Stock Market is the bottom in?

Yesterday, was definitely a buying opportunity. Maybe we get another one in future, but that could be a low ??

Example … Energy Transfer was down to $14.72 and it’s almost $17 now .

Pays a 8% dividend .

JP Morgan was $205 yesterday and it’s $227 today . It pays a reasonable dividend.
 
I backed up the truck on VLO on Friday. Got it all at $103.30.

We've got a ways to go to get stabilized, but this is a nice little turn around. I also rang the bell on those puts yesterday. Turned $25 into $900.

I don’t think we can call a bottom until the China problem is somewhat resolved. They are so massive to our economy that unfortunately the deals with these other countries, while nice, are just a band aid on axe wound. How do Amazon and wal mart, etc survive with 105% tariff on china?

I listened to a Walmart executive a few months ago. She claimed they have minimized the Chinese exposure.

The stock that I own that worries me the most with China is apple 🍎. Lamb Weston is also a concern.
 
They can’t put IPhones together in Mexico ?

Sure. In a couple years when factories and suppliers all move there. It’s like turning an aircraft carrier with a beast of an operation like that I’m sure
 
I know they are building in the US, but just surprised they didn’t see the China situation coming ?
 
I bought a bunch over the last 3 days. good to see the market up. Hopefully it keeps going up!
 
What I'd like to see out of this mess with China is for an American friendly leadership to overthrow Xi in a coup. Use trade to sway American friendly leaderships in foreign nations.
 
Whew almost caved and bought some stuff with the upswing this morning. Glad I held off.

I think we are gonna need to see a blow off bottom at some point. Maybe hit some of these circuit breakers, get the market halted a few times and really drive the fear higher. Still weak hands need to be shaken out.
 
I’m tapped out and all in already. I swept the floor for some cash to buy a Friday $525 call on the SPY. Betting on the seesaw.

Saw these charts on a video that I am watching. They suggest high surges in the VIX and big declines in the S&P are almost always followed by nice rallies.

I just been thinking about this tariff deal.

They all be meowing about the 10 to 50 % tariffs.

The USA worker pays how much tax?

MEOW
 
If the fed doesn’t step in and do their thing to crush China, we are toast. This TMF trade could go real bad.

I did sell some yesterday, took the opportunity to offload some with minimal losses, looking to put that money in today in some stocks that have an opportunity to really rebound.
