Currency fluctuations and COVID-19

Airline stocks are tough. First to fall last to come back.
With a light at the end of the tunnel I can see them climbing back at a faster rate. Airline travel will be at a premium when this COVID starts to slow down.

I purchased Air Canada just below $13.00CAD last March. Took a little longer then I had hoped, but today its sitting at $29.80CAD. It was at $52.00 prior the COVID crash. I'm willing to wait a little longer.

You still did good on JetBlue. A positive is always good , no matter how small.

"I kick myself that I didn't go all in with several stocks ... I will continue to work into my 60's."
Go all in and find yourself working to your 90's. lol. Balance. Slow and steady. It's true, some people get lucky with going all in. Strange, you only hear about the lucky ones.


In 2019 my financial advisors earned their fees. lol. They suggested I buy some Pfzier shares. I wasn't keen on the idea but I let them work on their plan. I had forgotten about that purchase. An unexpected win on that one.


I'm still on the fence with bitcoin. There are a few things still not right with it for it to pass the test with me. If you have money that you can throw away and never care if you see it again, then it might be fun to play. Kind of like a slot machine investment right now. In my city right now you hear a lot of paid advertising on the radio for it. It is being pushed too hard. Time will tell.

well, last year when the shit hit the fan around this time, was perfect ... you could have picked up airline stocks like JetBlue at $9 ... which I did ... then stupid I sold it later in September at $12 because NO way airlines would bounce back!!! ... NOW, look at that it's f'ing $21.64 today!!!! CRAZY!!! This is way way above even before the pandemic when it was doing well!!! ... It makes NO SENSE!!!! Retail traders are killing the normal trading logic of the market.

I bought other stocks like Altria (MO), VTI fund, and a large chunk of Palantir... I also own a large chunk of Tecnoglass because I am surrounded by millions of feet of their impact commercial hurricane glass, and now they are entering into the residential market. Every new building in this city for the past decade and those going up now is clad in tecnoglass

I kick myself that I didn't go all in with several stocks ... I will continue to work into my 60's.

I'm actually doing pretty good, but if I wasn't such an over analyzer I'd be sitting pretty right now

and Bitcoin is over $50K ... it's just f'ing insane

If only I...we... had a crystal ball to tell us when the market bottoms.

I'm sorry to hear this. We are all still in the ramp up of the vaccinations. I'm sure it will start off slow but as the process gets going it will pickup speed. The best thing to do is try to practice safety precautions as best you can. Stay safe.

An interesting story from a friend of mine. His sister believes this is conspiracy. Fake news. The vaccine has bots in it and the government is trying to control us. You have all heard of these people, but the twist to this story is she had caught the virus and was extremely sick. She was in the hospital for some time and was released home. She still is not doing very well. Her beliefs have not changed.

I'm in Canada. Canada appears to behind the world in vaccinations. My 104 year old grandmother got her first Pfzier shot a couple of weeks ago.

Where are you located?

still queueing to have my folks vaccinated

The other side of the world, Indonesia.

the official information is very unclear. we don't know where to ask except to the official contact number, which also can not provide clear schedule and location where to take the shots. meanwhile, we are still seeing the horrifying increasing number of infection everyday, and yet we are still wandering everywhere we want. schools are closed, but our local government is planning to re-open karaoke.

on the other side, the factory where I serve as printing prep staff receives lots of orders for food can packagings from across the world due to many lockdowns. although, we just lost a big shot by this muddafakka last feb.
