Stock Buy (BTFD) - JPMorgan Chase

Big banks profit margins have been under a lot of pressure with interest rates so low and pandemic woes. However JPMorgan Chase & Co. is slowly coming back from depressed levels last few months. I feel it's time to invest in the recovery trade while collecting a decent ~3.5% dividend at the same time.

Selling My Biggest Losers (BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Kimco Realty, SKT, Exxon, Ventas, PSec, Welltower)

Ouuccchhh 😭😂😅...this pandemic has devastated my high yield stock holdings! Some are down 30-60% past ytd. After much deliberation,  I've decided to unload a few of them. This is a good lesson for me to never chase too high yields (ignoring company fundamentals and market conditions) !

Here are a few :

Pandemic Lockdown - Do You have Enough Essentials to Self Quarantine 2 weeks ?

My Stock Porfolio ;-((

A breakdown of Coronavirus $2T Economic Stimulus (USA)

BTFD & STFR - Disney (DIS), Ford (F), SPG (Simon Properties), VTI (Total Index)

US Stock market amid oversold conditions has been up 3 days in a row on news of the $2Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus Package 

I took this opportunity to raise cash (STFR=>"Sell the F*cking Rally") so I can have more dry powder to BTFD on future down days ahead.  This market bottoming process is NOT finished yet by a long shot so I will have to be very patient.

Disney has been a decent performer for a while but their business has been badly affected so I will partially cash out some gains for now and wait for better entry points (very soon probably😅)

Ford is -44% down YTD with its dividend suspended!. I'm getting out while I can with a ~40% loss.😂😂😂

Simon Properties is getting killed in the retail mall sector. Current economy lockdown has many of its tenants with ZERO revenues and UNABLE to pay rents. I will trim more of my positions in this sector going forward.😂😂😂

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund represents the whole market which I believe will continue to struggle for a while so I will wait in cash for now or just trade any wild swings going forward.
