What do we think will be the first industries to get back to full operations?
Gyms, movie theaters, airlines and cruise companies will probably be the last
My thinking right now is restaurants. People in general may forego that expensive trip for awhile but will go out for a sit down dinner a few miles from home just to get out and away when this all blows over and employment starts to come back and they get that first full check. Just my thoughts though. I've been wrong before. [Reply]

Yep. I've already staked my bets. Darden along with Texas Roadhouse, Bloomin Brands, and a handful of other well established casual dine in/carry out chains in the sector. I, like you am seeing a scenario where a considerable number of smaller offerings could go bankrupt. But my thinking is that a good number of the larger non pizza or fast food chains that are getting pounded right now are going to survive. I'm expecting a fair share of volatility and some short term losses until the market as a whole starts to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Like I mentioned , I've been wrong before. But that's the way I am seeing it. [Reply]
I hated when TD bought Scottrade. I hope they create another Scottrade. It was the best and most concise online brokerage. TD Ameritrade was so fucked up with too many bells and whistles and overkill.
I wanted to create my own simple layout and it was just a fucking eyesore on what they made you have on your home page.
I have Wells Fargo now and it sucks, so far behind the times. [Reply]
Now is not the time to get foolish. Let's talk about long term investing in sound companies. Here's my current list of positions I'm looking to add during this downturn for long term growth.
Johnson and Johnson
Visa
McDonald's
Apple
Catepillar (I question having this included)
Nike
Honeywell
