Have you held the stocks since february? Or did you sell at some point?

Some of it was moving a 401k to an IRA and holding it in cash until the crash, and the rest is almost back to where it was, lots of tech stock mutual funds.

OK for you to feel a need to be angry, as long as you don't feel the pandemic has been considered by some to be 'great'.

No, It makes me angry that the top 1% is going to come out of this with way more money while everyone is badly hurting. 40M unemployed and the dow is 80% of its all time high.

Agree that everyone is hurting badly because of the pandemic.
Regarding how much money the 1% will have later this year or the year after, compared to pre-pandemic wealth, depends on their investment strategies. They could come out with more, or considerably less. So far, they're in the red.

Not exactly sure.
Started thinning down the positions today. Took my best earners and liquidated 10% to 20% of them. Totally sold Apple since it is at basically an all time high. Figured with this weeks gains that friday could be a good sell off.

I did. I got bored with no sports and especially sports gambling so I took some of the money just to play around with.

i only really do it to kill time and talk about with friends so I only have $500 invested right now but I catch myself adding more and more when I find interesting stocks.

I bought a chair since I am going to be working from home the rest of the year.

Don't feel alone, Buffett sold the airline stocks at the bottom.

I bought too early and stubbornly have held them. Not back to even yet but today gives me hope.

Don’t know if it’s right or not but I am throwing offers out to sell some. Either good profit ones and also ones that I took cash from profits and reinvested on a drop. They are all tripping. Have to keep telling myself to be happy with a profit here.

The only recent purchase I made that isn’t paying out is RCL but I expected that going in. I waited too long to buy that one so it’ll be a steeper climb for me. The SCHB fund I bought has been very pleasant and I should have bought more. Hindsight and all that. I’m a hold guy though so I most likely won’t be turning these anytime soon.

ADT has been an interesting one for me. I would imagine with unrest, more property owners will be looking to that home security system they’ve been eyeing for awhile.

New All-time high in the Nasdaq 100. WE DID IT. The problem is the following chart. Either the stock market is really wrong, or the earnings projections are really really wrong.

The Coronavirus changed my life for the better. I invested in a testing company out of Utah at $8.75 a pop and sold around $27 a share. Took that and invested in Ford and Broadcom when they were down. $35K return off an $11K original investment. Nuts
