{quote} 2018 was just a buy the dip situation for me. Wouldn't it be crazy if this recession pans out the same way? I don't think its going to play out like that, but I'd give that a 35% chance at this point since the rally has been so strong.
Honestly after punting most of my gains from shorts off against this market yeah im just sticking to equity, was fun riding the wave with you guys. But my home is in equity, might start another thread in next week or so, gonna be going low risk equity sticking to sectors that seem oversold.

Derivatives stopped making sense around the 2700 mark for me.

I wonder how its gonna feel in 5 years when i return to peak net /puke

Well your equities sure must be doing good. If you want to get another thread going on equities I’d certainly be interested in participating.

This is true, way too good to be fucking true in all honestly.

Cant believe the returns on cvx/xom makes up for the off-ranging indices I guess

abit late but sold most of equity at absurd gains, cant believe how high some of these positions ran.

Honestly took most of them expecting losses for atleast a month.

Gonna take some time, and see how market reacts monday, but will be posting excel spreads after I enter

Nice timing on your exits! Futures show continuation of the sell-off on Friday.

Energy positions doing very well.

Might look to widen position.

Been taking things abit slower, and been actually dragging some pretty nice gains.

Thoughts on overall markets currently? Been awhile since we've had a discussion

Glad you’ve been doing well.

This still seems like a bear market rally in equities, but I don’t have as much conviction as I did earlier. I’m still very bullish on gold and might have to double my position in IAU.

Feels good to be at peak again, through circuit breakers had so many derivative and swaps forgot how well equity climbs with good timing. Those were some crazy times looking back, maybe we'll see more in q3. Look forward to some discussion around what your guys thoughts are on the market. Havent touched much /cl but been mostly trading /gc and as I said riding equity for past few months

In general on the equity side i am looking for (current conditions)

  1. Pharmaceuticals
  2. Gaming industry
  3. Food sector

In case of a second wave i still have to figure out a playbook.

Nice to see you making money . I am still a bit cautious in investing in energy in case there might be a second wave and smashing demand. Then again with a tight stop and a declining dollar .

Currently looking to add low value telecom stocks based around dividend strategy. Although international roaming is under pressure more and more people are working from home creating more demand in (mobile) internet connectivity.

Since my base currency is EUR i am not looking for US stocks atm. The reason for this is the weak dollar and i expect the dollar to remain weak making commodities favorable.
