I would think that the theater names are going to be highly volatile. They’ll overshoot with every bit of news of the pandemic’s end but it will take years to establish new AT highs. There is pent up demand but the reality is that they will not be operating near capacity for a long time and they have had to dilute their stock and/or sell debt to survive. Plus the studio pipelines have dried up. Option traders should do well as they slowly recover.

I think Regal Cinema is closing its US theaters.

Yeah, think they will trade very similar to cruise ships. Dont see how many will survive if no vaccine by this time next year.

The cruise lines, especially American seem determined to give themselves a gut punch. A cruise ship is mostly an indoors venue of restaurants, bars, shopping and theatres. The cruise lines customers are primarily retirement age. Not a good combination.
Even just very few infected ships will likely shut them down until at least mid 2021.
I own ccl, nclh and rcl. I expect to unload as we get closer to them sailing from FL.

I’m really not sure the donations matter. I don’t see us losing Graham.

Money tends to flow towards the leaders in political campaigns. And it tends to be more important for incumbents, particularly in state/local elections. Politcal research has found that the more money a challenger raises, to more likely he/she is to win.

This doesn't tell the whole story obviously, but in looking for trends apart from polls, this is one of the main areas I look at.

They are. I think that they were in the process of slowly opening back up after shutting down 6 months ago and they just shuttered them again. Cineworld (CNNWF) owns Regal and the stock was down 57% early today, but have gotten about half of it back. They are also closing their British screens.

I'm curious why the SC Senate race is close but the State is safe for DJT?

DJT is polling far weaker in SC than he was in 2016, where he won by a whopping 14 points. In all likelihood, SC is a clear win for DJT, but it does suggests Republican support in SC is waning (for now).

I would hedge my bets on Graham winning re-election, but it's a super tight race.

$RKT gaining traction again lately. Seems to have found nice support around $20. I will continue playing this one going forward.

What an up and down year for me. My first year in the market, so with that came some hard lessons learned. Finally developing my own strategy, being more patient, not chasing calls.

I feel like the next month is so crucial. Timing the market sentiment leading up to the election will be key. I want to be liquid for the great buying opportunity that will arise should Biden be elected, but I’d hate to miss out on the huge spike that will come with a trump win. Both scenarios will probably correct back to the mean fairly quickly, I’d imagine.

Where do we sign up to be polled? Because me nor anyone in my entire family have ever been asked....seems odd.

I have only been polled may be twice since I turned 18. However, there are 350 million Americans, so the odds of you getting polled aren't tremendous. Polls have historically shown to be fairly accurate. Even 2016 polls predicted HRC would win the popular vote by 2-3%, which she did. Fortunately, we never saw that Presidency. As much as I disapprove of DJT, I hated HRC even more.

We're Tennessee football fans, we've been pol(l)ed the last decade....

I would suspect Graham would do better with Suburban women than Trump in SC so that's why I'm confused that Trump is doing better than Graham. I would suspect Graham and Trump are probably doing similar with the SC AA vote. I wouldnt think you'd see a lot of bipartisan ballots in SC (and the ones you would see would be suburban women voting for Graham but not Trump).Is Graham really that unpopular or is the Senate or POTUS polls off?

I’m telling you, I think it’s all off. There’s either some secret underground revolution happening here in SC that I don’t see, or they’re all way off. And I’ll go back to this point, with the amount of people I talk to every day, I just don’t see a change here in SC. I met a lady today who, when comparing Trump to Biden, told me she didn’t like either one of them, but it was all based off their personalities. Said Trump had actually done a lot of good things but she didn’t like “him”....

Which is pretty amazing if you think about it. Acknowledging that he’s done a lot of good things and then say you don’t like “him” because he’s an *******. Do Alabama fans say this about Nick Saban?

It shouldn't be amazing. People should be capable of a few basic thoughts occasionally. Trump's been a public figure/celebrity for 40 years. Donald Trump acts like Donald Trump would act.

Out of PINS again with 27.4% gains. This thing is a monster. I'll probably look for a re-entry point in the coming days.

He and one other feller have a whole lot of control over the market, ha ha. I sure didn't see that coming.
