It seems super unhealthy. But honestly not surprised if we tout some "almost out of the woods" idea and then ppl drop their guard and continue to spread the virus. We just need two fucking weeks of nationwide agreement on social distancing and get this shit over with. I love some of the volatility, but it's retarded.

i mean, kinda. but the virus would definitely have further outbreaks, it's pretty much inevitable until we have a good portion of our population with antibodies. it's too contagious and global. so alternatively, the only other way to quasi-contain would be to keep our borders closed/vigorously guarded... which isn't going to happen. i'm surprised we haven't just accepted the situation and prepared for gradual cv spread, instead of false hope that it's going to die out if we have a shutdown for 1.5 months.

and yeah, i like some volatility, but regular circuit breakers is a bit much.

i find it funny that i sold rtx at like 9.9% for the day, and then it hits 15%. good for them, i'll just have to wait to jump back in...

it's all just funny since i played ratheon for a long time, and then avoided them to play utx before the merger... and ended up screwed (well, not really. but it wasn't the favorable split/etc i expected) because the rate wasn't what i anticipated. not sure if i misread or had bad data...

right but 2 weeks at home would GREATLY reduce any "super spreading" and new outbreaks.
NYC is a huge place.
If they're having trouble with this I would imagine other areas would be even worse unless we slow it the fuck down.
 
Picked up Inovio. They put in an application for DNA vaccine for Corona Virus.

Been following these drug companies that have any positive Corona news. Been trying to get in on them early. Basically gambling to see who wins the race.
 
Get the hell away from INO that's a fad stock lol
 
Already up in it. I watch those closely and will dump if I have too.
if youre up thats a great reason to sell lol.
Will tank at some point before you can "follow" and/or while market is closed.
This is a nothing company riding a fad.
I'm also short Moderna on insider selling.

edit: down 3% since then -_-

VXX is only down 7% todsy which leads me to believe we're giving back some of these gains. On such a huge rally VXX should be down 10% or more. So either VXX is overpriced or the volatility players are ahead of the market about to do a little giveback to correspond.

Anyone have a pro Pleoton take to counterbalance by negative view? My gut says short big, but I am afraid to bet against products beloved by hot women lol.

How do you know though? Like this Akers Biosciences for example. Seems pretty meh, closed at $1.90 on Friday. But then wait, they announced "progress" in their C-19 testing or whatever so it opens over $3 and is now $5.25 at the moment. Feels like garbage to me, like one of those stocks that falls back to $2 by the end of the week. Like that Biomerica, that went up to about $16 for "shipping C-19 etc" news, and now it's like $6. I'd love to know how to track these garbage C-19 related stocks and then sell them before they crash down.

Tbh, this extreme absurdity reminds me of the cryptocurrency nonsense. Where there are extremely dumb spikes, and then before you now it a huge drops in a stock.
 
to be fair, that's kind of how biotech is. it's amplified a bit due to the cv fixation, but even in stable markets biotech tends to be spiky/scammy as fuck.

although, much of the scammy part is dilution.

I mean, if I had to argue the other side I'd point out people are fucking shook by this event and the idea of them all going back to spin classes where 50 different humans are panting and sweating on each other in a small room could be unlikely. Yeah, folks will want to go back outside once they can this summer they also might still be taking steps like working out at home instead of spin class going forward. Especially folks 40+ who are seeing their peers dying.

ok, but i've never seen a better time for bike riding in my life.

These folks don't want to go biking outdoors. Besides the really serious cyclists who use it for training during bad weather we are talking about the folks who spend a shit ton of money to drive somewhere so they can ride a stationary bike indoors in a club-like setting because they really don't like riding bikes outdoors. They like cardio work out classes, not outdoor biking.

i get that, but while there's less people outside than ever (and great weather right now, generally) and actual bikes are a lot cheaper, and peloton has supply/video issues... even some of the indoor people will just venture outdoors.

In this case I'd bet money that the number of people who turn to outdoor biking this year and the next few is far smaller than the number of folks who will invest in home workout equipment to avoid group classes. They will take the money they were spending on those classes and re-invest it in stuff like a stationary bike before they will totally change their habits and start riding outside.
 
The return euphoria is strong, but prolly built off robinhood shorts shitting themselves and covering after getting sniffed out by algos who couldn't resist, but hard to say.
 
lolz. i changed my calls to freakin' shotgun blasts from contra. feels like i should have just made spreads.
 
Well this seems like a great time to short into some naivete short squeeze/fomo buy day.

yeah, i am underwater on some covered calls from yesterday but with May expirations i am holding and expecting some better opportunities to buy to close these positions. 4+ weeks is an eternity with this volatility.
 
lolz @ uso dropping back to/under $5 and i'm still in the green due to how retarded their premiums were... yesterday.
