I mean all the carriers are going broke and no amount of government stimulus can save these suckers so how can BA continue to sell aircraft for the next few years. I've traded BA a few times, usually at a loss because markets ignore facts. As these airlines continue to lose money and shutter some operations, they need less planes. These fleets are old and only 3rd world airlines are going to buy them. This COVID thing will eventually be gone and the airlines that shed planes will need new planes.

October 26, 20205 yr We will start getting q3 earnings reports, so company guidance will be interesting. Noticed the following this morning related to SAP: Quote SAP SE shares dropped as much as 21%, the biggest intraday fall since 1999, after the software company cut its revenue forecast for the full year and said it expects a fresh wave of lockdowns to hurt demand through the first half of 2021. In a test for Christian Klein, who became sole chief executive officer in April, the pandemic will delay SAP’s goals for cloud revenue, overall sales and operating profit by one or two years, especially in hard-hit industries such as business travel, the Walldorf, Germany-based company said in a statement on Sunday. The drop in shares on Monday wiped 28 billion euros ($33.1 billion) off SAP’s market value. The drop-off in SAP’s cloud revenue is a sign that companies are putting off making major decisions about updating their software, as the pandemic continues to limit any global economic recovery. I think similarly positioned companies here in the US will start to echo these general sentiments. 1 year ago QQQ was at roughly 200. Pandemic still raging and the QQQ closed Friday around 285. Yeah there will be some pandemic outliers (ZM, PTON, etc), but I gotta believe its going to be harder and harder to present rosy forecasts for a large number of companies.

Counterpoint: SAP sucks shit through a straw. Or maybe more precise SAP has a massive reputation for fuckshow implementations.

October 28, 20205 yr Had a leveraged short position against BBBY when it was trading around 14$. The motherfucker shot up to 20$ overnight from earnings...and then instead of deflating back down, it gapped up again to $23, and then continued climbing north of $25 over the course of 3 weeks. Took my lumps and exited my position yesterday around $24. This morning it is -13% down. Just totally fuck my shit up fam Edited October 28, 20205 yr by 52-80
October 28, 20205 yr I had a group of calls for December, so that's a yikes. Kind of tempted to hold until election to see how the market reacts.

October 30, 20205 yr The market seems twitchy about holding over the weekend, into the election. No direction, lots of whipsawing action - the fed brrrrrrrr machine has been eerily silent of late
October 30, 20205 yr These assholes really tried to get it green during power hour. Getting a real "coiled" feeling here. I think if we have clear results Tuesday night, we're going up in a hurry.

October 31, 20205 yr This thing will climb for a few years strongly with a clear win and a vaccine in a few months. Doesn’t mean there won’t be volatility before.

October 31, 20205 yr Once an event so predictable happens, you can bet it's already built in. Only on the downside.
October 31, 20205 yr From a market person on close of October. "October is over and stocks went out with a whimper. . . Markets were more volatile, largely from exogenous factors like the national elections and the coronavirus. And of course, that the story stocks are priced for fantasy. The US national election will be next Tuesday. Have a pleasant evening." https://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com

A lot of pain out there to be monetized - by Fed Policy (we saved your asses from the President™). And it is time to rebuild.

Right now I'm probably over invested in o&g since it seems so cheap over the summer. But now that $80 a barrel is no where in sight.

November 4, 20205 yr 18 hours ago, 52-80 said: whats the insider scoop on alijackma? per bloomberg Quote two weeks ago, Ma somehow found the time to opine on China’s banking system at a high-profile financial forum in Shanghai, once again throwing himself into the eye of the storm. In that speech, apart from labeling the global banking Basel Accords as an “old people’s club,” Ma said “systemic risk” is not the issue in China. Rather, China’s biggest risk is that it “lacks a financial ecosystem.” Chinese banks are like “pawn shops”, where collateral and guarantees are the hard currencies. As a result, some decided to go so big they are not allowed to fail

November 5, 20205 yr I think the market's reacting to the GOP holding serve in Congress, particularly if the GOP is able to maintain an edge in the Senate. The prospects of significantly increased taxes and regulations are down when compared to pre-election prognostications. Bulls like divided government. So, the market is up considerably over the past couple of days.
