Given the spread of Coronavirus it seems possible many major cities could be on lockdown in Feb just like in China... surely there’s a way to contain the virus. For example, mass facemask adoption... i’ve seen many of these virus outbreaks come and go over the years and somehow they’ve always been contained.

China is the most compliant and responsible (mask-wearing) and controllable population on Earth (the Chinese can just shut down whole cities at will) and they couldn't contain it there.

I agree if it becomes a global serious epidemic it can probably be contained in the first world through mass mask wearing. But plenty of people are trash and plenty won't wear masks. Much of the third world won't have competent responses, etc.

For example, I'm in a major European tourist area right now with coronavirus all over the news, and I've seen thousands of Chinese tourists with only about 1/4 masked walking around here, some with no masks coughing openly. And it's contagious before symptoms, apparently

The difference between this and SARS is that SARS wasn't contagious until symptoms showed. Much much easier to control and screen for that.

if you want to make small gain or gains.
SESN is at .87 riht now, buy some nefore it hits mid 90s and then sell once it hits around 1-1.05 as it has been every few weeks, right now is a dip and real good and solid time to get in. thank me later. im expecting it to pop higher down the road, but the number I gave is the safety line form last few weeks and months.




**** I remember when we actually had users try to help others make a small bit of money instead nowadays we just have peopel ****ing talking about absolutely nothing. I feel nobody really trades anymore on this forum ffs. long gond are the good ol days where youcould actually make a litel money by reading threds like these,

Coronavirus is the major thing moving the markets Friday and today and giving it the worst drawdown since October. What should we be talking about rather than that?

I 7 bagged Friday close->Monday open with SPY puts on a "virus news worsening over the weekend" thesis. Nearly every stock is affected by it so it's the most important thing to consider

Do you have a prediction of how many infections have occurred/will occur?

Other teams have since come up with slightly higher values. These estimates are similar to the R0 of SARS during the early stages of the 2002–03 outbreak and of the novel strain of H1N1 influenza that caused a pandemic in 2009. But they are lower than R0 figures estimated during outbreaks of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) virus, a coronavirus similar to SARS.”

Re: masks. I read the commonly recommended n95 mask is ineffective. It blocks microns > 0.3. Corona is 0.16

Not saying the mask won't help to some extent but think more precautions need to be taken beyond just a mask

I would have expected by now to see a whole bunch more cases popping up outside of China or people getting sick who weren't in Wuhan, and we're not really seeing that. I took some of my shorts off today, and will likely take more off tomorrow while letting the rest ride into the mid February expiration.

Incubation time is 10 days. There were very few infected two weeks ago, and the large majority of any population don't travel internationally, so it hasn't had time for secondary spreading. The only thing you'd expect at this is primary infection from travelers (not yet detected in others as secondary infections). This is a slow boil, not a flash. It's in 10 countries already and growing. Too early to say where this goes, but a not-small chance this turns into something big.

The CDC took much of the fear out yesterday when they said they'd found no new infections after the first 5 and risk in the US was low. For some reason news of the virus in America hits the stock market the hardest (or helps the most).

Pretty sure DJI is going down to 27.5k$ - 28k$ zone, when and how fast, I don't know. Russell 2000 looks even worse. Bitcoin is starting to look really good again, looks like some sort of cup and handle in formation ready to pop higher.

GOLD with all the fear mongering looks better and better from one day to another from both fundamental and technical outlook.

theres news of a vaccine but itll prob take a while for it to be readily available on a large scale. it prob helps delay any US stock panic for the time being (hard to say).

honestly jerome could say some things tomorrow that will end up being a lot more important to markets than whatever this virus brings.

The vaccine news from SCMP is pure bullshit/propaganda. On top of yesterday's CDC statement it's good for taking the fear out though.

you're not contributing anything. i'm sorry if you disagree with that, but randomly pumping penny stocks with zero analysis beyond "hurr durr btfd" is worth less than zero in this thread

So what's the outlook on indeces? Looks like this is waaay over extended and stocks have way bigger downside return potential than going long from here. I'm not touching anything else than gold for next 2 weeks to see how things are going to plan out.

I understand. IMnot offended but I look at it like you can continue to talk about theories while I continue to talk about practice and help others take a look at making a small gain. The last tiem I talked about VSTM we had a user who made a pretty good chunk of profit when it was at .90 and I said it would baloon up within a few weeks due to rsi.

same with Sesn with the trends thats been happening last few weeks.


I ll stop posting going forward but its super laughable that someone could come in here and say "hey take a look at this , you ll be able to make &&, albeit small, if you take a look" and you say its not contributing anything at all. Thats asinine that you and others believe that yet we all just continue to talk about theories when I provide INFO that could actually give someone a PROFIT, albeit small. if this forum isn't about helping others potentially make money then, ok thats. I ve provided with my information and if thats not contributing when it could have actually helped someone make profit then ok. again, ive directly talked about stocks that could influence a portfolio for the better but if thats not contribution, then I see. and

I understand its not going to make someone rich and its a huge gain. It's still something. I would have expected people onthis forum to be somewhat ok with users trying to have others look at some opportunities to actually make actual $

dude you're not providing info. you're just showing that the stock went down on a chart. that's meaningless. the only world in which your posts have value is one in which every stock is guaranteed to go up after someone points out that it went down on a chart.

people come in here and post their theories on certain stocks and give opinions with research. some people even include ToothSayer's favorite thing, technical analysis.

if you want your penny stock nonsense to have any traction, put in 1% of the effort that this guy did.
