Sorry but I have to ask..
Can you still meet your dealer at the corner to pick up an once?
Asking for a friend ofcourse.

Amazon Fresh will probably handle that. Worked great yesterday. People fighting at grocery stores, it's actually cheaper at Amazon, just have to throw in a $5 tip. Just so easy nowadays.
---------
Speaking of meds, I've only had 1 prescription as an adult (over 18), to take the swelling down from an ear infection. Of course, last time I had a checkup was a sports physical in high school.

------------

I don't think Amazon delivers what was referring to lol

But if they do I'm buying more stock in their company.

I know but one day it'll all be legal and I can see that happening. Amazon is going to get a taste of that business. They have the money, warehouse space, delivery drivers etc. They're already setup to go.

Hmmm. If you stare long enough at that picture, you will eventually see what looks like marijuana in the background.

Earth's natural healer, sadly big pharma have these politicians in their pockets so it's not legal nation wide. If what @JB Lions said comes true I think this world would be a better place to live in. Jeff Bezos has the money and power to make such a thing possible.

Strange that @lennco didn't link the market's today?

Even stranger that you are so cranked up on a one day bounce...might be time to switch to decaf. Math never lies nor does it propagandize, people do (including politicians and their cult followers). Most investors are looking for an 8-10% return annually from stocks, dreams don't pay returns.

I don't believe you understand how the market actually works. I have shorted the FUK out this market since January alone.
Shorting the cannabis market alone gave mid five figures.
ACB from $9ish to $1.25
CRON from $18 to $7.25
TLRY from $68 to $27.00

You are aware that you can short on the way down? If you don't... leave it to the professionals.

 

[GILSAN]

Young people are Idiots and have always been Idiots...
The Internet/Social media is the worst thing to happen to mankind right behind the man bun

​

Couldn't agree with you more... I feel like kicking CR7's ass every time I see him lately with his dumb hairstyle...

Glad he's in quarantine in Madeira Island at the moment, so I don't have to see more pics of him playing soccer!

While I favor legalization, I doubt that yet more drug usage among an already drugged up population will make the world a better place. People want to get high - that's fine. Just be honest about it.

Yes you are obviously not a rookie, that's why you snorted a minimal % bounce after major % index losses. Personally been day/swing/position trading global markets since 1999, I would warn you not to get in the ring with with me but that might scare you off...would much rather just drag you around this thread like a rag doll

 

[Domainace]

Traders who brag remind me of gamblers. I used to work a racetrack. The big talkers were always big losers overall. But one guy I knew was making a fortune. He was a quiet one. Why would anyone who is getting wealthy brag about it?

1999? I was born 30 years before you knew what a keyboard was.
Post today's gains!

So apparently we have a stay of home order starting Thursday:

Stay At Home Order will go into effect 3/26/20 at 11PM, for 2 weeks
Stay At Home Order applies to ALL RESIDENTS of Orange County

In the interest of preserving the public health and safety, individuals are ordered not to leave the premises of their primary residence or domicile except to conduct certain necessary activities, while practicing social distancing where practical, which include, but are not limited to the following:

Basic Needs - long list, won't post it all, like grocery shopping

This one tho:
Physical Activity and Exercise. Engaging in outdoor activities and recreation, including, without limitation, golfing, walking, hiking, running, cycling, using scooters, roller skates, skateboards, or other personal mobility devices.

So you can still go out and do all that.

eh, not really a big deal. This amusement parks, theater etc closing down.

In Oregon the Gov closed the parks, etc. I don't care, no-one else does either. Going fishing.

Gee... you're right! Thanks for pointing that out!

 

[mr-x]

I took that for a while, and it gave me more energy. Felt great but had to stop taking it after a month or so. But I am a low energy guy usually.

So far as the US (and most governments) Covid-19 is going to have a lasting effect. Even I was surprised at how passively Americans agreed to lock themselves inside when ordered to. The crooks and spooks in DC are going to make the most of this.

Don't let lack of news fool you. My son in law got his guns out of storage. "Friends" in non-important industry are working despite the ban. Had 70 year old man come buy and purchase trailer tires.

No-one to enforce the law... we just use common sense.

Anyone and I mean anyone can make calls after the fact.

If its true post a screenshot of just one of these 3 short positions from shorting in January to covering in March.

OK then, tried to warn you. So your not only a trading rookie, your an old trading rookie, how cute, guess you never learned anything after all those years trading. I could care less about returns/trades you claim to have made, especially on a forum, you have rookie written all over you, it's oozing in between the words in your posts. I called you out for glamorizing a one day bounce after huge losses and you wind your self into a butt hurt b*tch....everyone can see the real you through your posts Cinderella, it's too obvious.
