Yeah most of my limit orders, on FB, TWTR, AMD, DIS, SBUX, and SHOP were way to low I adjusted some of them a little. It's still early in the day, but the market hasn't really panicked from the open.
If I'm someone who doesn't have a lot of money to invest as or now, and I'm in it for long haul, should I be investing in ETFs that aren't terribly expensive and keep putting in money monthly using DCA?
There are funds called index tracked funds that bundle together a number of stocks into one fund. So VTI for example is a Vanguard fund that bundles these companies and basically tracks the market. It's less risky because you don't have to pick a certain company and be knowledgeable about them. You might not hit the jackpot with that one stock, but for the uninformed investor, it's better than gambling on a few stocks you don't know much about.
While true, eventually people will likely stop obsessing over it.
It's more the oil market crashing than coronavirus right now.
Yup. I think that is already baked into what is happening though. Everyone knows we'd have 1000's or even 10's of thousands of cases right now but since we aren't testing, those numbers are being kept artificially low.
You should do this whether the market is going up or down. If you can afford to add more as the market is tanking do this.
Thank you Octodad, my good friend.
Edit - Do you think now's the best time, or maybe should I wait a bit?
Once it gets bad enough here, and parents have to stay home with their kids or people aren't going out to shows/movies/vacations, it's going to have a ripple effect through the entire economy. People are already leery about eating out or going to restaurants. Just wait.
I have no idea how anyone can think otherwise at this point.
Any other recommendations like VTI? Low fees and average or below risk?
(I already am in VSMAX and a couple of other no load funds).
Any oil and gas companies people looking at? I don't believe in O&G and im from Alberta. But if I can make a quick buck I'll do it. I got CVX in pre-market and up 6% since. It's still scary.
Ie. Haliburton at $8 and down 33%. I don't know what companies have good balance sheets and wont file bankruptcy etc.,
I don't believe in O&G long-term but if I can make some money short term it seems way overdone some of these movements.

in crisis times, buy large well known names with dividends that sells necessities
VOO, SPY, many others.
If you want to be a little edgy ARK investing has ETFs that are more tech/forward thinking that are interesting. There's a number of the m like ARKK.
IMO no. Garbage company, garbage ethics,I don't think oil has a future personally.
Read my other replies in this thread. Just put some money, every paycheck, into a tracked fund like VTI.
I don't either, but ill trade oil, Not invest in it. I might as well try and make a profit on some of these swings if I can but I just don't know what separates a solid oil company from a shit one. But yeah I wouldn't want to hold oil companies long term either.
Not to sound like a jerk, but you can check yourself
70/30 gang. Had the option for a more aggressive split but expected this to happen for the last few years. Gonna dive in once news turns around.
Yep, I want to switch to more aggressive since I'm only 34, but I'm not doing it right now. lol
As a neophyte, the hardest thing is resisting timing the market. Like, when is it ok to take the profit and run and when are you just panicking?
All I know is still almost triple my buy in price less than 5 months ago.
You buy in times like now, when people are freaking out.
You sell when people like Pokimane are asking about stocks on Twitter.
