Let me set the scene for you:. 2nd largest economy in the world: closed from coronavirus. 3rd largest economy in the world just printed -6.3% GDP BEFORE coronavirus. 4th largest economy in the world (Germany) printed 0.4% GDP & 45.3 mfg PMI BEFORE coronavirus. U.S. stocks at ATHs.

New York City has 8.5M people. If just 5% get coronavirus (a low number for something this contagious), that's 425,000. Fauci said today that 15%-20% require hospitalization. That's 65,000. de Blasio said we have 1200 hospital beds available. Scary.

So to summarize:.Stocks could either soar or tank if there's a blue wave. However, there's ZERO doubt that if there's a red wave, stocks could either soar or tank. It gets a bit dicey though if votes are split between red & blue. In THAT case, stocks could either tank or soar.

@realDonaldTrump How about we legalize the drugs & spend the "war on" money for treatment and education, and the cartels will just disappear along with their disappearing profits. WE'RE the market-- without "the market" the suppliers would be out of business. WITH a market they'll ALWAYS be there.

It's been said by others but I'll say it too:. The way China is reporting almost an identical number of new coronavirus cases each day (approximately 3000) MUST be a reflection of its diagnosis capacity rather than the true caseload, which is likely much worse.

It's April 10th, 2015. You stand on a street corner yelling "In exactly 5 years Donald Trump will be the President of the United States, a virus will cause the largest worldwide depression in 90 years and Nasdaq will only be down 5% YTD. You are immediately institutionalized.

Serious comment:. As a moderate libertarian I've always had a negative view of unions, as they kill corporate flexibility. Elon Musk has single-handedly changed my opinion- yes, they kill flexibility but workers need that protection and the trade-off is worth it. Fuck you, Musk.

Trump is really fucking dumb. We're talking about his 2016 & 2017 taxes here- in '16 he KNEW he was running for President and in '17 he WAS President. Couldn't the idiot have told his accountants to make things come out so he'd have to pay maybe low 7 figures just for OPTICS???.

Okay, why did Musk just exercise 175,000 options with a $31.17 strike price that don't expire until 8/13/2022??? Is this to post additional collateral for a margin call??? I'll bet yes and short more stock right now.
