I'm looking to get LOW today as well. The numbers weren't that bad at all

I was wondering if you still owned it.  It's the same ol same ol debt story in the oil patch.  OXY has some toxic financing.  The Warren Buffet loan shark deal looks real bad right now.  I think they were counting on $60 oil.  I think we all were.  They are in trouble if we visit $45 oil and sit there.  The flu could cause just that.  I was reading an article the other day.  If OXY ever does run, Buffet can execute those warrants and just keep on selling to get that part his money back.  In addition to the loan interest that I think is at 8 1/2%.   

LOW looks good but I'd want it just a little cheaper.  HD (the company) is going to keep outperforming them, but the spread in share price is probably excessive.  HD is gonna choke on all that debt when the economy turns.  Whatever year that is lol.
Yeah I actually sold OXY twice for a profit and I didn't want to take a my chances a 3rd time lol.

Today really is not a good day to buy. I don't like buying unless the market is down big. I just don't see 400 green holding and we still have downside left. Even with the the market dropping 3% we still are no where near over sold. Like really APPL up $9. Why lol?

I'm waiting on the 3 day rule before I buy LOW. Hoping for $110

The stocks I'm waiting to dip further are the ones that will be affected by China like MMM, UPS and SBUX. Just wait until the virus comes to the US. You haven't even seen panic yet lol.  I know the utilities are very over valued but they may be the ones who continue too see new highs. Tech is vulnerable right now and I'm just not ready to dip my toes in that sand yet lol

Look at that XOM is red again  Big Grin
Yeah I am sitting here just dying to buy.  I was tied up at work yesterday or I would have bought some industrials.  Who is that one guy that preaches "never do today what you wish you had done yesterday?"  Now I remember. that was me lol.  Keep an eye on me please and thank you.  I need to go find something constructive to do before I start forcing trades. 

And just so you know, oil jokes are in very poor taste here right now.  Sad   I feel sorry for those idiots that own XOM.  Luckily I own BP instead.  Oh wait, that didn't work much better lol.  You just gotta smile through this and try not to do the same dumbass stuff again. 

Yes, AAPL moves blow my mind.  Is yesterday's flu all better now?  It's just momo day traders and the algos.  I just hope the correction doesn't go much deeper.  Those clowns start getting forced to liquidate with margin calls and this gets worse for awhile.  Another down 1000 and I'd bet that starts happening.  I think we are safe for now.
Ha what did I tell You. That 400 point green is gone already. It happen like 5 min after I wrote lol. Looks like you can buy now.  Oh wait we may may close down 400-500 points now. To wait or not to wait. That is the question  Big Grin
Updated my last post.  Buy targets.  And you need to post the correction thread.   You are good about keeping your cool too lol.
This mornings run was a sucker rally as we suspected. The market is fighting to stop the bleeding though. The weekend is coming and that represents some short-term FLU news risk. I'm not buying 100 shares of anything. The Prez is going to hold a press conference tonight and everything will be fine. Does he even have a Health Secretary or did he fire him last week? Doesn't matter, the FED should have known to cut rates and stop the flu from spreading lol.

If today's gains don't hold it could get ugly at the end of the week. Have to think margin calls would be going out on Friday if we drop much further.

Say a prayer for the TSLA longs Eric.  Smile  We don't need it to crash this week.   I don't know the current margin rules.  Back in the day they contacted you the day after a crash.  Gave you about one more day to wire them some more money or they start selling your stuff at any price they can get.  Orderly pullbacks don't cause nearly as much trouble for market volatility.

Don't ask me how I know that. I was just a dumb kid. Smile
Hey Fenders did you get more RTN now. Its back on sale lol. I just added 15 shares at $201.15
SO XOM hasn't seen $53 since June of 2005. Crazy!

I should just buy some and hope we don't get to 2002 level of $35 lol

Anyone else feel like this is a bargain now? If you like MMM you mine as well own XOM right

Wow I have no idea regarding XOM. So 15 years later were back to the same levels. That is crazy!!

But unless oil is completely gone how can you not buy here now? This remind me when oil 10 years ago were all hotting new lows. Then they eventually became buy and they hit new 52 week high a few years later. If the dividends are safe this may be the buying opportunity of a lifetime  Big Grin

You paid $201, you got ripped off man!  I think I said my target was 200.  Kidding, here's what really happened.  I just spent the last 30 minutes entering 16 limit orders.  You'll recognize almost all the tickers when I post up what executed later.  I put them all in a couple bucks under market.  I'm kinda hoping the market dips and executes a few for me.  Probably not, so I'll go in 30 minutes before close and start flipping them to market orders.  Honeywell is my first priority.  It goes ex-div tomorrow. It will probably drop five bucks at the open but I'm getting my 90 cent div dammit.  Smile    

BTW, 16 trades = about $500-2000 per trade.  I'm not getting stupid.  I'm just too cashy.  Moving some more money for Friday.  Bet I don't catch the low today on anything, but I'll regret it if I do nothing.   It's just money right?  Smile

I'm looking at all my way profitable UTEs and thinking, "I could sell this UTE and buy some of that falling knife over there".  CSCO is getting the look from me too.  Trying to not do things like.  This isn't the great depression just yet lol. Smile

The next quarterly DIV is safe.  I highly recommend you buy 2 shares today.   That's not going away anytime soon.  We hate rich people like you lol.    Big Grin 

OK, not really but I'm running with this a little longer.
I had a busy close. Added RTN MET DAL LHX TGT IP ADM MDT LMT CAT HON MMM V CBRL MRK

Don't be too impressed. Half of these were 2 or 5 shares to bring a position up to a round number like 15 or 25 shares.I got in a lot of these way late and taking my time.

Only sizable purchases were RTN and HON which I intend to build to core positions.

I didnt get to grab that HON and LHX yesterday because the open was so crazy.
I'll try again later this week, probably on Friday.

All things being equal, HON may pull back a little ex-div.  I''ll add gain if it does.  better than overpaying for extra MMM shares.    I was OK with the price I paid, but I was hoping it might get closer to 165.  I believe some analysts have a hold on it due to valuation.  After the price drop I could see some upgrades coming if we recover from the flu, and the aviation manufacturers get their acts together at the same time.  That stuff has to be higher margin than their average products.

Speaking of MMM, it was doing it's thing yet again.  The market just can't lay off that stock.  It led the industrials higher during the fake morning rally yesterday.  That's how they get by with one weak quarterly report after another.  I realize it's 35%+ off it's high, but it took like six earnings misses to make that happen.  I'll keep nibbling, but it's not my top priority. The Corona isn't going to make the next report any better I suspect.  I saw an article recommending MMM because they are selling a lot of disposable surgical masks.  Well of course they are, but the company manufacturers tens of thousands of SKUs. Just wow to bad financial "analysis".
