Partly, but not fully.
But yeah, does inflation ever take hold? I feel I've been hearing about the incoming inflation since at least the great recession.

Schwab in the process of buying TD Ameritrade as well. I'm guessing in part for their online platform.
You make some solid points but no one is going to be surprised by terrible 2Q numbers. No one. It's a question of degree and recently some companies have indicated that they will not be quite as terrible as they had expected. Investors will play close attention to what mgmts say about the remainder of 2020 and 2021. That will drive stock prices. I believe things have bounced back too quickly but we will see.
Give you a good cheap stock that is cheap, on the OTC for now, until it uplists soon, and be treatment for COVID in less than 30 days when the FDA approves it as the standard of care. That is Cytodyn’s Leronlimab drug akaPro140. Ticket symbol CYDY. If you know anybody struggling in the hospital with COVID , have their doctor reach out and get it. It likely will save their life and get them off that ventilator sooner than later.
Just bought 200 shares of TMDI for .74 cents.
Titan medical, makes robotics, and interface, for medical.
Already up 140% in extended hours off news of an agreement with Medtronics.
Edit:I should have waited as it opened in 60's, but I think I still like the buy.

IF this is what you got from my post then never invest yourself, get a Registered Rep (Stock Broker) to assist you.

One of my pep peeves is that IRS policies discourage people to invest in something as minor as a savings account. We used to be allowed to not count dividend interest received as taxable income. (IIRC it was $ 2,000). So the IRS was encouraging people to save, now it doesn't. (forget that interest rates are at or almost zero.) I have an interest bearing Checking account and I get about a buck a month and that's INCOME ?.
They have to be.
Otherwise why would anyone use them over Etrade?
Just my educated guess.
TD bank has a interest bearing checking account for anyone over 60, if that helps. with NO fees.
Sold my holdings on APT which makes PPE.
It reported big time increase in sales at Q1 (at which point the stock jumped), and I expect they will continue to show increased sales going fwd, especially in fall if Covid is still around.
But the market is rolling recovery stocks at the moment so PPE stocks are out and APT has been trending downward.
I'll chk back on this one before the next quarters reporting.

As Investors learn more about The Wuhan Virus and learn that although it is a killer of elderly it is just another Virus. The ''Seasonal" flu virus had 4 different strains in this past season. (Naturally the CDC ends the 'seasonal' flu virus. So it isn't happening now till Oct 1). The shot covered 3 or the 4 and yet killed 60,000 + (the CDC isn't EVER sure of the numbers in anything related to the 'seasonal', number of infected, Doctor visits, hospitalizations AND deaths are ALWAYS estimates with widely inaccurate numbers and findings.) So imagine if there was NO vaccine shot it could have killed 240,000-300,000 ? Starts to add up.
What it means/meant to Investors is that's the Wuhan Virus has placed a buying opportunity to the markets. As long as Biden or whoever replaces him isn't elected.
It’s crazy how it keeps going up. Was gonna buy on Tuesday but was thinking it’s got to level off or dip. Oh well my miss. It reminds me of crypto how fast it’s pumping that’s why I didn’t get in
The mild/ moderate trial has 58 of 75 enrolled as of Tuesday but CEO and doctors are going to end the trial on June 15 and present to the FDA the blinded results. The severe/ critical trial has 51 of 390 enrolled but as long as their were 50 they also were going to submit at 14 day and 28 day mortality dates which would be June 15 and June 30. Get in new w as it is down today.
Bought a little bit, it's been flat since a big spike a month or two back, so until the news happens I imagine it stays flat. I'l prob buy some more once I get some funds freed up.
But on timeline I meant when will they get out from behind the counter and into a market.
Cramer on CNBC was talking about how investors are running some stocks, but wouldn't name them, I'm thinking he was talking about GNUS.
Now I think given some of the names involved, Arnold, Stan Lee, Nickelodeon, Amazon, plus a toy line coming out, that it was def worth more then $2. I don't know what it should be valued at, but this run is way too hot right now, there has to be downturn, if only temporary, at some point.
I think?
And the rug has been pulled, currently below $7.
Now the question is: When is a good time to jump back in?
Edit:I think they halted trading as it's been locked at $6.94 for about 5 minutes.
re:edit. Currently below $5 at trading halted again, I bemoaned my conservative profit taking above. I take that back. Now I wish I sold my remaining shares when it was at $10(or $8 or $6). Maybe I'm just like my mother. She's never satisfied.

