4/5/2020 Plan: With many US States restricting travel, Uber (Ticker: UBER) volume is way down. Their Uber Eats service is likely way up, but with fierce competition, they are losing money on every delivery. While I do enjoy using the service, I have been bearish on Uber and Lyft. With […]
3/29/2020 Plan: Volatility remains high with the market having multiple up days in a row last week. With much of the world staying home and many states ordered to do so, we plan a trade in Activision Blizzard (Ticker: ATVI), a name that should hold up well while more people […]
