This AM it tanked, so I went in. It popped up decently quite quickly. So now I have another decent income stream. I don't hold a bunch of energy plays BUT now seems like refiners were oversold. Check them out with caution.
I'm down less then 1%, I'm up over 5% YTD. 2 of my stocks were up more then 1%. yesterday.
I put in a small lowball order for SWKS. Looks interesting.

I didn't see this when I posted this morning. I had forgotten about your earlier buy. Interesting...

Who knows? Div cuts are always possible. I've been through a couple. BP is hated right now because of the golf spill, but they are a big company. I bought at $45 just before the oil crash. This year I doubled down at $28. If it gets below $29 I'll buy more.
YMMV

Talking heads saying to expect more down side tomorrow as traders get caught short and have to cover.

I'll be keeping an eye on a few items.

Doesn't make sense.
I was going to say... Short squeeze drives prices up, at least temporarily.
I'd think if anything, more people would flock to the dollar and US markets.

Right...someone's thinking of Margin Calls and Sell Stops.
You want defensive stocks in this environment.

Oops. That's BCS. Autocorrect got me.
Well, it's a good thing I cancelled that limit order for BCS. it opened much lower today. Still no purchases here.
Two days of losses and we have people speculating that the biggest bear market since 2008 is looming ahead.
I call [censored]. Two weeks from now we will be right back to where we were.

Agreed. VXUS (vanguard total international) was at a similar price in March. We haven't had a catastrophic drop. Its just that they need shtuff to talk about when the news runs 24/7.
Don't pay attention to the noise.

If you can believe the VIX, then markets are apparently looking at this as relatively short term...a financial reaction to a political event where there's a strong possibility that it's a bit of an overreaction.
The end of the world wouldn't stop me from dollar cost averaging or putting smaller lump sums in relatively conservative and appropriate vehicles. So, Brexit and whatever happens around it probably won't either.

The same thing is going to happen once the US elects our next president.
