Solid day in the market.  Only lost 0.4% compared to 1.8% for the S&P.  Reduced my cash position from 25% to 20%.  VBIV, WTI, and oil storage were the key components to off setting 75% red in the portfolio today.

I’m Up 0.20% for the day. Call my 1-800 number first stock tip is free !!!!

 
Surprised that Live Nation (LYV) is holding up as well as it is. With all these tour cancellations and delays, I thought the bottom would fall out for them.

It's fun how whenever the market is surging "nobody needs a stock broker", but as soon as things get dicey there certainly are certain guys in here who get tagged in a LOT of questions 😂

In good times, passive investment is fine. In bad times, active investment is needed.

Eh, during a global pandemic is probably a less than ideal time for a power struggle in a country storing nuclear weapons

Market is down a bit more than 1%.  That isn't a crash.  In fact, I'm pretty heartened to see the markets be so resilient with this huge oil dislocation we're seeing.

That's one way to look at it, another is that it gave us one last chance to sell before the plunge.

A ton of the tours postponed....and that is where they are...postponed, are not offering refunds. I have 4 concerts that all will undoubtably be postponed. Only one has officially postponed. No refund offered. Live Nation got their fees. If the other 3 follow suit.....live nation again collected their fees. Bands are not refunding money. 

Obviously future fees are on hold because of no live concert, sporting event activity.....but that is a possible reason it is holding up.....for now.

Anyone buying today?  If so, what are you targeting.  

Hard to sell anything for a loss, but I might move money from small losers to bargain hunt

What time frame are you talking here?

Just an fyi, it's tough psychologically but the market doesn't care about your cost basis so try to make investing decisions based on where you think it's going, not where it's been (or what you paid).

 
Negative volatility in a sector tends to spread to other sectors and asset classes.  That is why negative performance is more correlated across sectors and asset classes.

I'm still nearly all cash (save for CYDY and a COVID-19 testing flyer) and think that we get back down below early April lows. HODLing my cash.

 
I don’t think this is a “time to buy”.  The chart reads 2750 as a fairly important place.  If we break that to the downside it puts 2600 firmly on the table and breaks the upward trend in the process.

Im on all dry power in my trading account.

 
I'd short any May oil contract settling in Cushing, OK if any of those contracts trade in the black today. 

Any pro trader that gets caught long at expiration (230 EST today I believe) is risking their futures license if they aren't able to physically settle the contract.

Today. Might move some stocks the are slightly down for ones down significantly. Not factoring past performance. It’s just hard to sell something you like but I’ve done well recently trading oversold stocks

Wasn't as quick on the draw, but happy with $100.06

I sat there and hit refresh for like 5 mins as it hovered around $100 just for the psychological peace of paying less than $100.  I continued to do it as I kept telling myself $0.10/share isn't going to make a difference on 50 shares.  Lol.  I think DIS anywhere around $100 is a W though!

I do not know what this means, but it sounds juicy.

 
Huge DIS fan myself. I've had a core holding for 10 years that I've added to over time. I sold 1/2 of it a few weeks ago. I remember in 2018 the stock being punished when ESPN was losing subscribers, and that was with sports being played, parks were full, movies raking in cash. Today, if Disney was a stool, it has 3 of its four legs completely cut off. It will rebound at some point, but they are a social company and I feel it is overvalued in this new reality.

I know next to nothing about USO. Is there a carrying cost for owning it? Is there something similar but that’s more leveraged? My antenna is up.

I mean there is carrying cost for owning oil which flows through to the price of oil. Think UCO is 2x that and it just underwent a 1:25 reverse split. I wouldn't touch these things with a 10 foot pole. I bought some death puts on it for fun but they could easily liquidate this thing or CME could stop allowing ETFs to buy contracts or force them to sell.

The oil market is basically broken at this point.  There is nothing rationale about a barrel of oil being priced at -$37.  I would stay away from any of this.

Just picked up more at 99.95.  Agree with your premise, but also happy to wait for that rebound you mention.
