Given Corona hitting market values hard, where would you look to put in around $25k of cash? I was thinking ViacomCBS because they seem to have been getting hit way too hard proportionally, but looking at what others are doing.

I would pick up indexes unless you're an experienced pub co. lover. I broke my own rule and bought some Berky + OakTree though.
Market index of your choice, potentially ~$1k in a single stock if you have a true investment thesis on it
ViacomCBS was struggling before corona, and it's in a dying and crowded industry. There are more financially sound companies out there also trading pretty low
Second passing on VIAC - stocked tanked as a result of Q4 2019 earnings miss and kept going down then got hit like the rest of the market.
Crowded market for sure - but if you strip the thing down and literally just license out their owned content, its worth more than an $8B company.
Plus their ad supported OTT Network Pluto.Tv has more than increased its audience by 250% during this crises. They may be the #1 leader in ad supported OTT right now.
VFH

rip your portfolio
Assuming I'll hold for atleast 3-5 years, my risk allocation would look something like this:
35% US equities (VTI)
20% 20y+ treasuries (TLT)
20% TIPS (VTIP)
15% Gold (GLD)
10% Commodity trend following
I would usually have more in treasuries and equities, and less in commodities and TIPS...but I'm not confident those will still deliver with rates at this level and what I believe to be an inflationary future once this blows over.
Cringe
20% TLT —-> 20% PFIX*****
Tbh this makes sense for someone older but if hes young idk why he wouldn't have a more aggressive port. I dont think 20 year olds need to be holding treasuries...
Agreed. Absolutely no reason for anyone in their 20s to touch bonds unless completely convinced the market is going to tank. But stats show that just isn’t really true
How old are you? I see you're working at HF so I'm assuming closer to 30 than 20? I guess it makes sense if you're older, but I don't get why you'd have this allocation if you're younger...Are you just worried about volatility in your annual comp?
Long-horizon strat: 45% VTSAX 25% VIMAX 30% VSMAX. This gets approximately equal exposure to small, mid, and large cap blends while minimizing expense ratios. But I'm starting to consider a lower weight on small caps in favor of mids
Mid 20s - early 30s demographic:
Before S&P500 hits 1800: 50% SHV; 50% CLTL After S&P500 dips below 1800: 50% S&P ETF; 30% short term treasury ETFs; 20% SHV/CLTL
Can you eli5 the purpose of SHV & CLTL, why not buy puts till it hits 1800?
Vol is too expensive to buy right now
You really think SPY will go below 1800? Not to say it won't, but what's your reasoning?
whynot just hold cash instead of SHV or CLTL
Amazon, google, lulu, fb, apple, tesla, SPY, mcdonalds, microsoft, zoom, boeing, disney, beyond meat, starbucks, southwest, pfizer, delta, EPR, virgin galactic, american airlines, one of the cruise ship co., oil, plug power = diverse and promising
This is like a who’s who of BECKY and standard bro fund manager
Buying a lot of oil companies, between $1 billion and $10 billion market cap, I bought a lot of OXY stock. There are a lot of small to mid cap oil producers that have enough cash to keep going for a few quarters without running into too much trouble.
??????
I bought a lot of oil stocks; small to mid cap. Not actual companies; my bad.
Same. Lots of upside in oil prices right now with a potential production cut and a pick up in demand from a recovery from coronavirus.
Oil can only go up from here, I mean how much can it really drop? Even if they can't cut back barrel production that much.
I'd shove it all into the single B tranche of a CLO for 70 cents on the dollar
buy 1 month options for something you did your research on
Short Energy Long Oil Tankers Long IG Bonds Ignore the vol
TQQQ
Lol this was the play
Oil and Airline stocks. Delta and Southwest are the best positioned airlines.
Or just buy the S&P.
3x S&P ETF of your choice
I would buy some BA now and wait for the REITs to tank further more and then go in
