And DIG is the counterpart to going long correct? Figure I won't need that for a while, but just putting it in my head.

Appreciate all the insight and discussion here. Learning as fast as humanly possible while working from home during this time.

I agree. But before we march up to 2800, I believe we have a small pullback to the 2400-2450 area.

Does the post seem made up now? Not something I want to be right about either. I was just relaying info but it sounds more and more like layoff numbers are growing by the minute.

The 50 weekly MA has hardly turned over. Also the "death cross" confirmed today. Ppl are firing way too soon trying to pick a bottom, IMO. We are a month into this thing and haven't even printed a recession number yet.....except for weekly unemployment that dwarfs any other number ever (PPT came in that morning in futures). Ppl expecting an immediate rebound to pre-virus consumption levels in April-June are mistaken.



Just for a fun thought experiment. If you had to make a case for the bulls. What numbers would you use to support it?

2000-2200 was major support and now we have the largest liquidity pump and bailout by a central bank and central government in the history of money - something no other bear market or recession had this early. They have and will do everything they can to pump the market higher.

Those are the only 2 numbers for bull support right now, one of which is -unlimited- cash supporting liquidity. Unlimited is a pretty big number to have on your side.

DIG is long oil, DUG is short. I wish I had got into DUG at 40, egads! it hit 160 a week or 2 ago, but back around 100 now.

Because they didn't shut their entire country down as much as everyone thought and said they did. The supply chain disruption was greatly exaggerated. Something I've harped on for over six weeks now. We won't rebound as quickly because we're a nation of consumers

They were only partially shut down, like we are, for 50 days.. everything is fully back firing.

While it seemed quick, their quarantine was pretty long. We're only halfway into this if you use their timeline.

Virginia now has shelter in place until June 10th, WTF!

I'm starting to wonder why elderly aren't shelter in place and the under 60 allowed out? This would benefit the elderly in the long run as many of us would get it, get over it, build up herd immunity.

Aren't most Apple stores and Starbucks stores open in China? This is just an example not a guiding metric for the entire country's manufacturing status. But I remember hearing that from Tim Cook and the SBUX CEO. So, I wouldn't totally dismiss it.

that should be it right there...

if you are over 60 (or heavy smoker), make it a requirement for them to shelter... everybody else, life as usual

maybe we are too politically correct nowadays...?

Has nothing to do with political correctness. Infinitely more informed task forces filled with doctors are passing the current guidelines.

A huge problem is people not giving an eff. The three golf courses around my house have never been more busy. Including beers and shenanigans in the club house after/pre-round.

Could be fake numbers from China, or this whole thing could have been caused by them, or most likely ... both

Wait, are you saying that the NBA didn't have to lose billions, all they had to do was say "at-risk populations stay home"?

Disney could have kept their parks open and kept filming movies and all they had to do was send home people over 60 and smokers?

Houston could have had the rodeo? SXSW shouldn't have been cancelled? NHL shouldn't have cancelled?

It's almost like the people downplaying this as "just the flu" have made this significantly worse. I'm sure all these companies gave up billions without consulting professionals.

This is what's going to happen
Considering half the patients of our hospitals right now are under 60, I don't think that's the answer, either. The death rate isn't really the issue, it's the hospitalizations.

The right answer all along would've been to have a robust public health system capable of mass testing. Then you could do targeted quarantines and let everyone else continue to live their lives.

But of course that only works if people have a habit of wanting to go to hospitals for minor issues; when you've got no insurance and no sick leave, that's unlikely to happen. Hell even with insurance, I woke up with severe chest pain one morning and was like "dang, my deductible is $3k, do I really want to eat that up if this is nothing, which it likely is at my age?"

I'll hop off the soapbox because it doesn't belong here, but I really hope people rethink the importance of public health care after this. If the dude making your Torchy's tacos comes to work sick because he has no other viable choice, it just might affect you someday.

Now we know that you aren't aware of the problem that people are concerned about. It isn't fatality rates.
