Sooo, is BA attractive, even with a dividend cut/elimination???????
Boeing is a binary play right now.
The price action looks like it's going to be forced into a bankruptcy/bailout.
Like gm was... equity holders get wiped out and bondholders are 1st in line for the crumbs.

If you believe Boeing can pull through without govt assistance ... then take a flyer.

I can see a few paths to survival, none easy.

EDIT: Boeing pensions would fall into the Feds pension guarantee fund, hard to believe the feds would want that.

So when is the time to invest more? I'm rather conservative and have all my money in mutual funds. We currently have 10-12k we can invest, just trying to time it right. Do you guys really think we will see 15k Dow, any evidence to support that?

This selloff was triggered by Coronavirus; most of it occuring well before some of the extreme measures we are seeing now by some states. Until there is some good news regarding Coronavirus, any selloff is just a temporary bounce or trap (in my opinion). I am guessing it takes 4-5 years at least to get back to previous levels, probably longer.

I think we will have plenty of time to enter into long positions, so don't try going in 100% right now trying to catch the bottom, that is a dangerous game. I have been studying for days now, and I have a good idea of stocks I want to buy if things get really bad. Have a plan in place now so you are ready to strike when the time is right. I already have an Excel sheet filled with ideas and notes of what I want to do under certain circumstances.

No one truly knows how long till we hit bottom or when we'll be at the bottom. My best suggestion for you is to trickle money in over a period of time. Put 2500 in this week when it's red, wait a few days or a week and put another 2500 in when its down, etc.

There are a handful of things to keep eyes on this week. Experts are speculating that the amount of new corona virus cases is going to level out this week due to the extreme measures taken, so we'll have to keep an eye on that. Additionally, the 2+ trillion care package from the government will play a factor in the market. We'll be watching how the market reacts to that when its decided upon (might be today). And coming up on april 3rd is the unemployment numbers. All things to be looking for over the next coming weeks.

Man, I hope that's true, but I just can't see it. Everything I've heard said to expect the peak in May.
