Bear Market Stock Picks - Investment Opportunities

[gqchris]

Hey Guys,

I know some of you have an ear to the market. Whats some picks to invest long term? If you had 100K sitting, where do we put for safe return? I see that wealthfront is offering 4% for a cash savings account. Is that as good as it gets? I know we don't have crystal balls, but you guys have had some great advice in the past!

And do not say Speed Car Spots,

 

[DC-88]

Short term Schwab t bills - got one over 4.7% around the new year and their regular money market is 4.2 . Long term today... no thanks , maybe SQQQ lol ?

You can buy 12 mth CD's for 4.65%, or 6 mth for 4.5% today. FDIC insured up to $250k. Putting all my cash there for now. Maybe in 6 mths move it to ETF's depending on the current economic environment.

Wish I had more money to toss at Apple

Wish I had more money to toss at Apple

In 5 years people will wish they got in on Apple... AI, Apple Car, Apple TV, Etc. I think it has huge upside. However, I'm just a normal Joe so IDK shit

 

[rivermobster]

Cloudflare is my long term cup of tea.

Great time to buy right now.

 

[TimeBandit]

Just bought 6 mo. 4.8% tbills for the cash in my IRA, I can't remember interest rates that high.

 

[Gonefishin5555]

You said long term so S&P 500 index funds is the hands down winner for highest return.

T-bills are CA tax exempt income if you are a tax paying CA resident.

You could throw a little at the tech bellweather stocks if have the stomach for it. AMZN. APPL TSLA

I always tell newer or unsophisticated investors to invest in large company dividend paying stocks or pick a mutual fund that does this. It’s probably what you should do with at least half the money.

 

[Mr. C]

Got an email from my SIL she says
Citibank is 4.05%
Synchronybank is 3.755%
for a saving account - access your money at any time

RUM is up today. I hope it holds...

 

[CLdrinker]

I don’t know shit. But with Apple being a huge tech company and with he rumors of them getting into the car business in some form. The stock will move upward for sure. If the make an actual car wholly shit it would be printing money.
I also hear they are going after India market share finally.

With 8% Inflation that's going backwards!

I'll go with the default answer: Hookers & Blow

Haha, but seriously with all the economic turmoil coming up later this year I would put my cash into Heavy Metals or Commodities.

Beats -16% in the stock market last year..........

 

[HotRod82]

Tesla. How many times has Musk outsmarted the system? Tesla has been pronounced dead 100 times over the years and Musk has always come out on top. One very under reported fact is how much Tesla stands to make just from selling power from its superchargers.

 

[hallett21]

Are you looking for a set it and forget it investment?

 

[Flatsix66]

Long Term 10+ years?

The logic here is hard to beat, buy the total market at super low cost and hold it. https://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/

 

[pronstar]

If I was looking to get back into the market, I would look really hard at gold miners, silver miners and uranium miners.

Plus dividend stocks that are on sale…or really anything that’s on sale.

Buy when things are cheap.
Sell when things are expensive.
This simple concept is lost on the majority of retail investors.

That’s what I’ve been rolling. Buying 6 month t bills right now 4.81% and state tax free. If we get a big leg down I’ll pick up Schwab's dividend fund SCHD pays 4% ish and J.P. Morgan’s JEPI fund it pays 11% dividend.

where is the best place to buy T-bills? do you need a Schwab acct or can it be done through platforms like E-trade etc?

I suspect any trading platform trades in open market bonds. Schwab makes it really easy and that’s where a lot of my money is so I just do it there. I can sort, choose and buy a treasury in a few clicks. They track and send me a 1099 and email me a couple weeks before they mature. You can even put them on reinvest where Schwab automatically rebuys, you can also use their ladder tool for starting out.

 

[boatnam2]

Been rolling T-bills since 2driver gave the tip months ago, got a portion in JEPI and CDA'N ON GOOGL,APPL, AND AMZN

Whatever you do, don't have an all-in / all-out mentality. Build up positions slowly over time using dollar-cost-averaging. Just buy a little bit on a consistent basis until all your capital is deployed. When it comes time to sell, do the same thing, ease out of your position.

My pick: $TSLA

Tesla stock has put a smile on my face that is for sure.

I love tesla. Ive sold my Tesla and waiting to buy back in.. Tesla hit it good the past few years with so many people jumping in the market with free money as well as being the only EV car on the market.. All the car manufacturers now have there own ev that is cheaper then a Tesla. I know they are more then a ev company but i think there is more downside to come.. Im waiting for it to drop down to 80-85 I feel it could drop all the way to 70

I agree there could be some more downside in the short term. This is why deploying capital slowly over time is the best long-term strategy. Capture the average price of this whole year and then look for an exit around 2025 and I bet anyone would do well.

I think I had a dream Tesla was in the 80s,
Because when I checked today and it was 120 I was pissed, and trying to figure out what happened? Lol Trying to catch a falling knife….
Are you guys happy with your Schawb accts ? I used to have Wells Trade long time ago.

Thats my plan. Although the big wins are tempting, Im too much os a wuss. Lol

 

[Orange Juice]

AT&T - dividend is 7%

 

[mesquito_creek]

Are you guys happy with your Schawb accts ?

Yes, I have had a Schwab acct for 20 plus years without issue. I have also had other big box broker accts without any problem either but for whatever reason my Schwab is my main stay.

 

[2Driver]

AT&T - dividend is 7%

That will most likely get cut

 

[2Driver]

Are you guys happy with your Schawb accts ? I used to have Wells Trade long time ago.

Yes, they have the main website for your accounts, research, sorting and trading and they have a full blown trading platform called street-smart which I’ve also used.
Supoort is also awesome and you talk to people in the US. They will take what ever time you want to walk you through trades and the website.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

AT&T - dividend is 7%

That makes the 30+% loss more bearable I guess

If TSLA ever got into the low 80's I would bet the bank and buy all I could (UNLESS there was some serious negative or catastrophic news such as Elons sick, death, or vehicles/batteries started blowing up by the hundreds for no reason) in that case I would not be a buyer lol. Bought and sold it a few times in the last two weeks.

Yep ATT sucks but that big drop includes spinning off Warner brothers stock which all ATT stock owners recieved. It also sucks LOL but it does account for some on the ATT price

 

[PaPaG]

AT&T - dividend is 7%

As of this moment AT&T stock dividend is at 5.83%. A huge drop but still decent for dividend investors.

I forgot that, thanks. Sucking less is always better

ATT sucks that bad. 30% loss adjusted for spin off is correct, sadly. The shares of WBD are off even worse, what a disaster that combo is at the moment. ATT dividend is only thing keeping investors close to even over the five year period. I caution to say it’s a LT position buy at this level.

One big factor:
Tesla is heavily reliant on sales in China, more than any other market.

And sales have been down, with low numbers continuing for the foreseeable future due to weakness in the Chinese economy.

Plus uncertainty in general for China, due to the CCP’s recent consolidation of power.
