    When will Uncle Sam step in and bail out the airlines?

    Honestly I think that Uncle Sam has already stepped in and is supporting the airlines with some form of easing. Their business will pretty much flatline through the summer. Raise your hand if you're going long on DAL, AAL, or another airline.. what rational trader would EVER take the bid side...

    When will Uncle Sam step in and bail out the airlines?

    So pretty much everyone I know is getting home and staying put. CV has me so petrified that I will not fly, my children are forbidden to fly, and my unborn grandchildren will not fly for five years after they arrive. Remember that word? "Bailout?" Brings back memories, doesn't it? When Uncle...

    Visibility into MBS (Fannie, Freddy), Repo, CDS, and other Institutional Markets

    Hey All, Anyone know how I can get visibility into the institutional markets, like MBS (Fannie, Freddy, Ginny), Repo, CDS, IRS, and the like? I realize that these are institutional products, typically out of the retail price range (>10M), but I'd love any kind of MD therefrom. These massive...

    Can someone who understands bonds help me understand this?

    I'm not qualified to give advice, but in my opinion, unless you're a bankruptcy lawyer, stay the heck away from this. To buy a common bond from a company that is in the process of declaring bankruptcy is tantamount to putting your money through a paper shredder. Maybe you profit in five years...

    "Big Picture" learning resource?

    Gm Peeps, Can anyone recommend a good learning resource (book, vid, etc) for how the different markets fit together? I feel like we focus so much on a subset of markets (U.S. Equities, Options, Gold, maybe Forex and a few others). There's so much more out there, and they all fit together. The...

    Is it true that institutional traders don't trade small caps or low floats?

    Bro, for institutional traders, "stocks" are just a small piece of the puzzle. They work massive trades in the Fixed Income markets: Treasuries, MBS, Credit, etc. The amounts of money can be mind-boggling for the average Joe. For example, a typical trade might be a Repurchase Agreement (repo...

    Why did the Fed cut rates a half if T assures us that everything is fine with CV?

    It frightens me a bit... I would feel much better if they cut a quarter "as a safety precaution." This cut makes me feel like there's a storm on the horizon. My other theory is based on Tufte's book... that T parlayed the CV into a big rate cut to stoke the economy for the election. "It's the...

    Dr. Drew on CV: "The press needs to shut up."

    The press is going batshit crazy about CV and Dr Drew speaks the truth.

    It's over. Historical bull run has come to an end.

    Nope. Think election. T will parlay the virus into 3 or more rate cuts, the Corona vaccine will be released, China trade issues will be magically resolved... and the economy will be a raging blaze around election time. Everyone's 401k will be bursting at the seams. 2021 will be the big bear run.
