    Long time listener, first time caller.

    I bought a $27.50 strike 1/15/21 CCL call yesterday for $2 and they're trading around $2.80 now.

    Should I get out while the getting is good and look at some shorter term puts or keep on holding?

    I work in oil & gas finance and those offshore drillers typically do screen well due to cash flow from long-term contracts until a downturn hits. Basically the E&Ps say, “remember that contract we signed with you.... LOL, force majuere.” Some just used Covid this past week to break contracts.

    But since I work in O&G finance, I’m also 50/50 if I’ll have a job a month from today.

    If you want an o&g play look for something primarily natural gas. Anything that is heavy in the Permian oil is at the mercy of Russia/Saudi/covid and I don't think it gets better any time soon. Russia is too proud to come running back to the table this quickly.

    With Permian shutting down the massive amounts of associated gas coming out of there has been going away. Natural gas prices are expected to climb over the next two years.

    Cheesecake Factory has apparently decided they “aren’t paying rent” at any locations in April due to CV. Interested to see how the market reacts to that news. Down 18% in premarket.

    CEO just kinda said “nope”

    I know personal finance and business finance are too drastically different things, but it’s still surprising to me how many businesses are just completely screwed after basically 2 weeks of income disruption.

    Ohio, IL, NJ, DC, NE all off the top of my head went into lockdown since 3/2@
