The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[EastMT]

This made me chuckle. What the hell is it about all the toilet paper everyone’s buying now? I can’t say that I’ve seen the shelves being empty around here, I haven’t been shopping in a couple weeks, but man, it’s all over the news showing people coming out of Walmart and Cosco, loaded up with rolls of toilet paper.

I’m thinking I should’ve bought stock in Charmin, but it looks like I missed out on that opportunity as well.

3m, Costco few others stocks were soaring last I looked. Too late now

Indeed,too late possibly on some but my broker just faxed me a list of companies projected to run full out,24/7 for the next year. Full year.
$$ to be made.

Oil and Gas companies won’t last long at these barrel prices. Hoping that Russia shoots a rocket over into Saudi and then we make $$.

Buying Stocks feels like gamble to me sometimes.

 

[AK Troutbum]

Haha, I know! Mine was a joke.

I would understand if all the rice and beans was sold out but TP? I don't think diarrhea is even a symptom...

Yup, exactly what I was thinking. They just declared Alaska under state of emergency yet they’re saying that there hasn’t been a single confirmed coronavirus case as of yet.I think I’ll head down to the store and pick up a couple bottles of bourbon as it seems like that’s usually the first thing to be cleared off the shelves up here.

Yeah, I think Costco stock has probably always been a pretty solid investment.

For 'disinfecting' purposes right?

This is down town Seattle at lunch time. No way that’s not going to screw up the economy. Uff da.

What happens when Wall Street looks like this during work hours?

Those people are still working, they're just doing it from home. South Lake Union is Amazon, Facebook, etc. My office is in Kirkland, WA and I haven't been there in 2 weeks yet I've been getting more done at home even with the occasional Rokslide distraction. Lol. Welcome to 2020.

Will be interesting to see if companies see a trend in employees getting more done at home and allow more remote working in the future. I know there has been a push for this arrangement.

 

[EastMT]

Oh yeah the big guys are still going, just all the lunch places, coffee shops, etc have got to be hurting, or will be soon

Rumblings about increasingly less confidence in the administration has me worried. I am now sitting on more cash then I have in last 10 years with no plans to change that anytime soon.

 

[Sod Farmer]

This is probably a great buying opportunity. That being said, if you are sitting at the poker table wondering who the "Mark" is - - - - IT'S YOU!

The head of HR at Twitter basically said that this will likely be the catalyst for their company to be primarily telecommuting based going forward.

Agreed, though the administration should be less a concern than Joe consumer.

As a data point. Average bear market drop is 28%...we just hit 20...that is, unless we tip into recession territory.

Sorry I just don't see the point in buying airlines or oil drilling companies yet. Companies are banning travel, Boeing still hasn't gotten the max flying, drilling will be idle till oil rebounds (well above the 30s).

The restaurants and bars are starting to hurt, yes. Waiters and such have already started to get laid off at quite a few places in the city.

I wouldn’t buy Boeing with your money.......
