Monday - Markets react to Moderna's effective vaccine news

Dow Jones is surging today with the news on  Moderna vaccine being 94.5% effective. Dr. Fauci said a vaccine could be ready by end of Dec for high-risk categories. Joe Biden's advisors say they oppose a national lockdown and prefer a targeted measure.  Cruse, airlines and oil industries surged further with the new vaccine news.  Home Depot got into agreement to acquire HD Supply for $8 billion in cash.  AMC is on a verge of bankruptcy with theaters being massively hit by the pandemic and the era of theater-movie-watching evolving to Netflix and like. They reported $1 billion loss in the third quarter and started to offer another 20million shares in hope of extending the survival. Shopify has strengthened its grounds once more by launching Fulfillment Network; an interesting rival to same day delivery system of Amazon.  Let me know what you think. Keep smiling and stay charitable.
