We need to start buying and selling futures on toilet paper. How much work would it take to set up TP as a ticker symbol?

Good advice :thumbsup: I actually sold out on Thursday and have been sitting in the bleachers. With all this volatility I feel like I'm missing out on my big chance.

Y'all see a floor forming on this? Everything is shut down, I have $500 worth of toilet paper hoarded, the world is on quarantine, Disney is closed... is everything priced in? Is it too late to get on the short/put train or is it time to start bottom-feeding?

Looks like it's back...

Everything just went belly-up! I've never seen this before.. hopefully they're bouncing something and it will be back soon.

+1, on SPY and DIS, at 12:30pm EDT despite green status.

Interesting story: I went to my bank this week and asked for a loan for speculation. The loan officer told me that one of the things they look it is how well one traded during the mortgage crisis. It's a good indication of a trader's mettle in tough times. Traders today will be judged for years...

Perhaps there's more to oil losing. With EVs gaining traction and the US producing from shale.

Today's gold is US Treasury issues.

Careful here... I think oil has some real issues, especially with EVs gaining.

Yes, I made a point of really going for it this week. A market this turbulent is rare, and the experience gained trading it is priceless, win or lose.

It's been a humbling week for me. I'm getting whipsawed, and I'd really appreciate your opinion on how I can improve, and what I need to work on. I feel like my analyses are correct, but my timing is wrong? What weakness do you see in me and my trading that I should address? <3 Keith A few...

Good to have you here, bone. I've been feeling a little lonely here in the new Fixed Income forum. So let me get this straight. The Treasury offers more bonds. Banks don't have cash on hand to buy them, so they borrow cash using Treasury bonds as collateral in a repurchase agreement (Repo)...

Can we discuss this Fed report? Am I reading this correctly? As I read it, in the last two days, since Monday, they've pumped $739 Billion into the repo market and ultimately (hopefullyl) into the markets. These dollars are used to buy Treasury issues, and resold to investors. The cash on hand...

Yeah... it's always that last bit of risk that bites you in the ass. 99.44% of the time things are ok... and then some event hits. If it makes you feel any better I was long on USO ETF, and took a hit, so you're not alone. Hang in there my friend, you will rise from the ashes.

Hello All, Can anyone shed some light? I would think that in a market like this, laden with unusually high risk levels, peeps would flock to gold. But no! Gold fell today from yesterday's close at 1640 and has plunged to a price of 1565 at this moment! Why why why is the sky blue??? I don't...

Sorry for your loss. You will bounce back from this. Not much of a "mess" to clean up... the market moved against you, and you got margin called. What would you argue? Don't lose the lesson: To open these positions, over the weekend, and then go off the grid is a recipe for disaster. ^^^ This.
