Unreal, I was in for 2:06 LOL
Only way I'm making money for the most part.
Has to be the same for everyone. If you aren't trading in some form you are just watching your port melt-down not so slowly. I'm afraid it's going to scare a generation away from investing in equities and that's not good for a number of reasons.
Looks like the stimulus bill may take a few more days. They don't have much time, but it's a huge amount of money so they need to get it approximately right. Probably should have broken it up into stages as this isn't likely the last of it anyway.

Well.
I added to fender's favourite, Red Eléctrica de España.
Also added to HON.
And initiated a position in PFE.
Those 3 purchases have an average yield of a little over 5%. I can live with that.

And the beatings continue..... I almost posted something crazy an hour ago like the markets have a chance of being at least flat for a couple days. Lots of financial stimulus news expected and we'll see if it helps. The unemployment numbers at the end of the week will be epic and likely kill any chance of calm returning for more than a day or two.

Refer to me as "Ute Dawg" from now on please.
I may add a few shares today but not much. Probably back to option selling tricks closer to Friday.

I'm getting close to buying more BRK.B -- thoughts? I bought it last in 2015 / 2016 in the 120s and 130s, and I hate to average up with today's prices of $162. But I suspect given the ocean of cash they are sitting on and the bargains available to them, today's price may be an even better deal than back then.

Completely agree and plan to add more myself by the end of the month.

Sounds like a good plan Kerim. I'd try to learn to worry a LOT less about what a stock cost 3 or 5 years ago on whatever random day you happened to buy it. It's completely irrelevant. I've purchased MSFT shares for less than $20. Should I wait for that so I know it's OK to buy again? I know that's a ridiculous example, just making a point. It's about current valuation, and where we think the future lies.
