You sure about that? PPL had generation risk but spun that off into Talen Energy. I don't believe they have any oil/pipeline exposure and if they do, it is much less than Dominion. Think PPL is cheaper due to UK exposure.They have some pipeline and oil exposure but they are a power provider first and foremost. Hence they have a little more volatility than a tradtional utility. Great company. Getting hammered today....cheap stock.
7%. 5% is after-hours. Although worth noting, they don't trip after 3:25pm ET. Have to get the level 3 circuit breaker (20%) to get a halt after 3:25. Level 2 is 13%. So things could get interesting.Circuit breakerr coming? Is that 5% or 7%? Oof
I’m done for a bit. I think there’s a bit more downside even if tomorrow is an up day. Definitely don’t think March lows but I could see a 10-15% dip. Those happen a lot and the market is ripe for it considering how torrid the upswing from March has been.DFS anyone adding?
wire transferWhat's the quickest way to get funds from my bank account into my Schwab account?
Start banking with Schwab. I made the switch a few years ago and have no regrets. Fantastic customer service and i can transfer $$ to my brokerage ASAP. Only downside is limited offices if I ever need to deposit cash, but that happens maybe once a year and i'll pay for things with cash rather than always using my CC.What's the quickest way to get funds from my bank account into my Schwab account?
Is it quicker to have Schwab "pull" the funds or the bank "push" them? Or is it a one-way street only?wire transfer
How do you deposit checks? How are they on ATM fees? I think if my wife had to re-enter all the online bill pay info she might shoot me.Start banking with Schwab.

Oh, my actual retirement is definitely not actively managed. TSP plus 2 pensions.I couldn't imagine the pressure of actively managing my actual retirement. It's stressful/fun just for play money.
Photo with the app or you can mail it in. No ATM fees including internatonally, they credit you any fees you paid at the end of the month.How do you deposit checks? How are they on ATM fees? I think if my wife had to re-enter all the online bill pay info she might shoot me.
I agree. Could easily go back to $8-9. I'm dripping money back. If it goes back up, I'll take a very small profit. Every 10-15% down, I'll double down.Sure, I agree at the bottom it presented more upside than DALand I’m glad you made “huge money” (just like you could have on 75% of the stocks out there over the same time frame). But now? Does it still offer boatloads upside? It’s a still at a bit of a discount compared to DAL, so if you’re still confident in the short term upside and essentially day trading it, go for it. But it’s a terrible airline in an industry that’s going to be impacted long term. So I guess my confidence level isn’t the same if you’re looking for anything other than a quick flip, and I think there’s plenty of downside from $17.
Bottom hasn’t fallen out yet. That’s an ugly intraday chart though. Slow bleed. No support isn’t a good sign. Last hour seems important - John Madden
Damn. Was bad enough this morning, I go for a run and the bottom falls out.
4 positions left to fill in my Roth long term bucket....watching XOM trickle down getting ready to pull the trigger.Bought:
PPL

Why the rush?What's the quickest way to get funds from my bank account into my Schwab account?
Been half in cash waiting for the chance for a week or so...sadly AAPL ran up way past what I expected and I was selling all along the way.Here we are folks......buy the dips.
Probably some more pain.....but hard to time a bottom.
Anyway. take advantage because this is a big sell off today. Pure sentiment....just like the run up. The media blaring Covid is spiking badly...we are in huge trouble, the Fed gave a gloomy outlook......lot's of headline news on this sell off.....oh and profit taking.
Buckle in for the long term. Stocks are not on a fire sale (that time came and went in March) but lots of good stuff down 4-5-6-7%.
BUYING OPPORTUNITY.
Funny thing is, this is exactly what many of us predicted. Just didn't act on it because we don't "know" ####.Here we are folks......buy the dips.

I moved $ from cash to S&P ETF on Tuesday. I knew for sure that today was going to happen.Funny thing is, this is exactly what many of us predicted. Just didn't act on it because we don't "know" ####.
Look for long term investors (like myself) I constantly talk to my clients about this so they don’t get nervous or broadsided by the headlines and panic. We knew it was coming, and we know it is not staying down here long term. So don’t worry about it. Your portfolio has great companies, solid yields. You can sleep.Funny thing is, this is exactly what many of us predicted. Just didn't act on it because we don't "know" ####.
My dad has owned SO for a long time. He was complaining about it the other day and I told him when you factor in your dividends how much you are up. He had also forgotten a 2:1 stock split it had in the past. My parents were good savers but this was the first and only stock he ever bought. Had to teach myself about the markets.I LOVE utilities.
I am always over weight in them.....even when the so called “experts” on tv rotate out.....I buy more. Never has failed me......ever.
Thanks for the heads up on PPL, just grabbed some. Would you average in as a long term hold or as a utility is there less risk to jump in at one time?Here we are folks......buy the dips.

Price targets change as often as my underwear.Not sure where all these bargains are? Most of the stocks I follow are nowhere near where they were even 2-3 weeks ago. Add to that they are at or near the price targets of most analysts?
Someone else has CNBC on right now....Not sure where all these bargains are? Most of the stocks I follow are nowhere near where they were even 2-3 weeks ago. Add to that they are at or near the price targets of most analysts?
Says the guy who's been giving us bad advice and only 30% returns for the last couple of months.We are about 7% away from the May 15th close before this rally really took off.
So as we thought we are having that 7-10% correction (we are just about there on the 10%) correction.
The thing is....you get these fast violent down swings......this is what is so different this time around...vs slow bleed corrections. Elevator down today. Not the stairs.
I expect a little more selling.....but then we start our swing back and we should be range bound thru the election. We have been talking about this for months.
It's probably not the "right" choice but I've started to use utilities (VPU mostly) as a significant part of my "bonds". I know they're not the same, adds some risk, but I'm good with it.My dad has owned SO for a long time.

Start with anything that has sold off over 10% today.Not sure where all these bargains are? Most of the stocks I follow are nowhere near where they were even 2-3 weeks ago. Add to that they are at or near the price targets of most analysts?
Even if they were up 100% in a week?Start with anything that has sold off over 10% today.
Jesus no. OZ come on man.Even if they were up 100% in a week?
I actually like that play. I don't have access to historical yields between utilities and corporate bonds. But right now, XLU yielding 3.33% vs ICE Corporate Bond at 2.3%. I'd pick up an extra 100 bps in yield and also probably have more upside in the utility to begin with. Fed destroying corporate bond yields.It's probably not the "right" choice but I've started to use utilities (VPU mostly) as a significant part of my "bonds". I know they're not the same, adds some risk, but I'm good with it.
