Ever buy something in a store going out of business? Ever find money lying on the ground and not look around and search for who may have dropped it? Ever stretch the details on a tax return, in your favor? When I go short, just like when I go long, I want to make a profit. Rooting for or against someone (anonymous so and so) on the other side of my trade is plain stupid. But zero sum game negates everyone being happy and rich.
I understand your thinking, but let’s be honest, all that printing has a negative side, inflating wealth (pensions!)
This news hasn't even touched the markets yet. Continues to get ignored. Wonder why...... A new coronavirus variant, first detected two months ago, is making its way across the U.S. and spreading more quickly in the Northeast and West, new data released this week shows. The BA.2 variant appears to be on its way to becoming the dominant coronavirus strain, having roughly doubled each week for the past month, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. BA.2 is considered by the World Health Organization as a "sublineage" of the highly transmissible omicron variant. It's a different version of omicron than BA.1, which was responsible for the surge that hit the Northeast late last year.
Because war in Ukraine. Dude, we're all vaccinated at this point. It's out of the news cycle. Hello?!?
Omicron was a "blessing". Spread immunity, while deaths (most importantly of course) and hospitalizations were less than Delta and original. If this variant does the same we are better off. Getting closer to just another flu to immunize against each year.
Ok so I was a day early re bearish bias..... this week will be interesting and volatile.... good trading!
Which happens first: A) Tyreek Hill signing with the Jets or Dolphins B) Putin assassinated by his own secret service C) Oil hits $150 All will probably happen.
