This is probably the quid pro quo for the Fed saying you don’t have to keep any reserves for the time being...

Be really careful guys, this is a very short term but severe disruption and it will be very difficult to trade this market correctly over the next month or two. We know what the virus is at this point, its no longer a mysterious unknown. You can argue whatever you want about “well china shut everyone down” “well south korea tested more” but it really doesn’t matter because its basically stopped spreading in both places. It is following a very typical viral outbreak curve. Yes, it might yoyo a bit, but this isn’t apocalyptic. The only real question now is just how incompetent is the trump admin? Just how poorly can you possibly handle this disruption? Just don’t buy cruise lines and you’ll be ok.

I just put in a couple of REALLY cheap limit orders to buy stocks and ITM calls. Liquidity will be non-existent tomorrow morning, so there will be some "flash crash" stocks were the order book is wiped and someone walks away with a very cheap fill (unless they break the trade).

A few goons in the D&D thread are saying that Trump is going to make a statement tomorrow night suggesting that everyone should self quarantine for 2 weeks. So, uh, the market probably won't react well to that on Tuesday. If true, of course

Gotta hand it to Trump. He took a solid, solid, solid loving economy/stock market and managed to turn it into a massive dumpster fire in only 3 years. Bush took 7 years to light everything on fire.

At least right now the labor market is really tight but the minute the money men start slashing payroll that’ll shift real quick.

I expect a very, very bad week for the markets man. Gotta liquidate you’re assets to pay for TP.

Well, there is a possibility that with the increase in genetic material out in the world it can have more mutations. Those mutations can increase it's infection rate and in worst case scenarios it's lethality. Although I think that this is unlikely and you probably shouldn't worry about it.

My cousin's wife works for one of the companies that is making tests for the covid19 virus. She said there was documentation of one patient who had a strain that had mutated 5 times in him alone. Also I learned some neat stuff about how they try to sequence and identify flu and corona viruses that have mutated.

Thats possible with literally every virus in existence, so covid19’s introduction to humans is nothing but a tiny blip in the probability of a superbug mutation

No joke what are y’all up to this week?

I’m picking up april/may puts at any whiff of green without a serious reason to back it up, like recovery rates being better than expected or tariff cuts or something. That trump pump I bought some SPY puts solely because that conference was definitely an absurd movie clip from a disaster movie, not a declaration of a national emergency by the President of the United States.

I don’t want to be right, but I’m fairly certain we haven’t hit the bottom.

Im buying oil and hotels, which is something ive never been interested in before but this is showing every single sign of being wildly overblown and its always the sectors that are left for dead that make the wildest comebacks. I might even buy something super boring like HTZ if it gets down to $5 or so. I still don’t think this logic applies to cruise lines for a variety of reasons but i wont make fun of anyone for buying CCL below $10 once it gets there.

I think thats a good number and marriot has excellent upper management. I should clarify that im *looking* to buy those things, im waiting on the execution with the exception of adding a little CPLG (and OXY on tomorrows almost inevitable dip) and i may pick up some AAWW on the collapse of passenger airline cargo space- they should be able to feast on that, but are being treated as if they have no potential benefit in this environment. That and SAVE are the only airlines im considering right now and ill probably wait for single digits on SAVE

Idk, I regret not throwing some puts in for them. They're closing all stores for a couple weeks at the least - that's got to effect their bottom line for at least this quarter.

Of the legacy 5, I think DAL is the best equipped / positioned to weather this, get beat the gently caress up and walk out the other side mostly intact. It's always been a bit of a trading (quarterly-ish) stock since 2017, just unknown when they'll return to Q1 2020 levels. HA has got to die or get eaten on the other side of this, probably from someone who wants their slots and has cash. Delta is weaker than the others in APAC I think, so maybe they'll eat them. Just feels like it's culling time for the herd.

On the semi-side, I want to stock more ASML, CDNS, SNPS, XLNX outside of the usual suspects. Specific chip-makers too — SLAB and ADI. MAXR is the only space company to touch at this point and even that's a shaky one.

I literally met a MAXR management guy in a bar in Vancouver one night and bought the stock based off my conversation with him(still have his card in my wallet). Unfortunately it was on the way down in ‘18 and i bought at like $12, got out when it hit 8 because i really didnt know much about it... watched it go to like $3 and then up to $21 or whatever.... now its back around $10 and its clear to me thats a mad moneymaker trading stock that no one pays attention to.

DAL is undoubtedly the best of the legacies, but i dont want anything to do with any of them- theyre all just time bombs imho and i think big money backing ULCCs is eventually going to figure out how to beat them with a much lower cost structure- ignoring whats going on right now, whic is very hard to predict how it will affect them.

This type of stuff is spreading like wildfire via my text chains with coworkers.

The US has been incrementally moving towards a national lockdown over the past week by floating it out as a hypothesis, social distancing, etc.

First it was no social gatherings of 1000+, then 100+, now bars and clubs are closed, almost all schools are, etc.

If they'd come right out of the gate and locked us down...with 500m+ guns in circulation, poo poo could have gotten out of hand really quickly. At this point, though, everyone thinks they're an expert and parrots what they read on social media to the point that some of my co-workers were dropping terms like "flattening the curve" with a big :smug: face. The same coworkers that didn't give a poo poo about this 2 weeks ago or even knew what it was other than, durrr, it has Corona in it.

Two separate people in our text chain posted that their "friends and family in LE and the military" are warning them to be ready for a national lockdown starting tomorrow.

Whether or not that's true, we'll see. I don't personally think it will be happening tomorrow. If it does happen I'd bet anything it's at 4:00:01pm EST.

I sold up in Feb and have been shorting the pound against Euro/USD since. We (the UK) are extremely asset poor and I'm fairly certain we're going to suffer a lot more than our European contemporaries. My only regret is taking short term gains on USD/GBP instead of holding and buying big 4 when they're a bargain
