Sold my BA for a 15% profit. It has been bouncing off over-head support here for a bit. I might circle back on it if it runs back down near $200 again which it tends to do.

I'm holding until it gets completely cleared in China (the rumor). Could probably let it run a couple of more weeks.

NCLH on a tear today. UK Omicron numbers falling off for days now. Officials claiming we are past the peak.

As I said days ago in this thread, my guess is the US follows in 1-2 weeks.

Travel all seeing a boost on this news.

Per your posts, you were "deep into reopening" plays back in first week of Nov when I PM warned you about the sector on new variant news.

How much drawdown have you taken since then?

Nope, it drifted back down a penny. The lockup ends on Monday. My battle plan is to see a significant move down when lockup expires and to try to get 5 cents out of them. The Delta is obviously shit since I am so far out of the money but the IV is 110 right now

Not sure about the validity of this site? Where is that info pulled?

My broker has no issue finding shares to short. (And quite cheaply too)

EXCLUSIVE: Unusual Whales Creates 'Nancy Pelosi ETF' So You Can Track Her Trades - Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Members of U.S. Congress are permitted to buy and sell stocks and options in public companies as long as they publicly disclose their trades. The rule has come under scrutiny recently and became one of the focuses of the online platform Unusual Whales.

politicians have 30 days to report their stock trades, and many fail at that. any ETF based on those trades will have that huge latency and as a result have far lower earnings. Gram Stephen covered this in one of his videos recently.

i fully support restricting politicians ability to invest anywhere but a primary residence and large index funds. Pelosi funneling info to her husband's investment firm should be criminal.
