Does anyone like Disn? I got in about $115 and with the delayed openings we could see a relatively smooth opening and if the NBA is centralized there, it could go through the roof, also remember that ABC/ESPN has UFC and other sports set to air and networks are doing unheard of numbers for NASCAR races, plus the highlights at night, this is a time where watching sports will be crucial

March 23rd will be the day everyone remembers lol...that was when everything crashed..so all though we are somewhat late on the jump there is still money to be made in these areas especially Disney if that was the stock you were referring too...the lowest they have seen is 80$ and it’s barely over a 100$ now with a 52 week high of 150$ A share, so there is definitely money to be made Here..I’m waiting on Jnug to shoot up I bought some at 84$ and 85$ and it’s seeing 100$ now.

It's just a good company with several good businesses. They also have their movie studios. Even if the theaters are slow to open back up, they have their own video platforms so they'll manage.

I think that the bigger thing happening right now is that rather than having some ratings working out for them, they're seeing an opportunity to accelerate the growth of their Disney and ESPN streaming services. Cord cutting has made the ESPN networks less valuable but if they can gather up lost subs from cable affiliates and migrate them to the ESPN streaming service then they are actually building a better long term business. I don't know if high ratings for NASCAR, NBA, or UFC makes a lot of difference right now since the advertising fees should have already been negotiated and for the next buying cycle the higher ratings were due to an unusual event and not due to vastly more desirable programming being created. High ratings will juice up the volatility for short term trading opportunities though.

The theme park business will most likely be a drag unless there's nothing but good news going forward as far as knocking down the virus. Any significant spikes in cases, a robust second wave, or delays in developing a vaccine and DIS likely pulls back hard as news rolls out. There's little doubt though that it will be back at all time highs within a year or two. Sooner if big Pharma comes up with major break throughs.

I wish i could have just bought into my stock portfolio in March 23rd. I would have two double dippers.

I will just get a bit more educated

I know right!...my biggest miss I feel like was (BN)..at 95$ a share.first mistake I made in stock was assuming it would drop even lower and it didn’t but that makes two of us “learning” as we go along...I’ve made great money still but it’s just something you wish you could go back and capitalize on ya know lol

i got in on CCL after I heard some crazy right wing report on OAN news with my dad and the price was 9.30, then it dipped (LOL in a relative term) to um 8 and I couldn't take the intensity, next week I figured let me try again, 12.30 and down to 11. 50 and i was out. Finally I said look i have read some and i will put a market limit of 12.50 and boom it went down - 300 shares in and I am loving it. I am not a well versed investor at all, but ...I looked at 4 stocks and missed 1 of them. I saw Cruise lines go down to the low teens and thought once this crap is over all people will want to do is get away for a bit. Airlines - (DAL) i missed and i wish i caught it. DKNG was a big one for me at about 25 because i thought there is a need for sports and a need for gambling and this is not even at the point yet where gambling is legalized in most states and Disney since they have ESPN and they will program games for TV and even if sports reopen it wont be with fans yet. I have 2 in my pocket and can't wait for FanDuel to go to IPO - Boeing and AMD i think will hit and I have listened a good bit to @VolAllen

Just ride your cruise stock out even if it dips or even airlines. Once they say back to normal both will skyrocket.

So I pay attention to the channels that a certain stock trades in when I’m deciding entry and exit points. Bollinger bands can tell you a lot about the momentum of the ticker. I like to look for the double bottoms to see if it holds or breaks down. I also watch the volume. Volume typically carries the momentum. However...I don’t live or die by charts.

News and rumors are the most important things in trading. They create the volume and the momentum. I’m sure someone could have pointed out 10 good things about the Hertz chart last week. None of it mattered after they announced bankruptcy. A lot of trading is common sense. JCP, for example, was a great play last Fall at .55. When it hit that level I told all of my trader friends, go all in. In 2 weeks it ran from .55 to 1.25. Was JCPenny dead in the water? Absolutely, but still good for a quick flip. They don’t typically die on the first drop. Party City crashed from $7 to $2.40, then ultimately fell to something like $1.60. My buddy jumped in at $2.40 thinking it was the bottom, but it hadn’t stabilized at that price. It dropped to $2 and he panic sold for a loss. I picked it up at $1.60 and probably flipped it 10 times all the way back up to $3 and made a pile of money. He found the play and actually alerted me to it, but his timing was poor. Jumped in a bit too soon and didn’t have the stomach I guess to let it ride. I’m sure the Party chart was fine until the bad news of a helium shortage. News beats the chart every time.

In regards to the airlines and the cruises....these are what I’d consider safe plays. We’re not going to lose those industries because of CV19. Regardless of what you think about Coronavirus, it’s really not that scary. People will forget about it and they will vacation again. SAVE, for example was $55 in January. We’re not talking about a dead retailer selling Arizona jeans or a balloon store....we’re talking about airplanes and lifestyles. What’s the worst thing that could happen to an airliner? 9/11....no comparison. The media and mass panic are what caused a crash in March, not the actual virus. I bet most people here still haven’t actually met anyone with CV19. When SAVE hit the $7’s, I said this is the buy of a lifetime. And if it’s not, I’ll go down with it, because if the entire industry falls, life as I know it is probably over anyways. No chart can tell you that. It’s just common sense.

Bull flags, bear flags, Bart Simpson’s head and shoulders, inverted head and shoulders, cup and handle....yada yada...nothing beats news.

All that being said about news, what bad news is left for airlines and cruise ships? Bad earnings? Well duh...I’d say that’s already factored in. Bankruptcy? For cruise lines, that might still be a possibility. For airlines? Highly doubtful. TSA #’s are going up every day. I’d imagine you’d see some buyouts and mergers before BK’s.

So what good news is left? CV vaccine? Daily increase in TSA #’s? States fully open again? Flights being sold out and full? Overall market stability and a return to normalcy? These stocks are still trading at about 25% of their Q1 values.... There’s a lot of room to run.

@VolAllen can't begin to thank you enough. I donated some money today [only $125 for 4 haircuts for the guys behind me, they needed it more than me] just because of the beginning of what I have made. I like some of the logical discussions, so if you dont mind. Could we keep those dialogues going? You are a pretty fascinating investor.

Its funny, Dave Ramsey has a saying, if your debt free then the real fun can begin. I don't think he is wrong.

Dave Ramsey will also tell you to buy loaded mutual funds and not invest heavily in individual stocks...

He's not wrong about the debt though...

Lol if you take the entire advice from someone, then you have missed the boat on formulating your own opinion. He speaks the truth about his experience and his views. Baby steps is correct

In the past he has had his own problems. Now he has like 900+ rental units lol. I agree and disagree with him on a lot of things but his principal to get out of debt is the easiest and straight forward way imo. I disagree with him though about credit cards being sent from satan and some of his investment advice. Credit cards are great for those responsible enough and actually understand interest.

I agree. How people carry around hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt for 10+ years because they are “forgiving” and “low interest”, blows my mind.

If we can open sooner than later I think both will be fine. I bought in to American at $10.30 and it closed at $11.98 yesterday. I seen they laid off 30% and the CEO said they would be smaller in to the future. He also said BK was out of the question. Yea I know Saban said he wasn't leaving Miami either.

Anyways, anything look good to buy and sell today to make any money that's $2 or less? I've been watching Capstone turbine corporation (CPST).
