It’s best to stay out of markets that are broken unless you have an informed or advantaged view about that broken market: like oil right now.

No. It’s the worst. You have no control what your position will be and at what price you can unwind it at. Stocks don’t halt for a few days and not have a significant volatility event that will dwarf the free theta earned over those days.

Reaching for what? Desperate for what? Where have i misspoken? You are the desperate one. You believe the economy should re-open, but can’t admit to say “many will die” so you couch it in “rights” and then when I show you many examples of those “rights being violated” you counter with “that’s...

What’s horseshit is you using the moral argument of “rights” to push your practical agenda even when you admit there is no explicit right to employment. Even if there was a right to employment (and we both mean this to be the right to seek a job, not the guaranteed right to a job) the...

I don’t think the epidemiologists are being political. I think every governor republican and Democrat want their states to reopen. But information about the disease is changing so fast. Other nations who are ahead of us in this virus have seen upticks after they reopened.

Trump’s approach was to downplay and ignore the virus and now to prevent states from getting medical gear. It’s been a month since he put up that consortium of companies to improve testing. How’s that been going?

If the rich get richer, the money will trickle down.

Until you are willing to talk about the “why,” then all these examples are equivalent. They only differ in the “why.” You are saying “a waitress can’t find a job. she has a right to a job and the government has denied that right and that is wrong.” Without adding “because the government is...

Lets start with this: The comment about companies hiring was to say that no one is preventing you from getting a job. If a job is there, you can take it. There are few jobs because the government has shut down many businesses. But this doesn't change the fact that you can work IF there is a...

Now you bring up due process. This is the extension of your claim to a "Right to Employment." They closed many businesses at Ground Zero when there was asbestos floating in the air. Are you saying they violated everyone's rights? Perhaps. But was it necessary to promote safety? To clean up the...

You keep saying "right." When a health inspector closes a restaurant, does that mean he has violated the rights of all those employees? Is it his job to ensure there are employment opportunities out there for those employees? This has been addressed ad nuseum. The Supreme Court (not just the...

Stop using the word "Rights." The right to run a business is not guaranteed. The right to have a job is not guaranteed.

Stop using the word "Freedom" and "Rights." It has nothing to do with freedom or rights. Your post means that if a business chooses to close its doors (because it is unprofitable) it has denied its employees the "Freedom of employment." The virus is an attack on the American way of life. The...

I don't think you understand the word "Freedom." Stop watching Fox News. The government has the right to control many of these activities. Or do we take this to ad nuseum places like "I have a right to shoot you because you are stupid." and "speed limits are unconstitutional." "You are denying...

If the restaurant closures continue, I will move it out. If I recall there isn't an explicit right to eat at restaurants.

One of our plants is hiring. Papermills are full. Recyclers are full. Delivery services are busy. Obviously most businesses are not. That's how recessions go. Are those businesses denying your "Freedom of Employment"?

I live in one of the more restrictive states. I was in NY on Monday on business. 10 police cars, not one stopped me asking for "my papers." How is Freedom of Travel being restricted?

typical. going on about freedom but can't actually define it.

Where I live people are observing social distancing in the parks and the police are there watching it. No arrests.

“Freedom of employment” doesn’t mean that a drug dealers rights are infringed when the police shut him down. Freedom of employment means you are not allowed to get a job. You are allowed to get a job. Many companies are hiring. Loss of “Freedom from travel” means you are not allowed to travel...
