March 19, 2020

“We are committed to helping to supply as many tablets as possible as demand for this treatment accelerates at no cost,” said Brendan O’Grady, Teva Executive Vice President, North America Commercial. “Immediately upon learning of the potential benefit of hyroxychloroquine, Teva began to assess supply and to urgently acquire additional ingredients to make more product while arranging for all of what we had to be distributed immediately.”

given so many depressed stocks, which stocks are very attractive for their dividend yield and likely to bounce really hard when this covid 19 is over?

I dun think div stocks will bounce back a lot after the crash. slow and steady usually.
this will allow me to buy in slowly evy month.
the big names alrdy about 4% DY. I think is good time to pick up JNJ, 3M, at low price. if price go down further, I can continue to buy in somemore.

if u like fast up kind, should look at growth stocks instead. fb, amzn, aapl, msft

dun think to quit job, unless u have big capital to hoot.
all the talk abt quitting job are juz marketing plot of course sellers. if so good they can quit job, they will not be selling courses (which is in fact another job). they shud teach for free.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon Gets Raise After Rocky Year

Mar 21, 2020

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive David Solomon got a 19% raise in 2019, a message likely to resonate poorly among traders and bankers who saw their own bonuses cut and who are facing a long period of economic uncertainty.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. gave CEO James Dimon, the highest-paid bank chief, a 1.6% raise to $31.5 million. Goldman's close rival, Morgan Stanley, cut the pay of CEO James Gorman 7% despite record annual revenue.

I think if one has about 100k warchest, making 500k shouldn't be a problem in this climate. To retire, that will take maybe another crisis to turn that 500k into 2.5m...

Macy’s, Inc. Provides Update in Response to COVID-19 Outbreak

Suspension of Quarterly Cash Dividend
March 20, 2020

The company is suspending its regular quarterly cash dividend payout beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The company’s previously announced dividend payment occurring on April 1, 2020, is not affected by the suspension. Shareholders of record as of March 13, 2020, will receive the first quarter dividend payment as scheduled.

Additionally, the company is reviewing all non-essential operating expenses for opportunities to lower spending and is reducing its capital expenditures in 2020.

which is one reason why I look at strong cash flow and dividends to determine whether a company is good anot.
