  1. It did skyrocket during middle of day right? But from what i heard and read, Bernie populist messed up. The old fart has idea of economics, probably never traded a stock in his life and purely driven by emotion. I mean some of his ideas are good, but he takes it too far.

    I wonder if @greeneveryday bought too many calls. Maybe he is a troll bot because he never learns.

    Wanted the day off so dumped longs in the premarket....about 5k$ worth of gains. Could've been worse

  10. Now I'm in a position that I don't want to be in.

    I have 2628 shares of SPXS. Lost 11% so far today. Also, long-term prospects are that stocks will go up when virus panic is over. I was really hoping that jobless claims report was going to move things down.

    This wiped out all my gains from this week and then some. Maybe I should have put a stop-loss.

    But then again, maybe it will gain tomorrow!

    Either way, I'm stuck in a trade longer than I wanted to be.
