Okie dokes Nick. I'll try to figure out exactly what I meant then... or perhaps what you thought I meant. I believe I've been clear enough. I think I've stated my position, mainly in response to the deluge. I believe my response though tempered was justified. Enough said Nick. I agree.
The Nasdaq is deteriorating markedly. I stated recently that I think we're over extended and the Spanish Inquisition is not too far away. Even if no one expects it.
Court too said the same. Could be Rabbit, could be.
Nick,
I guess you're right. It's true I have no respect for the person in office. Anyone remotely familiar with that persons history would probably have the same opinion. To me it's more opinion than politics since I'm pretty much apolitical. I will temper my discourse as stated previously. But I also state unequivocally that anyone that doesn't believe that the threat of covid infection is real I welcome to find out for themselves. That was the primary thrust of my statements. I get you're dwelling on two misspelled words, but my point is not about the misspelling of those two words. Correction, 3 misspelled words.
Actually the presidents family name before being changed is Drumpf. That was the family name before being changed. So there's that- historical fact.
I think that considering the previous onslaught of biased verbiage that occurred I showed a measured response. If you took exception to two misspelled words sounds like I did a fairly good job of making other points. You could give me that. ?
So where do you see ET and EPD ? ET was handed a pink slip on the pipeline.
Pardon me Nick. Respectfully just consider my misspelling as a show of concern for the way this country is going. So from now on I won't misspell, consider though the disdain behind my correct spelling and the implied dislike of the way this nation is floundering. The belief that this isn't the US any more it's the divided states of America. This country is highly dysfunctional. I don't think anyone would disagree with this assessment. Regardless of their political leanings. It's said by me as a serious concern for this nation and its future.
Incidentally if asked I would refer to the democrats as "democrooks" because politics is a dirty business but that's neither here nor there now.
Enough said.
Now where was I. Yes, stocks.
Sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy store. Gimme dat !
You've missed the train on MCD Papa Johns Chipotle and Domino's among few others. But take heart SF the cyber security firms might be something to take a look at.
Great SF,
Yes I can handily blame the algorithms. And just think, I thought it was my trading strategies.
Opened FEYE@ 12.54 and trimmed OXY this morning.
Those with WBA must be pleased as punch this a.m. considering the Doordash endeavor. ( I'm not one of those happy campers ) Nice work WBA. Strategically perfect !
Since out of the house and away from the market today, I noticed that I added to SLQT at 22.75.
Trimmed KNOP and NYCB also.
This day though overall positive was disappointing. Didn't profit at all. Boo Hoo. Just raising cash to put back in really.
Thank you Nick.
Nick, I defy anyone to rationalize what some are saying as non political business oriented speech. We've discussed this in the past. Some have been censored. I really think it's time for something said or done. Whether or not anyone agrees.
The constant slant on politics is sickening. And out of the clear blue for that matter.
"Making America Great one Death at a Time" , Nick.
USA ! USA ! Number 1. Yeah !
Nice trades Nick, I'm still holding IBM... and fully invested in T. I'll add big time if T ever gets to 26 again
I believe everyone should stand up for what they believe. Putting their money where their mouths are really separates the men from the boys... and girls for that matter.
Hi SF,
I really can't be bothered. If anyone doubts the virulence of covid I have this suggestion, and I've made this before in various forums and to anyone doubting the reality of what's going on. Go out and socialize without a mask and don't take any precautions. That'll settle it for you.( Also go to a person of the evening and don't wear any protection there as well ) Continue doing this until you sicken, or you sicken those around you. Be sure to expose yourself to your loved ones especially the elderly and children. ( If they're your children, parents or spouse, even "better" because after all it's a Democrat hoax designed to frighten you. ) Be sure to socialize with those right thinking folks you share your viewpoints with. Especially if they avidly agree with you. With a certainty, go to as many political rallies utilizing the same behaviors there as well.
Personally I don't trust doing business by mail and that includes vote by mail. If I must I send mail certified. If I can't I simply won't correspond through the mail. This has to do more with trusting in person interactions and doubting the value of consequential correspondence by mail, generally speaking.
I'll be voting in person against tRUMP and any republiCON that's on the ballot.
When we stop politicizing this pandemic we'll all be better off, till then...
Good morning,
Bought TD 7/9/20 @ 43.25
Sold this morning at 45.50
It has dawned on me that I'm not weighing positive market influences on various stocks. I see that my strategy is based upon more of an average stock movement and on a less than positive perspective resulting in selling too soon.
Sure Al.
It's all a hoax. The virus doesn't exist. It's socialism I tell ya ! Blame antifa !
