Travel industry, airlines and hotels, will definitely get a nice revenue bump, I'm just not sure how much of that has already been factored into stock price. Business travel will be down permanently, companies are embracing Zoom and other methods in lieu of traveling. My company has offices in a few cities and people would go back and forth all the time. It's already been announced that meetings will continue to be virtual even when things are back to "normal". A lot of companies are going to dispense with travel as much as possible.

It is kind of a double whammy on business travel. Like you said, companies are embracing the cost savings and convenience of Zoom.......And who do you visit when you are on-site? I used to travel a ton but the question isn't even whether or not we can do our job remotely, it is whether or not we get ANY benefit being on-site if our main contacts typically work from home now.

It's crazy how much my energy bill went up with me having to take even just one WFH day a week, well besides the hybrid school thing.

Yeah, even the water bill was significantly higher. Used to shower at my work's gym or was traveling. More dishes, more drinking water, cooking, etc.

I'm probably going to regret not getting into FRX but I just can't pull the trigger.

How do these deals work? Will 1 share of FRX turn into 1 share of BODY or will they be some transfer ratio?

Good question. Beachbody isn't currently publicly traded so maybe the ticker symbol will just change but I'm not positive.

[MickeyDavis]

FRX is up to $11.85 pre market, I was hoping for a dip to $10. I'm undecided about jumping in.

But for the most part it looks like a red day coming up. Again.

Up to $12.40 now. My indecision cost me. Waiting for a dip that may not happen. I'm not going to chase though, I'll sit this one out.

Thank you. Literally every other move besides ONTX I've made since 2/10 has cost me dearly.

The past two days have been bad for many (today was bad for me). I'm looking at these dips to buy a little more, over time it will actually help if the market keeps it's up trend (I expect it to).

The only green in a sea of red for me today.

[MickeyDavis]

Only 20 minutes in but good to see some green.

May I ask why you like HPST?

[Stannis]

I might buy if there's the usual lunchtime dip.

HPST is a complete roll of the dice on CBD. I'll most likely sell if it hits a buck, or sell at least half. There may be a RS coming and I'm not fond of those usually so we'll see.

[BucksFanSD]

Airlines and cruise lines accelerating today. UAL up big. COVID cases down 77% in six weeks. Some are predicting herd immunity by April. Also, PLTR rebounding.

Feels good to have a day where I don't get crushed.

Been looking at Skyworks, SWKS, they make semiconductors that will go in almost everything.

My NSPR finally moving.

They rely on China and Apple a lot which scares me a little.

I chose to pass on them and just add more TSM.

Biden will soon put an executive order on the chip shortage. I already have Lam Research and ASML, Nvidia, and TSM. But I am looking to add ICHR and KLIC. Both of these are smaller caps and should see a benefit if an executive order is passed.

ICHR makes gas delivery systems used by chip manufacturers. KLIC makes the machines that package semiconductors.

With TSM already at 100% production, big chip manufacturers will have to expand. The equipment providers like ICHR and KLIC should see benefits.

UCTT is a name to look at as well. They do the same thing as ICHR and are bigger.

Who has a couple plays for next week?

[Stannis]

Who has a couple plays for next week?

Almost everything is recovered Friday and will probably pop again on Monday opening. So I'm going to take my time though. I'm not rushing into anything Monday morning. I made that mistake last week.

I'm reaching for plays. So far I have PDAC, they are a SPAC and acquired Li-Cycle. They are in Lithium Recycling like ABML and AMYZF but they haven't jumped as much.

ALTU has potential to get in on the new ARKX ETF (Space ETF). Rumors are ALTU will acquire Aerion. So they have two things that can go for them. A merger announcement + getting in Cathie Wood's ARKX ETF.

I might looking to ASTI, a penny stock that produces solar panels.

I'll probably add more to my steel call options. MT & VALE. I might consider getting into copper via FCX.

There's also bitcoin mining stocks. There's tons of these now that are flooding the market. I always pick them up and just sell them the next day for 20% gains lol.

[Stannis]

I think the best upcoming plays will be everything space. Cathie is about to launch ARKX which is going to be HUGE.

ALTU is my play here. If the Aerion rumors are true, the merge will be worth 3 billion dollars. Aerion is backed by Boeing, And Aerion also have agreements with NASA.

I already have Virgin Galactic.
