Yup, luckily our call center folks are on really strict metrics. They're all improved around 15% at the moment.Premium said:khaos288 said:Yep, the productivity tools for our call center has shown significant uptick in the work from home state. We may use it indefinitely.Fightin2010 said:

This thing will change how the world works for sure. Companies are realizing renting space and paying for electricity to have people be less productive is silly.

In all seriousness, yeah, working from home is great when you have easy measurements - when things aren't as measurable is when it's tough.
A feller on the "Houston...problem" thread said he heard something about OXY potentially having a leaker in the water?

Heard this last night:
Oxy has a well that is flowing back in the gulf that they can't stop. Apparently called in tanker to flow in to...not a blow out yet but definitely a huge problem.

A lot of tech companies have been moving less essential personnel to Reno. Still close to the bay and real estate is 1/3 the cost.
Sorry for derail.

How much of that is unnecessary...people who still have a job but out of fear are not paying? I'm not saying it's a significant factor but curious.Rice and Fries said:CNBC just had the head of the MBA (Mortgage Bankers Assc.) saying estimated 6% of all home loans are in forbearance. This is only from March/April mortgage payments. We will see how many make payments for May.Rice and Fries said:https://www.housingwire.com/articles/nearly-3-million-borrowers-are-already-in-forbearance/Rice and Fries said:McInnis 03 said:
Will Meade just mentioned scuttlebutt about really bad data coming on Mortgage forebearance and delinquencies, when does this data get reported?
It appears the forbearance issue is already much more significant than federal decision-makers thought it would be.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mark Calabria told HousingWire last week that his expectation was that approximately 1 million GSE mortgages will be in forbearance by May, but new data from Black Knight shows that the number of GSE mortgages in forbearance already far exceeds Calabria's projection.
According to Black Knight, nearly 1.4 million borrowers whose mortgages are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are already in forbearance.
I'm still holding TOPS as it trends slightly back up. Might actually make a tiny profit.
Not to further derail, but I have no perspective on the work from home thing as my job can only barely be done remotely - do these call center folks expect anything in return for using their utilities to do their jobs (water, power, network)? Or is the ability to work from home and not have to commute compensation enough?khaos288 said:Yup, luckily our call center folks are on really strict metrics.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Google has plenty of cash.
Imagine like most, that they are slowing their hiring so no need to acquire empty space right now.

That was a question CNBC did pose is that how many are just taking advantage of this because they can.Aggie95 said:How much of that is unnecessary...people who still have a job but out of fear are not paying?

So I have friend who works on Anadarko's offshore rigs. Said they hadn't heard anything and "they can easily leak without turning into a blowout". Said they would poke around...McInnis 03 said:

For those investing in oil tanker stocks, make sure that the stocks that you are buying have mainly crude tankers and not gasoline or chemical tankers.
Gasoline tanker prices are falling while crude tankers are rising.

Buying a PUT has much less downside than shorting a stock. In this scenario (especially with Oil news pending), I would tread cautiously on a naked short.
Technically you could claim tax deductions by using a home office or things like that. Additional pay/reimbursement for working from home doesn't seem likely to me. Some companies may explore that if they shut down a ton of offices and save a huge amount, but electricity/utilities and all that seems about an even trade when you think about gas/oil/car mileage and commute time. Who knows. That's way above my pay grade hahaAggietaco said:Not to further derail, but I have no perspective on the work from home thing as my job can only barely be done remotely - do these call center folks expect anything in return for using their utilities to do their jobs (water, power, network)?

With all the speculation that WFH is going to be a much more common thing even after this all blows over, what's the investment play to best capture that? Office Depot/Staples stocks?

Overall i'm pro-LVS long term, but might be a long journey back up. Macau is open but basically still a ghost townIrishTxAggie said:

LADR but the option volume is very low. I'm looking for a CMBS ETF with higher volume

Fair enough. But you don't see $1.2MM options being placed on an OTM weekly without knowing something.AgCPA95 said:Overall i'm pro-LVS long term, but might be a long journey back up. Macau is open but basically still a ghost townIrishTxAggie said:

Oh I thought you were talking about shorting. My bad
anyway to play the volatility of energy, both up or down? looking at OIV and seeing how it went from 120 to 1200 in 2 trading days.
Sucker! I got it for more than twice that!thirdcoast said:
