Do you think poor and old can afford the treatment unless someone else is paying for insurance - company, govt, medicare, medicaid etc. They are doomed. We can't save them/everyone, death is natural phenomena. If NY people are afraid to OPEN, they …
Less than 100 Thousand people dead out of 340 MILLION. I don't how DT got sucked into it. Now we are rescuing the economy spending TRILLIONS of BORROWED money.
HSA doesn't convert to IRA after retirement. You can save all receipts and withdraw money from HSA account whenever you want. My employer HSA is with Fidelity and they allows us to invest anyway I want so I let the investment ride. No tax payment on…

How passing a new alphabet going to help the mainstay of this job market - service workers making minimum wage (even if it is $15) and trying to survive? They don't get even 40 hours a week …
We will have control of congress along with DT. Things will change in a dime. Remember last Income Tax legislation? We will see negative rates, I am piling into bond funds. Last 2 times we had Democratic President, was because of recession and Great…
Laws are not going to be changed, better use of the fund for wall building.
My neighborhood elementary school is also building a wall around it's perimeter first time since 30 years of existent.
To feel safe, we need to make wall everywhere.
US Govt should also take stake in Insulin producing companies. They are blackmailing the population into higher prices - production manipulation compared to demand and there are few more companies like that. Why not buy QQQ because this will give ac…

Sorry, it's not a rumor - Larry Kudlow told on Friday - We're getting close. The market is manipulated by DT officials - one day trade war on track and the other day it is not.
I am building positions in VWIAX-Wellesly, VMNVX-VangGlobLowVol & BAFWX-BrownAdvSusGrowth. I am 15 months away from retirement at the age of 65, slowly selling high SD funds.
Yes, I see opportunities to invest. I sold few growth funds last month and cash needs home.
The impeachment drama will fade away.
Ukraine President will forget what was said & Supreme court can rule that President can't be investigated.

Friday's sell off is telling Trump, Trump needs trade deal more than China. Idea for Tweet ETF - Sell when 'trade is going well' - today & buy when China is misbehaving - Friday.
