Well.
Here is how it went. I got bored of paying the shorting fees and watching the index creep us slowly.
So I closed that position today. I know I didn't time the entry particularly well, and since I always miss the timing there is no doubt that the index will tank 10% in the next week or two.
Total profit is somewhere around 20%, so I'm still happy with the outcome.
Hope you are right. Sitting on some December 150 Puts for GLD.

i bought a real speculative stock this morning but one that can pay off in the long run. INO in at $14.38
Bill Gates is a big backer of the company and this company is located 15 min from where I live. I love the CEO as well. This is one I'm not trading. I'm in for the long haul and think they will be one of the first to to have a vaccine approved for COVID-19

I think INO had a very good chance going forward. I have been watching that stock since $9
. I may buy some today on the bear raid. I bought NVAX as well. I think these COVID-19 stocks are a great way to play the market. I wont go crazy but would like to add a few other names to my portfolio.

I am a fan and have considerable fun challenging their conspiracy theories. I am just waiting for Bill to tell me where to report so I can have my micro chip implant and post it on Facebook lmao.

What ever Bill Gates touches turns to GOLD lol
Funny I have been looking at some bio names as well over the past few weeks. A lot of them have ran up so fast. But your right in INO and even NVAX. Both have presented some good science and I can see them both running up over the next few months. CODX, MRNA, BNTX, TBIO SNY and REGN as well.
I'm going to do a little more research today and will most likely buy a few of these names.
PFE I bough last week.

Diamond Offshore files BK. It's just getting started. Now we'll see if any of these companies actually go away or just re-org.

Sold a MAY 15 CBRL Call spread 100/105. I say the run up on today's news of delivery service is a bit excessive. We'll see. I start to lose if CBRL get's much over 101 soon. It's a NASDAQ stock and pretty volatile daily swings so I think I can escape this if I have too. I am celebrating my retirement new boat account is back to even today with a smallish hedge on the port lol.

RE: The Speculative Stocks.... - fenders53 - 05-08-2020
Did somebody just type XOM and CVX on a speculative stock thread?
That is a stunning drop in rigs. I wonder who will start cheating first and ramping it back up? 292 does seem too low.

i added a position in NVAX today

Otter,
I'm sure you have been watching USO and their recent news. It's got more drama than a TV reality show. Grounded from buying new oil futures contracts lol. How are they going to get out of this one? And no I am not invested but it's still entertaining to watch. It's like "Oil TSLA"
