a 1/3 in blue chips stocks (apple, Disney, etc), and a 1/3 in some flier stocks (LUV and other travel industries). Any suggestions on any of the 1/3?

You could make the decision much easier/simpler by buying BRK.B to cover the airlines, Apple, and financials and wouldn't have to pay taxes until you sell as it does not pay dividends to shareholders. You could put half in that, then split the other half VIG/VYM, VIG is higher quality, VYM pays greater dividend. Look at the portfolio holdings each. Buffett might find some really good direct investment opps via BRK.B, in addition to what it currently owns. Still waiting to see if he will get paid in OXY shares on that preferred deal instead of cash, if OXY remains a going concern.

40K barrels of oil.

VYM and BRK.b are roughly down 18% YTD including today's pricing at the moment, VIG is only down ~ 8% indicating the "quality" difference. Depends on what your time frame is, if it is short term current price makes more difference than longer term. ETA, the easy upside has pretty much been made, so YMMV.

Any updates OP? I’m thinking of putting $10k in the market but not quite sure.

I would look at some petro stocks. Oil is stupidly low because of the Saudis getting into a production war with Russia right as the COVID shite hit the fan AND I think refineries were just swapping over to summer blends (could be off on my timing on that though). Now there's a massive glut on supply that's keeping prices (including stock prices) down. XOM (Exxon) is still a great buy at $43 (and their dividend does not suck). Don't expect it to get back up to the 60's/70's overnight though, it's going to take a LOT of travel to eat into it but it will happen.

I've picked up a bit of PK (it's a parks/hotels stock that traditionally runs around $30 but it hovering around 7-9 during all of this virus stuff). It's a bit riskier and probably a longer-term stock, but it's been solid for years so I don't see it not making back at least most of its losses.

VUG and VIGAX were making some good gains prior to this, both are still good buys.

I ended up going 5K in VYM, 5k in BRK/B. 1k in OXY, RUTH, MGM. 3k in LUV, 1k in DAL. We will see where it rides out.
