Is it Oochie Wally Wally or is it One Mic?:huhldup::scusthov:

Janet Yellen's quote was taken out of context.

“I think a ‘V’ is possible,” former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told CNBC on Monday, “but I am worried that the outcome will be worse, and it really depends to my mind on just how much damage is done during the time the economy is shut down in the way it is now.”

Why the chances for a 'V'-shaped economic recovery are getting less likely by the day

i was watching it live and she didn't really offer much insight or say anything at all. just a lazy safe answer to not freak ppl out or give them false hope.

what plays would you guys recommend for a long term investment, say like 5 years

Some easy ones are:
Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Cisco, Intel, Salesforce, Pepsi, JPM, JNJ, Starbucks, Visa/Mastercard/Amex, Lockheed Martin, Nike

I like blue chip names / industry leaders and if they pay dividends even better

Some more speculative plays I'm making involve names like Beyond Meat and Uber...I'm still debating airlines and hotels

"the past the past the past the past..."

That's not analysis when you factor in nothing like this has ever happened before. He asked the guy okay when. He didn't have an answer and he also wasn't confident that it will drop below 18.5k.

But sure... keep waiting to "time the market"... it's impossible to do.

dis
Uber
Starbucks
Eri

No, we wouldn't mind if it did test the lows again. If you are concerned about some quick cash then you could have sold last week or you could sell right now after a +1600

I'm fine if they test the lows.

What I'm saying is it's impossible to time it unless you get lucky and it's not worth it to sit on the sidelines the entire time either. If someone is still sitting on the sidelines after these two weeks then I have to question the logic while money is being lost.

But like ya been saying all along. People can’t really predict any of this. The way some get rich off this is cuz they had larger money to play with and got “lucky”. I wish honestly I got into this type of stuff 10 years ago but it’s a start now and ten years later I’m hoping to have 6 figures off this shyt at least. I will be straight with that. I saw somebody on YouTube doing there portfolio from scratch for 100,000. I would be good with that. I think I need to learn throwing 200, 300 every pay check into something might not be a bad idea if there is some type of dip... I came into this automatically trying to turn 1k into 5k in like less than a year.. I’m bugging.
let's put it this way. warren buffet has like yearly ROI of 20%, which is really, really good.

turning 1k into 5k is 500% ROI. long-term investment implies you have some capital to invest. don't invest (or gamble) rent money. if this was relatively easy, don't you think everyone would be doing this ?

depends on whether you want to invest long term or gamble trade and make profits off gains. gamble trading is like gambling with limited information. and most of the time, you aren't going to be having that information to make informed decisions. so you just sheep it out and follow some analyst. sometimes you hit the red and sometimes you hit the black.

penny stock trading is gambling with clear negative EV....unless youre somehow really, really, really good with timing and sniffing out early pumps. or are in cahoots with the pumpers (in which case you have FTC to worry about). make a lot of money on a lucky swing or lose everything when youre dumped on... which will be more often than not because of how pyramids work and the fact that by the time an average person with no connections hears about a pump, they're on the wrong side of the pyramid.

Stocks that were at $5 two weeks ago have doubled and tripled up, this market isn't any regular market. People should be smart about it and read and try to learn as much as they can but they should not just go sit on the sidelines, there's money to be made.

I honestly don’t mind long term. Although I probably would have sold it all today because I keep thinking and wanting for this market to hit rock bottom and come off more. We shall see. Thanks for all the input on everyone. I read all ya shyt and been watching the news more and YouTube videos. I won’t front, I do think buffet sold that delta to be on the low low so I’m thinking of going in even if I gotta wait till 2021. Thikkknf of even chancing with amc and frontier. Lol

As long as you ain't spending money you don't have, I'd suggest people get in where they fit in. My whole portfolio could crash to zero tomorrow and I'd be good, don't blow all your money out here.

But also I only invest in major companies :manny:
