Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

AVII,BCRX,CPHD,GNBT,HEB,NNVC.OB,NVAX,SVA significantly up
best NVAX with 40%

+4.9% in average today, if I made no mistake

[Binkerbear]

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

gsgs - Thanks for staying on top of things. I've been gardening (vegetable gardening, as you might imagine) and I've been getting lazy on watching the markets !

I can only quibble slightly. NVAX is not up 40 % but an unbelievable "whopping" 75 % (up 61 cents to 1.42) and BCRX and AVII are up well over 20 %.

Major red flag or DOT (whatever that is). I'll get back on top of this but now I've got to get these vegetable seeds planted now more than ever. Then, I can sit back and watch CNBC !

Summary: Pandemic threat-level market indicators are flashing bright red.

Warning: Markets do overreact but people are betting with their sometimes hard-earned money.

Only two questions remain:

Who is John Galt ? (and) Where is GR ?

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

will someone please help to get updated prices for mortality bonds ?

[Binkerbear]

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

Pre-market NVAX is up an additional 135 % over Friday's close. All the others are up big as well.

So now the indicators are even more alarming and indicating (to me anyway) that the real situation is much, much worse than what the media and Janet Napolitano are saying.

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

Biota (maker of Relenza) up another 87% to 1.58 , volume 17M

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

BCRX,NVAX up at ~3:40PM EDT

NEW YORK -- Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., the third-largest U.S. life insurer by 2008 sales, has bought gold for the first time the company's 152-year history to hedge against further asset declines.
"Gold just seems to make sense. It's a store of value," Chief Executive Officer Edward Zore said in an interview following his comments at a conference hosted by Standard & Poor's in Brooklyn. "In the Depression, gold did very, very well."
Northwestern Mutual has accumulated about $400 million in gold, and Zore said the price could double or even rise fivefold if the economy continues to weaken. Gold gained 10 percent last month, the most since November. The commodity has more than tripled since 2000, rising for eight straight years. Gold futures for August delivery slipped $4.80 to $975.50 at 4:03 p.m. in New York.
"The downside risk is limited but the upside is large," Zore said. "We have stocks in our portfolio that lost 95 percent." Gold "is not going down to $90."
Policyholder-owned Northwestern Mutual, based in Milwaukee, ranks third by 2008 life insurance premiums according to data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The data excludes annuities.

Re: Pandemic threat-level market indicators

why is gold not going down to 90 or whatever ?
Is gold really needed in our economy ?

Buy oil instead. Get money from the feds for
contributing to the
strategic national oil reserve.

Or steal or sugar or such.

Or, better, create a currency where we can trust in.

That'll be the day.

Gold is for one thing: Preservation of purchasing power when you have a doomed dollar.
