Risky two... CCL (Carnival) Cruise company, could see 300-500% upside, and TUI, again holidays... good upside..
Safe is hard, but I'm dropping cash into AMD, more into TSLA when it bottoms, and maybe some into Amazon.
Thank you, safe is rather vague I'll admit. I'd think of 'safe' as companies that have a good chance of rebound without going bankrupt, whereas the 'risky' ones those that would see great rebounds but risk going bankrupt before that.
Your recommendations cover my question just fine.
I don't mean to sound rude - but do you own research....
NEVER take stock selections from anyone online.
Or anyone ever including offline, as you said do your own research.
Ooh mama, just check the SPY and -12%. Highly annoyed that I'm totally outta dry powder. Expecting a green bounce tomorrow but nothing like we saw on Friday/Saturday. If I had balls (or money) I would throw a lot at General Electric right now. They've been heavily punished and I can see a 50% rebound on the cards. MSFT I'm liking in the 120s.
I'm in it now, no getting out. My paper losses will be up to 80k by the end of the week if this 10% red a day keep up. Luckily I've moved one of my smaller trackers into 50/50 bond splits so I can go aggressive with that once this thing start stabilizing.
The way I see it, if you have money and guts right now and willing to go balls deep in equities, you will be rich or ruined in 10 years.
So yes, nothing I can do about it now unless I'm willing to swallow losses, which I'd rather set myself on fire before doing.
As for nervous. Nah, not really, It's a steep decline but in my heart of hearts, I don't need the money so don't really care too deeply.

Aye mine is down 18% now.
Best to take a 5 year view, and in around 3-4 months throw anything you have into it.

Apologies if this been asked recently, it’s a large thread!
Looking for recommendations on reputable online sites to buy shares for newbie, with low commission/fees. Possibly with API, as developer and interested in messing about with own software to monitor.
would also appreciate if those sites have alerting features on stock price, or software that does.
thanks very much, most appreciate any guidance here.

Thank god I cashed out weeks ago.
I now don't know whether I should be buying or waiting it out.
People holding IMO should have cashed out 4 weeks ago and re-bought at today's level.
There is no point holding if you know it's going to go down further.

Think most of the forum knew you would post that
Well everyone seems to be an expert on here yet it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.
Yet they held on to biggest crash in our generation.
So not hindsight at all. I sold before the panic sellers did.
Probably best sitting on the sidelines with cash in hand waiting for the bottom to be reached - which realistically could be a few weeks away yet. If things get far worse, even cash may be next to worthless. The reality is no-one knows how this is going to pan out ; it's easy to comment in hindsight.
Foresight for some of us. I was all in cash from November last year as I was uncomfortable with the level of risk I saw building in the markets.
I did post on here and predicted blood in the streets back then. I also said when this epidemic got started that the smart money will GTFO, and was mocked.
C'est la vie.
