It’s not that they are related, it’s inference that the job numbers might suddenly have adjustments or modifiers that skew to a view point. I think loving with numbers at this point is pretty stupid but who knows with this WH.

It’s not like there is some physical law governing the S&P, it’s all people. The situation on the ground is still evolving rapidly. We get unemployment numbers tomorrow, March job numbers on April 3rd, then Q1 earnings reports from tons of companies throughout April. My original guess (1600) was a half-joke, but I think we absolutely will see sub-2000 within the next two months.

The VIX is at 63 right now. That does not indicate a bottom in my opinion. Neither do days when the S&P is up (or down) 10%.

Any Canadians know about this scenario? If I transfer an option position to a cash account from a registered account, and then close the option, does the whole value that comes out of the option count as capital gains or just the profit on the position? I'm 80% sure it's just the profit but I'd like to make sure. Many thanks if anyone knows about this weird edge case. e: My guess is 3.45 mil applying for unemployment insurance or w/e it's called in the states only because I think that between humans inherently procrastinating or being too lazy to file for it right away and the services being so overloaded it's only like 50% of the people that need it that have actually got applications in. My guess at the real number of people unemployed now would be somewhere around 7 to 8 million. VelociBacon fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Mar 26, 2020 |

VelociBacon posted:Any Canadians know about this scenario? Not sure why you decided to try this thread, you are getting plenty of help in the other thread. But I'll answer anyway. If you transfer an option out of a registered account, it would come out at FMV at the time of the transfer. If you then close the option, the difference between FMV when it transferred and the price that you closed it at, would be your gain or loss to report. But why would you do this? If you do it from a TFSA, it's a withdrawal and cant be added to your contribution room until the next calendar year. If you do it from an RRSP, there would be a withholding tax, FMV added to your income, and lost contribution room forever.

Hey, yeah sorry you're right I should have just edited it into a post in the other thread but I felt bad for monopolizing everyone's time there. I appreciate your response. I'd be moving the option out of the TFSA into the cash account to avoid drawing too much CRA suspicion with a great number of short duration speculative options trading. I'm not going to cap my TFSA for probably another 4 years so I'm not concerned about the room. Appreciate your time as always today.

Cheesemaster200 posted:The WSJ had an interesting article the other day regarding an analysis of ICU beds in different cities and counties. A lot of it was sensationalist bullshit, but it did have an interesting analysis of healthcare capacity versus other countries. Apparently our history of being fat and unhealthy has had the positive side effect of increasing critical care capacity. The US has double the amount of beds than Italy and six times that of China. This brings another possibility with this crisis, in that the surge of patients will hit the healthcare system but it will be able to deal with it due to added capacity; bend but not break if you will. Quiz: If your number of cases, required ICU beds, etc. is doubling roughly every 3 days, how much extra time would having double the capacity buy you?

The way new outlets keep talking about the stimulus bill as if it's already passed is journalistic malpractice. "The Senate signs stimulus billl", "the Senate and White House have reached a deal". Hey idiots, there's another half to our legislative body that has to pass it before it's a law and they're called the House. They very intentionally did not pass it today and it's not guaranteed they will tomorrow either. Pelosi seems pleased with the result so I think it probably will pass strange feelings re Daisy fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Mar 26, 2020 |

The idea that we've missed the bottom just days before COVID starts to kill more than a 9/11 of Americans every. single. day. is outrageous. Time will tell or whatever but this thing is going to bloom badly before it gets better. Somebody claimed that this would kill fewer than 50K Americans which is almost certainly a mathematical impossibility at this point.

The last two days have been rocketing green, so I doubt it has been fully priced in. In a logical world there would be a steep drop today. In reality it'll probably go through the roof.

Based on this entire coronavirus response by the markets I have some severe doubts that they are pricing in anything right now. It turns out that situations where there is no way to spend money to fix a problem and each person investing really just needs to make a best-guess judgement on an outcome that feels like it could really go either way is the market's least favorite way to operate. Funny that.

The coolest part of the bailout bill is the loans to small businesses turn to grants if the money is spent on payroll, utilities, or rent. So they’re incentivizing business owners to bring in people and maximize production for the duration of the public health crisis.

It really depends on what the released numbers are. IMO anything less than 3 million might cause another rise, whereas anything above 5 million is a sharp drop. But I'm just guessing at this point, too.
