The two REIT's (cdr.prc and nrz-b) I have have both gotten murdered in the last six since I bought them to the tune of 20-45%, as has gold. At this point though, I'm going to have to hold for the long term. What scares me is how low we're going after this relief rally fades.
I don't know #### about bonds, any in particular you'd recommend for holding over the next couple of years? I'm looking for safety, not high risk/reward.

Educate me on SHOP - actually been considering some May/June expiration puts on them. Less than half their revenue comes from subscriptions and if lockdown picks up can’t imagine Small and Mid-size biz’s will do very well.
Not to mention high valuation and still up 90% over the last year.

Again novice here so sorry for stupid questions.
How does this "futures" thing work? I am used to the trading times being open in the morning then over at 4pm, with nothing on weekends. So what is this middle of the night activity, for example with the S&P? On spfutures.org right now it shows activity today.
Is that all other countries buying and selling?

Thanks, those are low % returns, but I'm just looking for safety at this point. Happy to miss some of the rebound in order to not catch the falling knife. Wish I had Vanguard instead of Merril Edge right now, would jump into some VCLT.

I do think we should probably put it into perspective on what a gamble it is though.
My knowledge of this industry is pretty minimal so take that for what its worth but there are a large number of businesses like CYDY that never get anything to market.
This is still a longshot to hit. While I admire Chet's confidence and willingness to put his rep on the line, definitely need to stay a little grounded. Chet's posts about adding all the time don't exactly spell grounded to me but I've also dabbled into it. I don't bet favorites when I go to the track and this seems akin to throwing some dollars on a horse at longer odds to win.

No doubt that is all true, but isn’t it true for basically any stock, especially penny stocks. Anybody putting their money in the market on a specific stock should probably heed the advice in your post. It’s all gambling.

Would purchasing stock Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO) be a solid move?
In the news right now for producing 5M test kits to test for COVID-19, and recently acquired Qiagen for $11B - the benefits include clinical diagnostics and life science research support businesses. Revenue this year will take a hit with the virus; very much in the news with Trump's team working with them on the new testing kits.
Currently at $295.00 a share, were as high as $342.00

This has been a long term holding in one of my IRA's. It's a good one to have even regardless of the kits, IMO, if you plan on holding for years. They do grow a lot by buyouts but they usually pan out. They also grow their dividend even though the yield is low due to consistent price increase, so it's a good one to accumulate now and live off later.

What's the best investing app? Looking for free trades of course.
Robinhood seems to not have any of the stuff I look for.

Don't use Robinhood...they've had serious technical difficulties for a few weeks now.
I use Merril which is directly linked to my banking accounts. I get 20 free trades a month.(or something like that)
I also have a Fidelity account, but don't use it much...because I have to pay for the trades.

Unless bailouts, loans, and government stimulus can run the country for a long time, I cant imagine the total market isnt down another 20% in the coming months.
But who the heck knows.

Think the market bottoms between 1900-2100, atleast that's how im playing it. I don't expect or care about catching the exact bottom though. Every 10% drop im adding another 20%. Cost basis right now is an SP500 of 2700 with 60% invested 40% cash. 20% more goes in at around 2200 and the last 20% around 1900. Price points so far have been 2950,2700,2480.

The second quarter numbers are going to look absolutely terrible for lots of companies. They will probably look great for some—but I’d have a hard time feeling very confident in our markets for the next 2-3 months. Our unemployment numbers will rise—and pretty soon—I think that there will be major supply chain issues in some markets. In Los Angeles for example—-our port is basically empty—not many cargo ships coming with goods—but stores are running low on inventory. I’m still bullish on the markets for the long term—but this thing is going to cause a lot of economic collateral damage.

It's a measure of put/call spread of very short term options on the major indexes vs the previous close as the 'strike'.
If puts sell at a premium to calls the futures push down.
This is a very high level explanation. Probably there is a YouTube out there that goes into heavy details

Schwab is $0 commission on trades. What I really love about my Schwab account for is its atm card. There are zero atm fees for all atms in the world. That is usually a $5 savings every time you hit an atm abroad. It also has zero foreign transaction fees on purchases when used as a debit card abroad. My Bank of America credit card has a 3% foreign transaction charge. When you sign up for the Schwab online checking account, they automatically give you a connected brokerage account even if you don't want it.

Or maybe not if people arent going to be making money

At this point there are only 156,400 confirmed cases world wide. Even if that number is 1/10 of the actual cases that would "only" be 1.5M actual cases world wide. How do you get to 1M American deaths?

For starters, I think it's safe to say this thing might spread a little more.
1MM Americans might be high, but I think a quarter million was in play before this unprecedented social distancing / shutdown effort was underway. That would have only required roughly 1/3 of the H1N1 infection total.
Hopefully this shutdown works because it's coming at tremendous cost.

I love the change of heart on socialists when it comes to giving to companies. You almost never see the same people against giving to citizens yell about bailing out companies. All the free market stuff dies. I have zero respect for that stance.The General said:
After being introduced to CYDY in this thread, I did my own research, and found what I believe are several red flags on investing in this company. I have 25 years of drug development experience and some specific insight on ongoing research on a couple of the indications proposed for CYDYs drug.
I’ve posted my reasons for long term bearishness on the company in this thread. I continue to the news on this company with interest.

I think earnings are going to be down much more than that. I'd go 25%+Sneegor said:
We are already there. This puts us in recession. When we get out of this, a year or 2 they will announce the start date of recession and it will be dated march 2020.

Infections are growing at 33% daily. We realistically currently have 75,000 infected in the US. Beginning of April we're looking at ~5M infected and, assuming 1% mortality, we're looking at 50k terminal patients in 2 weeks.The Lost One said:
Hopefully this reduction in concentration of people reduced that 33% way down. But it looks to be inevitable that about half of the US will eventually get infected. That means 1.5M lethal cases. Maybe we can get some therapeutics there to knock that down a good bit. But (IMO) 500k+ deaths due to this is baked in in the US.

You do realize that every time there is a recession, people say 'we are not in recession', only to find out at a later date, the recession was already on. It's always like that. You rarely see it coming. I see it's already here. You don't but that's ok, you'll find out soon.

Relatively speaking, that's short term stuff. 15%. 25%. Whatever.
Interest rates are likely to stay low for just short of forever, warranting high multiples. S&P is a bit low at the moment, and was a nice bargain at the close last Thursday. All you gotta do is buy and hold for a year. By May/June, though the epidemic will be cresting, the market will be looking past it. It should be at 3000+ by end of this year, I would think.
