  1. I don't know that everyone thinks that, I have seen multiple people on the tube today saying just that. And others saying we may have seen the bottom. I think everyone thinks there will be continued volatility, what they dont agree on is will there be bigger down days or up days in the future. TLDR - no one knows shit.
  2. We listed a house two weeks ago we were renting out, got multiple offers and got a buyer through, they backed out last weekend but at least they released the earnest money to us. Now we have to relist and I worried the market has shifted dramatically. (In cedar park)
  3. So the good news is 4 of the last 8 days was green? vs 2 of the previous 8?
  4. I dont think that is true - if you look at the S&P today you saw the market react from 12:30 to about 1:15 when Shumer said a deal was close, then when the senate voted and it failed the market went down. I still think when the deal is done we will see a pop (granted it might be short term).
  5. Got my 7 year old animal crossing, she is loving it so far.
  6. I am not telling anyone else to do it that is not comfortable with it. My post said "for those of us trying to stay the course". Of course any number of strategies might be better then others. My point was more once you pick one you should stick with it. Bouncing between different strategies is no strategy.
  7. Yes but if day 1 is -15% and days 2-30 are +1% each you still missed out. The point is you just don't know what is going to happen. I do get the point in having dry powder available, and if we all know for 100% certainty what was going to happen in the next week we would sell everything and buy puts.
  8. Thought this was a good read for those of us trying to stay the close and not time the market. 3 Charts that show why investors should stay the course
  9. Went ahead and closed those out today, 230% profit in less then 24 hours. Maybe I could have gotten more holding to next week but why get greedy.
  10. Glad you are getting her home, I am sure you cannot wait until Friday evening.
  11. Yeah I think so, Hilton sent out a note saying something about this but I did not pay that much attention to it.
  12. I bought some DIS call options @$90 expires 3/27. When I bought them the stock was at ~$80 and it closed at ~$89 so those options have doubled so far. If we get any sort of bounce tomorrow I will sell them and take the profits.
  13. I wonder if this matters? What kind of trades are still done on the floor anyway?
  14. While I dont think unemployment will get to 20% with the measures being proposed in congress. Yes, I do think the reason it would get to high numbers would matter as it would be a indicator on how fast it would reverse.
  15. Well expect the whole fundamental reason for the decline is completely different.
  16. I don't know - at this point there is not a lot more negative news left to come. We have shut most things down across the country and everyone is expecting to stay home for weeks. I think the market might be near the bottom now. If we get some good news from congress and we start making some medical progress I can see us stabilizing and starting to turn around in a few weeks.
  17. Do you have the offer code on that? I am only seeing 20% off on the website. I am willing to try this out. 90 day return policy and all.
  18. I have been thinking about the suffering alcoholic during this time. It’s going to be a rough few weeks but maybe some social distancing will help someone of thyme seek a solution.
  19. Disneyland closing until the end of the month. Hope no one was going for spring break.
  20. I am going to go over, 19k what time horizon are we talking? The next 30 days?
  21. I am doing the same thing starting Saturday. That would be my biggest concern but so far the US has only restricted traffic from heavily infected countries and so far Canada is not close to that. I suppose I will watch the news while I am there and if Canada has a spike or something we could come back early.
  22. Well then ended nicely. It is impossible to know what this market is going to do day to day.
