MGM Springfield has worst month ever as Massachusetts ...

Is it too late for a Covid upgrade on Movie theaters??
Many Casinos are implementing new covid guidlines, MGM Just opened up in springfield MA and movie theaters could take the same measures with wipes,hand santizer, social spacing, and temperature checking. I dont see how some thermal cameras and social distancing attendents would be too complex of a tast to make movie theaters an operational thing again. Especially with the vaccine becoming available. Then movie theaters would be prepared for future pandemics.

NEW HIGHS ACROSS THE BOARD
TEVA BEATS, CTL IN-LINE
SANDERS Win Sends UNH Soaring
Today’s market was higher this morning from the start and finished right on the highs with the DJIA +275.08 (.94%), NASDAQ +87.02 (.90, S&P 500 +21.70, the Russell +11.86 (.71%) and DJ Transports +100.73 (.92%) but still 5.5% off the highs. The DJIA was driven by UNH +86 and AAPL +53 DPs with winners 20:9 over losers and JPM unchanged. Market internals were 3:2 on both the NYSE and NASDAQ after being as much as 4:1 in the first hour. As I mentioned above, the DJIA was driven by the Bernie Sanders win in NH, and the fact that no one on Wall Street actually believes he has a chance to beat Trump because of his socialist leanings. Just goes to show how the market actually thinks about the election and the winners and losers that are perceived based on the candidates. Energy got a lift from Oil prices along with information technology while consumer staples were weak.
Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights.
SECTORS: Other names in the news: The early news was a better set of numbers from China on new cases of Coronavirus and the upgrade to WYNN and LVS by Merrill. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that it takes into consideration that the Chinese have changed the way they classify cases, mid-stream. Now, if you have a positive test result, but you don’t show symptoms, you are not part of the problem. LVS finished $71.13 +2.28 (3.3%) and WYNN was $136.82 +4.83 (3.7%). In an unrelated development, MGM reported that Jim Murren, it’s hand-picked CEO and Chairman will step down before his contract expires. Blamed for flagging results from Las Vegas to Springfield, MA., the board said it will start a search for a successor, and the stock, which closed $33.66 +.95, traded as high as $36.22. The company then reported their earning as in-line and the stock continued to fall to $31.70.
CSCO reported and the numbers were just okay, and guidance was a bit of a disappointment. After closing $49.93 +.80, it traded $50.71 and then fell to $47.56 and the last is $47.76 -2.17 (4.34%). CYBR, a cybersecurity name that has risen from under $70 to $144, beat numbers by a mile on earnings, had solid revenues, but also weak on guidance. The stock finished $119.38 -19.52 (14.05%). CVS also reported in-line and while the stock traded up from $66.79 early last week to hit $75.25 before closing basically unchanged @ $73.75 - .10.
LYFT continued lower all day after last night’s disappointing report and broke solidly below $50 to finish $48.46 -5.48 (10.16%).
We had one win and one loss today on the earnings front. TEVA beat (we’re long 400 @ $9.97 12/3) and the stock finished the day $13.40 + 1.07 (8.68%). Unfortunately, we also own CTL 3/15 calls (although we sold part of the position between $ .80 -.83) and the company only reported in-line and the stock finished extended hours $14.50 -.45. Our cost was only $.485 and we only have half left, and I’ll probably be a re-buyer tomorrow, since my long-term view is very bullish this name. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I HATE EARNINGS !!!
BIOPHARMA: was HIGHER with BIIB -.29, ABBV +1.64, REGN +9.55, ISRG +6.18, MYL -.19, TEVA (see above), VRTX -5.60, BHC +.53, INCY -.31, ICPT +1.85, LABU +1.28 and IBB $122.89 +.22 (.18%).
CANNABIS: stocks were LOWER across the board with TLRY -.56, CGC -.47, CRON -.15, GWPH -2.96, ACB -.09, PYX -.55, NBEV -.02, CURLF -.11, KERN -.88 and MJ $15.74 -.30 (1.87%).
DEFENSE: was LOWER with LMT -3.35, RTN +.45, GD +1.76, TXT -.32, UTX -.10, NOC -.31, BWXT +.67, TDY -2.94, and ITA $231.00 -7.86 (3.29%).
RETAIL was HIGHER with M + .55, JWN +1.23, KSS +.76, DDS +2.67, JCP +.04 (5.96%), WMT +.40, TGT +1.40, TJX +1.07, RL +2.32, UAA +.34, LULU +2.36, TPR +.89, CPRI +.54, and XRT $45.10 +.75 (1.69%).
FAANG and Big Cap: were MIXED with GOOGL +8.94, AMZN -5.28, AAPL +5.44, FB +2.12, NFLX +3.31, NVDA +3.51, TSLA -22.38, BABA +5.87, BIDU +2.41, IBM +1.60, BA +1.58, CAT +2.87, DIS +.10 and XLK $101.12 +.42 (.43%).
FINANCIALS were MIXED with GS +1.21, JPM unch., BAC -.03, MS +.31, C -.09, PNC +.21, AIG +.13, TRV -1.67, AXP +.38 and XLF $31.14 +.02 (.06%).
OIL, $51.17 + 1.23. Today’s action was a strong rally to move up toward $52.00. A close over $52.14 would set up a test of $55.00. The stocks were HIGHER with the XLE $55.04 +.73 (1.34%).
METALS, GOLD: $1,571.60 + 1.50 after trying $1,565 and rallying to close up on the day, we are again set up to try $1,580 again. We bought the GLD 2/28 150 calls @ $ .84 and they closed out on the 50% Down Rule.
BITCOIN: closed $10,525 +120. We broke to the upside to hit $10,620 today and closing nearer the highs. A solid performance. We own 750 GBTC with an average of $8.89. GBTC closed $13.50 + .50 today.
Tomorrow is another day.