Shorts are trying to bring stock price down but long term holders bought in because it will be approved as both an AIDS drug and triple breast cancer drug (800 person phase 2 and 3 trial with no adverse side effects). .Now seeing it shrinks tumors so not just for breast cancer but multiple cancer uses . They will conduct 20 phase 2 trials for multiple diseases before the end of the year. Treatment for COVID was accidental or experimental and the 180 EIND results are outstanding include getting 5 of 11 people at Montefiore that were kidney transplant patients in really sick shape about to die, off ventilators and discharged within 7 days.
They are working on uplisting either to Nasdaq or NYSE ( CEO said on Tuesday ,attorney told him to not talk about dates but they are close .
I had shares of eToys.com - we rarely talk about our blunders!
Just bought Nikola ticker NKLA at $37.
IPO's today. Makes electric and hyrdogen cell powered semi trucks. Has a $800 million deal with Anhueser Busch. Says they have some other big orders on the horizon.
Total impulse buy, but the concept sounds amazing as a future looking company.

Ya, sort of aware(though it hasn't happened to me yet) but I'm nibbling, so I won't get pulled down a well if it tanks.
Reminds me of when I was making money off of SpongeTech. They went up like mad, they had a deal with MLB, advertising in Yankee stadium and on TV - turned out the whole company was fraudulent and stock went to zero overnight. Fortunately for me I had a few thousand $ in profit already cashed out.
This stock is bringing back ALL the bad memories about the time I left the Brokerage Industry.
I had my 50 man office in West Palm, we did small cap and bridge loans and IPO's for new companies out of the bridge loans.
Had a company in Calif that produced movies and other areas of the "entertainment" industry (not porn).
We did all the bridges and the IPO was about $1. My office had millions of shares and the IPO went to $ 5 in a couple of weeks. Called my Owner who lived in NY and the bid was strong with multiple market makers. "Let's sell it all, our clients will make millions !"
He told me to hold, it was heading for $ 20.
Turned out he was selling his restricted stock into the bid as it came off restriction and also converting his warrants and selling those as well.
Work got out in the market and the stock tanked under a buck.
I lost about $ 500,000 just in my overrides.
That was it. I got all my guys jobs elsewhere, U-4'ed everyone and mailed the office keys to him.
Which is why I advise caution in small cap stocks not on the Big Board.

There is NO such thing as too conservative in taking a profit.
So now it depends on how much it's trading in volume compared to previous days....and .....how may shares you purchased and still own and your adjusted price per share with any profits figured in that you have already taken.
And how many shares you purchased and how risk adverse you can be...
IF the money means something; Market sell.
IF the money means nothing; whatever you want.
Investing in small cap stocks is like playing press coverage as a Cornerback in the NFL against a good WR. Sometimes he's going to beat you and you just have to forget those times and play hard the next play and maybe you can get a Interception or Pass Break Up...
Gnus opened today at 8, went to $10, dropped to about $4.50, and is currently at $7.43 and the stock is halted again. Just completely crazy trading going on with this one.
I see two other micro cap streaming media stocks over %100 on the day.
Sold it all, but before the most recent rebound.
I actually like the company too, wouldn't mind getting back in at $4 or less but only if it settles down.
The KOs, PEPs, PGs, CLs, WMTs, COSTs,Vs, FBs, JNJs, etc...are more my speed compared to some of the names I see here in this thread and in past threads. Too risky for me. I think I mentioned DIS in the 80s would be a good spot to nibble when everything was tanking and that's had a nice run. I guess I’m alone in the shallow end of the pool of large cap/megacap names lol.
I have a large caps too. But after doubling my money in 4 days on GNUS I'm a little hooked on these small guys at the moment.
Greed it was what made my day back in 'the day'....
More trades you did the more I made.
Have fun.
IF you have money in small caps and it concerns you AT ALL, you have too much money in that percentage of your investment portfolio.
I tell the story of being at AC for a fight. Checking out sent Mary Anne for my valeted car. Found a $100 chip in my pocket. Line at cashiers was long on Sun AM and we were due back in Manasquan for Pop Warner. So Crap table by door. $100 come and I figure it's gone. Turns out a guy from my firm held the dice and he was KNOWN to be lucky. Suffice it to say in an hour I was up $ 3,000. The line was down and I cashed out. Mary Anne was still waiting in the car at the entrance and she was PO"ED major league. I counted out 15 $100s and dropped them on her thru the sun roof. Everything was then fine and we still made the Pop Warner game.
Small caps stocks are like betting on the Craps table.

Sounds very interesting. I will have to do some research. Thanks for sharing
That's fine, you can make a lot of many in a bubble. Besides, if the conditions that create said bubble remain permanent, is it still really a bubble?
are you counting on us growing our deficit at the same rate permanently? There is money to be made in a bubble and if you have time, bubble doesn't really matter. But there are plenty of people that will get hurt. Seen it with the last recession.
I have shares of NIO which is an electric car manufacturer based in Asia. Bought it around mid March when it was at 2.67 a share. It’s over 6 a share today.
