers these days. (paging Jim Conrad)

There's about 75 million of us old Boomers running around these days,......and the young people are planning on killing us first chance they get.

That's a lotta coffins.

Of course,...several of us Boomers are planning on shooting their asses off when they come for us,....but not enough to skew the average.

Lots of Boomers out there are still wearing Birkenstocks and singing, ~~~We are the world,....we are the children~~~

They don't have a clue.

But there's a smattering of us old country Boomers who keep an old .357 handy.

Transportation/ Trucking?????
IDK.....

Justabout everything has ta get from point A to B.

For sure man,


I was thinking a quick hit and get the money back in time to buy some more cows.

This thing is just getting started, anything travel related is going to get hammered. Airlines, hotels, casinos, etc. I’d wait for the real pain hits.

I'm up around 300% on AMD. About where you are on Nvidia.

Yes. A good ride.

By about 50%.

They were up on Friday.

Come in Warren Buffet, where ever you are.

You want some nice breed heifers Sam?, I can get them for you wholesale.

Hand sanitizer is the hot commodity right now...

Wish I had invested in both five years ago.

Las Vegas is also a good place to gamble! Many casinos have a 97-98% payout (only a 2-3% loss on average). Of course, you can also loose it all!

I'm buying VXUS right now. Almost 7,500 international companies in one easy fell swoop, sure why not.
I don't play around with single stocks.

How much is a little money

Don't forget masks.

Buy or start a Pawn Shop!!!!! Good ROI.

True.

"FWIW I'm glad I bought insurance for a European cruise in May. If there is no control of this virus in the next 2 months I'm bailing."

We are (were?) going to Paris and Amsterdam in May and back to Austria in June. My wife insisted that we buy travel insurance, but the policy specifically excludes Acts of War, Acts of God and epidemics/pandemics! Check your policy.

Pioneer Aviation

Isn't that the truth.

Bought MasterCard about the same time seeing how the millennial's hate cash.

That's worked pretty well also.

Pawnshop and undertaker combination?

Thank you, Major Burns!

Perhaps it would also be wise to take a trip to Korea and pick up some of that gold that is lying all over the place.

In your scenario, coffins would be a smart buy. After the youngsters try to kill us, and we shoot them dead, for sure SOMEONE'S gonna need those coffins........................

If I had a little money in the bank I’d buy some more guns. This is also the reason I don’t have any money in the bank 😂

Agree.

SE or Shopify..

Free advice remains worth what you pay for it.

If you're serious in this sentence, then you should stay far away from the stock market.

Maybe a short-term CD would suit you. But you'd probably be better off just paying down debt, either personal or business.

Otherwise, just buy some good young cows when someone else panics, and go with what you know.

This sounds like pretty good advice.

A rancher with extra money burning a hole in his pocket?


This year?




Make sure you properly launder it first..........

Cannibas/ cbd

A smart man would open a Crematorium..........

BINGO!

That took several more hours than I thought. Need to get them up and running pretty quick. Name it 24 Hour Campfire Crematorium, 24 members here invest $100,000 each for the startup. Anyone game? GW

Yes on Shopify!!!

The best buy right now is energy stocks. Here is why. Energy has not gone up with the huge gain in the economy. This doesnt make sense cause you need energy before anything else to make anything. British Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, Occidental , Shell are lower now than when crude oil was $26 bucks a barrel. Their profits are not bad at all, however, oil is now $46 barrel , but they are still making money. Energy stocks have gone down more than any other sector this year by a long shot. Here is the strangest thing and tells me investors are finding how insanely undervalued energy stocks are now. The market lost .85% Friday. Crude oil lost 4% in Friday , but , Exxon Mobil gained 3.25%, Shell, ( RDSB) gained .8%, Occidental gained 2.9% and Fidelity energy gained about 2%. This was on a very down day. I bought just a few shares for my mom ( FENY) at 2pm. by the close I noticed what I bought at 2PM gained 1.9% in about 1 hr. It is energy that will beat the market in the next few years . It is way undervalued and the oil majors give very good yield on their stocks. Example. If you buy Occidental, they will give you 10% on your money . This company is the riskiest however. They give $3.16 a share per year in yield. If you buy $10,000 , you will get $1,000 per year and likely will get that forever cause they refuse to cut their dividends and I doubt the price will go down any further. Exxon Mobil is giving about 5.75% yield, ( or interest) , British Petroleum is giving about 7.5% and so is Shell at these prices. Even the Energy ETF's are giving about 5% in divies. There is no way to loose at these prices. The energy stock prices are so low that they went up on a terrible day on Friday .

Depends if you are a buy and hold guy?

I've got some day trading money I play with and lately its been out performing most of my long term stuff. But, I move it a lot. I miss some opportunities cause it isn't my day job, but it's still fun.

Theres some good med equipment/biotech right now.

Tandem diabetes doubled some money for me although that trailed off.
Dexcom is still going up, last I checked.
Axsome therapeutics was another great buy.

I won't list the bad ones.😄

Backhoe manufacturing.........................


gonna need lots of holes dug to deal with all them coffins someone suggested investing in.


Along with the Ceramics industrials...........................gonna need urns for alla them folks that don't want buried....

Geno

Buy Quantas.
Quantas never crashed.

How many steps, or one and done?

I don't know anything about Boeing's problems, but I have an acquaintance who is a junior engineer in the Everett WA facility, and he says there has been a lot of grumbling about Boeing farming out so much engineering to India. The general thought being that these endless design problems are not going away until corporate decides to quit saving money by hiring engineers from a country that can't feed itself.

There is a small company using the crisper tech to cure a form of blindness people have from birth. The company is 3rd stage of trials and by all info coming out of the tests it is curing this type of blindness. Not just making you see a little but giving you full vision by getting 1 shot. This is genetic editing. There are over 600 genetic diseases that will sooner or later be cure by genetic editing. I had crisper stock for less than a year and doubled my $$ on it . This company goes by EDIT on the stock exchange. Like everything else, the price has dropped a little and I am about to buy some more at this price. When this goes public do you think the price will go up .. or down ? Ray

Any funeral homes out there that have stock available for investors?

Here you are, Sam...

Start your own cruise line

Thank me later...

Lot's of choices, I'll pay 10%, 10% back!

The premarket is down about .8% and oil is up 1.5% as of this morning. Oil is the new gold mine for the next several years , until everyone jumps in too late , makes the energy stocks soar till it goes from way over sold to way over bought, and then the smart people sell in 5 yrs and repeat , repeat , repeat. But now is the time to buy . You can buy Fidelity ( FENY) or Vanguard energy ETF. (VDE) and get 5% dives. Each share has 22% Exxon Mobil , 15% Chevron , 5% oil pipelines and 5% Occidental petroleum.

Buy stock in 3M....they make surgical masks,

Anyone remember, "Buy the rumor, sell the fact'?

If you want a safe bet to get 20%, buy a Dow Index fund. ETF, or Vanguard/Fidelity have them. When the Dow bounces back - as it always does - you bank. Never failed.

If you think you want 50% -100%, go to Vegas.

Amen. When Exxon runs out of money the whole world is screwed.

Pharmaceutical stocks.

Good point and true but what component of that system is on the stock exchange?

Prescription drugs for sure, but I see them having issues from scamming the American public while giving deep discounts to foreign countries.

Likely the same with medical devices.

Up 5.75%

You'd wanna temperature test all of your passengers.
You know... Make sure they're, well...HOT, ya know?
