DJIA Rallies
POWELL on Sixty Minutes Set-up Rally
Today’s market was strong all night with Jay Powell speaking on Sixty Minutes last night, and it’s well beyond me what they took as so bullish. But clearly, they did. The Bonds losses were the market’s gains as stocks ran up and bonds were down over $2 1/2 right back to the bottom of the 8-week range. If you have anything in your name that sounds like labs, or pharma. Or therapeutics you were on the plus side of todays action. Forget all that stuff about real testing, get 8 people together and give them something and report it as a “trial.” That’s not to denigrate the results from several of the better names, but really folks, if it was so easy to find the right combination of drug, safety, and efficacy, 100,000 people wouldn’t be dead here by June 1. Yet, the DJIA was +1023 at the high and finished +911.95 (3.85%), NASDAQ +220.27 (2.44%), S&P 500 +90.21 (3.15%) and the Russell +76.70 (6.1%). Market internals were 8:1 on NYSE and 4:1 on NASDAQ, and volume was mediocre for a 900-point day. The DJIA was 29:1 with only MRK lower and BA the biggest gainer adding 140 DPs to the average. Pretty interesting since most airline executives say they don’t see things getting back to even 50% of normal for 2 years or more. Oh, yeah, then there’s that pesky issue with their 737 MAX being grounded already 3 times longer than they projected and still no realistic date in sight.
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, and we’ve grown to almost 1900 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s very informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!!
Tonight’s closing comment video https://youtu.be/TJReOfFcLFU
SECTORS: The news was all about COVID-19 cures and vaccines and tests today. You would think by some of the moves that the cure was here, tested, approved, and distributed. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The size of the “trials” at some of these newsworthy companies are as small as 8 participants. While it’s great that they are taking place and are showing some promise, the end is out in the distance. Today’s rally bears no reality to what the economy still has in front of it, or what the end result of testing and treatment will make the public more comfortable enough to take any kind of public transportation or spend any time in a restaurant, bar, or movie theater. On the “more good news from UBER,” the stock was higher today closing $33.62 +1.15 (3.5%) and all they had to do was fire another (3700 last week) 3000 workers.
FOOD SUPPLY: was HIGHER with TSN +2.69, BGS -.49, FLO +.71, CAG -.16, MDLZ +1.07, KHC +1.56, CALM -.04, JJSF +5.86, SAFM +7.05, LANC +2.81 and GO +.85.
BIOPHARMA was HIGHER with BIIB -.70, ABBV +.84, REGN -16.44, ISRG +18.00, GILD -1.56, MYL +1.34, TEVA +.59, VRTX -3.69, BHC +1.73, INCY +.34, ICPT +1.39, LABU +4.39 and IBB $133.20 +.95 (.72%).
CANNABIS: This group was HIGHER with TLRY +.35, CGC +.69, CRON +.11, GWPH +3.98, ACB +7.80, PYX +.08, NBEV +.08, CURLF +.64, KERN +.71 and MJ $12.94 +.95 (7.92%).
DEFENSE: was HIGHER with LMT +16.61, GD +8.55, TXT +3.41, NOC +17.15, BWXT +2.74, TDY +15.11, RTX +5.18 and ITA $151.38 +10.68 (7.59%).
RETAIL was HIGHER with M +.12, JWN +.28, KSS +1.50, DDS +.75, JCP -.054 (23), WMT +3.44, TGT +5.34, TJX +3.02, RL +4.55, UAA+.68, LULU +8.61, TPR +1.30, CPRI +1.92, and XRT $38.52 +1.57 (4.25%.
FAANG and Big Cap: were HIGHER with GOOGL +11.44, AMZN +13.26, AAPL +7.99, FB +2.71, NFLX -1.64, NVDA +10.40, TSLA +12.33, BABA +12.67, BIDU +16.52, CMG +29.92, CAT +7.22, BA +16.00, DIS +7.70, and XLK $95.76 +2.29 (2.45%).
FINANCIALS were HIGHER with GS +10.61, JPM +5.14, BAC +1.56, MS +3.06, C +3.83, PNC +7.30, AIG +1.97, TRV +3.91, AXP +6.58, V +7.98 and XLF $22.31 +1.08 (5.13%).
OIL, $31.65 +2.13. Oil was higher today with the close right on the falling 50-day moving average. I thought that the most recent downside break occurred from just under $29.00 and may stop this move too, but as we saw, it went right through that level. All the stocks on my list were higher with XLE $39.19 +3.20 (8.89%).
