RE: What Did You Buy Today? - kblake - 03-13-2020 OIL is going to the moon next week. Just watch. I just added 6 names in the after market. You heard it here first. Buy all you can!!

You heard it here first. Buy all you can!! I would love for you to be right on that I will say XOM wasn't even this low when oil was $10 a barrel way back when. You will do well in the sector in the long run. It will recover. If I had 100k lying around I would put in all in XOM over the next 3 years haha RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 03-13-2020 (03-13-2020, 04:49 PM)kblake Wrote: OIL is going to the moon next week.

Just kidding, I own plenty and hope you are right. I'm not selling yet because I'm an idiot, but next time I want to buy more oil I'm going to buy beer and lotto tickets instead. PS, good call on the market direction today..... not. And send my regards to your shortie friend vbin. Just having fun.

I just added 6 names in the after market. You heard it here first. Buy all you can!! I'm putting my entire port in SKT and FUN on Monday. Same chart as XOM so why not? P.S. My port is up enough today to buy a brand new truck. Too bad I lost two Beamer's earlier this week lol. Damn the last two weeks were rough. The market was less volatile during both world wars when like 10 million people died and that's no exaggeration.

Now that doesn't mean that oil never gets used.

Just put it on our deficit tab. Some other Prez can deal with it later. Oil will rebound to $40-45 by late summer. Not good enough for my failed oil investment thesis I once had. I'm the bear now lol.(03-13-2020, 12:53 PM)fenders53 Wrote: You are correct, $20 oil is definitely not sustainable. We need sustainable $50 oil. How is the gonna happen with your Corona/recession thesis? Majors were dropping like a rock well south of 50 a barrel. I no longer see a path. Only good for trading and a small gambling position. Admitting I made a mistake early enough is usually good for my portfolio's health. Had I bought a major at this weeks prices, all would be well, but I missed by months along with most every active poster here. I'm pretty confident in that statement.If trump really wants. He can do the same he did with China. Just put tarriffs on oil and boom overnight oil prices go to $50. U.s.a hardly has 20-30% oil surplus. What Did You Buy Today? - vbin - 03-13-2020 Oh and forgot to mention there are plans to increase the storage upto 1.5 billion. No idea where that is. Don't underestimate the govt. You cant fight with them. If they want they will bring the price to dirt or take it to moon RE: What Did You Buy Today? - vbin - 03-13-2020 (03-13-2020, 05:27 PM)fenders53 Wrote:I closed all my puts yesterday. 1 remaining which was opened at high today.

But we have a virus that is going to shut down the world according to many and cut demand several million barrels per day for many months. If you fill the reserve and then release it back to the market, you are now competing with the same market in a few months and just taking up part of supply. So I guess we'll watch oil prices and see if it raises prices $15+ so everyone is happy for more than a couple months. The oil futures will let us know very soon what is reality. It should spike up bigly if you are right. We'll know in just a few days after they run the actual math.(03-13-2020, 04:40 PM)fenders53 Wrote:U.S. has anywhere between 800 Million to a billion storage cap.

Just watch. I just added 6 names in the after market. You heard it here first. Buy all you can!! On a more serious note. There is nothing wrong with hedging. I was hedged with covered calls on most of my positions. That sure wore out quickly this time lol. Nothing works all the time or you'll go broke protecting yourself from going broke. Nobody told me the market was going to drop 7000pts. Well except maybe Armageddon Otter lol. If the market heads higher, which I don't actually expect, I'll hedge in some form. I have no idea if yesterday was the bottom, but no chance we are heading straight up soon. I highly suspect the last hour was a short squeeze. The whole world is short and that is a delicate situation when machines go nuts on short notice. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 03-13-2020 (03-13-2020, 07:21 PM)divmenow Wrote:I have a long position in FUN I purchased days too early before the free fall. I am going to trade it some too. I'm no high roller. My trades are small. FUN is a good trade for me for a couple reasons. I know the company well enough. It's not some random day trade ticker to me. And if I get stuck with some $20 shares, I guess I just averaged my long position way down and wait it out. The div is safe for a while if things get horrible. If I was paying closer attention I would have dumped my trading shares at the close today. It seems to have decent support just above 20 so I'll grab some more if I get another chance. If it blows through 20 for more than a few minutes something is probably wrong and I'll regroup.(03-13-2020, 05:37 PM)fenders53 Wrote:Man I thought we were done hearing about SKT once we got below $9 ....

I've been riding out this armageddon on a paradise island. It's been a blast: sea, sun, +1200m elevation hike to the top of a volcano, cheap beer, good food. Not a worry in the world! Unfortunately there are a million things going on with my life at the moment so I haven't had much time to keep up with the market properly. Thankfully I now have the weekend to sort out what I've actually done and what I should do next week haha. Also did something for the first time ever with stocks: I bought with a mobile app. I didn't have my laptop so I had to improvise! It's a pain but hey, I managed to add to RTN, TD, BIP and HON on Thursday. Dividend Dragon asked about buy levels. For me, I look at the S&P500. My plan says to make additional purchases when the S&P500 is trading around 2750 2600 2500 2425 2350 2000 I'm not actually sure if I got all of the 2600 level money in, I know I didn't get any of the 2500. So here is to hoping we go all the way to 2000! |
