A place to talk about investing stuff.

Today’s gonna be brutal. Still searching for the bottom. I think a full “stay in your home no matter what except for emergency travel or errands” is coming. The economy is going to see long lasting effects of this.
Several people in my wife’s NY office tested positive over the weekend, after one guy went to the hospital with pneumonia.

Bought TQQQ puts Friday, sold after trading resumed. The weekends are bad for the market for the next couple months, I anticipate.

For those of you in Fidelity 401K and only allowed to buy mutual funds, here's a few I'm getting into:

VTSAX ($75 fee)
Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth Fund (FBGRX)
Fidelity® Trend Fund (FTRNX)

Take a look at the performance of those last 5 years. Pretty incredible really. 11-15%/year.

Buy the dip, set and forget. Rule of 7 says 7% doubles every 10 years. 15% every 5.

Holy ****. Someone told me that Love Cattle traded limit down, limit up, and closed limit down on the day. I don’t know what the limit is but my God, the margin calls that fools paid today. Christ.

4.5. It has been insane.

Cash bid reports from pre lunch and post lunch were wildly different.

Packers were making bank and basically decided to try putting the squeeze on in the middle of this panic. A group of feeders in the south got insulted by the bids and basically shut their gates and told them to increase the bids 15-20 cents or **** off. Some of those feeders are running naked on those pens. It would take some serious balls to do what they're trying to do without being hedged. Time is not on their side, but it has inspired some of the northern feeders to dig in their heels too.

I really think the frustrations of the last decade are about to come to a boil.

As soon as the southern feeders info got out the "plants are going to have trouble keeping workers on line" rumors flew. When every single little thing is used to extract equity from the industry, eventually shit has to hit the fan.
