Economy stonks v27: banks, the kings of vega

Man NVO has to be up close 50% since I added it to my watchlist.

I even debated last time I broke even with BABA selling BABA and buying NVO.

Now BABA is back to like $80 and NVO is skyrocketing.

lol PACW dumping after hrs on sale/bk exploration.
Got super lucky.
Had bought a ton of ZION into the close expecting insider buys. Sold half for a minor gain. Then news hit.
Managed to short a lil pacw at 5.1 and closed at 4.20 to offset the loss on my remaining ZION that fell w/ the pacw news

Banks are getting butchered as usual. An utter mess is an understatement lulz.

This could be a real catalyst for butt corn to go a lot higher.

Damn I balked at WAL under 20. Had a deadcat limit set for 17.7 and didn't get there and then the stock rebounded 20% off lows.

these stocks are all over the place.
WAL recovered immensely (up 25% from aftermarket lows), while ZION is same price it traded aftermarket lol
FHN destroyed too after TD ejectedfrom takeover.

On the flipside I'm hating myself because I debated going into ARNC again on apollo takeover rumors, but pussied out with the timing of market turmoil. Up 28% premarket on a deal happening lol
 
I dipped my toes in slightly with NVO after the 5% drop. I couldn't resist.

Wegovy (weight loss drug) missed sales estimates because of supply capacity problems. It was still up 225% Y/Y to DKK4.56B. Net sales grew 27% Y/Y to DKK53.37B. Operating profit up 31%, EPS up 41%.

They've got a license to print $ with all the fatties out there.
 
FT reporting WAL looking at a sale too.
I had shorted a little at $26 premarket but close already for a small gain and now this hits and halted @ $20 lol

edit lol fuck now 16
 
Finally some movement on shop to. When should I get out!
<Dany07>
It will prolly run to 60 imo but crapshoot in this market. Highest it could go is 70-75 where past bottoms are max resistance.
Funny that Cathie has been selling it while buying garbage.

Shocked CNBC still hasnt mentioned WAL potential sale/bk
Maybe tryna stop fear.

Icahn is a goof, but not a fraud I don't think that is priced into this stock
 
ffs, this bank madness has gone into turbo mode. i'm having a problem keeping up and shit's halted every few seconds.

honestly surprised that jpow, yellen, biden, and fdic have dropped the ball this hard. figured they'd make some kind of guarantee or bring back the gfc moratorium on shorting banks.
 
INSANE TRADING
Shorted the WAL news
Then reverse and slammed thru buys on ZION and CMA when it got denied.
Closing out this crap and taking a nap lol
 
Added more OXY. I'm done building the position. Final cost per-share = $59.61. Still plan on saying adios when (if?) it hits $70.

Also added more SCHW and URI.
