I also learned something today. If a stock closes at, say, $50 that doesnt mean you can buy it at $50 through when the market opens the next day. Because trading goes on beyond the markets hours, you have no real way of knowing what value said stock has. Enter ask and bid prices. You can only buy the stock at the bid price which is different than what the stock closed at.

Set a limit buy order and head to bed, it will be the maximum amount you are willing to buy a stock for. Allows you to sleep and not get gouged with a market sale on an overnight order.

Should people start investing in baby-related stocks? Just seems like we'll be having a boom in about 9-10 months, is all.

Most of these are already going to be monopolized into larger companies I think.

Ive seen variations on that joke and I dont get it

Youre not supposed to be out hooking up, youre supposed to be doing the opposite of that.

And married couples mostly would have been home together anyway
---

So big news about the fed cutting interst rate again and pumping more money into the stock market

I have no idea if it's good or bad
I mean...it's supposed to be good but it's also a step taken in a panic and last time...it didn't go so well
Futures are up in a few minutes so we will see

I know a week or two ago they said mid march the fed was expected to cut the interest rate a full % to 0 due to the virus.

All signs pointing to pretty big fall tomorrow. Everyone is starting to accept just how much we are going to have to shut down.

---

Down 2200 points. Jeez.

Stock market is gonna go sub 20k today it seems.

---

I predicted 20k this week, but I didn't think we'd get the whole pie on Monday. Today will wind up being the second or third largest % drop in history.

Time to buy Microsoft!

Trump said the word recession on live TV. Markets are going to fucking tank.

They revealed the Xbox specs today! Looks sick! Hopefully I still have a job to be able to buy one!

Alrdy are dude. Almost at the shut off point.

They already lost 12% and the markets are still tanking. No buying yet. They havent yet lost their year to year gains even. Plenty left to fall.

---

My company lost 20% today and is down from like $26 to $7 right now from year to date.

---

Yeah maybe but I don't mind buying at not peak just because it is free money. I don't want to pay too much attention to the stock market in my day to day life. I am pretty sure that buying at this price will net a very good profit in 10 years.

Buy weed stocks, they've gotten absolutely hammered.

Or just buy weed!

If anyone is serious about investing in airline stocks before the eventual recovery, look at Spirit. They were sitting above $40 a month ago and are under $12 now.

---

Isn't there a realistic chance that some of the airlines are going to go under if keeps up for too long?

---

Yes - it's a good example why trying to pick and choose individual stocks is referred to as "speculation" versus investment. The smart money is always proper diversification of assets, but that's not nearly as fun as gambling.

Yeah but then you own stock in literal Spirit Airlines

---

Made some dough on MRNA.

---

Also, if you want a great speculation investment - check out FANG (Diamondback Energy). They were comfortable in the 80-100 range before dropping all the way down to 23. So if you believe that company will rebound that's an opportunity.

---

Why did they drop so dramatically? Beyond the CV.

I just stocked up on Disney.

That's the only conceivable reason.

---

Disneys share price is too high for my tastes. Would take a while to make significant gains, I reckon.

It was at 150 before Corona happened, and if you believe in Disney+ in the future.

I don't believe in Disney+. Everyone who has it says there is really no benefit for he service after watching the mandalorian. And now they are delaying production of all new shows due to the virus.

Yeah but they have so much lined up. Get it while it's down.

For the record almost all of my money is going to go into ETF's or no fee MF's.

The smaller investments are mostly gambling(You wont lose as much as you do gambling though). And sticking with things long term you will almost certainly end up not losing money(you will fall behind inflation possibly.


---

I buy ETFs with my Vanguard account. Almost everything else is on Robinhood.

---

What is the advantage to Robinhood over Vanguard when it comes to stock buying and selling?

Robinhood is easier for me to trade, since I have my phone on me at all times pretty much. I'm always checking on stocks that I have or have interest in. Where as Vanguard is just buy and forget.

---

I have Vanguard on my phone. I use iPhone stocks (whatever the default is) to check it. Then trade with vVanguard. I assume Robinhood has all-in-one features and presumably tells you real time what youre up or down?

I just don't like Vanguards layout at all.

---

Yeah its pretty clunky.

Futures just tanked 3% since my last post. Barely in the green now. I wish I understood how the futures operates hours wise.

---

I think you cant trade 2-6:15am EDT


---

My big stock for all of this was Clorox fwiw. Im actually up

---

Nice pick, I wouldnt have thought of that.

Ive been monitoring the same five pharma stocks for the past few weeks. There is absolutely zero rhyme or reason to their performances. Not once have they all been up or all been down. Some are up one day, then another some will be up, or another down, etc. etc.

INO
GNMK
NVAX
AGRX
AYTU

Complete crapshoots. Though probability-wise, if you invested in all five them each day and cut ties once they went red, youd be golden. Reset next day. Because when theyre green, theyre green by a lot more than what theyre at when red.

I wish I had disposable money to get rich like yinz. = (

---

All you have to do is take out a loan, put all of it into one volatile stock, and if its red that day then take it out and put it back in the next day. Eventually itll be green and youll be golden.....

Yeah, knowing my luck this is how I end up being devastated in debt and offing myself.

---

You go where the news is: INO has a class action lawsuit or something last I checked. I made out like a bandit lol. Moderna started testing, which is why its up.

AGRX is a buy and hold for the future. GNMK is one to sell as soon as you make a profit since it was a speculation for the test kits.
