I think yesterday may have FINALLY been Pivot Day for Trump.

His press event was all about restarting the economy. No more scarf graphs of how many people are dying where. The presstitutes were all forced into the far corner of a ballroom where you could barely hear their caterwauling through the echoes.

I was about to check due to the ‘Economy shrank highest since 2008 recession’ headline. Thanks

Fox Business suggest it's because of “positive data from Gilead's Remdesivir”

I don’t think it’s Gilead. I bought some stock a couple of weeks ago at $84 a share and now it’s under $80.

The futures were up 300 yesterday and wound up down a bit. I hope it’s different today.

GILD crashed after that Chinese report on Remdesivir test results. I didn't know there was another report.

Both the NIH study, the gold standard, and Gilead’s own study achieve the same positive results. Dr. Fauci to hold press conference later today. Expect FDA to authorize use of remdesivir under emergency basis.

NIH National Institutes of Health study. A government agency not a company. The drug is Gilead’s. Trading is halted in Gilead.

There’s lots of cash thats been pumped onto the economy, fewer places to spend it and with interest rates so low there’s no where else to put it.

At times, the stock market is out of touch with reality. For some, it’s all play money.

Some big money thinks it’s time to buy. Only big money could move futures up that high in times like these. Buffet buying now?