METALS, GOLD: $1,734.40 -21.90. After breaking the downtrend line around $17.27 we continued higher hitting $1746 before closing strong. Today’s trade up to 1,775 was a failure and we finished down on the day, we sold our long NEM.
BITCOIN: closed $9,745 +350. After breaking out over $7500 we have moved as high as just over $10,000 before gapping down overnight to trade as low as $8,400 earlier this week. We continue to recover higher prices and today broke above the $10030 close from which we gapped down on Monday. We added 350 shares of GBTC Wednesday @ $10.02 to our position of 400 @ $8.06, bringing our average price to $8.97. GBTC closed $11.41 + .36 today.
Tomorrow is another day.

Below are notable difficulty adjustments when hash rate fell and block times become slower for Bitcoin.
Current situation:
We are 1 day 10 hours from the next difficulty adjustment. It was hard for me to find the current average block time, I did find a median block time taken on the 17th and it was 14.8min. If we take from 14 min avg block time and to be adjusted back to 10 min, that will be -28.5% difficulty adjustment. For people who do not understand blockchain, basically with the Bitcoin 3rd halving, mining profitability fell for a lot of miners and they probably turned off their miners therefore the blockchain mining time became considerably slower which is reflected with slow transaction speed and higher fees as seen currently. Bitcoin sellers moving their BTC from wallet to an exchange are faced with slow transaction speed and therefore the sell pressure of BTC fell considerably which will attribute to the current price increase.
My personal opinion will be that there will be an impending big drop off around 10-15% in this week (18-23rd May 2020). I wish all my fellow Bitcoin compatriots safe trading and please be careful of fomo, do not lose your shirt. I am not an expert with such analysis and I do not know if my sources are accurate enough but I hope this sharing helps. Not planning on shorting Bitcoin.
Update 1: As pointed out by u/kairepaire, the current avg block time will be averaged out due to the fast mining before the halving event so the difficulty adjustment will not be that huge (single digit rather than double digit %). However for the consequent next difficulty adjustment, it will reflect the entire time interval period of after the halving which will have the correct slower avg block time. Therefore it is like a race. A race between price hike high enough to attract more miners to reduce avg block times versus the closing window of roughly 2 weeks before the next difficulty adjustment.

We know how overwhelming it can feel to be the victim of a ransomware attack and how your business cannot operate due encrypted or locked files. This page delivers insight on why your files were encrypted or locked, and the options you have to decrypt ransomware. As a ransomware recovery service provider, we have helped thousands of clients successfully recover their data and decrypt their data.
Evaluating all options will include analyzing the encrypted files, and the least desirable option to pay the ransom demand if necessary. Our process helps provide critical insight into decrypting ransomware and the available options that clients have.
By the end of this piece, it is our goal to show you what is involved to successfully recover your files. This guide outlines what steps and research are necessary to decrypt or unlock your files from a ransomware attack.
You arrive to work and start noticing suspicious alerts coming from your servers, and none of the databases are functional. Your co-workers are frantic and cannot access any of their data. You investigate further and find all of the files on your network are renamed and discover ransom notes, and a screen asking you to email someone if you want your data back. You finally realize that you are a victim of a ransomware attack, and all of your files are locked or encrypted.
Ransomware succeeds when businesses have poor security hygiene. Organizations that lack policies & procedures around data security will have a higher risk of ransomware attacks. Here are some of the most common ways to fall victim to a ransomware attack:
Businesses that have improperly configured network security may leave their Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports open. Unknowingly, this is the equivalent of leaving the front door unlocked when you leave your home: it provides an opportunity for cyber attacks to come through with little deterrence.
Once a hacker is connected to your network, they can install ransomware and additional back doors to access your network at a later date. A large percentage of ransomware attacks still use this method of attack because so many organizations are not even aware of this security vulnerability.
Ransomware can infiltrate your network by a malicious email campaign known as a phishing attack. Ransomware operators use massive networks of internet-connected devices (botnets) to send phishing emails to unsuspecting victims. These emails intend to trick the receiver into clicking on a malicious attachment or link, which can secretly install the ransomware virus or other malware.
Phishing emails are becoming increasingly difficult to detect as cybercriminals find clever ways to make a malicious email look legitimate. This underscores the importance of security awareness training for everyone in the organization, not just the I.T. department.
