what are most of you doing today? Nibbling at stocks? Still waiting?

What's your plan right now? Nibbling? Waiting?
Where do you see the market going?

Selling. I think we had our little fun going up and there's no good news coming out of this weekend. I think the bounce already came off the bill, so whenever it passes it won't get much higher. I don't think 18000 was the bottom.

No long positions...holding short

Everything for me is long term. Opened an individual account at the beginning of March with only $1500, and decided to put in $100 a month here on out. Will keep buying and hold long term. (Been maxing my work retirement for 15 years now, have about 20 more years to go)
Eta: I’m down about 25% on my individual account I opened earlier this month.

wish i had sold yesterday. that's hindsight. should have sold a month ago
will lose 3 or so percent today, but that's not bad all considered.

i have a 401k for my company and i'm not touching any of that. i'm actually going to up the amount I add to that. currently at 7% and going to up to 10%.
the individual account I have is more for the short term, stuff i will eventually use for a downpayment on a house within the next year or two. that stuff i'm pulling out. when we hit a bottom, i may throw a little back in, we'll see. i just am not very risk tolerant with this money

Good question. Never really bought individual stocks but opened a TD Ameritrade account today.
I just want to buy and hold.

I'm nibbling. I sold yesterday but was initially nervous as hell that I missed the boat. So said to myslelf that if it goes down today, I'll buy back some and hope to test previous lows then load up.

Sold my SPXL but keeping everything else for the long term. Still holding 2/3 of the cash that the wife and I agreed to put in waiting on the drop

My bimonthly $200 transfer hit the Roth this morning. I averaged down on CIM.
I’ve done that twice now. Haven’t timed the price perfectly, but the ex div is end of this month, so that’s good timing.
Should receive a $114 dividend for reinvestment on 31 April.

Hopefully the bottom falls out the day before the dividend and then moons

I think there will still be a drop but prices on AAPL and MSFT are just too damn good right now.
Posted on 3/27/20 at 11:51 am to boomtown143
Nibbled earlier in the week and took profits.
I'm waiting now.

IMO unless the corporate real estate market collapses, we'll re-test the lows in the next week or 10 days. At that point we'll focus more on buying longer positions than trading, hunker down, and hopefully ride the rise over several months toward the old highs.

switched 5% of my 403b from small/mid-cap equities to total bond market.

Getting in little by little, targeting stocks that look good long term.
Might start buying dips for sticks like PENN with high debt loads and selling bounces, but it would have to be low priced stocks.
