Purchased 90K worth of VOO, VTI and several other ETFs in the past two days. Another 240K sitting in the account ready to pull the trigger.

If the market dives again on a negative announcement regarding the stimulus, I'm buying more today. If the market dives more than another 15% overall and I run out, will be asking Schwab for margin.

Now is definitely the time to put together a proper setup to make out like bandits here. Its like the '08 dip (hopefully shorter term) I was too young to take advantage of all over again.

Seriously. I was going to take out mortgages on my rental property and personal property which are paid off but decided to cool my jets.

Do you have your eyes set on any individual stocks? Considering I'm working with about 1/10th of the capital you have, and am in my early 20's. I am considering BA, DIS, SBUX, BMWYY, RCL (maybe). Thoughts?

Would it be more beneficial to purchase ETF's in the long run?

Thanks for any input.

You guys... why would you buy something after two consecutive down days. And not a little down, 1500 down lol.

People are so worried about timing the bottom that they gonna burn on the way down.

People chill and watch the market, watch the vix. It's still not done. We only one week in and people are buying shit. At the very least this is going to be like this till May.

Then again I'm a stupid simpleton. Carry on!

New cases charts.

New cases will decline sooner rather than later. Agree with the comment above that there is time to get ready to buy, but get ready to buy.

As I am also a stupid simpleton, I do not know where the bottom is.
All I know is Id rather miss the bottom than the ride to the top.

Never laying around. I liquidated my CDs, took some money out of my savings and sold my M4CS so I could get into the market.

I am a conservative investor, and while the upside may be greater for an individual stock, so is the downside. I don't want to sweat bullets for the next year, so all I buy are ETFs.

I own, XLF, IVV, QQQ, VTI and VOO.

The only individual stock I own is Boeing which I bought into at $93/share, but it is an insignificant part of my portfolio. It's definitely a risky play and I think there may be some more bad news, but it is one of those too big to fail companies because it is such a significant defense contractor and the largest commercial airplane manufacturer in the world. We can't have only Airbus owning the market. Unsurprisingly, 737 manufacture restart is starting to see movement. Boeing's lobby is powerful, I'm sure calls were made to the Trump administration to tell the FAA to hurry it up.

Dear God I hope not My portfolio's value has gone up $200K+ since January 2020 and that includes pulling out $44K to buy my wife a 2020 4runner and not adding a penny to my investments other than the dividends. If you have been sitting out for the last 1.5 years, you really missed out.

We live in some of the oddest times I can ever recall... there really has been no real correction or crash. What we saw in March 2020 was extremely short lived.

2008 was so much different where cash was king... the only thing that can reverse anything at this point is an all out market crash which I don't really see happening.

However, find a way to outpace inflation because the idiotic policies that have been undertaken recently are ones that we will pay for in the next 30 years.
