Please. Let’s keep politics out of this thread at all costs.Watching kernen and Sorkin regularly since Covid became a thing here--I disagree. It is supposed to be a market based channel and for many weeks--anytime Sorkin interviews any guests--Kernen would literally take any question or answer that was not pro-Trump and be completely dismissive of it in a very arrogant and condescending manner. Sorkin is a well respected and established journalist that doesn't need to have his co-worker repeatedly try to be dismissive and condescending to his interviews as he's doing them. He would always just take it to keep the peace--and Kernen would just keep pushing his luck and press his buttons. Go back and watch the interview that Kernen did with Trump in the past--it's beyond obvious that he's a major Trump fanboy. By the way--even though I'm not a fan of Trump--I have nothing against people being supportive of him. Who I don't appreciate are the supporters who literally try to drown or eliminate even the notion that he and his policies are above scrutiny. That's how Kernen has been--and he has absolutely abused his position to support his buddy.
Kernen doesn't mention that the Dow was up to 29500 before this mess. After 10 trillion dollars of stimulus, a fed that has lowered its rates to basically zero, record high unemployment, and what will be the deaths of more Americans than we lost in in World War I --we are still 15-18% below our all time highs---and yet he and our president are calling the response to covid a success. Had our president taken this thing seriously from the beginning--like South Korea, like Taiwan, like Thailand, like New Zealand, like Iceland, like Australia--we would be in a far better place economically and medically for decades to come. However--you look at Kernen--dude acts like the US has handled it in a resoundingly successful way--when in reality--our countries/leaderships response has been one of the worst on the planet.
Anyhow--my apologies for the derailment and rant--and let's get back to stonks.
Having quit CNBC 10ish years ago, I appreciated his post from a historical look back. It was well written and informative. I think that's okay here. Some of us asked for context and he gave it.Please. Let’s keep politics out of this thread at all costs.
I personally don’t like either of them. Both wankers in my book.
I guess. I am just tired...really fatigued with the politics in our country. I think a lot of us are. It’s freaking awful. Never been worse.Having quit CNBC 10ish years ago, I appreciated his post from a historical look back. It was well written and informative. I think that's okay here.

Well that was easy.Sold half earlier this afternoon at 11.50. Have the other half set to sell if it hits 12.
Same. Out of my original investment at 12.16. Keeping the profits riding.Sold 2/3 of my BLMN at $12. Going to try and squeeze a little more out of the remaining shares.![]()
No argument. But his post was appreciated by me since I had no idea why those two talking heads were barking at each other. Kernan was a horse's rear 20 years ago when I was watching this shlop regularly.I guess. I am just tired...really fatigued with the politics in our country. I think a lot of us are.

Of mine, TDOC and SE are the only "real" losers today, (but I've made some of that back by buying more SE near the low of the day). Overall, another good day.This is insane. Current holding 30 stocks. 16 are plus 5% today with several over +10%.
Just bought some TZA to sit on overnight instead of locking in profits.
Bout time. Small Caps were destroyed in MarchRussell 2K has been on fire.
Speaking of, it looks like Bloomberg has extended the hours Jonathan Ferro does in the mornings. He has been excellent.No argument.

Not really.So is CYDY closing the day under 3 a big deal or no?
TZA should be ready to hit since I closed my position today. Gave back some TVIX profits there. Should have followed my gut and jumped on FAS last week. Going to try and see if this financials run has more throttle to boost yet.This is insane. Current holding 30 stocks. 16 are plus 5% today with several over +10%.

I'd keep it, maybe rellacate some of your sweet gainz back into the SP 500. A lot of those names still have a ton of growth to get to highsAbout 15%. The rest is in total market index funds or bonds. I'm about 80% stock/20% bonds total.
Hang out in here and you'll be doubling those gains.I just looked at my TSP for the first time since very early this year.
Including today's gains, I'm down about 9% from the high but about 9% up from one year ago. Up about 35% from the low two months ago. Been a crazy ride, but have to keep perspective and be happy with 9% increase in one year.
I finished the day up only a quarter point but my 3-5 biggest holdings were up 10%, 2.5 and 3.5. Worthless stupid amazon.STONKS GO UP!!!!
I held for awhile and sold when it was in the $60’s. I looked at buying back in last week but it seems they are heavy in Retail from what I read which may end up being fine long run. Instead of jumping back in I went with the Vanguard reit fund.Anyone into O?

