Earnings and fundamentals are solid for Medtronic. But if you have a ton of profit and want to diversify shedding some here is a good move to expand your portfolio.

It's essentially all profit for me as these were performance option awards. All I have to do is pay any tax on the profit above strike price (average of $74). Looked at your list from yesterday/today. Seems like most all have gone up but BLMN. Any that you still like the current buy price? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks!

Yeah. The 19th when oil settles will be telling. It didn’t start dropping last month until a few days before. Kinda crazy it’s rallying this much. Either people didn’t learn their lesson or last month was just technical with bears pushing it below zero and there was more storage than they said at Cushing. I mean there would appear to be limited downside from here with them trading near NAV. I also have no other place I want to put money to work. I mean you’re likely going to get 20-30% of your investment back by the end of the summer which brings your basis down.

Totally agree that WFH is increasing.
Hell, the slowest entity on the planet to get into the new ideas is getting on board. Not 100% telework, but even the federal government is encouraging increased WFH for the foreseeable future.
Yep.
This is one way COVID is changing things positively.

My WFH is a prison camp.
Kidding, not kidding.
But once the kids go back to school, I'm all on board.

I know it generally doesnt mean anything, but weird to see BLMN rally from down a few % to up a couple % near the end of the day, then look at after hours 20 minutes later and down 5%
Well yahoo has it down, marketwatch has it up.
I am going to do what all of you are probably screaming at me in your mind and I will ignore those.

Disregard after hours fluctuations for the most part. More than likely someone put in a low bid and it triggered when some robinhood clown hit the sell button. If it's up, then some one paid a premium. What you are seeing is the latest trade. Bid/ask is far apart after hours compared to normal casino hours..

Well as inept as Nader and the CYDY team are from a PR standpoint, at least they are better than the CODX guys. That thing just tanked $4 because they can't figure out how to get their phone working for the earnings conference call.
ETA: They can't figure out how to mute everyone, so everyone that has called in to listen is live on the call.

I have a friend who works for Credit Karma. The plan was initially to have a 2nd office in Oakland to go along with SF. Now the plan is to leave SF for Oakland and have people WFH.

I think you still need to buy it one day before the ex-date. You will still get the dividend if you sell after the record date. In this specific case, buy before 5/18/2020 and sell anytime from the 20th on.

I'm looking to research more regarding options and various strategies. Any recommendations for a beginner? I know there is a plethora of information on youtube, etc, but any that you'd personally recommend?

Don't be silly. It's a right of passage to learn options by blowing $20k on them and figuring out what the hell went wrong.
But if you want to be a wuss about it, Option Alpha on youtube has some good videos that I think do a good job of breaking it down for a beginner.

Climbing up the Walls
Well, I've taken a different right of passage. I've picked about every bad recommendation in this thread over the last few years, and probably dropped 5k cumulatively while everyone else in making mansions.
Thanks for the tip on Option Alpha, I'll check it out.

I would hope so otherwise wow, what a waste of time for whoever put together that 1800 page proposal a few days ago.CNBC reporting that the WH is becoming increasingly supportive of another round of stimulus checks.
They better not pass the part where tenants can go 12 months without paying rent and not get evicted. That......is stupid.

Chief operating officer
Insider Gregg Scarlett reports buying 25,000 shares of $BLMN for a total cost of $251,200.00
historicaly speaking he would exicute options and sell, never bought shares on the market back when they traded in the 20’s.
This sends a positive signal to me.

Here are a couple of theories circulating on the CYDY boards. I have no idea if they are true.
1. CYDY can't allow the stock to close below $3.00 if it wants to be listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq so some big investors will do what it takes to make sure it doesn't close lower than that. If a person believed this theory, they could put in a limit order at $2.90 or $2.95 and make some easy gains when the stock returned to $3.00. It was said in the morning and then the stock price did close at exactly $3.00 so maybe there is something to this theory. There were a few witnesses to a bid volume of 2 million shares at one point when the stock price was under $3.00. There were also some ask volumes of around 500,000 reported. CYDY boards are a galaxy far, far away from reliable so take those reports with a grain of salt.
2. If you put in a "good until cancelled" order to sell your CYDY stock with a limit order of $100/share, then those shares can't be shorted. I thought permission had to be given to short shares but people are saying that the big companies like Fidelity and Schwab can short shares without permission unless a limit order exists on the shares.

They're already working with a lot of those companies;
NexTech AR Solutions (NexTech) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29), an emerging leader in augmented reality for eCommerce, AR learning applications, and virtual events is pleased to announce that it has expanded its infernoAR platform integration with all major platforms including its previously announced integration with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and new integrations with Cisco Webex, BlueJeans, Google Hangouts, Google Meet, and GoToMeetings.
Agreed that CapellAmazon is in the game so not sure where this fits, hence me bringing it up. Apple just bought another media VR company. So there seems to be a market for the bigger guys to buy into? I'm pretty ignorant with the business/stock side of this stuff, but pretty interested to see where AR goes.
They also released their financials today;
Q1 2020 highlights:
-- Revenue grows 177% to $2.5 million
-- Gross Profit grows 267% to $1.3 million
-- Working Capital of $3.5 million
-- Full report has been filed and is available on SEDAR
-- Q1 earnings will be released after the close at 4:30pm
Bridge Name: Nextech AR Solutions
Again, not up to snuff on this, but remain very interested in AR/video meetings/video training areas.

Dr Yo seems to know his stuff. At least to this layman's ears he sounds intelligent. On the other hand, he could be like the imposter sign language guy at Nelson Mandela's funeral and I wouldn't know the difference.
Anyway, before I get too off topic, there is a point to my ramble.
The conspiracy theorist that I try to keep at Bay inside me screams that he is actually on the Cytodyn payroll and is the best guerrilla marketing campaign that NP is running.
If so, hats off to NP, it's good.
I mean isn't it a little odd that this anesthesiologist can't stop talking about leronlimab? A bit suspicious.

What brokerage would you guys suggest for opening an IRA to trade options? It's mostly fun money and I get this risk. Won't even be 2% of my assets, just something to play around with since I can't gamble for real. Seems like there are a ton of different opinions but hoping for something with reasonable fees and a decent mobile app if that helps.
