I had a short position at 1760. BTC far too early and not nearly enough shares.

Wow. TSLA went ~14.5% green today down to (current) -2% in the red !

I had quite a few DAL shares on an order this morning at $25.30 ps. Chickened out of the execute button. It's currently $27.20. That's nearly 7% missed on a day trade. Can't complain though, as I have made 5 figures doing the same over the last month. Long term, I also see the airlines as win...

Laughs in Steve Jobs

I’m on my second Discovery 4 (LR4). First was a 2013 that I owned for 5 years in the Middle East and beat the piss out of it. Dune bashing, you name it. Nothing more than consumable parts replaced. It was an absolute gem. Now I’ve moved to the UK and bought a top spec 2016 Discovery 4 HSE/LUX...

Volvo has consistently been at the bottom of the reliability list for a while. Be mindful. ...coming from the guy driving his second Land Rover

This is true, but lending requirements have tightened up since covid. I think they will be happy with what they can get. It's a buyer's market out there, on top of the fact he's interested in their least selling model, the Discovery.

I would negotiate harder. They are all feeling the pinch with the lack of covid sales. Worst they say is no. You're on the right track with a nationwide hunt!

Especially the new Discovery. It’s by far their worst selling model.

I think the investment windows are the key question. Tech is massively overbought. Amazon (AMZN) trading at a PE of 130? It's had a lot of stay-at-home sales, but will likely taper off once everything dies down with coronavirus. A solidly managed airline like Delta (DAL)? Trading at a PE of 5...

I think Q2 earnings and Q3 projections will spook a lot of investors. We are merely a week away from the beginning of earnings season. As much as I want to buy dips today, I think we are in for better value buys come July.

Trading call options has potential unlimited losses. People really shouldn't fuck around with options unless they really know WTF they are doing. Jumping into options trading during these highly volatile markets can make or break the bank. Probably not the best time to tread into the waters to...

Any new news? Looking for some tips.

I jumped in with DAL today. Worth a punt.

Problem with that logic is always you would have always taken profits a long time ago. I had FB at $28 per , sold at 40% profit.. then again at $90 and sold for another 30% profit.. it’s worth $236 today. I doubt many would have held for the whole duration.

DAL more than doubled since Thursday. Crazy

$30 pre-market. Big swings

Buy a boat and bug out like the rest of the elites

For sure, I typically don’t try and time markets. But there were very clear signals of what was to come out of China in late January / early February while markets sat near all-time highs. I’m still in the green on that despite not rotating from bonds back into equities as of yet. Those that...

I get the shoulda, woulda, coulda.. truth is, this was a black swan event that no one really could predict. When I saw something crazy like 80% of Chinese ports were closed off back in late Jan / early Feb, that was enough for me to know there would be a knock on supply side effect. Selling Feb...

Ok, advice for this guy here, who has been too skeptical to buy back in? Sold Feb 11th, feeling proud of missing the big hit.. but never felt confident enough to pull the trigger to buy back in. At current valuations, I see far more downside risk vs upside potential. Trying to avoid buying with...

Having owned two X5s and two Discovery 4's (LR4), they are completely different vehicles and I wouldn't lump them together. The BMWs were blisteringly quick (twin turbo V8 version) and well composed on the road. Completely useless offroad. BMW infotainment system should be the industry gold...

Not to mention NY is the biggest international hub on the East coast. How long were we allowing unrestricted international flights from everywhere imaginable on the planet? Of course they are going to have one of the highest rates of infection early on.

There’s also this. Moderna CEO has been selling shares like crazy.

Not necessarily knowing what SEC Form 3 was, I looked it up. I only see this as a good thing? With the big stock bump, it helps track insider trading of shares. If they were hyping for inflating the stock price to cash out.. this would be the heads up that something was fishy. At least, that's...

$5 says those 4 workers have been dealing with their Karen wives and just want out of the house!

WFH is here to stay. I have friends in finance in London and despite the call back to work by the Prime Minister, both of their firms have stated that employees are welcome to WFH for the rest of the year. I know from a business perspective, the cost of a desk at a firm like Goldman's, JPM, MS...

@Blazin IS the algorithm

https://www.wsj.com/articles/factories-close-for-good-as-coronavirus-cuts-demand-11589122800?mod=hp_lead_pos3 More bad news? Judging by the past few weeks, this simply means another move in the green for markets tomorrow.

You value V? Credit defaults are spiking with credit card debt defaults in the lead. I'd think V (as well as others) have significant risk in this environment / unemployment numbers.

IIRC, Amazon restricted FBA sellers and prioritising "essential" items, delaying regular orders. I think France had Amazon sales halted altogether. FBA sales (3rd party sellers) typically relied on cheap goods from China (Alibaba etc) to re-list on Amazon. China had been shut down for months...

Regarding gold..

The advice that you need 2m to invest in individual stocks is dubious at best.. Grossly unprofessional and ignorant at worse.

This is insane.

Headline on Bloomberg was all about Trump comparing C19 deaths in the coming weeks to world wars. Whether true or not, those headlines have spooked markets over the last month. Tomorrow could be bloody.. Or, as @Sanrith Descartes said.. Just "the new normal" world we live in.

I'm not government and it didn't take rocket surgery to figure out a massive supply shock was coming when China was completely shut down. Didn't image it would get this bad, but here we are. Still trying to figure out a bottom..I don't think we are even close.

This is why they have had to close big parks like this in France and the UK. At the start of the quarantine, people just ran off to the beautiful sites and parks like it was a vacation weekend away. Places were swarming with people and inundating the rural local communities. Hell, I know weeks...
