Trying not to go with companies that might not make it out of this thing intact is the hardest call. Airbus(EADSY) is one of those, and my only real flop. I bought it around 21 and its at about 14 now. And its upside was 35 or 1.5 times. I chose it over american companies because i dont think all the airlines survive, and I am not sure which ones make it out, and the buy in was under 50 per share.

so i sold both dell and angi's list after hitting my personal targets, airbus just broke back over the 21. Angi's list gain was 130%, Dell's was about 80% I sold because they both are in the trading range pre-covid, and I am expecting that there will be another drop where i move it all into a standard mutual fund for long term stability and growth. I bought some penny stocks too, again nothing crazy risky in terms of what I put in, but one I bought at 29 cents is now over a dollar, and the weirdest one was a company I bought at 40 cents, and then they did a reverse stock split, or consolidation, and for every 20 shares they merged them and gave you 1 at the equivalent price. Crazier still is if you had 1 over the 20 they rounded up and put 1 more stock on. Right now it's trading at about 9 per share which is a positive, but not as much as 40cent to $9 would make you think.
Overall, my trades were really penny ante compared to what real investors could do for funds, so I guarantee that ALOT of rich people got alot richer still through this little dip. Take that you conspiracy gurus!!!
