FEMA did nothing during Katrina so after 5 days Bush had to fire the head of FEMA.
You mentioned Generac here on Feb 15 during the Big Texas Freeze. After some study, on Feb 16 I bought some GNRC at about $350, and it's $453.75 now -- up 29.6%.
My wife has an on-line trading account. As far as I know, she can buy a single share of any stock without paying a premium. There's not even a transaction fee.
She's been beating the S&P 500 by a decent margin for the last 2-3 years. She thinks she's cool.
She follows some hotshot Yankee investment kid on YouTube (I can't listen to him; he talks 400 miles an hour), and gets some ideas from him. Also, one of our daughters is Lady Midas; everything she touches turns into money. She advises her mama, and it's usually good advice.
All that said, my wife has made a few poor choices. In the spring of 2020 she bought Carnival Cruise Lines on its way down. But it went WAY down, and hasn't come back up a lot yet. Maybe never will, what with the new world order and all. But she still refuses to sell??? She's heavy into some high performers, though, which more than offset the occasional blunder.
I'd be happy to tell y'all what she's buying (and selling) if you'd like. And the name of the YouTube kid.
I'm mostly in Texas Instruments (TXN), Microchip (MCHP), Generac (GNRC), and Marathon Petroleum (MPC). Thankfully, all have done well over the last year. And wife and I share some Walgreens (WBA), which I hate, but wife and daughter talked me in to it.
All that said, we're really just dabblers. Couldn't buy a house with what we have in E-Trade. A new truck, maybe -- but I NEVER buy new vehicles.
My ex co-driver was from Oklahoma. His Daddy moved to Checotah in the 1930s. It was a boom town because of the oil and there was one killing per week.
When he lived in Oklahoma they tapped into an Arco oil pipeline and were siphoning off oil. They filled a 1,500 gallon tank with oil. He told me the inspectors were walking the pipeline route looking for the leak. Not too sure how they didn't spot that big oil tank out there unless is was well hidden. ;)
All that said, we're really just dabblers. Couldn't buy a house with what we have in E-Trade.
Same here, I bought AA American Airlines at +-17per, it has jumped to like 22 now and then, but lately more like 19, and BBBY Bed bath Beyond at 24, it jumped to 44 one time but fell again, wish I had ben paying attention but still could sell for more than what savings account pays.
When I buy stock, I spend about a week looking for big losers, and then look for what is trading below average for that stock, then see if they are being sued or indicted (lol), then buy crazy low shit with leftovers from big (100x) buy.
Buying certified pre-owned rides has served us very, very well for 20+ years now.
Although today, I'm not sure that leasing a vehicle wouldn't be the best way to go for a young person who wouldn't have a clue as to repairing any problem under the hood. Who knows?
