What stocks would be good to invest in now?

Seeing how Netflix is killing it, I'm thinking due to the current state of the economy I want to buy into travel company stock. I see AirBnB is tradable. Any others to look out for?

What's your time horizon? What is your risk appetite? Are you able to lose this money or is it your life savings?

[~primetime~]

Almost all of them...but I would look at airlines, and then companies that :

A. you don't think would be effected by the virus much or maybe even benefit from the virus
B. are down a great deal in value regardless of A

Neflix's stock has actually made near a recovery, so I am staying away from that even though they will probably report huge numbers and go even much higher.

here are some I've been looking at:

Twitter TWTR...(I think the virus is probably causing MORE traffic on Twitter, yet their stock is way down regardless)
Facebook FB...(same story as Twitter)
Google GOOGL...(very good time to get some cheap Google stock)
Amazon AMZN...(they aren't down much but they had to hire 100,000 more workers due to the virus, their sales are through the roof, last chance to get in for cheap)
UAL, AAL...(airlines don't meet "A", the thing with these is that you may need need to wait a while before they recover because they will definitely release poor numbers early on. But the major airlines will for fact absolutely recover. Don't mess with smaller airlines)
Walmart WMT...(this stock isn't as down as much as others but I'm sure they are going to report massive sales)
Carvana CVNA...(buying cars online...this is the wave of the future for auto sales, get in on this while it's discounted)
Disney maybe???...(Disney's streaming is probably going ape shit, problem is they have theme parks that are fcked that might offset it, I'm not sure here)

those are just some I've been messing with or considering...

Another...Beyond Meat BYND

they make fake plant based ground beef and are on the verge of a massive deal with McDonalds to release a veggie burger (The PLT)

their stock had already priced in that deal until this virus...now it's cheap and when McDonalds makes the announcement watch out

If you're having to ask this question, the most generic advice is to look at low cost ETFs and index funds that buy the whole market.

That's what I do. S&P 500 index fund. Global Equities index fund. Property Fund. etc.

[CelticBaller]

get an index fund. they'll do the work for you

I'm thinking of buying the following:

1 SPDR ETF
2 Whirlpool stocks
2 Southwest airlines stocks
1 American airlines stock

Any suggestions or reasons to avoid any of them?

I made 23% on Ford today but didn't invest much. Just threw some money at it after seeing it dip to like $4.

this is anecdotal, but when i went to the grocery store the other day, there were tons of empty shelves and like 85% of the meat area had been sold out... while the fake meat section was still fully stocked.

Walmart stock is f*cking me over. I bought it at $120 thinking it was a safe bet during a pandemic. It keeps falling, down to 110 now. Glad I only have 2 stocks of it but now I am stuck with it until it rises in the future.. Can't put that money towards a better stock like some airlines stock that is superlow currently and I don't have any more money to throw at it..

I wish I had bought 2 more Boeing rather than this Walmart trash

you have to have patience in this game...

generally speaking I am going into most of these thinking they will likely drop more and then recover over 1-2 years

But hopefully massive recoveries...American Airlines is $15 right now...if it gets back to $30 that is a 100% gain...it just might take a year or two to get that gain.
