You could allocate everything to low-risk in the profolio right now to avoid and then get back in at a time you feel comfortable. Wish I did that in February while I was up something crazy like 60k .... looking hindsight could have switched everything to CDs, Blue Chips and bonds and then get back in next year after elections.Or Now lol

Burn futures!

(I got a bonus, putting $3k in this morning )

 

not cool

 

I hate putting money in on up days, even though it doesn't matter in the end. I feel better when it's on down days!

 

Let’s do like yesterday then. You have 2 hours to get the money in, then we are going up

Unless we want to pretend these historic losses in retail sales are so shocking. People didn’t buy clothes and furniture and didn’t go to restaurants? Who knew.

 

I will be buying more shares of O and FRT (both retail REITs). Also some other retail (more staples though). I see this as an opportunity, not a disaster. Or maybe both, but still an opportunity.

 

I've said before the market reacts to surprises more than just bad numbers, but I guess I'm being proven wrong today.

I don't know - bad futures, it's a Friday, maybe it'll turn positive? Maybe flat?

 

I'm buying more NRGU or back into MITI.

I''m leaning toward NRGU with the rising prices of crude, but if MITI jumps, it will be yuuuugggeee.

 

I am buying oil bigly, but the big players only like CVX and XOM. And ENB for pipelines.

 

That's why I like NRGU.

 

It’s been years since I’ve been to jcp’s ...do they have a tool section like sears?

 

I don't think they do, at least not like Sears.

I assume you know they halted trading this morning pending a bankruptcy announcement.

 

No.

 

Didn't know they were still in business.

 

Sears or JCP? lol
Both still are, Sears has been on the cuff for many years. I think JCP may be in some serious trouble now though.

 

Lowe's and Ace both sell Craftsman, so there's no reason to ever shop at Sears these days.

 

Brick and Mortar retail is in serious trouble in general.

I just picked up 15 shares of TECL. With all the talk in the market news about tech stocks being so overvalued I figured it's bound to go up. lol

The chart actually looked good this morning too.

 

Retail sales were down 16% in April. Who would have thought millions losing jobs and shutting cities down would impact sales...