The ransomware operators may have used previously compromised passwords from employees at your organization to gain unauthorized access to the networks. This derives from the poor security practices of reusing the same passwords for multiple accounts and authentication processes.
If your employees have been using old & weak passwords to access your business data, a cyber criminal can use a previously compromised password to initiate the attack. Remember to always to follow good password hygiene.
The variety of attack vectors highlights the importance of a digital forensics investigation that can help victims understand how the ransomware came onto your computer and what steps you can take to remediate the vulnerability.
In this section, we cover the options to restore files encrypted or locked by ransomware.
If your files become encrypted in a ransomware attack, check to see if you have backups to restore and recover (in order).
Even though your files are encrypted by ransomware, you might be able to recreate the data from a variety of sources as outlined below:
The harsh truth is that the majority of ransomware encryption is unbreakable. This impossibility is a tough concept for many of us to accept, given the technological advances of our society.
Does this mean you should skip looking into whether the ransomware encryption can be broken? This option should always be explored if presented by a ransomware recovery firm, although the final choice is yours to make. We will lay out a real life example at Proven Data below to outline why this was a great decision for a company that was infected with ransomware.
While it tends to be rare, there are poorly constructed ransomware encryptions that have been broken by security researchers. If you can avoid paying a ransom, you should at all costs.
There can be flaws in the malware or weaknesses in the encryption. Businesses can look at these options, especially if time is on your side. There are also free ransomware decryption resources that provide tools for previously decrypted ransomware variants. A client of ours had hired a ransomware recovery company to recover their files until we discovered at the very last moment through our analysis that the encryption was breakable. With less than 20 minutes to spare, we saved the client out of paying a $450,000 ransom.
Ransomware is a cryptovirus, which means it uses cryptography in combination with malware to lock your files. Modern cryptography uses sophisticated mathematical equations (algorithms) and secret keys to encrypt and decrypt data. If strong encryption is used, it can take thousands, if not millions of years to break the encryption given the strength of today’s computers.
Encryption is a security tool created with the intent of data protection. It is a defensive tool to provide security, privacy, and authentication. Sadly, ransomware attackers are using it as a weapon against innocent victims.
You can start off with this free ransomware identification resource to determine the feasibility of decryption. You will need to upload the ransom note and a sample file into the ID-Ransomware website, and it will tell you if there is a free decrypter or if it is an unknown ransomware variant. Please note that the tool is not always 100% accurate. If the variant is still under analysis, you will need a malware or encryption analyst to determine whether or not there is a possibility for decryption.
Encryption is designed to be unbreakable, which is why security researchers can’t simply make a tool for ransomware decryption. These unbreakable encryptions protect our bank accounts, trade secrets, government data, and mobile communications, among other things. It would be a significant security concern if there were a master decryption tool that could break encryption algorithms.
If the encryption is too strong, the only way to obtain the decryption key for your files is to pay the ransom. Many ransomware victims don’t have time on their side because they are facing significant business disruption. Each minute that passes could be a lost client, or worse for a medical organization.
Here is a list of the most prevalent ransomware variants that are known to be “cryptographically secure,” which means that Proven Data or the security community has confirmed the encryption is unbreakable:
Businesses and individuals have the option of choosing not to pay the ransom in a ransomware attack to regain access to their files. For personal, political, or moral reasons, there has been resentment of the ransomware economy, and victims do not have to engage in extortion. If paying the ransom is the only option, you should know what to expect before considering moving forward.
If you do decide to use a ransomware recovery company and if there is one thing you get out of this article, it is this: You should always question how a ransomware recovery company is recovering your data. If you are unsure, asking the right questions will ensure a transparent experience:
A ransomware recovery specialist can analyze your current situation and determine what options are available to you at the time of the inquiry. A competent and experienced ransomware recovery company should be able to provide the following:
Understanding how your files were affected by ransomware in the first place will provide you with the insight needed to prevent another attack. Whether you choose Proven Data or another company to decrypt your ransomware files, it’s important to know what unknowns there may be out there.

These projects are positively interesting, personally! “It might be worth looking into them” lolol ether tokens with a usecase are fascinating if I do say so mySelf You check out supply and even release schedules if you want. . less interested in prices ..
FTM consider it being the first project to stake if you have yet to do that! I like that FTM can be acquired as an ERC-20 token, to be swapped at will for BEP-2 tokens or its value on its mainnet. That’s something that seems very undervalued about tokens as a complementary layer - record for choice. Anyway, their goal is consensus as a service, which is intriguing. Their mobile app wallet one stakes with is smooth.
