Yeah, I bought quite a bit of LUV and AAL at the beginning of COVID with hopes of a substantial rebound when it was all over. I sold them both last month for relatively no gain or loss at all.

people have different opinions but one of my favorites is VOO with only 0.03% fees. not zero but very close and has historically been one of the best investments long term to just forget about. I think the total market are great too. To keep it simple depending on age and portfolio amount 25% each in total market, s&p 500, nasdaq & some other fund you like wouldn't be bad. lots of ways to skin a cat but you really can't go wrong with zero/low cost s&p, nasdaq and total market funds for simplicity

Also, forgive me if I already asked and we discussed this recently, but with HYSA interest rates being so high at the moment, have you dabbled in any of those in lieu of parking that cash in a CD? I’ve been using CapitalOne’s HYSA and getting 4.3%. Admittedly, I could have found others at 5%+ but went with CapOne because of familiarity. I just wonder what are the pros to going CD over HYSA at a time like this. |

For my S&P 500 I use VOO for brokerage and IRA, and FXAIX within my workplace savings. I keep those separate from my, hey I think I’m a good trader play funds. That way I get to see how shit I am against the market.

I've parked a little money in a HYSA at my local bank for cash that I need relatively soon. Or maybe not. It's called a "timed deposit account". I don't know if that's the same thing or not.

I'm not a big fan of total market funds because there are some real shitbag companies out there. S&P does an excellent job of sorting off ****hole companies if they shit the bed. It is a pretty good screener. And that's why it has historically outperformed the total index funds. It's not perfect. There is a lot of weight in tech (which might be overheated), and has almost all large cap stocks. But if you're going to put all your shit in one investment mine would be S&P. The one I use is VOO because I think the cheapest fees. I was shocked at how many of them there are. I ran across this video that kind of points out the differences in some of them, and it may provide some value if you are looking at the S&P. |

Today was sure a swing. I took a look this morning and we were up notably, and then I looked at the end of the day and the village was smoking ruins with bodies strewn in the street.

I've had a lot of **** ups in the options market but today I finally settled for tripling my money with AMZN call options that I bought yesterday and sold today as it closed in on it's high. I usually get greedy and not only lose all my profit but my original investment.
Had 25 of the $182.50 calls that expire this Friday with a cost basis of $76.63 (.76) and sold for $247 (2.47) Tomorrow there could be a big move after the jobs report at 8:30am Eastern time. Looking at the QQQ options. Bought some more BDN REIT for dividends. Over 15% yield. Dividend was recently cut so I think it's safe for the short term.

I had a decent sized (for me) market order for the open on some stuff. So of course it cratered. |

I've had 50 or so shares of BDN for awhile. I had to shut the DRIP off because the price keeps getting whipped like a rented mule. That's why the dividend yield is so high. Might be a good time to get in... I mean the price can't (shouldn't) go negative. EDIT: Hogfarmer's MAIN stock for dividends has performed really well for me. Some of it may have been the bounceback after the banking scare, but it was a really good performer for me. |

Checked back later in the day and immediately stopped wishing I held those calls or I would have had a worse day. WTF happened? |
