@fantasycurse42 I like your thinking on DIS. I own none of it now, but will be tracking and looking to make a buy in.
There are people posting their net worth and SS# in the 401k thread. I think you're good.not here much but love reading thoughts from those here who have a pretty good handle on stocks & the overall market. just wondering whether bad form to post the number of shares I bought. I don't want to be ---hey LOOK at me.
Thanks.
I have 105 shares, but I bought in at 17.not here much but love reading thoughts from those here who have a pretty good handle on stocks & the overall market. just wondering whether bad form to post the number of shares I bought. I don't want to be ---hey LOOK at me.

Do you think he has a live futures ticket on that podium?
When was it ever 17? Holy mamma, nice pick.I have 105 shares, but I bought in at 17.
I did sell a large swath of CVX today. I see oil and oil companies wallowing down for quite a while with this. Bought some big chunks of PCI and IVV to replace. Once the dust settles a tad I'll buy another tranche of TMF and UPRO.
Are you watching this press conference? “Companies need to get their pandemic plans in order”Explanation please.
Obviously, but what I’m hearing right now sounds scary.If they never have to shut down a US-based park, maybe it looks good sooner than later. Anybody want to bet on that right now?
Just wait until President Bilzerian takes office.imagine 5 years ago somebody telling you we were on the verge of an outbreak and Donald Trump was walking up to the stage to try and calm us.
2008ish. Bought at 100 and it did a 7-1 split a bit after that. It actually went down to 80 (pre split) and I waffled on loading up the truck. Worst investing decision ever.When was it ever 17? Holy mamma, nice pick.
kudos.
Losing Iger is about the same as losing Steve Jobs. IMO, of course.Explanation please.
Well, might want to wrap it up and get your bunker in order chief.No, dealing with dinner, homework and kids.

I’d be shocked if that after hours holds up at all. The stock has been on a nice run already (up 41% this year) and revenue beat estimates by under 2%. That sure doesn’t seem like a 17% more pop. I have some stocks that got dragged down by the current sentiment that beat estimates by a good amount more.TDOC!
I feel pretty good about it. Strong member growth. Bottom line expected loss of .33, came in at .26. Good guidance. Lots of people at death's door AND unable to leave the house. What more could you want? Might not hold completely, but I doubt it gives it all back.I’d be shocked if that after hours holds up at all.

Actually, SQ beat estimates way more and is up half as much after hours. I don’t trust after hours. I think AMZN’s previous quarter (not last one) had it up nicely after hours and the next day it ended up shaving off almost all the initial gains.
Disney is one of my favorite companies, they’ll be just fine, but the whole point of owning stocks is buying low and selling high. Disney is a huge risk right now imo. I mean before we even get to macro stuff, Iger is no longer CEO, that’s already an unknown. Add in a remote chance of a pandemic and I’ll buy a lot more of this at a lower price.I own some DIS. The fear of the virus is building, not coming down. I wouldn't put money into DIS until after earnings and what I suspect to be lowered guidance for the next quarter. I'm letting the fear run for a couple of more weeks before moving more money into the market.
Do you take the LIRR into Manhattan? Have you considered driving? Garage in my office is $600 for an SUV, but honestly, I think that’s my preference for now over the subway or taxi.I’m still 25% in cash and waiting for the right time to jump in with it. Feels like I should still be waiting.
That's why trying to time the market is so foolish. You'll never know when to put it in and you'll likely completely miss the mark.I’m still 25% in cash and waiting for the right time to jump in with it. Feels like I should still be waiting.
I put half my cash reserves to work recently (AAPL, AMZN, XOM, BRK B, MRK in case you’re wondering) and holding the other half back. Just spitballing here, but another 10% drop would probably put that cash in play so, what, Dow below 25K and I’m all in? Seems reasonable to me. I own some SPY puts as a hedge and some MRNA and GILD so I’m friskier than I otherwise might be.I’m still 25% in cash and waiting for the right time to jump in with it.

Miss the bottom sure, but I read a good article about always having cash on hand as 20% dips in the market can be really common. 25% cash is a little much unless you did it last Thursday. I was at about 10% cash pre dip, probably closer to 12-15% cash now. I see this going to get to a 15-20% drop so when I see some of watch list getting around there, I’ll move that back in.That's why trying to time the market is so foolish. You'll never know when to put it in and you'll likely completely miss the mark.
You mean because of Coronavirus? Yes I take the LIRR and subway every day. As usual it’s nasty and packed with unwashed strangers. But I can’t imagine dealing with the traffic every day, and I wouldn’t want to lose the 3 hours round trip e-mail/reading/work time while driving. If it got that bad, I’d get a car service each day. Probably $200 each way, oof (and if this became a real thing, hell, you can bet those prices would escalate fast).Do you take the LIRR into Manhattan? Have you considered driving?

Sounds good, thanks gents. Yeah I’ll wait a bit longer.I put half my cash reserves to work recently (AAPL, AMZN, XOM, BRK B, MRK in case you’re wondering) and holding the other half back.

So glad my wife and I work from home. We do travel some, her more than me so that might slow down.You mean because of Coronavirus? Yes I take the LIRR and subway every day.

Risky in a bull market. Been there done that. However in this selloff, step away for even a day and you are instantly outperforming the markets for the year. Then it all comes down to how greedy you want to get.That's why trying to time the market is so foolish. You'll never know when to put it in and you'll likely completely miss the mark.
I'm no financial analyst---but I posted this several hours ago. While I do think that in the long term the markets will work their way back up (assuming that Trump wins)--I do think there are lots of factors in the short to medium term that could effect the markets and volality. I want to reiterate that this was just some spitballing and is nothing more than an opinion.I’m still 25% in cash and waiting for the right time to jump in with it.

It’s sticking although definitely overvalued. It’s up 60% this year. SMH. I almost bought some at $95 a couple weeks ago. Should have bought it last year.I feel pretty good about it.

I'm dubious of the methodology here.Ole Mom & Pop got suckered in again by the way.

gosh darnit people. I feel like the ####### Dark Sky App...telling you when it's going to rain, how much it's going to rain and when the rain is likely to stop. And y'all are like..."no one can predict the weather" or " I'm not going to look outside but it's been raining so I guess right now it's sunny"That's why trying to time the market is so foolish. You'll never know when to put it in and you'll likely completely miss the mark.
