Here is where I’m at. I know very little about the stock market and investments so about 10 years ago I started paying into this.

Lost $20K from Monday to Friday this week in my 401K . Down $67K from the Feb 14th high. For most small investors that would mean they lost everything. I'm still not panicking. Time is your best friend when playing this game.

Meh. The world will end in 10 years anyway. I will buy and hold to the bottom.

one of the nice things about some blue chips. we have some of this , AT&T , Johnson and Johnson, and a couple other chips. mainly for the yields. don't gamble too much other than Netflix which is up over 3600% in last 10 years. Home Depot has done well for us, Caterpillar also. Harley Davidson was one of our biggest losers.

Index funds include REITS , Precious Metals , S%P 500, Russell 2000 , International stocks. all of which is with Vanguard. pretty diversified.

Index funds are getting killed right now. They are good in an up market

A little misleading. The dividend yield is based on the current stock price. Six months ago, when the stock was at $80.00, the dividend yield was 3.2%. The dividend per share has gone from $ 2.88 per share in 2015 to $ 3.48 in 2020. In that same time frame the stock has fallen from $ 92.00 to $ 47.00. So you lost $ 45.00 per share on the stock but made $ 15.48 per share on the dividend. Again a little misleading because this was a $ 60.00 stock three weeks ago.

Sounds like UPS stock

Exactly, UPS had a 4.5% yield last week when it was chased under $88.00

There why I grabbed a few shares

UPS has support at the $83.00 level. I'm setting some buy orders at that level.

They just got upgraded a few days ago

If I was sure of that stock price I would buy some $83.00 puts, but they are too expensive and who knows what the Fed or the White House is willing to do to prop up this market. If allowed to run it's course, we would see S&P 2600 and Dow at 23,000, possibly lower if the virus causes people to stay away for work for extended time.
