(Selling covered calls that is)
There is a .50 bid on the April $25 calls now. That’s a pretty nice return for a ten day hold
It seems like 3% inflation was what we were supposed to model into our retirement plans when I started working in the late 80s
“Speedy” isn’t my main concern at this point. We need to win approval. I have always considered RVNC a forever hold, (or at least until a big fish purchased them) but I didn’t really think it would take FOREVER
Networks are sexy, but you can’t produce that power without fuel. They are going to need nukes and nat.gas plants to power these stations. (If they insist on abandoning coal.) I wish they would start there. Cart before horse again.
I quit reading at “union of concerned scientists”.
These articles are always vague in all the right places. For example : cattle
I want numbers of livestock, are we talking calves, feeders or large steers?
When they say corn, are they talking ground corn, chopped silage? At different stages you are feeding the same animal milk replacer, corn chop, or adding extra protein to their daily feed, and in different ratios.
If I’m pasturing cattle, it will take a lot more acreage than fields of row corn supplied to a feedlot with bunk silos full of silage.
I suspect I could change 10 million necessary acres to 1 million necessary acres easily with some anhydrous ammonia, spray herbicide, fertilizer and irrigation.

Just want to point out that the Moderna dose in this study was the full dose. The suggested booster would be 50mcg (half dose).
It doesn’t say so in the chart from the link, but they are speculating that the Half dose Moderna booster would still be slightly superior to the Pfizer booster dose.
are you trying to understand all the information about the Covid-19 booster dose & mixing vaccine types?

I took the data from the preprint preliminary report (link below) and created an easy chart to layout their data on which series had ⬆️ protection.

The issue of changing the process… Is it difficult to return to the original process to get approval long enough to do a bridging study to prove comparable outcomes in the new process?
I’m holding all my shares and will sell OOTM covered calls monthly until we see a stock price direction.
I will consider selling puts too if the price continues to drop in the near term.
I read it as the vaccine dose was approved however the booster was still not approved for general population, hence the EUA for a booster dose for certain individuals..
I don’t think Hint Health is affiliated with Hint MD
Interesting crop, especially if Kellogg is interested.
The article does lean heavily into claims “according to Plantible”
“10X the protein in soy for 1/10 water requirements and cost comparable to egg whites.”
Interesting, yet call me skeptical.
My impression is RVNC won’t comment any further on the BLA after their guidance on the inspection timeline. We probably won’t hear anymore until approval. (Optimistic prediction is my own)
I wonder if the MRNA vaccines would have come in closer to 66% like the J&J if they had been trialed in areas with variants like J&J? A year ago, if you said any of these were get 65% efficacy with COVID-19 everyone would have been ecstatic it would be so effective. 95% was never expected.

-30% seems excessive for what looks like a minor delay? Is there another issue I’m missing?
Do you feel there is still substantial buyout vig in ENTA? The stock price really has me tempted to get back into it. A successful HepB program would make it a multi bagger again.

Express scripts coverage- So my vascepa prescription was being covered 100% through express scripts mailed to my home. My plan notified me around February that the formulary was going to change and that I would have to start paying around 50% of the cost after May. I just called and found that they are not covering any and that I will be paying full price now. The representative said that the reason for the change is that so many people are using it off label for other purposes than high triglycerides. I said that my prescription was written for high triglycerides and that I have family history of heart issues. The rep was sympathetic and suggested going to a local pharmacy and trying GoodRX to see if that would get the cost down. I asked about the vascepa coupon and they said they do not honor coupons because it is basically resubmitting a claim? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best method or use of coupon programs because $300/month will be more than I can chew. I may have to forego it and I have really felt a lot better on it and haven’t had yearly blood work since starting and would like to see what it has done for me. Regards, Paul.
Agree, and feel investment grade will continue to continue to benefit from investors looking for safety. Also agree congress will be throwing some $ toward states.
Muni bond market facing biggest storm in modern history

It looks as though Müller will be walking his accusation back as the masks were ordered from a German vendor and it seems that vendor saw a better deal and sold the shipment elsewhere.
https://berlinspectator.com/2020/04/03/berlin-muller-slams-trump-for-confiscating-masks-bought-for-police/
“Some German media quoted U.S. government officials on Saturday who said the allegations were all wrong. For the Berlin Senate, a spokesman corrected one aspect: The masks had actually been ordered through a German vendor. The information about the “confiscation” of 200,000 masks had come from that company. It was not known which manufacturer had made the masks. Before, ‘3M’ had been mentioned in German-language media.
Now the Berlin Senate is trying to get to the bottom of the issue. So far, no allegations have been retracted. On Saturday in the late afternoon, the German Foreign Ministry announced it was in the process of finding out what exactly happened. The embassies in Bangkok and Washington D.C. are on the case.”
Can they test for antibodies or to confirm that someone has <I>had<I> covid-19?

Anecdotal comment- had to stop at my GP for some medical records, and the only two pamphlets on the reception desk were Cologuard primer and Vascepa pamphlets w/ coupons

Anecdotally regarding resistance from insurers-
My wife went to her annual gyno exam last month and had blood work.
Last year her triglycerides were a little high and this year they had risen to 300ish.
Her physician suggested more exercise and starting OTC fish oil. Wife wasn't excited about the prospect of fish oil on her sensitive stomach so she inquired about vascepa.
Physician wasn't familiar with it, so kind of discouraged, saying 'we don't need a drug yet"
Physician called her later and said she would prescribe if we wanted, we looked into express scripts and it is payed for 100% on her plan, no copay, so cheaper for us than fish oil.
The gel caps are somewhat large and Mrs usually has a bit of trouble with large capsules, but found gel caps to be easy to swallow.
Process to get is easy, 90 day supply came within a week.
So far no stomach fishy issues
Very tempted to take some ENTA off and Add RVNC here. Just hate paying on capital gains
So..my 200 shares aren't going to fund my retirement this week?
Thanks, appreciate the response and I will read through links - Paul EOM
