C'mon bro, do you look at your own post on a daily basis? Please.

Eh... don't worry about it.  Your "calling me out" was correct in hindsight.  I went back and looked at the charts and each time I made a comment I was being optimistic (which is my personality by default).  Nobody can see into the future and nobody predicted the violent decline in the markets myself included.

As far as today?  I don't think that we will test market lows in the near future.  Barring some major catastrophic event I don't think we dip back down below 20k on the DOW.  Again as I have said numerous times, I am by no means a professional and my comments are just my opinion.

So far my only short term "fail" is buying Boeing at a higher price.  I initially wanted to buy at $150 and it shot past that last week.  When it pulled back into the $160 range I went ahead and took a small position.  It's now down to my initial "buy" price of around $150 (actual close today is $149.43).  The thing is that this company will survive the COVID-19 pandemic and they will recover, especially with government backing.  They are essentially the "only game in town" as far as aircraft manufacturing.  The stock will go back up to it's 52 week high eventually.  If I wasn't so lazy I would find the story that I saw where the government is buying more P-8 aircraft (basically a 737) as well as foreign military purchasing the same thing.

It's not about "timing the market" or "predicting a bottom".  It's all about looking to the future and investing long term.

Not worried JIB. We may disagree often, but I know you don't take things personally and in my eyes you've always been extremely fair in adjudicating the board.

And true to form, I think we probably will see it dip down again. I don't really see how it can't, except it's not. So I'm completely confused and on the sidelines lol. 

Your MSFT is looking real nice though.
