Yeah this is live test results. Just broke minutes ago

"In a statement Thursday, Gilead said: “What we can say at this stage is that we look forward to data from ongoing studies becoming available.” "

Seems like hopium.

Seems like hopium.

Even if it is with the way this market has been behaving it won't give it back even after it forgets the news it ran up on. It just reminds traders that even if this headline isn't what they want the headline they do want is coming at some point.

Gilead stuff looks like yet more BS from them. At some point they need to die to a malpractice fire if they keep this up. They're basically using their drug as a snake oil without a single shred of published evidence that it helps.

Markets seem to be soaking it up, though.

The Fed put is a powerful thing, it may take us a lot of quarters to get full earnings back but the market will be setting new highs well before that ever happens. People get to continue to experience why bull markets are hated they have a way of forming that will fuck you every time if you think you can wait for safe moment. Let the dollar cost averaging back to fully invested begin...

The power of indexes. The reality is a small-ish number of stocks are running hot. The rest aren't and they are dragging the index behind. Just compare SPY to MSFT/AAPL/AMZN. They are the heaviest weight stocks in the index but are crushing it in returns since the bottom. Its why all index portfolios are bad. They are good for a base to build on, but good stock picks are really the difference in returns.

XOM and CVX both up 3% while oil plunges 7% to 18.50 a barrel. Crazy times.

I have read conflicting reports on the Gilead news. Today might be a day to take some profit. Fundamentally I dont see the Gilead news and Trump's "we are letting states reopen" really being a cause for a large rush upwards. Besides "irrational exuberance". The big Liberal economies arent opening anytime soon, no matter what Trump says.
