Mmm, I really just don't think so.
I know this board embraces the "its happening!" mentality but I genuinely think things are going to bounce back mid summer. obviously not to what they were before corona, but back into a modest bullish market at the very least. You have to remember the depression was caused in part to due government apathy towards market trends and increasing economic isolationism. We don't really have that right now.
I mean, look at the measures the government is taking right now. Trump, a Republican, the party of "fiscal conservatism" is literally handing out checks to people in order to prevent economic downturn. I just down think a depression will be allowed to happen. Trump would sooner go full commie and seize the means of production than let the economy collapse. His reelection depends on it.

How fucking stupid are you?

Obviously you did not went if for the gamble but to make some decent "risk free" interest. Buying individual stocks is just retarded in that case. Why not just get the S&P500 or the MSCI World?
If you are in for the long term, stocks are really not that complicated.

It triggers me so hard when kids get free cash and don't even make their research on what to do with it.

>You have to remember the depression was caused in part to due government apathy towards market trends and increasing economic isolationism. We don't really have that right now.

This isn't true. This is the false Keynesian narrative. There is a reason why it was only Austrians who predicted the 2008 collapse. You are going to lose everything because you follow the mainstream economic model that infinite debt and zero-percent interest rates are sustainable.

There was a depression after the Spanish Flu, the little depression of 1920, but it came and went away so quickly that the government didn't have time to pass stimulus measures. It was the stimulus measures that hindered the economic recovery and _sustained_ the Great Depression. Look into this.

Speaking as a miserable rat ass law student at a not T14, a law degree can be useful but only if you get hired on at Biglaw or if you avoid the traditional practice of law entirely. If I had to work in a hospital every day I’d kill myself but bitches do love a doctor.

I have no idea where you get this from. It just reached seven-year highs, and inflation hasn't even begun to set in yet, because people aren't spending the new currency into the economy. Even Bank of America is predicting $3000 gold. If you had bought the GDXJ at $22 you would have already doubled your money.

Understand the fundamentals and you will perceive why. Listen to what Mike Maloney and Peter Schiff have to say. Hyperinflation is unstoppable now. As I've said, I've given you a fair warning, my responsibility to you is concluded. It isn't my duty to sell you gold.

You seem to have gobbled up every piece of trash being shilled on /biz/ in the last month, and well, you can see the results of that.

GTFO of your oil and airline plays, the timeline for recovery on those is longer than you think. The rest you might be able to get back to breakeven on. Doesn't look like you had a big stack to lose, so take your relatively cheap object lesson on investing in things you don't understand, and don't fuck it up next time.

Bluechip dividends are safe OP. If anything I'd see if the oil stocks pump next week then sell them off, they're a bit risky. Airlines are pretty safe because they always get welfare bucks from the government but you might not see a return for a few months. You're going to be waiting a while to see ANY returns, really. The Chinese Virus hit pretty hard and it's probably going to be a full 18 months before we fully recover.
