Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy discusses taking over day trading and setting up the Wall Street establishment with his Bullish trading stance.
Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy told followers Wednesday that he was “possibly” infected with the coronavirus, but he announced a day later that he had contracted his disease.
In an update on his Twitter feed, the 43-year-old Portnoy assured his fans that he was no longer ‘sick as a mother’ after being threatened for 40 hours.

“It did a small number on me for a day or two,” he said on his daily ‘Davey Day Trader Global’ video.
Portnoy did not indicate whether he had received a COVID-19 test or further elaborated on each diagnosis.
“Do you know what I did last night?” He asked. “I said ‘Scarpetta, give me 14 spaghetti.’

Portnoy mentioned creamy amounts of spaghetti, Madison Avenue in the Italian restaurant, performance drinks Gatorade and Kit Kat as his cure, but he pointed out that he was in dire need of watermelons.
In his earlier videos, Portnoy did not appear well and had his head scratched by a pillow. He told viewers that in the previous days he had only eaten “one apple”.
His announcement sent shares of Penn National Gaming – which earlier this year acquired 36% of Barstool for $ 163 million – on a roller-coaster ride. It dipped 1.2% and then rebound.
‘I think Penn National looked like, dipped,’ he said, ‘after I made this video of my face look like f —– g Dr. Death. Yes, I look like dirt and can not get out of bed. I get it, corona is probably sitting in my nostrils. “

The podcaster has taken day trading since the pandemic led to the cancellation or postponement of spring sporting events.
Last month, Portnoy was invited to the White House and conducted a sit-down interview with President Trump, in which he acknowledged that registration specialist for infectious diseases Drs. Anthony Fauci created his ‘stock tank’ when he encouraged coronavirus-related lockdowns.
Portnoy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
