I’m talking about the market and the massive sell off we will see again.

What are your directives for today, sir?

Yeah, I was sorta referring to the same. I think over the weekend and into Monday we are going to see things rapidly get worse for the US and it will further shake confidence.

History has a way of repeating itself, look to the past to see the future.

I get it! Market is closed right now. History dictates that it will open again.

[The_Rural_Juror]

All Energy stocks I follow are up at least double digits.
Looks like the markets are responding well to Kenney's announcement.

Kenney didn't make the decision to fire teachers.... but yeah keep beating that drum.


Also, the investment in the pipeline will have a very long term benefit to things like health care, and education. So there is that.

F & G rely heavily on SMBs for their ad revenue. I can tell you that most SMB's are seriously lowering or outright stopping their ad spend right now. It's going to have a tangible impact on their numbers.

Interesting... always though the “come learn about Internet marketing” folks dominated the ad spend on FB.. which in this environment with all these unemployed people looking for ways to subsidize their EI would be booming

95% of Google's revenue still come from ads.

FB had a release last week or week before that usage has spiked up by 50% (70% in Italy) in the harder hit areas. Not sure what that translates to in terms of costs of that additional usage.

FB for the past couple years has been focused on SMB for their ad revenue growth so it's probably not looking good for them. This is probably why they rolled out the small biz grant program last week and giving away $100M to them to continue running ads. They need these guys to survive or they're gonna take a big hit themselves. Ad revenue estimated to drop by 20% for 2020 which seems a bit low to me, but maybe that was based on early covid-19 data.
