This is the best time to start a retirement account, man. Good on ya. I wish all my stock ownership started right now.

I still think E&P is a massive bear trap. Even if oil was still at $50 a lot of these guys were going to have problems. How long is it going to sit there at $30? It's not like there's a lot of incremental demand here in the US or in Europe--hell, half my building skipped the commute today and is working from home.

The dividends aren't safe and they're still fuckin' drilling everywhere blowing through cap ex. Cash flow sucks.

Just a dissenting opinion on that. I may be wrong. I'm neither long nor short it.
So you’re saying the oil stocks are likely to go lower? Isn’t that a bull trap? Or am I misunderstanding?

I’m pretty sure the E part of that ratio will be headed downwards for most companies for a while. Although it might be a good time to buy grocery chains as everyone stocks up on toilet paper for nuclear winter.

Oil stocks are still drilling and exploring even with oil being super cheap and they're probably doing so at a loss which means they're essentially betting on more expensive oil and if they explore too rapidly, they might run out of cash before the price goes up especially if there's another drop in price. Commodities, especially oil, are pretty much are guaranteed to go up in price but will it be this year, next year, next decade, etc. Do they have enough cash to stay operational until OPEC decides to make money again? Aramco has enough cash to never drill for oil again, so.

Yeah oil will go up, but how high. The fantasy of oil at 100+ a barrel may be over, at least in any market where you are still pumping for it. A lot of negative production pressure on oil going into this decade, and fracing is just burning capex at this point. Everything else is may be a better deal then oil

I don't know man, a lot of pumping operations slowed the gently caress down after oil went from 100 to 60, and reserves that were originally determined to last about 50 years are gonna be trickling for 100 years probably.

I'm holding May 205 puts on SPY.

I strongly disagree with Greasyhands. We're looking at low 2400 S&P 500 pre-market, and I don't think we stop there. People will lose their minds about a lockdown and sell more. COVID-19, even with a bumbled response, is very unlikely to kill more than a few percent of the population; that is tragic, but it is not itself cause to evaporate most of equities prices. However it's not acting alone:
*snip*

fwiw, i dont disagree with any of this and I am not advocating buying SPY really, though I don’t have a problem with dipping your toes in here. I am looking at things that are already down 75% and have “outperformed” to the downside- oil has some very cheap names out there right now that will either fail or make you 3x+ your money over the next few years. The big names in hotels still dont look that cheap (I like the MAR $60 target the other guy mentioned, for example) but some REITs are getting really cheap. You are absolutely right that the market can go much lower from here, but the selective bargains are definitely beginning to show up in this madness. Look at BGS for example. I didnt feel like getting into a long discussion about it but it hitting $10 the other day was definitely a great buying opp. Market appears to be coming around to the idea that AAWW is about to feast in this environment, as another example. Was a great buy in the am panic today.

Those reserves since the mid 2000s are mostly unconventional plays. These aren't the oil reserves of old in formations with good transmissivity and a water/gas drive. You have to continuously frac to get your return. After Capex it's a losing battle.

I think the big uncertainty is whether this ends up looking more like a 2 month pause that doesn't affect long term profitability too much, or whether the pause causes the whole economy to spiral out of control as people start losing jobs and housing and cars because everyone lives paycheck to paycheck and our safety net sucks.

The government could fix it by mandating paid sick leave and sending everyone a check for $1,000 but obviously that's socialism so I guess I should dig out my Dow 10,000 hat again while we throw money at banks and exploit dying people for profit instead.

If you keep punting the can eventually you are writing puts under the bottom and can't fail! Unless you think SPY 0 puts are going to be reached and pay out.

also fwiw I do agree that this is the time to evaluate individual stocks instead of just playing broad indices and to both target winners and losers. I bought CPE on your advice a few days ago; mainly because it was too nice an opportunity to pass up.

also REITs are getting very cheap; I've taken a hit of 20% on my indexing portfolio, but ~42% on my reits. Fortunately I trimmed them all up at the top, not out of some sort of prescience but just by virtue of it getting top heavy and wanting some liquidity for degenerate gambling.
