I think apple should make a big move with all of these companies with good synergies with apple products at their lower valuations due to the disruption in service.

The whale for apple to swallow would be Disney, It would funnel apples TV platform watched an help them launch any new platform like their glasses.
Tesla ... Tesla makes 80 of all of their component as opposed to other care makers i would think would make this an attractive offer for apple.

5-6 million people will lose their jobs in connection with the pandemic , I have wrote extensively on the impact automation will have costing 60-70 million jobs losses by 2030. I keep riding the cash rich techs microsoft and apple. I was hoping American Water Works Company Inc would go below 100, but i didn't a have cash that day. I have added a old friend KO to the buy and selling rotation though that are saying it getting harder to source. This really has been a cash cow, we all knew the market would fall, but at least i know the reason why this time, and who will have cash and a job when its over.

KO down to 42.81

I was ready to pounce first thing today at 44.30 but the overnight markets showed everything was dropping a bit.
Thinking of taking some KO Monday.

Thoughts anyone?

I bought and sold 2500 shares today of KO, I am a little biased because I love this product, I buy the mexico real sugar in bulk at costco On Saturday, Berkshire Hathaway revealed in its third-quarter earnings release that the company's cash pile has ballooned to a new record. The company, now has $128.2 billion in cash on hand. I have a hard time not seeing buffet buying more at this fire sale, I don't see them changing any of their operation or incurring new costs due to the pandemic. Their strength is their distribution network, with so many people out of jobs, it will be an employers market. People who would pay a huge markup at the bar or restaurants are getting take out or drinking at home, coke is still making their money but selling directly to the consumer and the dividend is sold with interest rates so low.

U.S. stock futures traded lower on Sunday night following sharp gains last week while the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. keeps rising at an alarming rate. Monday is a no go unless their is more Gov stimulas, maybe ill buying at 3:59.

The second major threat at the Monday meeting is that Saudi Arabia not appear to be at all convinced that it needs to change its current tactics. Its targeted goals of regaining market share, forcing Russia to come to the table and bringing non-OPEC producers such as U.S. shale to their knees are working well. Several Saudi officials have stated that they are willing to discuss a new agreement but only under the conditions that potential production cuts will be on the shoulders of all, not only Saudi Arabia, Russia, and UAE. In this light - Trump’s demand for a more than 10 million bpd cut from Russia and Saudi Arabia is unrealistic, to say the least.

Monday will be interesting

I just talked about oil in another thread.

Another point in regards to the oil situation. Neither of the players are going to let Trump tell them what they can or cant do. I have zero confidence that Trump will be able to broker some sort of deal. They probably look at him as a short term partner. Also the demand worldwide is going to significantly drop and then there will need to be cuts larger than what they are even supposedly talking about.

Nothing like free market capitalism....if you cant beat them.....put tariffs on their products.

I think a tariff on oil is not a good plan. Let the price of gas fall below a buck a gallon. US companies will just file bankruptcy and someone will buy them at a discount with less debt and then let them compete without a tariff. Bankers take the haircut not the public. Takes something like 20 jobs to install a rig and 1 to maintain it so I dont want to hear about the job losses.

We have bigger problems than protecting oil and cruise lines right now. In fact low gas costs would actually be a help to the economy. I will be shocked if Russia and Saudi comes to some sort of agreement that is large enough to prop oil prices. Demand is gong to be low so the cuts would need to be drastic to match demand.

Interesting Warren Buffet is not buying but selling airlines DAL to LUV.
Warren Buffett Buys Kroger Stock, Pares Apple Stock
Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stakes in Apple (AAPL) by 3.7 million shares, or a 1% cut; in Wells Fargo (WFC) by 55 million shares, a 14% cut; and in Bank of America (BAC) by more than 2 million shares, a fractional cut.Feb 14, 2020

Because the sales of Southwest and Delta took Berkshire's overall position in the two airlines below the 10% threshold, the insurance giant won't necessarily have to disclose further sales immediately. We therefore won't necessarily know anything more about what Buffett does with his airline stocks until disclosures for the quarter ending June 30 come out in mid-August.

Tuesday buy and sell MSFT, KO and Kroger Stock.

Wednesday buy and sell MSFT, KO and AQN

AQN debt is for 125,000 customer connections across seven counties in southeastern New York; its operations include 1,270 miles of water mains and distribution lines with 98% of customers in Nassau County on Long Island. I stated buying this stock at 12 and its almost back to pre pandemic prices, i own 50,000 shares and I'm going to be a buyer tomorrow.

Nassau and Suffolk counties combine to form the second-most expensive region to live for a family of four in the United States, behind Washington, D.C. On a list of the 10 most expensive places to live in the country, Long Island ranked.

Bernie Sanders drops out of the 2020 race, clearing Joe Biden's path to the Democratic nomination, Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden says he has informed his Democratic rival for the nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, that he is beginning the process of vetting potential vice presidential running mates. "I am in the process and I've actually had this discussion with Bernie because he's a friend -- we're competitors, he's a friend," the former vice president told donors during a virtual fundraiser on Friday. Please don't let the geriatric two run this country, please don't make the The White House, into a nursing home.

MSFT fucked me today, first day I didn't sell and I'm sitting on 1250 shares, Oil surges in sudden move toward the end of trading, production cuts eyed, maybe its time to move back into utilities.

1.“If the schedule is long, the design is wrong,” was an adage shared by SpaceX Founder and Chief Engineer Elon Musk as he waded into a range of topics on the first day of SATELLITE 2020 — from the value of a college education, management by rhyming, and updates on Starlink and Starship — while name checking everyone from Homer Simpson, Sergei Korolev, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Larry Ellison.

On the hot topic of Starlink, Musk shut down the idea that SpaceX is considering splitting it off for a potential IPO.

2.Visa (V) closed at $168.47 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.57% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.16% loss on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 0.12%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 0.33%.

Heading into today, shares of the global payments processor had lost 0.99% over the past month, outpacing the Business Services sector's loss of 13.96% and the S&P 500's loss of 10.5% in that time.

Investors will be hoping for strength from V as it approaches its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.35, up 3.05% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $5.80 billion, up 5.61% from the prior-year quarter.

I like visa at this valuation.
