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.

Thanks! Once we figure out where to go, I'm sure we will 

Based off of where we are in terms of % of population vaccinated, infection rates should drop off a cliff in the U.S. by the third week of this month. Downtrend is already underway in states where vaccination rates have reached the threshold that Israel crossed when its infection rates began to crater. 

The U.S. was fortunate that it was able to mass-vaccinate just as the B117 U.K. variant became the dominant type in America. Instead of causing a massive spike, the two competing factors resulted in a plateau in infection rates. 

For age cohorts like 65+ where a substantial majority of the population has already been vaccinated, hospitalization rates and deaths have already fallen off a cliff, even with the new variants out there.

I'm very much looking forward to the good news at the end of the month then!

And let's hope we don't see a repeat of what happened in Israel in other countries when the restrictions are lifted - I'm referring to the mass stampede deaths.
