If you have 100k to throw around I assume you can take some risk.

10K- SPY
10K - QQQ
10K - JPM - JP Morgan
10K - CV - Chevron
10K - XOM - exxon
10K CCL - Carnival Cruise Line
10K SYY - Sysco Foods
10K - AUPH - Aurinia Pharmacueticals
10K - CBRL - Cracker Barrell
5K - DIS - Disney
5K - DAL- Delta Airlines

You have to look at trends and what the market has learned from Coronavirus.

Cruise ship stocks aren’t going to be as hot over the next 5 years.

America depends on Amazon, Costco, and Walmart during times of need.

Amazon is also developing a drone delivery service which will be great for sheltering in place.

Microsoft has an amazing platform for working remotely called “teams”

Oil is not so hot right now because Saudi Arabia has increased production and shares will tank again on the slightest inclination of another pandemic.

FB and Twitter are valuable for information sharing and aren’t going anywhere.

Don’t think about stocks that are low, think about companies that are going places and making an impact.

Personally, I'd evenly distribute about 75% into funds of a mix of Large cap value/growth, small cap value/growth, international/emerging markets, etc.

The other 25% I'd put into individual stocks. A mix of large cap companies like Apple, Disney, etc, and a few flyers on super depressed industries like airlines & oil.

Personally, I’d invest in the Top 20 S&P 500 companies that are not O&G related.

I’d say 30% into SPY or something similar
50% spread into some blue chips like Microsoft, visa, amazon, jpm, mcd
The other 20% gamble with on the distressed sectors- oil & travel (although I’d prefer travel)

I don't usually invest but all my projects are on hold and I'm bored, so I took 100k to dick around with. I started off by throwing darts at a dart board and lost significant money the first couple days. The only strategy my feeble brain could come up with was to watch large companies that trade at high volumes that were consistently bouncing and do limit buys/sells that were well within range. I also used a leveraged inverse ETF to short the DOW after every up day because the pattern was an up day then a down day.

There are better ways to do it, I'm sure, but I've been making money.

My next buy will probably by Coke at around 38.50 unless there is big drop Mon Morning, and sell limit at 43 or 44 which would likely execute later in the week. That would be an 11-14% return in a few days.

Obviously the risk is that things get worse rapidly and the bottom drops out quickly and I am left holding stocks for a long time to recoup or I'm selling at a loss. So don't do anything like this if you'll need the cash any time soon. And don't do it with companies that aren't strong enough to come back from this, or you'll never get your money back.

I am treating this like a 3-month long trip to the casino.

Targeted rebound stocks through the end of 2020. Exampls

RCL
McD
BA
Uber
EXPE
BUD

I would also suggest getting into TDOC. Bought this last year at around $ 40....its up around $140. This situation has shown the value of tele-medicine.

If MSFT isn’t on your rebound list, GTFO.

Cruise liners are going to struggle for a while.

Companies with cloud technology are going to rebound harder and faster than the rest.
