Just sold AAL at 11 USD peak open, it's dropping now already

Sooooo. I've been holding cash waiting and waiting. Have I missed it??!

I'm in the same boat although it's not a huge pile of cash kind of afraid to jump in now in case there is another subsequent dip as others have alluded to. Might hold off for another week or 2 and see what way things are then as others have said the raise in prices of Ryanair makes no sense really when they can't fly at the moment but the market hasn't exactly been acting rationally throughout this crisis. So much for the EMH that I learned in college!

Btw I was just checking the VIX and it still is 44. Half if the very top in March (which was madness), but still very high (it hasn't been close to those levels since the GFC).

As long a we are above 20-25 I'm assuming we are still in rollercoaster mode.

I'm effectively even again, after the whole portfolio being down 24%-ish 2-3 weeks ago.
Cashing in my chips, (except the blue ones!), will re-buy in after easter

bilbot79

Well I just cashed out immediately and next thing you know prices started soaring. Doh. Still in profit though and happy as last time I had bought in too high

ELM327

Thats the thing, in order to rationally make money you sometimes miss the irrational ups (and downs).
I'm testing a binary logic and today was the right day to sell AAL under that logic. Same as it would have been to sell much anything else, had I not already sold (TSLA, Iron Mountain, Exxon, NCLH,BA etc)

Sorry to hear of your troubles MurDawg. Please excuse my ignorance on this, but would Luckin Coffee not be in a precarious position or is it a good punt at such a low price. Just trying to understand the risk based on this info of a possible pending lawsuit:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/luckin-coffee-lead-plaintiff-deadline-071600628.html

Buying at the low price it is at today? Hard to say - I would say get well away from this

It will take a long time to recover that trust it built. The total amount of the fraud exceeds RMB 2.2 billion, or roughly $310 million, and shares are down more than 80%

There were virtually no warning signs in advance - The amount of damages is still not known... Who's to know the fraud is limited to the COO. CEO and COO have a very long relationship here.

Not to mention the brand has taken a huge hit. There is a chance the company could go bust, but on the other hand Luckin Coffee is loved by the Chinese public, i could see the government get involved which would be huge.

China's coffee market should interest everyone - the growth in coffee consumption in China is the highest in the world. I

tell me about it, sold @11.25

I'm out this round.

Lex Luthor

I'll be honest, I can see much better bargains down the road from now in about 9-12 months so I'm staying well out and have some buy orders in but for ridiculously lower values than the current market price

This is short term and we'll probably see a lot more blood before any recovery

Not sure anyone can call the bottom. Just too many unknowns. Someone will be right and be proclaimed a genius. All I am doing is looking at companies I think have the balance sheet and market position to be strong on other side of all this. I can see arguments for further drops but I am only investing where I can take the hit and looking to hold for at least 5 years. I dont have the stomach or cash for trading in and out of positions in short timeframes.

voluntary

I keep ~95% of my stock/gambling money in cash and use the 5% to buy and sell as days go. When the time is right I'll step in heavier and will likely hold for long. Waiting is boring though so I keep trading small amounts, buy on local deeps, sell on local peaks. My long term goal is to enter more heavily when/if NASDAQ hits 5500 (60%) and then leave 30-40% cash for further purchases when/if stocks keep going down. The last thing anybody wants is to watch stock hitting record lows and not having any cash left to enter the opportunity.

Same, my portfolio is mainly* companies I believe are going to be worth more in 5 years time than they are today. There will undoubtedly be days they will be lower, but second guessing yourself you'll never make money. As someone said, "Time in the market is more important than timing the market"

For anyone who is into Fibonacci theory. It does look like Wall street hit the 50% retrace last month.

I have the 50% level at 2000 so it may indicate that the recovery is genuine ; the plateau in Italian and Spanish cases and the success of lockdown in other countries plus the 2 trillion injection has given the big guns confidence but its not over yet .

50% level for me is at 18000. With 61.8 level at 15500. This is where I would love to get in. Nothing to say it will get there though

Is Luckin bust, or trading frozen? No chart or movement today?

Didn't see anything myself either, a bunch of lawsuits though...so am assuming its been frozen...

Thankfully only got a small quantity of them.

Found a link on seeking alpha, which says trading halted until further news.

hard to see how banks can make money in this country for the next while , they are more or less being forced to act like a charity at the moment

Agree - but I'd go a far as saying in this monetary union, not just in this country. EZ banks will basically become branches of the ECB to implement its monetary easing and stimulus policies which are killing their profit margins and makes them increasingly dependant on central bank support.

I wouldn't touch any EZ bank, and probably very few banks in general (but my perspective is long term investment in companies I believe in, of course someone buying for short term speculation is another story and might make the right trades).
