    Banks and American express is where I put most of the money. I might buy airlines after maybe July.

    I wish I had kept my Spydr etf and couple homedepot stocks. Ah well

    This crisis just shows how important an emergency fund is. Keep it in a high yield savings account (think AMEX and Goldman Sachs and CIT have good rates) and continue to add to it.

    CIT has been my go-to, it was up to like 3.05 or something at its peak. Only downside is that it takes forever for push and pull transfers. I dont know what you guys use for checking but All America Bank is pretty nice if you make a lot of small transactions. If you do 10/month, your checking account (up to 10k) has an interest of 1.6%. I usually buy a gatorade or smoothie at my gym enough to hit that number.

    Even at that rate it's better than most 12 or 24 month CD ladders.

    Sach is back above $3.00 right now. Still not too late on a VERY high dividend paying stock.

    God. My Discover APY TANKED from 2.2 last year to 1.15

    I'm not getting SHIT. For reference I'm getting somewhere around $115-120 with $115K. At 2.2 I was pulling @140-148 with just $70K.

    FUUUCK. I don't want to leave Discover because their customer service is the best of all the banks and not for $5-$10 more doesn't justify it for me.

    My Discover savings account did the same thing. It's at 1.15% now.

    I also have a Savings account with TAB Bank. Been steadily getting over 2% for a yearish now

    Almost even again and even positive on one of my investment portfolios. That's why buying even when it's dipped is good and to buy ETFs/index funds.

    I bet a correction is coming this week. Small correction of maybe 3% to erase last week of gains

    What? It's a REIT so they have to have dividends... 90% of profit is given back annually
