after getting hammered for the past month and seeing a slow uptick, is it a good time to buy? and if so what?
airlines? oil? some other hard hit sector?
or
avoid it all like the plague? lol- don't usually invest, but I have this dreadful FOMO hanging over my head like this is a chance in a lifetime, but i'm clueless._niko

- Having some experience, following the markets pretty closely, and listening to IMF and others, we're in for a global recession if not depression.mandomafioso
- lol Nairnutopian
- I'm all cash at the mo and def fomo'd the recent run up however it likely won't last. Poss better to wait til s&p tests bottom again, which many think it will.mandomafioso
- But what do I know? Maybe fed can print their way out of the problem. We're in uncharted territory.mandomafioso
- Is the recent upturn a dead cat bounce?Chimp
- This is a fake uptick, when the results are in (which is happening right now) it's going to be another sharp slide. Just my opinion...zarkonite
- Yeah, we haven't seen the bottom yet. Buy the best, make a list, diversify, ignore shiny objects.formed
- not a good time. Most companies need steady income to service their debts. if no revenue, bondholders will take over company making your stock a zero.monNom
- Fact: no one can predict the future. That said, buy buy buy!! or, wait wait wait a few weeks or monthsnb

invested in Gold in February when it was 300try per gram,right now it's close to 390try.
Gold rally combined with Try devaluation created 30% profit.I'm following silver now.
It's still at a reasonable price around $15.5
And it usually follows Gold during times of crisis.
Checkout what it did in 2011.
Consider this a medium to long term advice guys.
Right now there's a massive investor interest in silver that it's getting pretty hard to find Silver coins on spot markets.But what actually drives the price is the Industrial silver demand. China and Japan are the top Silver buyers for tech industry. When they start using their capacity again there will be a shortage of silver in the world since mines are shut down.

- Just crude oil. There will be written books about todaydrgs

- You get paid for buying oil? I know in some countries they had negative electricity prices, which I understand, but oil?drgs
- It is possible if there is a delay in how soon oil companies can adjust production to demand. Their storage is overfilled and they pay to get rid of oil?drgs
- apparently a lot of experts are scratching their heads about this too. there will be blood.sarahfailin
- If you buy it, The problem is storing the physical barrels. China is currently building massive storage facilities, also some companies building offshore.BH26

Technically it is only the futures oil markets that are negative. No one will sell you actual oil at a negative price.A futures contract is basically a contract between oil companies and oil refineries, where oil companies are selling their future oil (one month from now) and oil refineries are buying the right to buy this oil at a specific price, which is decided today.
So, if I run an oil refinery, and I buy a futures contract to buy oil at $20 one month from now, but the price goes down to $10, then obviously this was a mistake. But if the price goes up to $30 I've made a good deal. In any case, a futures contract gives certainty, or at least this is the idea.
There are two problems:
1) Most futures contracts are bought and sold by speculators, who don't know what to do with crude oil or where to store it.
2) A futures contract is >>an obligation<< to buy oil at a specific price, and it has an expiration date, ie. if you don't get rid of the contract before 21. April, you need to pay up and you will have oil barrels delivered to your home address.Coincidentally, today was the expiration day of April crude oil futures. Demand has collapsed since March and all speculators are desperately trying to get rid of their futures contracts which they bought one month ago, and even paying money to anyone willing to collect all that oil.
Tomorrow the situation will be completely different.

It has been a rough quarter for the US economy, with the country plunging into a pandemic-fueled recession. Yet the stock market is alive and kicking — in fact, it's having its best quarter in more than 20 years.
The Dow (INDU) recorded its best quarter since the first three months of 1987 with a 17.8% jump, while the S&P 500 (SPX) logged its best quarterly gain since the final three months of 1998, climbing 19.9%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP) lagged only slightly behind, with its best performance since the fourth quarter of 1999, soaring 30.6%.

Looks like a basically followed the market, should have just gone with an index fund LOL. It's gonna correct hard!
- Yeah, I think there will be a new bottom soon enough. The variable now will be how much the Fed/Congress pump into the economy.formed
- They just extended PPP until Aug 8th, so that pushes some things off. Unemployment will be next.formed
- Absolutely insane. The whole stock market is now Bitcoin.sarahfailin
- All its value exists because we say it does.sarahfailin

The Mystery of High Stock Prices
From the Department of Curiosities: On Tuesday, as the number of new coronavirus cases continued to spike to record levels, the stock market closed out its strongest quarter in more than two decades.
That was just one stop for the equity markets on a spring roller coaster ride, three months that saw the fastest 30 percent decline in stock prices in history, followed by the fastest 50-day increase on record.
This year’s volatility may be extreme, but it’s only the latest of many seeming disconnects between stocks and the economy. In March 2009, for example, while reported monthly job losses were topping 700,000, share prices abruptly ended their 17-month decline and began a recovery that essentially lasted until the virus arrived.
