Performance Food Group might be one to watch as well.

I decided to just stick with Sysco. I feel it's a little more diversified + a decent dividend. A safer bet for me.

tbh, I bought some last month when they took the big dive.

FANG, EOG, PSX, VLO, RDS.B

I'm actually still up 2-3%. I wonder how it will look tomorrow?

Yeah, no idea. Never really looked into oil before. On one hand, the raw ingredient should be cheap to buy, but on the other hand every car, truck and plain are parked right now. CL=F crude future May is -18.65 right now, down over 200% on the day. Does this mean they are paying people to take crude now or what does this mean?

I suspect the airlines stocks are going to take a **** by the end of this week unless they delay earnings calls again.

Take a look at a chart of crude prices versus oil stocks in the past two months. Surprised how oil stocks have been holding up.

I felt I went too deep back in October-February. I had a lot of cash that I put into stocks immediately.

After these bounce backs, I decided to sell a lot and take cash.

I dipped my toe in the DraftKings waters.
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Unlimited Quantitative Easing ruined me. I thought "there's no way we keep going up, it's not possible with all the bad news." turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. 66% loses wrong.

Yea, I basically just increased my DCA on March 23rd. I thought that was our bear market entry point. I had no idea it would be a V shape recovery.

Not to say we can't go down again... But I def wish I used my cash on that date. I could have at least sold a few weeks later for significant profit.

Any tips on when to sell?

I got some holdings that I planned on holding for years; but they popped so much thanks to the "stay-at-home" stock hype. These names include DXCM (where I'm up 100% in just a few months), ETSY, OKTA, SE, DOCU. All of these are incredibly overvalued.

I was thinking of just cutting it down middle; and sell half now and hold onto the other half.

It is educated guessing what will happen when it comes to the stock market and things are often out of our control, especially during volatility.

I was shorting the market the first half of February (due to COVID) and the market kept going up. I wished I hadn't given up!

I'm not a market timer, and not close to a stock expert, and am not changing my investment strategy one iota due to this situation.

That said, I don't see any way that the worst is behind us. I think we are going to be a in a cycle of locked down, opened up, locked down, opened up, for a longggggg time until we find a successful treatment or vaccine. The negative economic consequences of this will be huge.

I would legit still stick with fuel cell. They are partnered with Exxon and Toyota. They are working on a hydrogen city in Japan. It is still a great buy. Very undervalued (think rookie Giannis). Legit could see this going hella big. They have carbon capture tech that produces energy that can be sold to oil companies and is an untapped source of revenue for them. Big reason why Exxon partnered with them. They had horrible management and sh#t canned them. Brought in Jason Few worked for Marathon oil back in the day and dude has been lights out so far. They may also have the opportunity to do a crap ton of work out in California with PG&E if the make their time lines less stringent. There is even potential for them to eventually be bought out by one of the bigger guys, and that would shoot the stock up as well. They will likely turn a nice profit this upcoming quarter causing the stock to shoot up. They have re-occuring revenue on their fuel cells, and have some of the longest lasting fuel cells out there. It may go down in price test closer to $2 if the bears get worried, or the market backtracks. I could see this being a $20 to $50+ stock with its potential and the way the world is going with the green initiative.

I just started to mess with a few penny stocks.. Buy them low and flip them sell high buy low. Zom Ensv Trnx....(these are typically pump and dump stocks) Make a few hundred and put that money into better more stable stocks, Fcel the main one.


I also buy stocks at lows.... Disney @ $89 Haliburton which was at $20+ not long ago. $6ish range
Bought Sea world under $9

All recent.

Basically, Better companies higher risk higher reward. Companies that covid screwed with that will likely bounce back if things settle down.. They may, or may not.

I Bought Spce cheapish... Kind of Tesla like in the way that it is overvalued, but people love it.

Nicola Vectolq Hydrogen car company and In the business of Hydrogen fuel stations

I just I try to research and follow the stocks nd determine market value... see what is happening with them. I read up on them a lot and take calculated risks. Some money I allot to longshot go big or go home stocks.

I messed up big time last week. I was trying to buy canntrust when it went to .03... but didn't have a platform to purchase it... I signed up for Ameritrade and had to wait for money to clear... took too damn long and I missed out. So bummed. Up to .50 today.
I got burned when it was delisted, tried to make it up by buying it low, and it sucked. Between that and the Packers draft I have been a crank ass all weekend.

It was like a winning lotto ticket going through the wash.


One other boom or bust stock is hysr... I am going to buy 1,000,000 share and sit on it. I currently only have 35,000 Waiting for my commission check to come in. It is a unique solar company that uses sunlight and water to create energy. Stock is valued at like .0052 cents. This one is way more risky than fuel cell, but it could be a decent stock to work with even if it goes up a couple cents, you could make hella bank. Live on your own island kind of stock if it does well... Or you lose a few grand and lick your wounds.

Also, (Umbilical cord) Stem cell companies... I was just looking into those recently and they are booming... I got to them about a week late. Some up 150% last week. Waiting and hoping they go down some.
