What stocks are you buying?

[TexasHusker]

I spent $25K on stocks this a.m., hoping that a bounce back in a couple of years will pay for a year of college.

BIOGEN
APPLE
JP MORGAN CHASE
DISNEY
CATERPILLAR

Last week I already bought Chevron, AAL, and Carnival.

I suppose it's possible that if things get really nasty to the downside I could buy some more, talking sub DJIA 15K,

But I think that $30K exposure to the stock market is quite enough for me personally.

I've bought some American Airlines, JETS airline ETF, and put some extra money into our Vanguard High Dividend ETF. I've still got my eye on Carnival, the largest cruise line in the world. It's dropped under $10 now which is insane.

That's just a number! lol

Mostly just buying my planned core holdings for my broad portfolio, with a few exceptions.

Core/planned:
VOO (S&P500 ETF)
VO (Mid-Cap ETF)
VB (Small-Cap ETF)
VXUS (Total Int'l ETF)
VNQ (REIT ETF)

Long-held others (1-2sh purchases as able):
VWO (Emerging Markets ETF)
BRK-B (Berkshire Hathaway)

Add-ons: (<5%)
- JETS (Airlines ETF)
- DIS (Disney)
- Possibly more TBD?

I'm happy to focus my cash on these. Honestly, doing only $1k-$2k/week, I probably wouldn't be able to buy into too many others without throwing off the balance between all of them.

Touche!

A year ago CCL was $57. Right now it is under $9 so off 85%. It's crazy.

It has the look and feel of a crash to zero and bankruptcy.

The "good" thing is that our stock allocation had dropped quite a bit so me buying more is really just part of rebalancing and getting our equity exposure back up.

Well, this stuff in the taxable brokerage is 100% stock anyway... But I'm trying to keep the core holdings in balance (roughly 20/20/20/15/15), with the other/add-on stuff thrown in as a small portion of the mix for "seasoning."

On the Roth IRA side though, I'm just using the standard 3-Fund, so that one really is getting thrown off-kilter by the market panic. I rebalanced on ~2 Mar (after realizing I forgot to do it around the new year), and the balance is already 2% off in just 2 weeks... If it gets to 5% off, I'll go in & do another rebalanace.

I’m on the sidelines waiting for # of cases to level off

[cypher1]

Last night I put in orders for VTSAX in taxable, and got VGHCX pretty low to max out the Roth. Late morning I jumped on the bandwagon and picked up 90 shares of JETS at 12.15. Keeping my eye on DIS prices for last individual stocks, then take a break on all the splurging of last 10 days.

Been busy at work, but kind of kicking myself for not jumping on DIS when it was around 80 per share, as I see its just over 83 now.

I am pretty sure you will have another chance. You could always put a limit order in, but the question is how low will it go?

Darn good question. We still got a ways to go. Bought some DIS yesterday at 86.42, and later today at 93.84, 14 shares total. This is the last individual stock I'm watching moving forward. Otherwise sticking to mainly index funds, and some ETFs.

What a ride so far. Buckle up!

[LivingAlmostLarge]

nothing yet. I am going to wait. I lost enough to make me sick but i haven't sold anything and i'm weighing stocks or real estate. I think we are a year out from RE crashing and maybe I can scoop a year then. But i risk the cash I am holding for that in the stock market and I'm thinking that the bottom hasn't hit yet. 401k is still investing and I rolled DH's after tax into his 401k so another $15k there. I've got some cash in investment accounts to buy and I'm weighing JETS and I was looking at a cruise line too. Maybe a $5k play on both.
