There are myriad stocks that have a "buy" rating from my advisors. It's at this point in time that they don't advise buying stocks because the overall market is not moving in the right direction. That could change in a few days.

I've learned to play the middle 80% of the market. Don't buy bottom feeders and don't try to pick the top. When to buy and when to sell are critical. That's where professionals come into play. They do market analysis for a living. I don't.

Good investing!

This is why I pulled out my 401k $ to my self directed ira. I have way more flexibility.

Beginning of the Great Depression versus now. I’m assuming it’s matching SPX now up with the Dow then.

Right on.

My sector is most certainly different than mid 1933. FWIW

Apparently they didn't have wheat futures in the 30s. At least that I could find easily. The second chart is May 21 Chicago wheat, which is new crop wheat.

Woof. That cash wheat chart doesn't come through in dark mode but you get the picture.

Here you go man. The graphic had a transparent alpha layer. I removed it by converting it to JPG which doesn't support it.

I’ve been analyzing lots of stocks the past few days and nothing looks great for buy and hold.

I believe that financial crisis will make stocks go low. I don't think that multi-trillion donations by the US government will be able to recover the world economic system so sooner or later it will go down. As for stocks I think that Apple and Microsoft look attractive in that aspect as they are run by great managers, my opinion. 1 more option of strong investment can be real estate. Say, now property in Spain is relatively cheap and offers great value for money https://virtoproperty.com/villas-for...te/javea-xabia :-)

Red day today in my account. I guess this is how is going to be from now on as the economy crashes and burns.

How was it red today? Are you only invested in a certain sector?

Market up 7% since Friday and only moved down today after Trump declared victory.

I ended up notably in the black (or green or whatever), but I did have a lot of red stocks, which surprised me. Most or all of the gains seemed to come from massive increases in the FAANG stocks and other tech. Are you not in any of those?

Healthcare and tech up big today. Other sectors more meh.

It’s going to be volatile regardless of who becomes president if the unknown is drug out a long duration though. Buy the dips!
