    If you were looking for a stock to make money on since the April lows, I can only say one word: "plastics".
    Specifically, Tupperware. Yes really.

    Price in April 2020 $2.52
    Price today $32.39

    What I mean is that I have FCA regulated qualifications.

    so I bought:

    BASF
    Siemens
    D Telekom
    Allianz

    I'm calling market bottom and my "Corona Virus crash" chips are now officially on the table.

    That is one bad selection of stocks.
