It's like watching someone skate downhill but they're wearing VR goggles. What positions do you have right now? Currently I just have these three which I got for a decent price in the last 30 min today:

MU 04/03/2020 35.00 P
FIT 4/9/2020 6.00 P
SPY 04/13/2020 195.00 P

Fitbit is obviously a big gamble since they already had an offer from Google but they only need to drop 5% to break even on what I paid so I'm thinking if there's a drop on Monday, I could sell all of those next week for a good return.

I didn't buy anything today.

I did buy puts on India and mesa airlines yesterday and both went down like 50 percent today when I looked

But they're July puts so I'm sure I'm fine.

I always am

james · « **Reply #363 on:** March 23, 2020, 01:17:14 AM »

Not sure what to do with my airlines puts this week.

Should I get rid of them because the democrats will cave and bail them out?

Don't take my word for it but I think we're basically at the bottom now. Obviously there's going to be worse economic news coming in but all of that is already priced in. Once the stabilizers kick in we're on to (slow, painful) recovery.

Tell me what this means. Should I buy stuff that will obviously rebound?

Nintex · « **Reply #373 on:** March 23, 2020, 05:04:25 PM »

The problem is never the virus or the war but some underlying economic or bullshit banking 'oops'

Like: Yeah, so uh the banks put all their bailout money into AirBnB and McDonalds because that could only go up but to be safe those loans were transferred into Saudi oil IOU's as collateral at $80 a barrel
which were then packaged together and distributed as small business loans in Wuhan to support retirement funds in Germany. Guess uh, we didn't see that one coming so we need 10 trillion to cover up the credit default swaps.

Drop-shipping vacation properties through a third-party platform is pretty amazingly stupid just in terms of all the value lost to middlemen.

I don't think we're at the bottom but right now it's calm until a stimulus passes. I feel like people have given up on listening to any experts or technical analysis and are just sitting tight to see what happens. People are saying that it would make sense for Congress to pass the bill by Thursday to show that they're producing a solution but I only expect that to tick up the market for a few days at most.

The thing is we still have to see what the economic damage is going to be. Also I'm not really sure how it's going to work with lockdowns being on a state-by-state basis and no doubt the states with a heavy manufacturing/tourism economy are going to be a little bit more lenient. If we see terrible death rates in those states, expect another nationwide lockdown and another crash.

I think that Amazon is in trouble, which could make puts on them very valuable.

Here's the thing, everyone is buying them up because with retail closed, they're making huge business.

Thing is, their warehouse crews can become infected. Warehouse closes, they fail to deliver, they lose business.

My problem is that the puts are extremely expensive. Like 45 a pop, and you have to buy 100. So I'm not going to play.

But I will have this post in the sand.

Current price is 1,940.10, which wtf, but ok.

I think in mid may they will be down to 1750.00

That being said, I'm going to close out my position on blue apron for the same reason. You have one little covid breakout in the warehouse and people dump their subscriptions.

They're at 10.36, which stings a bit because they were at 14 the other day but I paid 3 so whatever

If you're an ad based tech company, I imagine earnings are down as consumers will want to tighten the belt. If you sell software or hardware, business might also be suffering as clients may not have the funding this year or enough people in the office to do project management/training on any new tools.

And James, Amazon already has like ten warehouses where employees got sick and they did a quick shutdown/disinfection. I'm not saying they took proper measures, but they are moving quickly and probably banking on the unemployment surge to keep the warehouse workers from doing a walk out.

As mentioned above, I logged into my account, ignored all my puts, and sold the Blue Apron stock I bought last week.

$620.24 (164.19%)

Decent profit for a week of doing nothing. This was straight stock, not an option.

End of year dividends are here!

If you invested in the James Fund, please send me a PM to confirm how you want your money deposited.

You will receive a 50% return on your initial investment.

Additionally, I am sad to announce that the James fund is closing, so you will also receive a refund of your initial principal.
