I'm way less important and influential than a Senator, Congressman, Federal Reserve Governor, etc...and I'm not allowed to own individual stocks (except for Comcast, duh)...not sure how this is even a debate 🤷♂️
Believe it or not...there are 8 stocks in the S&P 500 making RECORD HIGHS in today's trading...
7 of those 8 stocks are in the same industry.
I'll give you 2 guesses which industry...but you'll likely only need 1... 😉

Kudos to Target CEO Brian Cornell for going on air, with $TGT stock -22% on the heels of its earnings report...and going on the record about the good & bad facing his company in the coming months...one of the toughest things for a CEO to do...

There's a part of me that's really displeased about the big market drop today...and part of me that hopes payday is soon, so my 401k is putting $$ to work at these depressed prices...
Dr. Fauci says Americans will likely need to stay home for at least several more weeks: “I cannot see that all of a sudden, next week or two weeks from now it's going to be over. I don't think there's a chance of that."

Honestly...I have no problem seeing what's happening w/ trading in stocks like GameStop, AMC, BlackBerry, etc...either from the long or short side...
What I will have more of an issue with is when traders who lose $$ on either side of it, start crying about their losses.

the US is entering the next coronavirus spike, trending toward 70,000 new cases per day. take care of yourselves, be mindful of the information you consume/share, and continue gently reminding people to follow public health guidelines as needed
"However, it was not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate & standardless penalty of indefinite suspension. Facebook’s normal penalties include removing the violating content, imposing a time-bound period of suspension, or permanently disabling the page & account."
I'm literally watching a handful of small & microcap names that are too small to even mention...witnessing share prices that are like $5 each...and posting xxxx% gains because a handful of folks decided to print 100k shares of volume for a stock that trades 1k shares a day on avg

I live in Connecticut...done my best to abide by mandates & guidelines re: social distancing, wearing mask, etc. Even more so now that our state has reopened for biz on many fronts.
Not once have I felt like my civil liberties were infringed upon by acting with care & caution.
The Robinhood traders are getting a lambasting from Fintwit...meanwhile, there's a small part of me that's enjoying whatever success they might be having...even though history tells us someone will be left without a chair when the music stops...
I have been made aware by a number of folks on my social media feeds that I need to learn a lot more about marijuana...
I'm told it's NOT a narcotic.
I shouldn't use the terms joint, blunt, etc interchangably.
And that I am not "hip."
etc.
Apologies to those I may have offended.
Prices don't look like they've changed since I was last there in 2016...
BTW...I bought 10 pimento cheese sandwiches that year...put them on ice...and flew back to NY with them...served them in our newsroom the following day.
Nobody wanted them...so I ate them all 🤣
