I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

Merck I was buying in the late 90s and gave up on it then.

Fwiw, of the individual stocks I bought in March, the top 3 so far are Target, Lockheed Martin, and Oracle.  The bottom 3 are Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, and ABBVie.

I have to confess I did, in fact, sell JNJ, LLY, and CAT yesterday, and spread the proceeds among others doing well iike LHX, LMT, TGT, CSCO, and RA.  Now with the news this morning that JNJ's vaccine is causing problems, I'm glad I did so.

The Vax is a foot note on JNJ earnings.  PFE might benefit though.  Confidence is wounded for JNJ Vax now.  Why would you choose it when you have other choices.?  CAT will probably run higher but the stock price run is way ahead of itself.

LOL This wounded confidence is BS. There are a lot of people who don't want to get 2 shots and wait 3 weeks to a month. My work place all got the J@J shot are were all fine. Each person is different. Even the Phizer and Moderna shot has side affects. Some get ill,  and others don't. Its all based on the individual. And the vaccines wont even put a dent in these companies one way or another. Not a big deal at all. 

I get all that.  Doesn't matter much if it is BS.  It based on perception and that will matter for awhile.  Right or wrong some countries have halted it.  I own plenty of JNJ so don't be thinking I am hating on it.   They will sell it somewhere. In my little world I know people that cancelled their JNJ Vax appointment a few weeks ago and found a PFE or Moderna appointment.  There will be a lot more of that for awhile IMO. I've been vaxxed more than most after a 34yr Army career. Some were pretty shakey with rough side effects and when I have a choice I am getting the one I believe has less chance of trouble. I am PFE vaxxed BTW. Round one anyway.
