anybody familiar with oil majors why XOM is down (or was) and COP is up today?

BP has over 11% divi now until it gets cut lol

 

Not sure about BP, but CVX and XOM won't cut.

 

That's right

 

When the world ends, we probably won't even know, like what happened to the dinosaurs.

 

I just took a position on teladoc

 

The unfortunate thing is that days like yesterday seem to gain wider public perception than do days like today.

 

One day doesn't make the market. Hopeium is strong, bag holders are delusional and the people in power thing they're pulling up on the yoke as we enter the downdraft

 

doom and gloom

 

Let this sink in.

Tesla has a higher market cap than Boeing, CAT, 3M yet Tesla has chronically lost money since it's inception.

The market is still over valued and this is just one of many examples

 

My comment wasn't intended to be taken literally.

It was a reflection on the general tendency of public perception to be on the negative drops rather than gains.

 

Now that’s funny..

 

There are studies that show that there are very few days over long periods of time that, if you missed just those days, you missed most of the overall gains. I am not arguing anything, it’s facts.

to me Tesla is an old rock band

 

Only because Edison stole all his inventions

 

Articles to make boomers and bag holders breathe easy, the underlying sickness hasn't gone away because someone declared an emergency.

It's ok passengers despite the jackscrew being stripped we've declared an emergency and Bob is waiting at the airport with a tube of grease and a new part.

 

You’re using too much emotion. Try logic.

 

You can’t fearmonger logic though

 

I understand cash is king, but is it too much to ask to be rewarded for being a saver? be paid for letting others use my money is all I really want.

My high yield dropped to 1.5 today. I'd really just be happy with about a 5 percent yearly return on my long term investments. I knew 15 percent gains were artificial, but going negative is not a good feeling no matter who you are.

I'm still heavy into stocks and have sold nothing.

I paid to ride this ride, if I get sick on it, so be it.

 

If the market ran on logic, Tesla would be a $7.00 stock
