I didnt see any news posted either.

When is this Italian Bond Auction tomorrow? Is this something that will effect us in premarket or mid day?

I guess it was just an exaggerated move due to the lack of liquidity. The sharpness of it was pretty dramatic.

How do you keep track of so many stocks? Looks like you must be a longer-term trader or buy and hold.

I only have 1 core position, 2 max. I used to spread out my picks and I lost focus, spent too much on commissions.

In the end, instead of trying to diversify with different stocks, I chose to stick with the S&P ETF SPY.

Why not call it thin-sliced ham?

Because that would be thin sliced ham. Peamel bacon is thickly sliced and brined. Totally different.
