Today was all about the masks, and that’s what we traded inside the Exodus trading room. The Fly led the way with an early $APT buy, then came $BIMI, $NBY, & $AHPI. I also tried my hand in food delivery again with $WTRH and I believe fly took the $APRN. But, the gains were all in PPE, personal protective equipment.
The market was down another 4% today, but I could hardly tell. $TWTR did stink up my portfolio, but I kept it intact. I also want to watch some of these beat up oil names for a bounce. Trump is meeting with some oil execs tomorrow, and I’m betting we get some good news.

And, since there is so much action in small cap land, here is your lotto screen. The funny thing is take a look at the inverse ETFs populating, do you fell lucky?
See you guys at the open. Maybe we even get a LIMIT DOWN. Long protective masks in size into the bell.
