I can't believe that the buyers are keeping WYNN's price level where it is. Traffic to Macau is now down over 90%. The casinos are empty. As long as the virus is still spreading, you can't start counting quarantine days to look for an end. Those casinos are going to be empty for weeks.

I added to my put position, brought my basis down.
I added to NUGT big yesterday when it it triggered an order at 30.60 and it quickly rebounded. Sold the Abbvie yesterday morning for a quick 3% but not what I was hoping for when I bought it.

I can't possibly agree more with WYNN. No way in hell that price holds, those casinos are going to be empty for weeks at the very least and it's at the busiest time of the year for them. A company can't lose what is equivalent to their shopping season at the very minimum and hold serve. If it gets to that 125.5 range again I'm adding a ton to the short side.

The market is incredibly healthy right now, hard to get down movement with so much optimism but optimism doesn't overcome reality.

I know, was looking to buy because I figured it would test 52 week lows after that report. I would understand if it was horrible but they had a timeline on the Max getting back in the air but they don't and guidance wasn't good.

To top it all off, their customers are under some really intense pressure right now because virus isn't good for the airplane business.

Same here. When i saw the 6am alert, my first order of biz was to call my FA to keep eye on and buy if dipped below 309.

By time i got to office, the pre market was up $8.50 im like "huh???"

makes no sense.
 
Noticing a trend in the afternoon sell off the past couple days. Think the market is being cautiously optimistic but when it comes time to close a few hours before China releases it's daily numbers that money heads for the door. I'm leaning very strongly towards WHO issuing international emergency in their meeting tomorrow. Friday could also be tricky. Assuming we keep seeing Wuhan cases accelerate upwards then may see a big sell off Friday with potential for big bounce Monday if we make it through the weekend without any really bad news. Money may be scared to stay in the market over the weekend.

It's also very interesting to see how many negative cases have come back from CDC without any more positive hits, numbers that are disproportionate to the early tests. CDC director has said he has been talking with the president directly multiple times a day and I think we all know how much Trump will pressure anyone that can impact the markets. I'll be watching close to see if new cases in the US are announced just after market close on Friday. If suddenly there are new cases after the market closes then it tells me the CDC is focusing on damage control to the economy instead of transparency. If no new cases by Friday afternoon then I'll start to lean towards the US having it under control.
 
AMZN surging up 11ish%. I got out a while ago, after they've been treading water for almost a year.

I didn't ? but the after market surge will simmer come opening bell.

And I'm sitting on MSFT that I bought in late 2018 or early 19... Waiting for them to split as they don't like high stock prices.

Both were cloud business plays more than retail stuff.
 
New place to consider puts: luxury brands. China accounts for about 1/3 of luxury brand sales. Tiffany ($TIF), Cartier ($CFRUY), Louis Vuitton ($LVMUY) and Prada ($PRDSY).

$WYNN on a huge run. China propping it up??
Friend of mine who is technical analyst for a financial firm in Hong Kong said it would run up to $132 before you see any kind of reversal. I told him it makes no sense, he said stocks never make sense to us but makes sense to AI. He was convincing enough I closed my short positions and ran with NUGT and RMD. If it hits that $132 mark then I'm jumping back in hard on the short side of WYNN.

That NUGT play was looking brilliant when I loaded up in the mid $30 range, not looking nearly as brilliant today. Gold has some consolidating to do before pushing through $1600.
 
So, you guys want to get together and buy all the JCPenney stock we can? Perhaps it'll be enough to take over the company and set things right.

(Or maybe not. If they survive the year, I'll be shocked.)

they are mulling a reverse stock split...no thanks lol
 
I'm getting lit up today in NUGT. Losing 15% in a day sucks. lol

I really don't understand how the market is holding up with China shut down. Trump tweets about China in trade wars had a bigger impact than China getting shut down completely by a virus.
 
Right before the market closed yesterday I accidentally bought a chunk of Carnival Cruise lines when I meant to short it. I figured with the cruise lines dealing with cancellations, Carnival dealing with one of it's flagship ships in quarantine, reports of Caribbean islands rejecting cruise ships in fear of Coronavirus that it would have a negative impact. It's up 4% since I bought.

WYNN has 65% exposure to casinos in Macau which attracts Chinese high rollers. Travel to Macau has basically been shut down completely and today they announce closure to all casinos in the area. In response, WYNN is back up 40% since October.

So what is driving the market like this? Either I'm really missing something or the market is. If not for China, I'd expect explosive growth right now because other indicators are sexy. I even understand stocks going up in USA market but for the stocks heavily exposed to China, I don't understand it. Thoughts?

Yeah. I saw that. They're actually close to getting kicked off and out of the exchange.

A one-time giant goes down.

As a side note, I didn't realize Amazon hit $2K again. Yaaaayyy!!!
