The stock market

someone please find a vaccine for the corona virus

soon...........................

This is getting painful to watch.

Unfortunately even fast tracking it, it wouldn't be ready till around christmas the earliest.

Unfortunately even fast tracking it, it wouldn't be ready till around christmas the earliest.

That would be "Ludicrous Speed" even with special green lights from the FDA like they gave for the Swine Flu vaccine, which was more of a variations on a theme project. Here we have a new virus with little understanding of the caustive bug's mechanisms of infection, transcription, replication and release.

First, who owns the patent to the nucleic acid sequence and/or the virus itself? I assume that it's some group in China. Wonder if they're worked out the licensing terms. That in itself may take until Chirstmas...

I love the small Biotech companies that reported vaccine candidates last month. There was one in MA that did that and their stock doubled overnight, which was probably exactly what they waned to happen.

Of course Roccus the Cynic did some quick company research and got the expected results of:

0 products on the market
0 products in clinical trials
0 licensed facilities to manufacture vaccines or drugs

To make their "we got one ready for clinical trials" ready to ship even more hysterical was the vaccine's methodology. They have some fancy novel cellular RNA blocking/inhibiting technology that has never been used in a vaccine or drug. Therefore their vaccine would be totally novel and there would be NO "variations on a well-documented process" claims to speed up their approval process. Therefore their "look at us" announcement was just a cry for a stock bump and/or VC interest, and it might even get some SEC interest too...

BTW, don't lose hope, Fauci said there were vaccines on the horizon, probably within a year. I'd bet some of the 5 biggest vaccine manufacturers, if not all, are working on candidate vaccines. Yeah, they're not making noise about it because they've dealt with the SEC before and they need to figure out what their vaccine can or can't do, along how it's similar/different with current vaccines. Once they have all these data, they can apply to FDA for Fast Tracking approval.

And one more sobering thought for all. COVID-19 is the same viral family as the Common Cold. I don't know about you, but I don't know of a successful Cold Vaccine, do you??? Some of these little buggers have the ability to prevent the manufacture of effective and long-lasting immunity...

good chance to bail on this bounce.....dumped my tsla since it was up 10% today....if the market chits itself everything will go down with it...the good...the bad...the ugly...and if not....a profits a profit

I think your profit taking yesterday has a few here upset. My comment is "Well played Sir!!"

I’m confused Roccus
I thought the president of the USA stood in front of a podium the other day and assured everybody everything’s OK and a vaccine will be out and ready very soon????
That’s odd because from what I read around here I thought he was a stand up guy that always told the truth???

Its called Buy the rumor and Sell the fact.

RIP YOUR FACE OFF rally coming up today

well its down over 700 right now.....looks like the anticipation was better than the actual deed........ 1/2 point wasted

but usually the day after fed rate cut goes the opposite so maybe a bounce tomorrow if we don't bounce today

rip your face off rally coming today!!

[*]"SOON" is relative and 12-18 months is "Captain, My Poor Engines!! Warp 8 Mr. Scott!!" FAST in the vaccine world.

[*]When was the last time that ANY politician ever told the truth??? That's about the most bipartisan Rule of Thumb that one can make about US politics at this point.

Market was tilted too heavy to the LONG side at the close (long in the hole) late buyers etc. the market punishes them the next day.....the exact opposite when it closes on the LOWS....shorts get punished sometime during the next day...inventory adjustment....GOOD LUCK everyone

Ugly friday coming up......another thousand on the DOW going bye bye.....if it don't recover today that won't be good going forward

IF I was so inclined to be playing S&P poker right now, there would be some low-ball buy orders out there on Blue Chips, including 3M, they make masks...

It’s Friday, it should crash... ?
