WTI Settles Solidly Below $50; OPEC In A Panic -- February 4, 2020

Updates

Ouch: Tesla plunges

Original Post

Acquit: US Senator Susan Collins will vote to acquit Trump. Announced at 3:15 p.m. CT, today. How will Mitt Romney vote? He's already been dis-invited to the CPAC event this year after voting to extend the US Senate impeachment trial.

Boom: NASDAQ up 210 points; hits a brand new all-time intra-day high.
  • AMZN: up $54; up 2.7%; now trading at an all-time high, 2,058
  • TSLA: incredible; hit $960 intra-day; closes at $887
  • MSFT: hit an all-time high today
  • DIS: beats
  • F: tanks
Is 2019-cNoV already plateauing? We're coming up on two weeks when "ground zero" was shut down. Five million folks "escaped" Wuhan before it was shut down, but we're coming up on two weeks, the incubation period, and globally not much unexpected news;

DIS: smashes expectations; EPS, $1.53 vs $1.44 forecast;

Iowa Democrat caucus results: no new information; we were originally told that the "majority" of results would be released at 4:00 p.m. Most recently I've heard that "50%" of the results will be released.

  1. I don't know if the corona virus came out of a lab leak, but if it did, Twitter Jack owes Zero Hedge an apology.

    Reminds me a little of the Ukraine plane shot down in Iran. That was said by a lot of MSM to be a silly conspiracy theory. Missed where they apologized when found out that was wrong.

    1. Agree 1,000%.

      And even if not accurate, no reason to drop Zero Hedge from Twitter. We're all grown-ups. We can sort this stuff out without help from censors.
