FYI, Patterson has options to purchase 570,000 shares. He's got interests in this outcome beyond the science; possibly explains his "distancing" from the company as of late.

What's your prediction for tomorrow.  I am hoping it does exactly what it has done the last two trading days.  Drop down to around $5.10 so I can scoop up some shares and then trade them at the end of the day at around $5.50.  The late push tomorrow might even see it go to $6.00.

Well as long as we’re hoping...   I hope it spikes to 10ish range, I sell about 10% of what I have and pull out a tidy profit from my total investment.  Tuesday it takes another spike from the good news report to low 20’s and we all start talking about our million dollar number again.

I think we hit 6 tomorrow. If the results are great on Tuesday then 10 is in play.

I think a strong morning in the 6 range. I could see it spiraling upward, but would be very suprised (and a buyer) on any dip.

Good article on the Fed and how they'll inevitably buy stocks. The tail is wagging the dog and I suppose this is the problem with a PE guy at the Fed. Powell associates stocks down = job losses. So instead of focusing on growth and jobs, he's focused on propping up the market and hoping that trickles through to employment.

I didn't read the article--but if your cliff notes version is what it boils down to--i think thats a horrid plan.  Huge corporations are not concerned with employment--they are concerned with keeping both present and future costs down--which generally is more supportive of automation than it is employment.  Once these big companies get fully automated and are able to make things without the associated costs of labor/staffing/workers comp insurance--those jobs are gone forever.   If Powell and the government really cared about the employment numbers--they should be dumping money into small businesses. Thats where the employers are.

He makes a good point about why would companies give up equity when they have access to cheap debt due to the Fed buying bonds. I knew that was bad but didn't think it through to that point. With that one move the Fed turned our market into a ponzi scheme. We really are going full on Japan here, aren't we?

Well his biggest point is that they've created massive moral hazard. If they keep subsidizing debt, they're going to create bigger issues down the road so they're better off buying equity so everyone doesn't issue debt. Then also talks about how folks are invested so retirements rely on the market. Then touches on trying to stave off a recession or depression by keeping the markets up which would help employment. I just think the efficacy of that is horrendous and will lead to massive wealth redistribution. So that is why I highlight it. It's honestly not a long read so I'd recommend it.

He didn't say "prop up public sector pensions" but might as well.  If these start going belly up, requiring massive tax increases and public sector job cuts, it will be a nasty, nasty downward spiral.

Fed is anti vol

at all costs smooth out the peaks and troughs. The problem is once they step in they can never stop out.

how in the world can they raise rates when the entire world owes a #### ton of $$$s

despite what they’ve said, I think negative rates are a 50/50 proposition on a 5 year time horizon. They’ve repeatedly said XYZ is off limits and then ended up doing XYZ (under the name ABC).

intersting times!

This past week, added some banking stocks:

• Sold my 1 share of Google at 1512 (made $3 of profit). I decided to share because unless I was going to own more than a handful, I didn't see the benefit and moved it elsewhere.
• 10 shares of CITI
• 5 shares of JPM
• Added additional shares of Goldman (now own 20 shares).
• Added additional shares of Draftkings after they dropped below 30 (now own 30 shares).
• Added 3 shares of FB (now own 5).

Next moves: I would like to add more FB and banking stocks. I would like to get my FB number up to 10-15 shares and have just started my dabbling into banking stocks. Short-term, they are all questionable. Longer term, which is what I generally lean on, I feel good. My goal for EOY is to have 20 shares of FB, 25 C, and 25 JPM. Not sure if I will get there as I tend to invest savings, but I am planning on being as aggressive as possible.

How am I looking? So far, on the year, I'm up about 7%. Always looking for advice.

I have 15k shares and I would sell a similar amount. That would not cover my initial investment (got in later) but would be a good start.

Feel like this happens often.  6:30-7:00 am and the bid ask is similar to what you posted.  Then it runs up to reality.  No idea why.

Maybe I read more into the phrasing than was intended. 

If I'm talking about being free and clear and free rolling, that implies a certain level of comfort. Imo. 

For me to keep that much in any one company, I'd have over $3M in equities. Maybe before retirement, but not yet.

Plenty of benefit owning one share of google.  I'd rather be diversified among AMZN, Google, and FB than all in FB.  Up 10% is the same weather it's one share of Google or 5 shares of FB.  One share of Amazon went from 1600-1800 to 3000-3400 in a year.

Personally I think Disney is a huge risk without much upside in the next 2 years.  I bought earlier in the year in the 90s and sold around 115.  We could very easily see the 90s again once their earnings are announced especially with any market pull back.

UK’s Synairgen claims ‘major breakthrough’ treatment

British pharmaceutical company Synairgen claimed its new respiratory coronavirus treatment has reduced the number of hospitalized Covid-19 patients needing to be placed on ventilators.

The drug, SNG001, is a formulation of a naturally occurring antiviral protein called interferon beta, inhaled directly into the lungs via a nebulizer. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 101 patients between March 30 and May 27, the treatment produced a 79% lower risk of patients developing severe disease than those given a placebo. Synairgen also claimed that patients treated with SNG001 “were more than twice as likely to recover (defined as ‘no limitation of activities’ or ‘no clinical or virological evidence of infection’) over the course of the treatment period.”

The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and the full data has not been made publicly available, but Synairgen CEO Richard Marsden said the trial could “signal a major breakthrough” in the treatment of hospitalized Covid-19 patients. —Elliot Smith

 

Looks like they beat CYDY to the punch.
