Retarded is for sure not cool but who cares about the 'tism stuff anymore.

It's actually a thing for people with numbers brains to be able to focus 1000% on esoteric stuff they find interesting and can actually make careers off.

Meanwhile some of us just really, really like trains. It's all fine.

I always check level 2, then put in a limit order that's to the front of a big line of buyers by like a tenth of a penny per share. Same with selling, if there's a bunch of shares sitting for sale at 10.00 and that's what I want to sell at, my ask is 9.99.4 or something like that.

My bad. I'll probably never grow out of using "retarded" as a colloquialism - where I grew up it was never used to refer to anyone with an actual disability. It was always used as a derogatory term, usually self-deprecating, for someone who has fully-developed mental faculties and absolutely no excuse for doing really dumb things, but goes and does them anyway. So it's tough for me to put it into a context where it might be considered offensive.

"Weaponized autism" is a term from 4Chan and it originally referred to tracking down LGBTQ people and spamming them with bigoted memes

Lmao, that will do next to nothing. Mortgage/Rent, bills, groceries, health insurance. Pick 2. That'll maybe pay for 2, right? Unless this check is gonna be monthly, what the gently caress were they thinking?

ehhh, it's not exactly "fine". But also, every state should be planning for what to do in the worst case scenarios, that doesn't mean that's what they think is definitely going to happen.

I checked my spreadsheet. This was the last time I did it:

pre:

Stock	Price		Date		No. Shares	Fee	Gross	Net	Sale Price	Date		No. Shares	Fee	Cash	Gross		Net
TDW	$10.74900	11/05/15	25		$9.99	$268.73	$278.72	6.8985		12/31/15	25		$0.00	$172.46	($96.26)	($106.25)

So I paid $10.749, probably to undercut buy orders that were at $10.75, and I sold for $6.8985, probably to get in front of sellers asking $6.90.

Trump administration�s plea to states: Keep mum about unemployment stats.
The Trump administration is asking state labor officials to delay releasing the precise number of unemployment claims they are fielding, an indication of how uneasy policymakers are about further roiling a stock market already plunging in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

In an email sent Wednesday, the Labor Department instructed state officials to only �provide information using generalities to describe claims levels (very high, large increase)� until the department releases the total number of national claims next Thursday.

The email, which was shared with The New York Times, noted that the reports were monitored closely by financial markets and should therefore remain embargoed. �States should not provide numeric values to the public,� wrote Gay Gilbert, the administrator of the department�s Office of Employment Insurance.

Agronox: Feb 4, 2005

What a day to be in cat jail. Interesting one, right? I picked up some stuff out of the trash can this morning:

BTI - British American Tobacco. 8.5% yield, prefer it to MO because it didn't way overpay for Juul. Might pick up some PM too.
DHT - DHT Holdings. This is basically an oil tanker company. Rates on these things have soared and with the market in heavy contango you might see tankers used as floating storage again.
BOE - BlackRock Enhanced Global Dividend Trust. This is a closed end fund with quality names in it (JNJ, KO, UL, NSRGY, etc.) that got blown out to a 20% discount vs. NAV (it's more often around 10%). It currently yields 10.5%. Problem is, it's a small fund and a pain in the rear end to trade even in pretty small sizes. It also juices returns with derivatives, which is obviously a double-edged sword but I'm fine with that at the moment.
XLF - Financial Select Sector ETF. Basically "the banks and Berkshire." I think people have been scarred by 2008; these names fell too hard and, assuming we don't go into a bona fide depression--that might be a dumb assumption--the banks should be okay, and I expect Uncle Warren to do just fine. Would really like to see the long end of the curve move up a little though.
PGF - Invesco Financial Preferred ETF. Similar to the above, this is an ETF for bank preferreds. In a non-inflationary, low rate environment where the banks remain solvent this should work nicely and it benefits from the lower tax rate on dividends (as opposed to interest income). Yields 6% at the price I got it and around 5.3% now.

I'm probably too early on these buys.

Energy had a nice day. It pushed up the NSS I bought yesterday by like 40%. :stare:

A big part of where we go next is going to be dependent on politics. From what I've seen of the GOP Senate plan so far it's not enough, and poorly targeted. I'm still net short, but less so than I was yesterday.
