I'm very tempted to dump half my profit into $SPY.
One of the safest ETFs out there aside from Vanguard and it's at an all-time bargain. Once this virus scare is no more, that fund will bounce like wild. [Reply]

That would retire people.
Dammit. I tried to buy some last night, but since it was below $1 Fidelity wouldn't let me do a market order. I had to put it in as a limit, and it opened above that limit and locked me out. That's an economic crime! I demand justice! [Reply]

Thanks for the ETF advice, real stocks are too scary for me.
Yeah, the silver lining to all of this is that you can buy some historically reliable long plays for a great bargain. It'll bounce back. May take a bit, but it will. [Reply]

For penny stocks, you need Ameritrade or something like that. Fidelity frowns on these things. [Reply]
I think every freaking thing I've done this year has been exactly wrong. Every time I've bought a stock, it's tanked within a week and every time I've sold a stock it's gone on a run. A lot of it is just sheer luck where I had no idea something was about to happen, but it's getting really annoying. I usually aim to match or beat the market as my goal and usually do okay, and this year I'm getting destroyed. [Reply]
