In at 14.  Small potatoes, but could yield large.

Bought today.

If the market is down again tomorrow I will buy something. Basically buying at 1,000 point intervals of the dow.

Once the dust from this settles, it will be a good time to buy into the big banks.  BOA, Chase, Wells, etc... are all likely to go back up significantly over the next 6 months.  I also bought some Clorox stock last week.  Its up about 20 since I bought it.

A part of me wonders if they should just shut the market down at this point.  Performance seems to be based more on panic and emotion than on rational thought.

Using that logic, the White House should be demolished tomorrow.

I usually stay away from options but I bought a large position today in this.

Everybody hoping to have the economy open has the stock market a bit up after that announcement on Thursday. Well how long it will last we shall see.

Oil ran up on hopes of a government bailout. 

 

Added a small position in hertz figured why not with them at $3.51 yesterday. Long term play.

 

Might do the same with AMC. Nothing to big.

I really need to learn options. Also watching Ford.  Going to add it to my portfolio shortly.

Don't learn from me as I am taking a bath on that option. I usually buy both a put and a call (a straddle) but I ignorantly thought there was way to much upside to bother with the put. But I have 9 months to recover. I agree it looks like a good one to add.

The problem with options is when the strike date hits and you are out of the money it closes and you own nothing. Ford is way down but i can hold it forever or until it goes bankrupt.

Learn straddle strategies. It's harder to lose money. All you need is for the stock to go up or down enough. So buy a straddle with a strike date in 2022 and wait for some movement.

I've been buying and selling Ford for the last few weeks.
