Sheeeet, after looking at the markets I don't feel bad anymore about spending an extra quarter to upgrade to a bottle of smart water over aquafina at the gas station. Did the fed print another trillion or something?
Nah, it's the movement down that was "fake". Negative hoax flu news is just an easy way to shake people out of their positions.

It touched $55 today. No one knows how "good" mobileye actually is. Its EV so it will sell for insane money to someone or investors if they spin it off as a public company. Maybe sell half for profit and let the other half ride and hope Mobileye drives it higher?

I kinda wanna sell all my Intel and put it in Twitter and hope it gets acquired.

EDIT: Blah, no, I don't want another major taxable event this year if I can avoid it.

You can sell January covered calls on the INTC stock. If it gets assigned its a 2022 tax event.

I'm not sure your assumption is correct. I have not seen any breakdown of how that R&D is spent so we are left to speculate but I think what they are working on is much broader than hoax flu, lots of cancer drug developments.
I didnt mean to imply "all" the extra 5 billion was hoax flu. I just saw that as a monster jump over the previous years which had been consistent in the 9-10B range.

Do federal covid grants to corps count as income? Because if they do, you know that increase in research is just tax avoidance.
