To invest well, you need to look to the future. That is impossible to get right anywhere near 100 % of time. But if you get enough right, you can do alright. I'd say the jury is still out with Carnival, but so far, so good.

dude, the economy was going to tank because of this regardless. you seem to be a fairly smart guy, so i know you know that. closing doors, shuttering businesses, stopping travel, cancelling events, etc is happening everywhere in the world due to a pandemic. there is literally no way to stop the economy from tanking in these circumstances

Arguing with tPutinSchmear is like jamming a stick in your eye twice. It smarts but not very smart.

Talked to a guy I know who ives in Manhattan and works in a hospital there. Typically a "we can handle anything" type dude. He is afraid, and what he describes is worse than anything I've read. I'm going to wait a while before I buy back into the market.

Sure, but there is and was a way to prevent it from being so abrupt and or extreme, with solid leadership, reaction time, preparedness, transparency, and confidence. Trump has offered none of these besides false and unrealistic confidence at returning to normal in a few weeks. The GOP is also requesting people sacrifice their lives for the economy. It's like pouring more fuel into a fire and expecting that you will put the fire out sooner.

I don't doubt that. Prog run states are going to be like that. I feel for them. But they need to change their voting habits. But to your point, it may be a little early to get in. I wouldn't go in big at this point because I think we have more pain coming. But I'll buy on a case by case basis.

Who's running Louisiana? Pretty bad down there on the bayou.

If it's bad, a prog runs it. So, yes, they have a prog governor and New Orleans has a prog mayor. Poor devil's. They had no chance.

Well it's probably because of Mardi Gras happening when the idiot in chief was still calling it a hoax.

Oh that's right, they did toss out that slimy pug Jindl. I was thinking of that other pug turd pile Kennedy; but he's just their Senator.

Well, Mardi Gras did them in after all.

Wow, you actually answered! Normally, you would have run off by now.

Your instant defense of the bailout shouted your approval loud and clear. I'll ask again, you attacked Obama relentlessly over spending, yet you have said nothing about Trump doing the same, but on a much larger scale...why?


-------------------------
I was right.

Because I haven't been able to look at it carefully yet. I study things and then form opinions. Though that is not the prog way, it is mine. You'll just have to wait.

I've studied the bill. It sucks, especially for small businesses. Luckily it keeps Trump family from getting benefits.

What's to see? $6 trillion to keep a bubble inflated is as obvious as it gets.

What was your opinion on the bailing our of GM and Chrysler?


-------------------------
I was right.

Obama!

And they paid the money back (Auto Industry).

Genius...and a real LEADER.

So much for that big jump....

It's a democratic hoax

Stocks go up and they go down. Been the case since the start and will do that to the end. I've taken a hit, But I've taken advantage of the situation and bought low. We'll see how that works out in a few years. What it does in the next six months is irrelevant to me, unless we get a sharp drop (which I am expecting) in which case I'll be buying.
