***Official A-League Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread II***

Ive basically have been day trading the past 5 weeks. The stock market is such a game right now. Sold an option of Dicks Sporting Goods for a grand after I based a thesis of increased guidance based on increase in e-commerce and a summer camping/fishing/boating/home fitness equipment all set to increase. With any other brick and mortar sporting goods stores are probably going out of business. And boom went the dynamite today.

Sounds like luck to me. Good luck with your long term trading goals.

Theres a lot of money in the market right now that is traveling from the stay at home boom stocks into the stocks that have been crushed. Friggen Camping World is up 200%. Google Trends got me in on Peloton early. And that pretty much got me going. With a 120 percent return on investment. It also justified an increase in LuluLemon which I have rid for 80 percent gains. Also Microsoft, Lowes and Chipolte have killed it. 1 in 4 restaurants are going out of business. They will become Chipoltes... with drive through.



This is what I have become without baseball and Colombia. Sigh.

This. Markets are too volatile right now. If you want to take risks at least get the airlines while they're still pennies and hope they don't go bankrupt.

Buying Norweigan cruise lines January 21st 2022 call options and hedging by shorting it short term over the next 9 months. I think it will return a good double on investment, with the hedge costing me about half of possible profit. But options with longer expiration dates gain equity before expiration and you can sell them on an up day. And basically rebuy at another price target above and do it with all profits. Then take the original money and put it in Microsoft or Amazon.

[melanimal_old]

if things do go south, you can short the SPY ETF with a put worth about half your portfolio. It should save you from losing no more than 10 percent that day. But you got to get out of the short position before a rebound

Im currently riding Sabre which is the SAAS behind booking websites and airlines/cruises. Very cheap stock at 12 dollars a share, I bought 200 dollars at when it was 6 dollars. Though previously it had 5 straight years as a 30 dollar stock. It will get to 15 by Friday and the options with go up 300 percent. Sabre is basically free money next week. Also Goodyear tires is way too cheap right now. I have also had a small percentage of my portfolio in IheartMedia. Which on Friday rose as much as 25 percent mid day, so I sold half before it fell to up 10 percent. The return of sports will help IheartRadio and their podcasts.

I guarantee you a 20 percent return next week on Sabre, Goodyear and Tenneco.

TSA numbers have doubled this month in passengers and Open tables data shows a 30 percent increase over the past 30 days in people returning to dining out.

People need to be ready for any vaccine news. Because those decimated stocks will regain 75 percent of their value in a week.

I put some into GNUS myself. It rode all-time highs last week and then came back down but I think it'll gain traction again upon the release of its TV channel. They're backed by an experienced management team (many of which came from Disney) and already have partnerships with leading media providers like Netflix. Also...pandemic means children need entertainment.

Does anyone even want to see their team win the WS this year?

76 games followed by 16 teams allowed in the playoffs?

I’d rather the Braves didn’t win that sh*t show.

I already feel embarrassed for the fanbase that’s forced to call themselves champions in 2020.

Total sh*t show between the players and owners right now.

[TyGuy505]

Still not as embarrassing as the Astros calling themselves the 2017 champs

[saaltydog]

If we even have a season it won't mean ****. All stats and winners won't be taken seriously.

[saaltydog]

I’m kind of thinking they should just cancel it now.

When I thought they could get 100-120 games played talking about double headers and everything I was like ok, not the perfect season but a respectable one

Now honestly 78 games, possibly fewer.... just forget it. I can’t possibly take that seriously.

I agree, I want baseball more than anyone. However if we are taking about 50-75 games don't even bother. It's 100+ or see you next year.

[TheBateman]

Dude.....

[saaltydog]

“ the union proposal contains expanded 16-team playoffs in both 2020 and 2021”


Wait a minute... we’re ruining 2021 now as well? Is this is a joke? I hope a deal isn’t struck so we don’t set a precedent for this if that’s the case.

Literally best I can hope for is to not ruin baseball beyond this year.

Pretty sure the WC experiment has been total sh*t as it is.

We gonna make the first round single elimination for 16 teams or something? Even a 3 game series would be a slap in the face for those who finished with the best record, forced to play the 8th seed in such a truncated series.

At this point will there even be a 2021? The new CBA is going to be contentious as ****. Especially if the owners force the 50 game season. I could see a strike to at least eat the early part of the season. Too much money for too many greedy people.

If baseball ends up on some 50 game bullsht schedule I vote we don't even play a fantasy season this year. Why even waste the time on a 4 week regular season or whatever it'd end up as. Double the money for 2021 if these dickheads even play a full season then.

Or if we do play it, money goes to 2021 and the winner gets a pat on the back and a gold participation ribbon. No name in the record books and no official title as champ.

Nah let's play it out. Missing fantasy and this is the only chance we'll get for a while with hockey and basketball now done.

The Jays somehow getting the best player in the draft at 5th was a pleasant surprise.

[SoutheastBeast1]

The Jays somehow getting the best player in the draft at 5th was a pleasant surprise.

And assuming you don’t count the Orioles because that’s like a minor league team, the Jays will still manage to have the worst record in the AL East for the next decade.










Lol at Torkelson not being the beat player though. Widely known as the consensus #1 this year.

I wonder why Jared Kelley slid so far, many had him as a top 10 pick. He was drafted by the White Sox in the 2nd and was committed to UT. The kid just dominated teams here locally.

Oh chit you're back. Time to avoid thread again.

Hey sometimes when you know you can’t win a battle it’s best to flee.

I can respect that.

I’ve dropped a lot of dead carcasses around me in this thread over the years.

Usually the same carcasses over and over too cause some folks never learn