Back in 2014 my buddies and I headed to Vegas for our senior year spring break. On the last night of the trip, my drunken buddy and I decided to go and do some not so legal things in a Mandalay Bay bathroom and we were caught by security. I was taken to a back room where I was searched but had nothing found on me, whereas my buddy may have been caught in possession of some not very legal substances. When in Rome! Long story short, they kept my buddy in custody but let me go, but not before handing me a trespass advisory form, effectively banning me from all MGM properties in Vegas. No problem, I thought. Doing Vegas once is plenty enough for me. However, MGM recently opened up a new MGM Grand casino in Springfield, MA and I’ve gamed there on several occasions now. My only concern is, I’d like to get a Player’s Card to accumulate points and earn rewards for play, but I’m scared that I’ll get arrested on the spot if I’m somehow on a blacklist that extends beyond those MGM properties in Vegas. Anyone have any thoughts or insights into whether or not it’d be safe to sign up?

Hi there! I get sent here from jobs so I hope this is an appropriate post for the sub.
An MGM casino is opening up here in Springfield, MA and I managed to get a job in the Cage for when it opens. Something they mentioned during orientation was that the cage cashiers get tips, which I was completely unaware of and was a pleasant surprise. That being said though, tips for the Cage here are divvied up between every cage employee and done so based on how many hours they had worked and then subsequently paid out every two week pay period. With that information, how much bonus tip money could I be looking at making each pay period? I'm not really expecting or hoping for anything too extravagant, just curious about a ballpark figure.
Thanks for any help!

What follows is my thoughts on what may or may not appear in Battlefield V. It's a combination of practices I think the team will likely follow when designing the game and it's content as well as what I would personally like to see in the game.
4 Classes redesigned:There's usually some variation in the role of classes between games and I had some ideas to share. Key changes are splitting the AT role between Support and Engineer, making engineer a more useful CQ fighter, and making Support a dedicated mid range fire support role.
Engineer: CQ combatant with gadgets for close range demolition and repairing damaged vehicles and gear. Moves faster than other classes and is more resistant to explosives. Uses SMGs and Shotguns.
Satchel Charge: High Explosive that can be placed on walls, vehicles, or floors, or thrown a distance unpredictably.
AT Mines: Anti-armor charge activated by pressure
Repair Kit: A variety of tools for fixing Tanks, Trucks, and emplaced guns.
Sticky Bomb: Anti-Tank Grenades that stick to surfaces and explodes after a time.
~~~
Support: Specialized in suppressing infantry at medium range, providing ammo, and dealing with armored vehicles at range. Moves slower than other classes and is more resistant to suppression effects. Uses LMGs.
PIAT: Short Range, High Damage AT weapon. Fires in an Arc
Bazooka/Panzershreck: AT Rocket. Good Damage. (US/UK/France/Japan, Bazooka. Germany/SU/Italy, Panzershreck
AT Rifle: Long Range AT Weapon, but low Damage. (UK/US/France, Boys. Germany/Italy, Solothurn. SU, PTRD. Japan, Type 97.
Ammo Box: Provides ammo of all types to Soldiers.
~~~
Medic: Frontline combatant helping push the assault with rifle grenades and first aid. Provides bonus capture rate on objectives. Uses SLRs and Bolt-Actions (no scopes).
Medical Box: Provides healing in an area overtime.
Medical Bag: Provides healing in bursts to a single soldier.
AT Rifle Grenade: Provides light damage to armor ** Frag Rifle Grenade:** Provides damage over a large area to infantry
Phosphorus Rifle Grenade: Provides a screen of burning material to block line of sight and damage any who enter.
Smoke Rifle Grenade: Provides a large screen of smoke that obscures an area, but isn’t harmful.
~~~
Scout: Stealthy soldiers who can take targets out at long range or sneak behind enemy lines, plant traps and provide reconnaissance. Spotted soldiers are spotted for longer and sprints quietly. Uses Bolt-Actions and Shotguns.
Welrod: Silenced pistol that fires a single bullet that deals high damage at close range. Will kill in a single headshot from under 10m.
Incendiary Trip Mine: A string attached to an incendiary hand grenade.
Frag Trip Mine: A string attached to a fragmentation grenade
Binoculars: High-Magnification optics that spot many enemies at long range.
Climbing Gear: Rope and Grapple that allow a sniper to climb walls, cliffs, and trees and hang there for a time.
