I bought in today with two months worth of earnings. I usually invest every month, but I had let it build up.

Could be a mistake... could be smart! We’ll find out in 20 years when I need the money...

We're at where I originally said I'd buy back in at -20%, but I was expecting it in mid-late april. I think its reasonable time for a long term investor to buy back in or put money in the market, but I expect more loses so I'm still out.

Crash != volatility. Almost every day for the last 3 weeks the markets have moved more up or down than most years highest percentage movement.

getting close to tripping a circuit breaker now. I bought some BA today.

I like BA as an option play but not a buy and hold right now. Too much uncertainty on the 737. I did add to my call options for Jan '21.

I feel that if the president is willing to prop up cruise lines, he would be willing to bail out Boeing if needed.

There gonna be a lot of industries that need propping up. It's easy to make general promises to the first ones getting effected, but it won't be realistic to save everyone with this event.

Boeing is not going to go away. The US needs that company. The US doesn't need cruise ships.

Why the fuck is VTSAX up?

Oh this was as of yesterday? What the shit did I miss that we have no price for today? Or are they too fucking slow to update today?

30-day travel ban with the EU. You only thought airline stocks had it bad. This is a fucking dagger to the gut for them.

Trump gave a pretty decent speech. The big problem is that the content isn't going to be what people want to hear. Hard to figure out how the markets will react. It's pretty obvious now that this is going to be a bleak year no matter what we do. We'll survive, but its gonna definitely cause some pain and changes.

I think congress really has some wiggle room to act drastically though. This disease will add decades to social security.
