    I agree with all of this except the part about this not being an official season. If the Twins win the World Series I want it to be official. If the Twins don't win the World Series then I won't care about whether it was official. And I think that not making it official would diminish the joy that will result if this thing can get off the ground and stay off the ground. I have some appreciation for the sanctity of baseball, but in a pandemic it seems to me that we fans should have the joy of rooting for a championship that is not going to be burdened by an asterisk.

    I don't know who deserves to be shamed here, because I don't know the numbers. When parties are at an impasse, sometimes the solution is to expand the deal. Revenue sharing seems to work in other sports. Maybe the answer is to go to revenue sharing for three years, perhaps with the players getting 55% this year, then 53% next year and then 50% the following year. . Another solution would be for the owners to give any profits for this season to the players. This would make sense to me as an owner, because otherwise I will probably be facing a loss. In one of the worst years ever, if I were an owner I would consider any deal that allows me to merely break even. And an owner facing a $10 million loss would still be better off with a $5 million loss. I wish that we knew the numbers. I hope that the owners are sharing their projections with the players. If not, then shame on the owners.

    This is well-written and makes sense. If i were the Twins I would be scouting and courting the $20,000 players. looking for the best prospects, and luring them with every permissible enticement, such as free luxury housing at the training facilities, delicious meals, lots of coaching and video and every other permissible perk. This could be a lot like college recruiting where perks might make a difference for some of the better prospects.

    A.J. was my first thought when I saw the title to the thread, but I am fine with Jeter. And I am not sure that hate is the right word, but I cannot think of a better one at the moment.

    Interesting article. I look forward to the takeaways that might benefit current players, and I wonder how the current coaching falls in terms of the schools of thinking that you have referred to. And you are doing great job of explaining this.

    Metal trash cans might work. And swimming pools. Maybe drain lakes and add liners? And everyone should get their car oil changed.

    Someone just sent me the following link that adds some color to this issue -- https://library.wilmingtontrust.com/z-featureditems/featured-2/oil-market-collapse

    You should have thought of that a month ago.

    This is just a theory, but I have heard that it's expensive to completely shut down a well and then restart it later. In the meantime, there is very little storage available and they cannot just dump the oil. If wish that everyone would fill their gas tanks now -- that might help some. And this might be a good time to look for additional storage for the U.S. strategic reserves. In the meantime, this is probably going to decimate the oil industry. Thanks, OPEC.

    Oil below zero, and no place to store more. On the other hand, the air in Los Angeles has been very clean.

    I was hoping to have this pick before Monday.

    I am hearing similar views..The bounce feels good, but I fear that bottoms could be tested.
  13. glunn
    I love these articles. Thanks, Heezy.
  14. glunn
    I am betting that this is dead cat bounce, that will be followed by significant capitulation, followed by more bailouts, followed by a bottom. I hope that I am wrong. The human and economic toll of this looks worse every day.

    This thread is a welcome taste of what we are missing.

    Tovar -- played all 9 positions in a single game.

    I am wondering if we will be able to vote to fire the manager if this does not go well for the Twins.
  18. glunn
    You might want to wait a bit. I won't be surprised if the market drops another 20%.
  19. glunn
    Me too. Very painful today.
  20. glunn
    I think that could turn out to be a GREAT strategy, and I have seen articles recommending it.

    Welcome to TD, and asking such questions will always be OK.
  22. glunn
    It is now subject to exercise, but the party on the other side has not acted so far, which is not unusual. I expect a bounce tomorrow, but capitulation before the end of the week. I wish that I had waited longer to start going long. On the other hand, considering the prospects for fixed income, I think that equities will come back strong after the virus runs its course.

    You might also consider selling puts.

    I don't have the time to trade while the market is open, but it's easy to play the options market by putting in trades for the next day. For example, I just entered an order to sell a McDonalds (MCD) January 2021 put tomorrow at a strike price of $150. MCD closed on Friday above 177. I am hoping that some algorithm freaks out if the stock market tanks, because my order is for a premium of $15, so MCD will need to go below $135 for me to eventually lose on the trade. Most of my trades are not getting executed, but I see opportunities to buy solid companies at huge discounts and to keep large premiums if the call options expire.

    I am thinking that Friday was a dead cat bounce, and hoping that it continues on Monday. Monday might be a good day for hedging.
