On Friday, a hole opened up in the fuselage of a brand new Alaska Air Boeing 737 Max.
Video of the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max making an emergency landing in Portland after part of the aircraft blew out.
The plane had just taken off and had reached 16,000 feet before returning to the airport.
The aircraft was new, having just been delivered in October. pic.twitter.com/FUNKlyDli9

I have bought June $39 puts on DraftKings (DKNG) the sports fantasy betting side (with a p/e of N/A, since they have never earned a penny). The head and shoulders top may or may not still be relevant (pink), but, interestingly, prices have soared all the way up to precisely the neckline before weakening.
I have never been inside any “dollar store” of any kind (Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar) but I’m intrigued by the sector. Below is a beautiful right triangle topping pattern on Dollar Tree (DLTR), which compelled me to buy May 17th $130 puts on the sucker.
Good symmetric triangle patterns are rare, but the oddly named corporation Freeport McMoRan (yes, that’s how it’s supposed to be typed) symbol FCX had a beauty. Take note of how the resistance trendline (red) and supporting trendline (green) converged almost exactly at the same place as the dashed line, which represents the peak of its recent bounce. That’s the day I bought puts.
