SHOP

Damn some of these things never get noticed until they double

Got in at $321 trading at $628 today. Sea Limited (SE) is a similar stock that may be worth watching. Currently trading at $54.

Out here in Methican America, a lot of people are making more money now than they would be if they were working their regular 32 hour/week job. Parent money, kid money, unemployment bonus, and now they think even more is coming. They're spending it, no doubt about it.

It'll be a different tune when their old job never calls them back in.

If my local ethanol plant shuts down, I'm absolutely ****ed. I have no idea how I'll source enough affordable protein to cover the loss of byproduct.

I presume no bean crush plants around?

Holy carp. Crude oil = $1.55 a BARRELL (wsj.com/1:30pm)

There's one that's not too far away, but it's twice the haul, 1/3 more expensive, and would require adding water back into the ration. The ethanol plants have just spoiled us and it would be a terrible time to try to pencil in the extra input costs.

Gas is below $1 in several places here, so who knows how long the local plant will hold out. If it gets real ugly, I guess I could try roasting some of our own beans. Never even seen it done though, so I'm sure it'd be a disaster.

It hit .01. it's apparently just for May delivery contracts if I understand right. Pretty wild

“ One year ago today, oil was trading near $70 / barrel. Today it's been as low as $.06. Yes, 6 cents for a barrel of oil.”

Wow

I would be really surprised to not see some of the powerful companies with cash hoards start buying up some of the ones getting clobbered in this market.

Warren Buffet must be salivating right now.

More than 80,000 people have been infected globally from the viral outbreak that began late last year in China. A total of 35 cases have been reported in the United States.

More than 2,600 people have died from the virus in mainland China, including one U.S. citizen.

Shares of Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna Inc. jumped nearly 16%, or $2.92, to $21.51 in premarket trading.

The stock started trading in late 2018 and set an all-time high price of $29.79 last April, according to FactSet.

I'm up 117 percent on MRNA since this post convinced me to buy some. I owe Hog a beer again.

I sure wish I hadn't panicked and sold 90 percent of it a week after I bought it.

ReynardMuldrake · 04-20-2020, 02:45 PM

Jesus, I just logged into my Robinhood account and I'm up 50% the past two weeks. MRNA and CODX.

**Buehler445** · 04-20-2020, 07:01 PM

So the front month of Crude closed at -37.63/brl. Yes. That is NEGATIVE. To my knowledge commodities haven’t went negative.

My buddy is the CEO at the coop and his broker is pretty connected. (I’m assuming it came from his broker) said that it was an ETF that held all the contracts that got slaughtered. I’m sure now is normally a perfectly acceptable time to get out of the front month unless it’s May 2020 contract.

Just one of many reasons not to I Evers anything in ETF of commodity markets.
