Going on a small shopping spree as I expect a pump this week (as other posters have stated). Railroad and trucking stocks are real cheap, though they might be worth holding.

My town FB page has a bunch of posts about neighborhood walking groups right now. People who are working from home are meeting up to go walking together each morning. Like groups of two dozen or more. Mostly elderly women. My guess is there will be a shitload of houses on the market here in about two months. We really are the dumbest country.

Ur Getting Fatter posted:Just saw this. Maybe I'm missing something but $290 is much deeper IN the money than $250 so naturally it would be more expensive to buy. Did you mean to say 3/20 calls? No, for a second I thought I might have mistyped when you noted that, but I just checked again for 3/20 puts and the $275p is $28 where as the $255p is $15

I'm impressed with SWAN weathering this so well -- anyone know of similar funds/ETFs? https://etfdb.com/etf/SWAN/#etf-ticker-profile https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?SPY%2CSWAN SWAN is designed to track the S&P500 and somehow uses treasuries as a hedge. Downside is high expense ratio and presumably lower return in normal market conditions.

Anyone have any insight into $USO or oil in general? Been trying to follow that market a bit but there's been too many other things going on. Anyone long $USO at this price? Also - quote:Starbucks Corp. said Monday it will begin to offer 20 free therapy sessions a year for all of its employees, including part-time workers, as part of a broader mental-health benefit plan. Odd time to be rolling that out... FreelanceSocialist fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Mar 16, 2020 |

GramCracker posted:No, for a second I thought I might have mistyped when you noted that, but I just checked again for 3/20 puts and the $275p is $28 where as the $255p is $15 Again, this is normal. When you buy a put, the deeper in the money it is (ie: the lower the current value of the underlying stock is below the option strike price) then the higher the premium is. So a contract where someone has the right to sell to SPY equities $275 when the current value is ~$250 is logically going to be more expensive than a contract where you have the right to sell them at $255, since there are less chances that SPY's value might recover.

Yeah but the original question was why he could get a $290 put for $35 when SPY was in the $240s. That’s $20+ of free money a share. In times of trouble there’s no actual ask, you’re just seeing the last quote.

Interested in this as well... was looking at pembina pipelines (PPL tsx, PBA nyse), but honestly could see it still going down a ways.

On the shopping list, if you presume continued long-term low interest rates AND the bottom not dropping out of the financial sector, there are some bank preferreds out there that are starting to look pretty nice.

Josh Lyman posted:What’s up with this drift higher this morning? If we don’t actually close down a bunch, I feel like there wasn’t really capitulation. The Fed announced a rate cut to 0% and we're still down 150 pts on S&P 500 from Friday's pump close. We're also up 100 pts from the open, but if that news comes out and the market continued to trade flat, wouldn't that be a negative sign? If that news comes out and the market trades lower than flat, isn't that worse than the market trading flat?

Dwight Eisenhower posted:The Fed announced a rate cut to 0% and we're still down 150 pts on S&P 500 from Friday's pump close. I think the Fed poo poo just isn't treating the heart of the panic, which is coronavirus/supply chain poo poo. If it did work, I'd probably be more surprised-- at this point the Fed is just trying to make sure liquidity issues (a real, real, real, real problem) don't make a bad situation worse.

I still think E&P is a massive bull trap. Even if oil was still at $50 a lot of these guys were going to have problems. How long is it going to sit there at $30? It's not like there's a lot of incremental demand here in the US or in Europe--hell, half my building skipped the commute today and is working from home. The dividends aren't safe and they're still fuckin' drilling everywhere blowing through cap ex. Cash flow sucks. Just a dissenting opinion on that. I may be wrong. I'm neither long nor short it.
