Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Mr. McDowell]

Until they find a cure or vaccine or this just passes over naturally, nothing really changes if people can't go outside right?

Just trying to gauge when to expect a permanent upturn and take advantage of all these steep discounts. Seems like the money will just keep people able to pay their bills in the meantime- people and businesses.

The world's pharmaceutical community hasn't released a cure for anything since the creation of penicillin. We will receive a vaccine and/or treatment, but that's it.

There seems to be a lot of assumption in here that stocks will rebound quickly once this is all over and we will all go back to making money. That is a really bad assumption. We can go down another 20-30% easily from here and depending on conditions could take a while to get back to where we are today.

A combination of rising interest rates / inflation and taxes on corporations to pay for a bailout would be devastating for valuations. I understand getting excited about good companies trading at discounts but markets can look a lot different in a few years.

All of my investments are for the long term.


This is why people shouldn't be spending money they don't have.

I think most people are trying to get in for the long haul and ride stocks up over a number of years, not looking for flips. Getting things like Disney, Tesla, Uber (gamble) and even into some FAANG at a discount will pay off long term

I understand but where you buy is important and it's not a given stocks will give you a return over even the next ten years from today. Just advising some caution.

Look like Boeing is falling daily.

I'm about to pull up a chair and see how far it will fall.

There's always a risk when you invest into the stock market.

You shouldn't invest if you don't know the inherent risk.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

That's why I didn't go all in on Boeing. I got some but not a lot because there is some uncertainty.

Hope they go bankrupt, fukk em

I know, thats why I'm speaking to risks people might not be thinking about

Also, buybacks have been basically the main driver of the market in recent years. You're already seeing a big backlash about this so if there is a major move to limit buybacks going forward, you're going to lose a ton of future EPS growth. There is a significant possibility that we have seen a top in financial assets for the foreseeable future that people need to be thinking about when making investment decisions. Japanese and European equity markets have gone nowhere for decades. That can happen here under certain circumstances.

Ford stock is really low brehs but the news around it don't look good. Can i get to the 30s or 40s in the next year? Ford is of course part of American culture but it's look status.

may have to give this a pass. Do you have Wendy stock by chance? It's quite low now, but I really think it'll blow up.

Looks like shyt tbh but I'll take it at 3 a share for 10 shares and see what happens. Maybe this electrification shyt takes off because I am seeing a few people interested in that dumb ass mustang truck.

Product mix overall does scare me but I figure it's only $30 so whatever. I lost a lot more over the last week that will offset it on the upswing whenever it comes
