Bought some Norwegian cruise lines today lol..feelin Riskay...

Also been looking at American Tower a REIT that deals with telecom infrastructure

That was some fucked up swing today with SPY.

thoughts on boeing?

Gambled on Hertz today.

long term hold i'm assuming?

what do you think their business in the coming years will look like with the decrease in tourism?

I dunno about you guys, but for travel I'm going to be more prone to renting cars now instead of getting on packed trains/buses wherever possible.

i think once the world goes back to normal i'm just going to travel as normal too.. hate to say it but i don't think even a pandemic is going to change my behavior very much. i'll prob just wait it out until i really feel that things are fine though. no travelling this winter for the first time in at least 6 years, but prob wait till next winter to go on a big trip assuming the coast is clear by then.

Look at SARS, people went back to normal and one thing is certain, Asia really embraced mask during COVID. In Western culture now, we will embrace mask / wearing of mask now for sure.

I don't see travel being normal until end of the year; I'm not going to risk my vacation if they implement a 14 days quarantine. How the heck am I going to go back to work if I am forced to stay home (or upon arrival at the destination country).

Bankrupt now.. hope it wasn't a big gamble

For anyone going to long in this situation, here is something I have to share.

It's something I wrote to my family members (we share a relatively small investment fund and each invest another portion on our own interest. But we always share notes as part of our group learning), I did my best to translate to English, so, bare with me for anything incoherent.

Watch out for the FOMO effect:

I believe that the last bull run, the longest ever for as long as I'm alive helped many to amass a sizeable investment fund (relative to each financial) and every single "analyst" out there have been calling for THE correction for the last 2-3years didn't help either.

Thus, we are seeing some very irrational events in the market. The big drop from record high was ok... that was the correction to the recent events. However, what happened AFTER that was NOT normal market behaviour. The market simply doesn't go from up 6% today to dropping 8% the other and up again 5% all within a span of less than a few trading sessions.

This clearly shows me that everyone, including the janitor in my building are trying to bet on the next bull run, where in fact, we have no idea whatsoever what's going to happen. That's why we see such a volatility on the slightest of news. Because even the slightest of good news attracts all these casual investors to pour their money into the market because they are afraid of losing out on the opportunity and the stock reacts little to bad news.

Thus, I think everyone should care less about the news coming out every day and focus more on fundamental valuations, future expectations as well as financials. This is the only way that I think making sense currently in the time we are in.

And remember, if the next bull run is as long and as big as the one we had last time, the difference that makes between buying in march 2009 (roughly the lowest overall) vs. December 2009 was only about 5% if you sold it in Jan 2020. However, the additional risk that you had to take between Jan 2009-Mar2009 vs. 9-12mth later was exponentially higher. The extra risk is NOT worth it at all in my opinion.

Is there a stock that for the volatility of the market? I know there is VIX but it's not something you can buy.

In addition, is there a stock/ETF that shorts the DOW/S&P?

Basically don’t buy bullshit companies.

Man the amount of wealth that has probably been gained in the last few months by the people with the money must be staggering. Like honestly even as an amature investor the opportunities were there. Take my stupid Norwegian Cruise lines for example

The BASIC fundamentals looked fine, good asset vs lability etc

I purchased at 11, it hit 17 today. Imagine if you had a couple mill to toss in on that ride and I’m sure opportunities like that are all over the place

VXX,TVIX,UVXY are some that I can name off the top of my head. I went short on VXX and it BARELY paid out even with SPY reaching 3 month highs.


Anyone see the monster rally from Hertz? up more than 100%. Very tempted to short but the pumping on this one is pretty strong

SPY Puts

This is where a trader prevail vs an investor. Look a few post back at Ramon's HTZ bet and the follow post questioning it because of bankruptcy.

Current enviornment has alot of opportunity for trader with a healthy appetite on risk

ya but i think he got in around the $3 mark?

the rally speedstars is referring i guessing is the $.50 to $1.3


and ya looking back, if you had the smarts to buy in at the end of april, holy shit money could have been made like crazy

i saw something along the lines that the heirs to walmark each made like $2B in the last couple months

Anyone following retail? Every single day as of May 15 has been green for Aritzia. They're at like 80% of pre Covid price now. Think it's too late to get in.

Hertz wasn't me, it was Harvey.

Both Aritzia and Lululemon have been up quite a bit in the last few weeks.

The rally on Lulu has been insane. Doubled from the covid dip and up 50pts from it's previous ATHs. Saw it when it was in the low 200s in April and definitely did not expect it to surpass pre covid #s.

Thoughts on casino stocks? I have a feeling they're going to do well.

Markets are so fucking rigged its digusting.

I was too puss to make any plays this week. SPY back to almost all time highs and Boeing up 13% in ONE DAY!

Still waiting for the bull trap to happen :derp:
