So if you had $50K to invest, where would you put it?

Long as I have to. Maybe rebuy if it's drops to $3.20.

You know that USO is not a good ETF to hold long term right?

USO suffers significant time decay.

Very volatile stock. I got shaken out 2x. I got out with a small profit on the first one and a small loss on the second.

I am banking it will have a short term return as things pick up but I e already admitted multiple times in this thread that I am still learning and an extreme novice.

Today sucks a lot.

We need wheels moving and wings in the air soon

Are you an advisor

History? Not to be rude, but over the last ~8 years its been going down pretty consistently

USO is dogshit lol. Investing in oil is garbage, sure it can go up but I'd rather invest in a good blue chip stock where I have much better chances of making more money due to many other variables and not just the price of oil.

Well I guess I'll go cry now.

Why catch a falling knife? Much better setups out there, IMO.

Sorry to hear that!
I think it is a stock worth taking a small flyer on, if only to help keep an eye on it.
I should take some profits from it now....

More like catching a falling samurai sword right now. This one may leave a lasting mark that I will learn from. Can't sell it now, got to ride it out.

You can sell it now. Easy question: would you buy it today? If not, sell it.

Placed a limit for 10,000 shares of WTII for total of $1. LOL it's probably not gonna make money ever but if it ever does go up...

This thread makes me happy. For us hard core indexers, we need price discovery to keep the market moving. Ya'll are doing a fine job.

We also appreciate your condescending tone and know we are not worthy of sniffing your jockstrap when it comes to the market. Thanks

I hope your position isn't massive. I know people that dump their whole life savings in 1 stock and hope for the best.

It's not much and I am spread over 10 different positions. All of them negative today but that's a different story hahahaha. The total amount I put in my TDA account was close to equivalent of what I would spend if I went to Vegas for a week including gambling.
