Misconception being pushed but it hasn't worked in Sweden, in fact a dismal failure IMHO.
Sweden population ~10 million with ~5000+ deaths
Finland/Norway population together ~10 million with ~600 deaths
These countries are right next to each oth…
Matter of perspective... in the late 70's I was busting my hump making money, raising a young family, buying a house. I knew interest rates were high (my mortgage was 14+%) but other than that I was too busy to really pay attention to what was goin…
re: gerrymandering and voter suppression. I see it as the last gasp effort to remain in power... they see the future... packing the courts is their last stand which unfortunately will last a while.
Yup, in NC people want them to move more slowly in reopening and even though hospitalizations are going up the GOP senate/house is pushing to open gyms and bars faster Can't fix stupid. -- ADD: Looking at it from another angle I don't think it m…
Inflation.... gas from $3-$4/gallon to under $2/gallon takes away a lot of inflation. I have "heard" inflation more in the last couple months from various sources. i.e. some cnbc folks I listen too. Time for TIPS? Cape Code on M* always said the ti…
Sell Monday!! .... I'm back in to my target AA -- you've been warned. ;^) I have a plan and didn't follow it this time because I thought this was much different... shame on me. It cost me mucho dinero. They are throwing soooo much money at t…
re: original post re: chainsaw Do we think tariffs are magically going to be swallowed by the corporations? Nope..... they' are working their way to the consumer.
Hey, they got $1200!!!! So sad..... as I've said many times... they sell it as class warfare... they sell it as those lousy lazy liberals are trying to transfer wealth from the rich to the poor. They're trying to take our hard earned money …
@LewisBraham True... I always thought China might be the next one to start a war since they have such an over abundance of young men and no women due to the "one baby law" way back when. I guess all that testosterone is being funneled into building…
Re: these riots..., who are they is the question... bad protesters?, Black Boc?, Antifa?, White supremacist?, Russia?, China?, militias?, people who want to start race wars?, others? Some are joining in and using the riots as screening to create cha…
I've been thinking that for years... too greedy and you'll tip the cart, don't push it...we're getting close. Do you really need that 3rd yacht and 5th multi-million dollar house? Be careful or you'll watch them burn to the ground.
It seems to be changing from valuation to more and more supply/demand to me. Who cares what the company makes or doesn't make anymore if people will still buy the stock.
You can get a good idea with "expected deaths" reports as they are pretty steady year to year. There are several articles about expected deaths and Covid19 deaths and almost all have higher number of deaths compared to Covid19 deaths. Where did t…
Is it really about earnings anymore? So much money chasing stocks it doesn't matter what happens they are bid up. I mean 14% unemployment and not even a shrug. Strange times indeed. ADD: Looks like stock market inflation to me... too much money cha…
I saw one video talking about the speed of this downdraft and bounce back was so fast he may not have had time to make some deals... many variables. Also in the video they said ..hey, he's 89 years old!!
Actually it's being under reported worldwide IMHO -- look at this link and look at "expected deaths" and covid19 reported deaths. Interesting. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/16/tracking-covid-19-excess-deaths-across-countries?fs…
Howdy folks,
I said it months ago and it's worth repeating, 'Trump and eat shit and die and everyone who supports him can eat shit and die.'
Do I make myself perfectly clear?
and so it goes,
peace and flatten the curve,

rono,,,,, Please st…
I thought I read Pence and Trump called the GA gov and said go for it...then about 2-3 hrs later I read he's against it. CYA That's the problem with this admin... no idea if anything they say is true which is exactly like I think he wants it.
Great piece about Trump/Fox -- you are what you eat, a product of your environment etc... etc..
(just watch video or read article)

Wow that's rich.... Trump supporters thinking Hillary using deplorable is offensive. Do they listen to what Trump says almost everyday?
add: here is a link some think is the best description of Trump:

oh... I didn't realize that there are no more recharacterizations. I've never done a recharacterization so don't pay much attention to that space.. Thanks for the update.
The reason to start a new roth from what I've read is suppose the market tanks and you want to re-characterize. It's easier to do with a new roth aka earning etc... I'm not 100% sure but remember something along those lines. If you want more deta…
We've all seen pics/videos of nurse/drs begging people to stay home. You know what's sad..... if this was soldiers on the front lines begging people to stay home there would be no questions...support the troops!! But yet people cram open stores on …
One article I read said even after the June drop in cases...95% of Americans will still be vulnerable. So.... until there is a vaccine it's going to be "social distancing".
