Just a thought, but everyone is going to be working from home for awhile - right? That means demand for bandwidth outside of entertainment purposes. Which means some people - or a lot of people - might upgrade their internet packages. Or more likely, they are going to exceed their bandwidth allowances (Comcast is 1TB in most markets, I think?) which means they are going to pay for overages. I wonder if we might be looking at a relatively highly profitable quarter (or two... or three) for companies like Comcast...

I think pretty much everyone is suspending overage charges. At least that's what I've been hearing as this progresses.

A lot of stuff that people assumed would "never" change has changed really loving quickly because of the poo poo going on right now. See also, the liquid restriction from TSA that everyone knew was dumb is now "waived". I am curious as to the long-term effects of WFH / modern office culture because this will be a hell of a trade study. For my company personally, I treat it as the exception, not the norm and it works OK I think. If you need to do it, go for it, but if you're in town, you should endeavour to be in the office. A lot of our work is early prototyping / conceptualizing / hardware builds and that's just plain harder to do / less effective over Zoom.

That's good at least. Have to wonder if this sudden increase in load/volume is going to stress the garbage infrastructure we've got, though. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

How in the past have gun/ammunition manufactures stocks responded on occasions similar (as best as possible) to things like this. My brother and some other very red blooded individuals have been posting that they can't find ammunition. Wondering if the same TP scare is going on there and if I can make money from it.

We’ve hit limit up but based on ES close it only says 3.82%. If I knew that, I would’ve bought in much earlier.

I can't wait until, years later, someone actually shows why/how markets were so hosed up to alternate between limit up and down for days in a row. There has to be more to this than 'actual investors buying the dip'. Something systemically wrong with how the markets are made.

I was actually kind of wondering how the funding for the 3x ETFs and the crazier ones actually works. I cashed out instantly today on a dumb bet with one. But these things are all robot driven, there's no actual person setting up bids or asks for the most part. Kinda reckon that if poo poo got really weird there might not actually be the capital to do the other side of the trade.

AOBC and RGR are up and RGR is gonna pay dividends for people who held since the 12th, AOBC is gonna split into two companies so you could double your stock near July. OLN is down since it sucks and VSTO is up since it has mostly ammo exposure.

My pet theory is that the arrival of sentiment analysis is to blame. Now that the algorithmic investors have a way to incorporate implied emotions into their investing strategies, those big investors are able to amplify crowd-think instead of dampening crowd-think by acting totally independent of emotions.

I’ve been reading about the index investing bubble and truly don’t know how it’s any different from just people investing randomly/blindly into the stock market as individuals or with any funds, really. Is it because there aren’t any “losers” like with old fashioned stock picking? Is it because selling stocks for your retirement as a part of a large group of similarly aged people causes what looks like a bear market/panic sale?
