Yah, i'm not liking the volatility to be honest and I'm not sure whats going on. My portoflio is made directly for inflation hedging but even if inflation hedging doesn't pan out, the companies I selected are balance sheet strong which should benefit from a re opening.
The NASDAQ is throwing the market off imo. Tech junkies are over buying zombie companies which is causing valuation concerns and dragging the market down.

The governments are really setting the mood for another series of intense lockdowns too. Some states are not going to go along with it this time though, so no idea how that might turn out.

Can't shut down forever. There's no excuse this time, especially with vaccines rolling out.

They "found" 26m AZ vaccines in Italy. I'm not sure what's happening in Europe but they fucking up this re opening big time and its creating uncertainty in the market. Investors hate uncertainty.

I glimpse the stock issue report. Stock offered at $85 (common) and $100 (preferred) worth $3 billion. The market cap is around $50 billion. How does that translate to a $74 stock which is down 20% today?that's more like it. how this ran to 100 is a joke.

Maybe I missed something or did mental math wrong.

I actually think I'm done holding individual stocks long term for now. Too much bullshit going on, not adding anything else for the foreseeable future, too many bags have built up.
Just gonna throw everything in ETF's and then day trade/scalp with the rest of my money.

Fuck Europe and fuck blue states.
I live on the border of Kentucky/Indiana and Indy just announced their mask mandate ends on April 4th (I’m sure Ky will hold off a bit longer because our gov is a cuck
)The point is though is that we are reopening and we are done with this shit.

So, I hedge a lot yesterday. Not sure whats going on but the 10 year rally is over and its already lost 11 basis points from its high. People are buying bonds again and for some unknown reason.
I still think it is Europe, it could also be another wave of lockdowns but I'm not seeing what the market is seeing in the near term.