TKN is neat as it is part of a card system that lets you spend gains from ether tokens. Its token is towards a reserve pool of the fee charged for spending other tokens. Their partnership with Visa seems legit yet that’s been flaunted before haha Their website is intense. Check that out.
VXV PubMed.gov, the U.S National Library of Medicine and the Department of Energy are listed on its homepage, as is Amazon — politics of which we can discuss in the comments? Right now they feature a Covid-19 matrix where one can test variables for correlation towards treatment! Their token is for smart baskets - “Detecting hidden relationships between equities, entities and global events based on sympathetic, symbiotic, parasitic or latent entanglement can result in unique opportunities connected to 'information arbitrage'.”
MET Well as any musician ought suggest, metronomes are useful, even if seemingly unforgiving! This token is for autonomy, co-founded by chief designer Jeff Garzik, one of the main contributors to the Bitcoin project, who I like for what does seem to be pragmatism regarding the BTC/BCH fork.

MITx This team seems to provide agnostic service for blockchains. Its token is not forced so if successful would be, more than any other, due to its community.
AXPR Roger Ver is an advisor for this one! The current token was swapped from AXP. aXpire products require this token and then a percentage of each transaction is burned, so the purpose of this token is natural deflation I guess
Runnersup
CXO Tokens suggest that redundancy can be aggressive. Using bill of ladings on a blockchain ensures transporters are paid quicker and more reliably. This freight project in particular is supported by real-world 3PL (third-party logistics) companies. Both led by individuals from The University of Ljubljana and historically invested in by Goldman Sachs.

The latest Bitcoin news has been sourced from the CoinSalad.com Bitcoin Price and News Events page. CoinSalad is a web service that provides real-time Bitcoin market info, charts, data and tools.
Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund, Gita Gopinath has written a piece reporting and predicting the disastrous consequences of the Coronavirus pandemic on the global economy. Hoping that the economies will be able to restart by the 3rd quarter of the year 2020, this year will see a global GDP growth rate of -3%. This is not only worse than the 2008 financial crisis, Gopinath writes; it is the worst recession since the great depression of 1930s. The cumulative losses to the global GDP over 2020 to 2021 is predicted to be equivalent to approximately 9 trillion dollars, which is greater than the economies of Japan and Germany combined.
How Can the Economy Bounce Back?
All these assumptions will hold true if the economic institutions are able to bounce back properly. The labour markets and human capital development may be stunted with the crisis in the health and the education sector. So, one of the most crucial factors of production might be in scarce supply even after the economy restarts, in most countries.
Investment is also likely to become a big problem as the investors are becoming increasingly risk averse in the wake of this crisis. This is particularly bad news for the developing economies, as they will be facing a lot of capital flight. This again will have negative consequences for the global economy. As a consequence there will be huge job losses, shutdowns and shrinking in the per-capita income.
Even the stock and commodities markets are in an exceptionally bad state. On May 13, both stock and oil prices have taken a hit, as there is an increasing fear of a second wave of Covid-19. Indices across the globe plummeted, especially after the statement by Anthony Fauci, the Head of Center for Disease Control, United States, signifying the possible negative consequences of an early lifting of the lockdown, therefore indicating the prolongation of the economic lockdown.
Can Digital Assets be the Answer to Global Financial Woes?
In the light of these instabilities in the global economic system, it is not surprising that people are looking for alternatives, and are in fact being compelled to do that. In fact, the World Economic Forum, which is the vanguard of the global economic order, has passed been considering how blockchain technology could be used to improve the global supply chains, to make them more resilient in the face of crises like these. Similarly, the COVID-19 crisis has led to a 72% increase in the use of fintech apps in Europe.
In late April, according to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin prices rose by 23% to 9500 dollars in less than a day. This is indicative of a greater interest in cryptocurrencies; and also of the fact that how cryptocurrencies can be much more resilient in the face of a crisis, given that they are not subjected to policy changes, and other forms of market manipulation and direct exogenous forces affecting fiat and equities alike. Therefore in a globalised world they will show the way.
Why Cryptocurrency Trading has Seen a Sharp Rise
The uncertainty surrounding the current global economic scenario has renewed interest of many traders in the crypto sector. Almost all digital assets trading platforms, or cryptocurrency exchanges, have reported a sharp rise not only in number of new registrations, but in trading volumes as well.
