Any reaction to a prediction on Covid will turn around fast since every prediction so far has been wrong.
Observations from the heartland....folks are back to pretty much normal with the exception of big businesses with huge offices and they are working from home
Retailers are so fucked. Inventory is terrible. They have not figured how to live under nanny rules and they are making it uncomfortable for shoppers.....if they dont get it figured out fast, the days of bricks and mortar mega stores is over...Scheels in OP looks like someone depopulated all the fishing lures, empty shelves, lots of people in store.
Wife said after he first real trip into OP to shop says it was very uncomfortable going into stores where they have mask police and distance cops telling people what to do and watching like everyone is a criminal carrier of the black plague. [Reply]

I'm learning as I go, but I'm up 19% even after the past 2 days. I dumped a couple of stocks yesterday that I didn't love long term like AAL, and bought more NKLA on the dip. [Reply]

5 figures + ~3 months --> ^425% --> trail hits --> 3 bed/2ba brick w/ attached 2 car in 45. Carpet, flooring, & paint in August --> til tha sweat drop down my ballz. Good chunks of Disney and Spy riding in the green to pay the looters in suits and Ford just does what Ford do, drool on itself while watching NKLA pound its wife.
I'd like to thank God, Jesus, cheap hookers, a lot of bourbon, my bankers, and last but not least the got dam Rona! [Reply]

In the short/intermediate term probably not. Ag-everything right now is ass. I can’t imagine forestry is better. Commercial/Home turf doesn’t move enough dollars to move the needle.
I’d pick them over Agco or CNH, but expecting them to outperform the market is a big ask in their environment.
This good man spelled Hell to the Nope wrong. [Reply]

Just bought 200 TWTR calls with a $34.50 strike that expire tomorrow for 125 at .18 and 75 at .14
Damn. That’s a nice hall
Question though. If you buy your calls but end of closing for a loss, won’t you incur a wash sale? I’m always hesitant to close a position and open a new one within 30 days because of this. . Am I missing something? [Reply]

Options don't generate wash sales and I bought different ones, not the same.
Options generate "gross proceeds" reports on your tax forms. It can be a real pain in the ass at tax time if you are sloppy at records or have to do it your self.
Most brokerage firms now do a great job of summarizing your options purchase and sales.
If your options expire worthless, you technically don't have a sale take place, just an expired worthless option. [Reply]
