Wild-Assed 2

Bought some Jan 17, 2020 calls on TLRA. Motley Fool is pushing it as an alternative to TTD. I'm not a big Fool fan but their influence plus increasing revenues might give the stock a push.

Don't quite understand why payment stocks like SQ, STNE and PAGS, to a lesser extent, get clobbered on days like this.

At some point HSBC with plenty of earnings to cover the now 6.75% dividend becomes a good buy despite Brexit worries.

About January 2 I bought PGX, PFF, JDD and BDJ after each hit or came close to hitting 5 year lows due to interest rate rises resulting from Fed actions and remarks. Interest rates have now come down substantially but it seems the rate reductions in the past week had relatively little additional effect on the above named issues. Accordingly I sold half of each today figuring rates mayhap will not continue to fall sharply from here and in any case the stocks weren't really responding.
