I picked the wrong 48 hours to not be paying attention. Time to go shopping with Todem's list and see what's still on sale.

@Todem what's your opinion on MDT? I own a bunch from the years I worked there and it seems to have been just teetering up and down lately. Not sure if I should cash some out of there to give me cash to play with and invest elsewhere. Just not sure how much upswing they still have.

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!

So, you're staying the course? I'm just glad I'm only a couple thousand invested at this point. This #### stinks.

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. 

 
Ex-dividend date on DHT is 5-18-20.  Can someone explain when I need to buy and how long I need to hold to capture that dividend?

This may be regional but in expensive areas like the Bay Area, I think this is a longer term trend.  Companies can keep a much smaller space and have it be flex if people want to come in but I think they will want to save costs now that they see the WFH thing can work  Office space is super expensive in some places.  Im pretty convinced tech companies in the Bay Area are going to lead this route.

Just made a killing on a JLL put, its still dropping but got out 100% up.  If the price of that stock starts to climb again, I may try this again.

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.

Jefferson the Caregiver said:
Google and Facebook are already telling employees to work from home for the rest of the year and they likely won't be the last to do this.  Just feels like things are going to be more permanently changed as this plays out. Obviously some are locked into long term leases but will see how it shakes out.

On top of that, there are a lot of startups in the Bay Area that are not going to make it through this, office space is going to be way more abundant than it has been in a long time.

Yep.

This is one way COVID is changing things positively.

 
Solid day today and active with 29 trades.  Interested in what the outcome is once Fidelity posts numbers.

Again, huge shouted to @Todem, looking forward to locking in my 13% gain on MGM tomorrow.

 
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'm glad I didn't try to mess with this one. Up 24% at 11am, down 20% at 1pm?! :lmao:

I disagree wholeheartedly. If you listen to CEOs of companies like Cisco, Twitter, etc... tectonic shift taking place. Commercial real estate is possibly going to be the biggest loser, imo.

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'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.

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.  :violin:

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.

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.

What means #2

Maybe. I don’t know enough about it. What does AR training do that a YouTube type video doesn’t? Will Zoom or Teams add in this feature? I haven’t AR much but I know Apple is in on it and Amazon has it in their shopping app.  Can these guys be anything more than a niche player?
Click to expand...
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.
