Nice goalposts there on 11/10 and 2/15...

October 240/280 spreads are 2.2ish

Ya. I'm actually eyeing the October $250 calls. Goal is to get them for $1.10 or less. I see DEO coming down to $197. So I might start layering in.

If that happens to be merely the first move down and there's a deeper one on the near horizon, I will just double my position barring a huge blow up of this setup.

I'm in on October $250's. Mental stop at last Thursday's bottom.

$KRO up over 8% this morning. Yeah!

$KRO ended up 11.3%.

$KRO up another 8% today!
I only have 19 shares, but I am happy.

For DEO, the immediate bullish setup failed as it found a new low. But the long term (6 month) play is still valid. In fact, I think they goal post in mid February was a sign that smart money took a little profit but is still invested. There was no sustained high volume beyond a one day goalpost. That's a good sign for continuation of the trend and a bottom being near. Plus, it's following the general trajectory of S&P which is primed for new highs. So I'm still in and even considering adding to my position.

$CLOV up 21% in early trading.
I only have 10 shares though.

Anybody have a long term outlook on FB? Below $200 seems like a solid buy.

$ARRY just broke $10, Still a ways to go for me to be in the green.

I have bought additional 20 shares since the massive drop on their earnings day

DEO got poked with a stick.

Insert Ron Paul gif

$210 is resistance. I'll be going net free on my calls around there.

More swing than trading, so I'll post this here. I have cash that I pulled out of stocks a couple weeks ago in a tax-free long-term investing account. My plan is to begin layering back in. 10%-20% likely early next week and then I'll figure out how I'll step back in if we keep going down or where I'll move back in if we reverse and run back above the 50-ema on QQQ and 200-ema on SPX. My thought process is I don't have to catch the bottom and I want to lock in gains from buying back at a lower price, although I don't want to be all the way back in stocks if the market really does something stupid.

When I do start buying in, I'm thinking value stocks or value stock fund so they may not get hit as hard if the market continues down. When buying back if we appear on an upswing, I'm thinking VOO with a small amount of SPXU or UPRO. I'll likely try to target some LEAPS if I see some industries that get overly beaten up like airlines were in early covid. Thoughts?

with the recent lows- who is buying into the following?

which would you prefer for long term / retirement holding? but also which is the best buy to make NOW with the massive decreases in share price over the last year:

Microsoft

Apple

NVIDIA

Paypal

Meta/Facebook

Netflix

Amazon

Goldman Sachs

ARKK

If I were dumping money into tech, I'd probably split it evenly between AAPL, AMZN, MSFT.

I find it hard to believe that Facebook and Paypal and Nvidia are just going to disappear in the next 3 years

it seems more likely that at some point their share price will return to near what it was over the past few years.

if that happens, each share you own will have returned hundreds of dollars.

anyone disagree?

So now I wish I'd put more in $GWH.

I bought a few more shares of $MMM today, it is at 1 year low, and in fact looks to be at a 5 year low.
Over 6% yield right now.

Thought this thread may be worth a bump - What are folks adding to their long term portfolios at the moment?

Why has it taken such a beating

Don't know.

The potential litigation and losses associated with PFAS (aka forever chemicals) could be the eventual end of 3M.
