I didn’t think that posting the presidents tweet was inherently political and I hope I didn’t piss anyone off.  
 

Serious question through, if the Saudis pull back, what to they get in return?

I mean, aren’t they trying to punish the Russians who are trying to get at US shale producers?

Was this all for nothing?

I have a feeling that there’s still shenanigans at play here.

I got in on XOM last week at 32.  Wish I had bought more.

Prez moving the market with tweet; lulz at how little effect it actually has on the market. More impact on O&G, if it plays out as described. 

I love the qualifier (in the tweets above) "if it happens" - but it's already priced in the market!!

Who knows whats going on behind the curtains, but I presume we have a lot more leverage over SA than Russia.

It was a couple of weeks ago but I bought 1,000 shares just a smidge under 32 - was going to add another 1,000 if it dropped under 30.  Wish I had put every cent of cash I had into it then, but I'll take it.

fucking codswallop.  was being greedy trying to nip a few cents off USO buy order, and just missed the 20% jump

I tried to get in yesterday but I can't purchase USO through Merrill. Pretty pissed about it 

At this point, Saudis, Russia and OPEC+ cutting production won't make much of a shit.  Demand is down because economies are paralyzed.  Demand is down and tanks (reserves) are near max capacity.

Great interview on CNBC w Jim Chanos

The market surging doesn't make a bit of sense. 

We're up to 10+ million newly unemployed, mostly from the food service sector, and there's around another 8m working retail per BLS stats. That's at least 18 million jobs that are going to be hurt by COVID-19, not to mention to pain to downstream suppliers from loss of revenue there. 

I just don't see how the market gains are justified. Pain is a comin

the market has already taken all of that into account

I'm using today to do some house cleaning in my degenerate gambling account.  Shed some real shitastic losers... trades that turned into "investments" that never turned around.  The only reason I'm clearing them out is TDA is zero commission.  No f'ing way I would pay $5 per transaction to get rid of these deadweight shit stains.  Hell, some of them the value of stock I sold was barely $10.

The airlines are still taking a smooth buttfucking, though. 

I bought American Airlines at $16 two weeks ago thinking that the bailout news would boost them. Apparently, the airlines are immune to the sunshine pumping.

Actually, yes. Just started trading full time with the free time that I now have. If it weren't for my SPY puts and my stupid AAL purchase, I would be at 19% returns. Currently at 3% returns over a week and a half. Most of those returns were from shorting Oneok after they had their 11% jump last week. Just from what I know about that company, I knew it was fool's gold. Bought a $23 put for cheap and it returned $956 in just 2 days.

Yeah Chanos not big on Chinese Companies or Gig Economy (UBER, GRUB).

He's still short TSLA... seems like trying to prove a point but difficult with such a parabolic stock.  (TSLA short may not be a large position though)

Lot of people hate him, but Chanos is one of my all time favorites in the industry.  He's one of the smartest guys out there from what I can tell.

Meh, that will buff out soon enough.  What won't buff out nearly as fast is the upcoming dilution that they do to "raise funds for general corporate purposes".  You know it's coming, no corporate board can resist the chance when they are the hot stock to fuck over the current bag holders to raise more funds.

It's all over the place. It's at 21,400, dropping to 20,735, now back up to 21,000. What an asshole.

Fed Balance Sheet 3/26:  $5.302T

Roughly $600 billion "stuff" bought in the last week.  Do we hit $6T next week?

Close, but just shy.

Fed balance sheet 4/2:  $5.859T

Maybe it hits $7T next week with the new program to buy Treasuries from foreign banks.

Inflation is inevitable. Like a pandemic, the only question is how best to prepare for it.

I got the impression he could give an insightful 15+ min lecture on any topic they threw at him, and he would do it in a way that keeps the audience engaged, regardless of their own experience on the topic. Really a unique interviewee these days.

To hear today's Chanos interview, here yah go...

Banks will be overwhelmed with requests today for SBA funds.

Guessing Trump will try to put out more positive info on oil since he's meeting with several energy CEO's today.

Will be surprised if some late selling doesn't happen again today -- getting harder to stay long in some positions over weekends right now due to more significant negative news risk.

Would be interesting to know who leaked this report back in January, and then possibly profited from the Luckin Coffee cliff-dive...

 

probably that cocksucker Bill Ackman

Got back into short $IWM at $106 earlier this morning.  I’m going to give the 3x leveraged ETFs a pass as I feel like I’ve dodged several bullets with them the last few weeks.

I got NowThis'd by leveraged ETFs this week.  Still playing em today though cause dopamine. 

Today has been the most orderly 2% drop that I can remember in over a month; must be because +/- 400 points on the Dow ain't no big thing, man!

Maybe this crash going forward is down 0.5-2.5% a day, every day, until the market gets to reality.

That would seem logical.

So, no.

i was too chickenshit too short cinemark and amc but its satisfying to see them get reamed

more traffic here, although this is really a #stonks question - 2 part question

1) do we see a Fed push at the end of today, if so will it be enough to offset the fear of holding over the weekend?
b) leave it all on the don't pass line, or lighten the load and take some off the table

the correct answer to b) is to take some profits, as that is always a good choice, the #stonk answer to b) is don't be a pussy
