COVID-19 investment opportunities?

mecheng77 · 03-16-2020, 08:00 AM

As the title suggests, any buying opportunities?
I'm a 'couch potatoe' investor I have index mutual funds and some stock picks but I'm willing to get more savvy. I've heard of shorting and such. Please suggest some options. I'm not selling anything I have and still believe in long term investing so don't panic people. Thanks

Yeah, just assume it sucks. I lost 20% of the value so far in my US equity fund. Don't even want to look today.

Wife and I were just talking about this. We made a nice chunk of change off of tvix but have gotten out. Plan to buy in to some stuff once this calms down. May just throw it in a s&p etf. Maybe the travel industry, minus cruise industry? Could be pretty risky.

OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impressive! Wow!

Currently in HUV and unsure whether to take the win and get out. Maybe one more day?

Currently I'm way down on oil ETF bull (but bought some more).

Currently up on oil ETF bear (but unsure when to sell just yet).

Hey, that would be a good one! Especially when they come to an agreement again plus the end to the virus. Oil is a sure bet. People will most likely go hog wild after this, just wonder how much traveling people will do since they may be gun shy.

I am serious. I just listed my car to fund this opportunity, if no one wants to be a part of it, I will go it alone.
I've never been as sure about something as I am about this.

Post it here.

All: Even if it is general advice, post it. Yes your stocks are down, don't sell them, this will pass just like Zika, Ebola, Swine Flue.

I’ve been going back and forth on whether to sell or keep our company’s stock. Was $60 higher 2 weeks ago but I decided to hold as it was over $300 a share 2 weeks prior. At this point I think I will just keep holding it until this blows over. Could be longer than a few weeks or months.

Gold?

I dunno I'm just going to keep adding money to my wealthfront and some of the ETFs I own and call it a day. Maybe I'll throw a couple bucks here and there at some single stocks, but I don't really care to trade single stocks anymore.

Who is the clown who thought it would be a good idea to drop int rates further?