Even new traders, without any previous experience in trading either traditional assets, or digital assets, are also taking the plunge into crypto trading. While these are exciting times, there are also risks associated with volatility of digital assets. However, with some inside knowledge into how trading (in its different avatars) works, traders can be empowered to take informed decisions and protect their investments alongside making handsome profits.
Leading digital assets trading platform, Bithumb Global, has introduced many innovative options which make trading easy in these times. For example in a time of capital shortage, margin trading can be a great way to leverage the opportunities of crypto trading to make profits.
How Does Leverage Trading Work?
While we have explained through a step-by-step guide on how new traders can register on the Bithumb Global platform for margin trading activities, let us explain the process and its intricacies a bit better.
Bithumb Global margin trading adopts the full-position mode, and provides 5X leverage. At the same time, when the transaction is generated, the currency is automatically borrowed and returned, eliminating the steps of active borrowing and repayment.
Considering you have registered onto the platform, or are logged in to it and have also transferred assets in your margin trading account, the system will automatically allocate funds based on the available assets in your margin trading account and leverage multiples. The borrowable value is the largest loanable asset that the user can currently borrow from the platform and it depends on how much asset the user hold in the margin trading account.
For example, if the amount of assets in the margin trading account is 10,000 USDT (it will show on the page), the user can borrow a maximum of 38,000 USDT. Therefore, through margin trading, the maximum amount that the user can operate with is 10,000 + 38,000 = 48,000 USDT.
Assuming that the price of BTC is 7000 USDT and you are bullish it will reach 8000 USDT, you can borrow USDT from the platform to buy BTC.
Now, your USDT position is 10,000 USDT and your maximum loan limit is 38,000 USDT. When buying 5 BTC for a pending order, a loan will be generated immediately after the pending order is placed. The loan amount is: 5 * 7000–10,000 = 25,000 USDT.
In the order operation area, click the loan summary to view the asset balance, loan amount and interest payable in each currency.
When BTC rises from 7000 USDT to 8000 USDT, you sell 5 BTC at 8000 USDT and the profit is 5 * (8000–7000) = 5000 USDT.
You open the position (your target of 8000 USDT per BTC) and once target price is reached, you need to close the position. Our platform provides users with three modes of operation:
1) Quick liquidate
In the Quick liquidate mode, the system will automatically calculate the user’s openable quantity. The user only needs to enter the target price and click “sell” to realize the sale of the pending order with the number of openable positions, thus achieving the effect of one-key closing.
2) Close loan
In the close loan mode, the system will automatically calculate the amount of money and interest payable by the user. The user only needs to enter the target price and the system will automatically calculate the amount to buy or sell. You can realize the pending order for the corresponding amount of loan repayment.
3) Normal orders
After opening a position, in the normal order placing mode, click 100% of the amount to buy or sell to realize the reverse opening order.
Let us take the long BTC as an example to understand the three modes. User buys 5 BTC at 7000 USDT, and closes the position when BTC rises to 8000 USDT. The user will automatically close the position by quick liquidate mode. The system will automatically calculate the number of BTC that the user can close. The user has to click “sell” after the BTC price reaches 8000 USDT, to generate a pending order to sell 5 BTC at 8000 USDT in the current commission area.
In the close loan mode, the system will automatically calculate the 25,000 USDT and interest payable that the user needs to repay the loan. When user enters 8000 USDT and click on “Sell BTC” to close the loan, he can generate 8000 USDT in the current commission area for sale.
In the normal order placing mode, the user enters 8000 USDT and clicks 100% to sell BTC. A pending order with a quantity of more than 5 BTC will be produced. After the pending order is completed, the position will be converted from long BTC to short BTC.
In summary, it is recommended that users complete the liquidation operation through quick liquidate when repaying the transaction. In addition, closing a position can also be done by transferring assets. The user transfers the loan amount from spot trading account to margin trading account, and the system will realize automatic repayment.
Conclusion
You have used money from the platform as a loan, bought assets, opened a position and made a handsome profit when the target was achieved. After paying back the loan as well as the interest on the money that you used, the remainder is your net profit.
Margin trading also protects your downside. Your investments are protected when the price of an asset goes down. There are stops placed at the lower end to help you minimize your losses. So it is imperative that you try out margin trading with a small amount to understand the nitty-gritties and feel confident about it.
All in all, margin trading has helped thousands of traders on Bithumb Global to leverage the current bullish sentiments in the cryptocurrency markets to make profits and hedge their risks in digital assets. Will you be the next successful trader?
