If this lands - this is what program progression looks like.

I’m gonna be drunk with power

Getting my first dose soon. I'm young (28) and in good health, but AZ allows anyone to volunteer as crowd control/etc for those in line to get the shot. After your shift, you get your first shot and an appointment for your second. I'm excited! After hearing about the potential long-term complications from COVID, I would be so disappointed if I got it right at the very end of this pandemic.

Yeah demand is about to go through the roof, IMO.

Looking forward to the day we can lock this thread. I feel like we should have a small ceremony or something.

Wonderful to see the timelines for vaccine availability being pushed up. Truly a miracle of medical achievement that many people - Trump, Biden, Fauci, a whole lot of brilliant doctors - deserve credit for.

I spent most of Saturday in a confused state of hangover anyway - vbg. Glad you were able to get out here. Gorgeous weather right now.

If you're an IPA guy (or if others are), the Four Peaks Hop Knot is a go to.

how fun! May is goregous. I'm unfortunately a bit underwhelmed by the local beer but venturing west does bring us closer to CA and CO, which have tremendous beer IMO and thus most bars have those at the very least. I live in Phoenix, so unfortunately my knowledge of Scottsdale is a bit on the smaller side, but a few recommendations: OHSO is wonderful - huge patio, good bar food, and I'm a fan of the beer selection. Hula's Modern Tiki is a fun Hawaiian fusion that has an all day happy hour on Wednesday which... coincidentally.. is today now that I think about it. Wren House comes highly recommended, but I haven't been. Arizona Wilderness in downtown Phoenix is new and has a huge tap list and their beer is really solid. Four Peaks is probably the most notable AZ brewery. Good, not amazing. San Tan and Huss are both pretty solid. AS FOR MEXICAN FOOD: If you're interested in authentic Mexican tacos, I recommend Tacos Chiwas or Tacos Huichos. I've done... extensive research. La Santisima is a wonderful authentic joint with tacos/burritos/etc. People rave about Diego Pops in Scottsdale. Blanco Tacos/Tequila is good and a bit more "mainstream" than the authentic places above. Feel free to PM me if you come across particulars and want some feedback.

Watching Iowa and Wisconsin battle. They are both really good. Garza is unreal. I haven’t seen a ton of either outside of our games. we beat Iowa twice and should have beaten UW. big ten is really difficult - I’m more impressed with IU than I was before I turned this game on.

Vegas always knows.

This is... not great.

pinning this! welcome back fasbjd.

That’s beautiful handwriting tbh

This is good news: but it puts into stark view what was probably already true even before the additional doses: our problem is very much about the organizational capacity to administer the doses, not as much acquiring them. It looks like we've seen steady, continual growth of vaccines given per day. I believe I saw a number of 3m/day as the ultimate goal and we've gone from 1m to 1.6m, so we're making progress... but I'd sure love if it sped up. We could also hit a blip soon if we run out of willing vaccine participants. The last number I saw, and with some quick googling looks like it is probably accurate, is that 33% of the population are skeptical of the vaccine. That's 100m people.

We gonna complete the triple here with an IUBB win, a commitment, and a Brady loss?

Does anyone have a link to a compelling report on what exactly happened here and how the stock tanked back down so quickly? So much news coverage, it's hard to sift thru.

Cannot recommend it enough. The M1 processor is superbly fast. I already had the keyboard and monitors, so I just had to add a mouse and boom. The price is right too.

I have like 7 Apple products, I might as well complete the collection and own some of their stock vbg. Unrelated to this thread but the new Mac Mini is dynamite. I watch IU games (this time, also a Pacer game) in my office these days.

never a loss until you sell

What are good sites to see where the shorts are/what volume they are at/when they expire/etc?

Time in the market beats timing the market but REDDIT BEATS ALL.

Boooooring. But you’re right - I’m a DCA guy with an auto-balancing target date fund, so as hands off as one can get for about 95% of my invested monies.

My big question is that if these Hedge funds had a huge vulnerability leaving these short positions open, why didn’t a different hedge (instead of small retail investors) make that profit?

What's a good way to research when options expire?