Trimmed PFE at 35.16- 5.74%
PDCO @ 23.30 5.91%
I'm nursing mine. I too had a box of 10, plus a few more I had around, I had from previous scares- sars, swine flu, bird flu etc... I've been nursing mine and leaving it on the dashboard of my car to sanitize with sunlight inside a zip lock. Works for me.
I had to spread them out between my son, wife, girlfriend, her son and myself. Still have the full and half face masks with n100 filters I used in construction years ago when doing asbestos abatement during electrical work. Hope never to have to use those again.
And that was only part of it.
Always the comedian Nick LOL !
I don't know how else to say this. These markets are a house of cards waiting to fold.
I'm selling as much as I can trying for 5-10%.
Time to pick my marbles up and go home.
Great, I'm not only type A blood, but over 65 and take prilosec. Yipee for me. See ya in hell !
Look, plain and simple. While folks are walking around with cloth and other type surgical masks, with their noses hanging out and some protecting their chins as well, my family's been walking around with N95's. That's the key at this point. We need everyone to use N95's so that even if there is a chance of transmission the N95 will reduce the chance of spread by 95%
Try telling that to government, when healthcare doesn't even have them. Where the hell are all the N95s !!! ?
Surgical masks don't protect, they reduce from someone transmitting.
Yes Elroy, but it's a hoax. We should all be working and going about our business without masks and socializing as if everything was the same as before. Ignorance, after all is bliss. Ahhhhh...Covid.
Point is Court, and other countries have done this:
2-3 weeks of total quarantine then contact tracing afterwards. The virus would have been virtually erased. With NO government leadership there is no easy way out. No recovery until a vaccine. Then the damage will be so extensive we'll be bailing out for ever.
Well stated Elroy.
That's because the government is so confused by bubble boy orange chimp that the message has been so diffused. You don't do one thing then say another. That's exactly what happened. I don't expect from your point of view to see this. But that's the way I see it.
This from one account. Trying to re-balance. I'm tiring just reading this.

Good morning,
It's been a very difficult week and a half. Haven't really made much of any $$$ on sells, but to say that I've been churning is an understatement. Can't even tell you how much I've re-positioned. Selling buying back lower selling buying back lower...etc. One thing I did though is take a small position in TSLA at 1540.
A little more about EPD for this weekend.

Thanks, Elroy. I have a small amount in my IRA, but not worried about K1.
I'll let my tax guy handle the rest.
Most of that stuff was done by specialty shops catering to local teams. My son was on little league and always went to the same local store for his uniform, His School bowling league and intramural league provided shirts and extra stuff like logo sweatshirts cost extra.
Point of interest. My son went to one of the top rated public schools in the US. Number 37 from the top which is no small accomplishment in itself... Staten Island Tech. His was the first ever SI Tech bowling team to win the citywide championship the year he captained the team in the history of the school.. I'm very proud of that fact.
This is the big leagues Elroy. Major League Baseball.
I have a buy order in for JPM at 89 still.
My price target on STAG has been $22 for years. I'd consider that not at its current price and I'd consider Medical Properties for the dividend once I look at its properties holdings. I know you're a big fan of MP trust.
The rest have too much exposure to other less than desirable sectors of real estate for me.
I'm retired, not working and still paying taxes. But I'll tell you what Court, I sure do love that extra 600 on top or the 182 I'm getting for the few hours I was instructing Latin and Ballroom dance. You know, the chances of that coming back any time soon is remote considering social distancing.
Ad Hoc we're getting together dancing outside with masks about 17- 22 of us once a week at a local park gazebo and I have strict mask requirements. Just for fun and to remember some of our dance moves with an occasional lesson thrown it. Because we love dance.
Even if the recreation center opens where I instructed, which it won't, I'd say to them that I'll volunteer my time as I did unpaid for years until they put me on their payroll, just so that I can continue to receive the $$$.
I love money !!! and am willing to volunteer my time. Nothing wrong with that...Or is there ?
I think I'll write my congressman and senators about keeping the money train going. Pay back is a B.
I think you're missing the real point. This money was supposed to keep people from going out and contracting the virus, then tRUMP orders governers to "open" their economies. Now more people are sick and transmitting the virus. Well, Court, what do we do about that then ? That's more of a concern. Is it not ? The real problem is the virus, not the folks who are unemployed. If a comprehensive strategy was utilized, we would not be in this situation, now would we ?
There is a slew of certified online stores still selling the products in varied form. From jerseys to night shirts to tee shirts to hats and more. Feel free to check it out and buy buy buy. Last chance Elroy.