Seemed like a concerted attack on the stock today. I'm still in. So many positive developments on the horizon.So is CYDY closing the day under 3 a big deal or no?
Will be interesting to see what happens. I've seen some say these folks are the one propping up the market. Still don't think that is enough especially with the moves overnight. But in my experience, HFs are likely licking their chops at this retail money. I wonder how sticky this money is. Did folks put this money in to keep it there or are a lot of folks going to take money out when they can go put it on red in the casino?A whole lotta this going on right now:

The interest rate to borrow shares to short didn't go up so I don't think anyone was attacking it. People are frustrated with Nader's empty promises and even more frustrated with the trials progressing slow as molasses. Hopefully, they'll figure out a way to speed up enrollment. But it's difficult with remdesivir being declared the SOC and the patient having a 33% chance of getting a placebo if they agree to the leronlimab trial. Maybe they'll run low on remdesivir so patients won't have remdesivir as an option. It's difficult to see much good news happening soon with the exception of Patterson possibly getting published. All of that uplisting, investment, and partnership talk is more than likely exaggerated if not completely fabricated. All 3 are impossible to disprove.Seemed like a concerted attack on the stock today. I'm still in. So many positive developments on the horizon.

I've been pretty much all C fund since late March. Should have shifted some into S earlier this month.dgreen said:I just looked at my TSP for the first time since very early this year.

Totally understood--and my intention was to comment on the build up that occured for several weeks that led to the back and forth between Sorkin and Kernen today on one of the primary stock networks. I thought I skated that edge decently well--so I apologize if it came across as random political bantering in the stock thread. That certainly was not what I was aiming to do.Todem said:Please.

And they tend to lead in an economic recovery. And a lot of the stimulus was geared towards smaller businesses.Todem said:Bout time. Small Caps were destroyed in March
buy stonks. they go up.Sandeman said:Have some pretty significant cash proceeds from the sale of our house. Let's call it very low 6 figures. Want to use it for some renovations to our new home, but we may not spend it for a while still. It's in WF right now but can move to Fidelity quickly. Getting 1.x% interest. Thoughts on what I should do with it for the short term?
I've been consciously ignoring mine. Check quarterly (so end of June). But I suspect my civilian account will be similar due to contributions. The military account is probably still significantly down. But that's just a guess.dgreen said:I just looked at my TSP for the first time since very early this year.

For most of us who jumped on the @chet train early this has always been a long play with HIV then Breast Cancer (possible other cancers too) as the drivers. Covid possibilities just got us all excited the timeline might move up but I’m still taking the long lens view on this.One thing that has me worried was this.Don Hutson said:The interest rate to borrow shares to short didn't go up so I don't think anyone was attacking it.

"CYDY also indicated the positive development that FDA was more interested in them finishing the Phase II trial than giving them blanket compassionate use for leronlimab in severe COVID-19 patients. Because of the recent confusion from the vaccine and hydroxy-chloroquin pronouncements, versus the trials, and the Remedesivir trial issues, the FDA is getting more conservative. This FDA administration clearly wants results from a well controlled trial which they agreed the CYDY protocol meets."
If this drug was doing really well against Covid-19, I don't think the FDA would ever consider doing this. Over 100K deaths. If the CDC delayed on this, and it goes on to show great results in Mexico, they would be crucified (especially considering that they allowed Remedesevir through). Think of all the lives it could have saved if they had granted compassionate use! How can this be spun as a positive development?
I am still holding long, but I am starting to think this may not be the miracle treatment for Covid-19.
Compassionate use only counts as anecdotal evidence. Leronlimab needs results in a placebo controlled double blind study to get credibility from the FDA and the scientific community. If people can get leronlimab with compassionate use, they'll never enter the study because they'll have 100% chance of getting leronlimab with compassionate use instead of the 66% chance of getting leronlimab in the placebo study. But you're right that a lot of people might be dying because of it. With 5 years of HIV trials, they know that leronlimab is extremely safe to use which would normally be the biggest reason not to rush a drug to market. Covid is moving fast so the FDA should be too.Think of all the lives it could have saved if they had granted compassionate use! How can this be spun as a positive development?
Is this true? At least as far as the IWM is concerned? The IWM was seemingly the one most left out by direct stimulus. But they benefited the most from the Fed reopening the capital markets. PPP, 75% of it had to go to payroll and most public companies that took it are being shamed. Direct payments went right to consumer. Some IWM stocks will qualify for the Main Street Lending program although I can't find exactly how many will. Even the Fed's lending program is skewed to larger corporations and IG names. But obviously the junk market getting back to normal is positive for them.And a lot of the stimulus was geared towards smaller businesses.
Right now I'm all about Covid as far as CYDY is concerned. I'll probably keep some money in CYDY for the long haul because of HIV and cancer but that is a decision I'll make down the road.For most of us who jumped on the @chet train early this has always been a long play with HIV then Breast Cancer (possible other cancers too) as the drivers.
