He has been around the game a lot I think he could help Josh out when things start to get tough ..

But I wouldn't mind Joe Flacco he wants to be a back up

- gerbe75pts

Maybe but even so, why can’t Barkley do the same thing?

Just seems pointless to me

Maybe Barkley is a brilliant mind to help Allen develop....?

But if you’re going by what he’s accomplished vs guys like Fitz & Flacco, it’s not even debatable

Having a really smart guy like Fitz who’s been around all over with tons of experience,
or a guy like Flacco who’s been around a while & even won a Super Bowl...

I mean, how could you NOT prefer that to Barkley?

And that’s just the mentoring part...
I’d say it’s also quite obvious that should Allen get hurt, I’d have much more confidence in either of them than Barkley to help us win games

And i don’t think at this point that either guy would be a threat to Allen without some seriously bad play or injury

Fitz is definitely my first choice,
but if he stays in Miami then the Flacco idea isn’t a bad one imo

Can’t believe how good Huberdeau has become.

If we can get anyone like him it’s a win

- sbroads24


Huberdeau has been lighting it up the last few seasons now, just like Barkov I think it took a little longer for people to realize just how good he is. Playing in Florida will do that to someone I guess with the lack of exposure.

Could be 5 mill by Monday. There doing 3 day splits in NY, using what letter your last name starts with depends on what day you can put in a claim.

For some reason, this came up on my Youtube feed. I remember this. One of the funnier Hasek moments.

From our "Investers" perspective, can someone provide rationale on the DOW going up 30 minutes into the opening bell?

Jobless claims lower then expected, stimulus package passed, government talking about opening government sooner rather then later.

Next few weeks will make or break the country if the virus rate slows down with social distancing. If it doesn’t then you’ll see another huge dip

The stimulus bill looks to be doing it’s job as they are voting on it today. I’m assuming that the top dogs were expecting higher unemployment levels as well. Major market movements are always dictated by the hedge funds and pension funds and we are also coming up to the end of the quarter so they have to do their asset rebalancing and asset relocation to satisfy their books.

So one of two things can happen, we may have officially seen the bottom as the S&P 500 as held through some major resistance levels as its started to ascend this past week.

The other thing is this could be a short term boost till the end of the quarter (end of the month) and then we may see one final plunge to a lower bottom.

Time will tell.

My guess is we will as quarterly earnings reports come out.

Wouldn't these be already priced in? At least the vast majority in the number stocks "repriced" and the extent of repricing?

You would think, but as I said earlier, investors are like teenage girls. They overreact to every piece of news.

Virus news is more important right now then quarterlys and job numbers. They already were expecting horrible job/money numbers. Those are all temporary once the virus is under control. If its not contained then the bottom can be really really low

Dalton seems like the best fit for a mentor role.

Winston and cam are too much “me me me” personalities to give a poop about helping Allen.

I believe that’s why we are seeing gains today as well, unemployment was already priced in and the numbers were not high enough to suggest something we did not already expect.

Stimulus bill seemed to outweigh the unemployment levels (which obviously was the intention) along with confidence that people will soon be going back to work easing these unemployment levels.

Macroeconomic indicators still look god awful though in terms of GDP and what not so it will be interesting to see. We may have hit the bottom last week though, but it’s too early to tell.

I’d remain cautious until mid April.

I can't take Cuomo at his word that he's serious about containment until NYC bans in and out travel. Or should we just wait until the FL numbers explode because of those that traveled there.

It’s a good approximation. The first week of April will be telling.

Dow just hit 22,000. Keep it going. I can't imagine how (frank)ing pissed i would be being a Client's of Looserville with the disastrous advice he has been giving. Hopefully for his sake Canada is prepping their own Stimulus. Difference is that 3rd world plan will be worth thousands, not trillions.
