My loss could be your gain

If you manage your own portfolio.. WHR and TRMB have both gone much lower than I expected. Could be a good time now… but of course, who can say for sure.

I don't think they will bounce back from that.

Trimble looks better but I don't understand that business. Only 3.3% shorted and near the bottom of its 3-year range but sales are declining about 3% per year.

MO (Altria) has been very good to me. It is a nice hedge since it gets stronger when the rest of the market goes down. Pays 6% div forever. Once they get their own version of Zyn the stock should pop another 25% or so.

I like LUNR for its niche and its contracts and now it may become a takeover target for SPCX.

I hold QUBT but am looking for a basket (ETF) of quantum stocks to buy into on a deep red day.

Good luck!

1982, 2008. In March of 2009 I got a phone call from a mutual fund company where i had an investment. This was a pound the table call. I did not take their advice. Boy was I wrong. But I do remember MXF in 1982, a fledgling closed-end mutual fund ( precursor of ETFs) at $2. A friend talked me out of it. Easiest money ever. 2008? ConAgra, yielding about 14% was about $12 or maybe $10. Again, that was the time to get in. And so it goes.
