Short QQQ (Nasdaq100 etf and our benchmark)
It looks like NY may peak in cases soon. That will be encouraging when the slope is down.

there are a lot of things that look good to me right now, but what doesn't look good is CV19. the market will probably react really badly. so, I am sticking with TLT Long again this week.

AMZN (short) Amazon.com Inc. This stock closed Fri. at $1906.59 Founded July 1994; Hdq. Seattle, WA. 798,000 employees. This is an example of how crazy I am; and the world. Normally, this stock would never be shorted......

Sorry I have been missing from the board last week other than Monday. Have not changed my mind on shorting oil stocks but the markets are saying not to short this week, regardless of freaking oil prices. So will go with another beat up holding of mind and probably should have sold two years ago but still hold. WBA and will go long..... More like I am winging on a prayer here but will go long. I expect they will stop their darn dividend within a month too. WBA long

(1:50pm/ Good Friday/ 10 Apr. 2020/ Tex. time ) I just now clicked on (What's this.... oh, it's a computer )…. LOL And yesterday's contest close numbers … a real surprise; I just knew I would be at the deepest bottom spot ever. Kadee, your dusty mop needs to be shaken. ARCH.
