Gyms, movie theaters, airlines and cruise companies will probably be the last

My thinking right now is restaurants. People in general may forego that expensive trip for awhile but will go out for a sit down dinner a few miles from home just to get out and away when this all blows over and employment starts to come back and they get that first full check. Just my thoughts though. I've been wrong before.

This one isn't for PE ratios but it's a great resource for dividends...

Speaking of great dividends I just bought KOL. 17% dividends. Wow.

Also bought USO. Oil won't get much cheaper than this.

Both longterm plays.

Yep. I've already staked my bets. Darden along with Texas Roadhouse, Bloomin Brands, and a handful of other well established casual dine in/carry out chains in the sector. I, like you am seeing a scenario where a considerable number of smaller offerings could go bankrupt. But my thinking is that a good number of the larger non pizza or fast food chains that are getting pounded right now are going to survive. I'm expecting a fair share of volatility and some short term losses until the market as a whole starts to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Like I mentioned , I've been wrong before. But that's the way I am seeing it.

I hated when TD bought Scottrade. I hope they create another Scottrade. It was the best and most concise online brokerage. TD Ameritrade was so ****ed up with too many bells and whistles and overkill.

I wanted to create my own simple layout and it was just a ****ing eyesore on what they made you have on your home page.

I have Wells Fargo now and it sucks, so far behind the times.

Now is not the time to get foolish. Let's talk about long term investing in sound companies. Here's my current list of positions I'm looking to add during this downturn for long term growth.

Johnson and Johnson
Visa
McDonald's
Apple
Catepillar (I question having this included)
Nike
Honeywell

Companies you'd add?

**Buehler445** · 04-01-2020, 09:28 PM

Why are you questioning Cat?

Are their financials bad?

**Buehler445** · 04-01-2020, 09:35 PM

I'd throw in:
Ardent Mills - ****asses are hoarding flour. Wheat price took a shit today. Things are looking up in the short term.

Probably Tyson and Con Agri. Packer margins are at record highs. After the ****ery lets loose they should figure it out.

The Mortgage Bankers Association in a dire letter to regulators Sunday warned that the U.S. housing market is “in danger of large-scale disruption,” due to efforts by the Federal Reserve that were intended to help rescue the mortgage market.

At issue are the Fed’s unprecedented $183 billion of purchases last week of mortgage-backed securities. The purchases were meant to drive down rates, and they did.

But together with the storm that gripped financial markets from the coronavirus, they also effectively blew up a widespread hedge that mortgage bankers use to protect themselves against rate increases. The hedge pays them if the prevailing rate in the market is higher than the mortgage rate they locked in with the customer.

Spoiler!

Aww hell. Nobody thought of that huh?

Speaking of hedges, I got out of my wheat spread and my hedges are all making money now.

I've had my trading account flagged as a PDT and I'm needing to meet margin requirement in order to do any additional trades.

So today has been fun.

3M is nicely priced and pays good dividends. Great long term hold.
