i agree with you on many points. When the house is on Fire even the furniture get burned. Listen to this last night. Central banks have not fixed the problems from 2008 https://www.macrovoices.com/podcasts-collection/macrovoices-all-stars-podcasts/810-all-stars-97-jeff-snider-the-qe-market-meltdown...

@WiseOne https://kfor.com/health/coronavirus/drug-used-to-originally-fight-malaria-showing-promise-in-treating-coronavirus-oklahoma-medical-research-foundation-says/ I think S Korea was trying Chliriquine also. I also heard Chloroquine is available in The U.S. only in small quantities. So does Chin...

early am trading shows both gold and TLT taking it on the chin again . lets see later ... i may be back in again ... tlt shows down almost 2% and gld down 2.30% that all can change over the day ... i think anyone who thought the pp was a low volatility portfolio may be thinking otherwise ... it may...

That's something of an exaggeration. It's better than the traditional methods of stirring up animal spirits. I see where you're going with this, and no, I haven't tried homebrewing since my botched rhubarb-wine attempt. I used to make wine with my dad when I was a kid. I was responsible for the gra...

parents can't or won't feed their kids then frankly the kids need to go into foster care. I'm always curious about this. I'm not qualified to comment on it, but whenever I hear statements about how the kids are depending on these lunches, dark thoughts run through my head that maybe their mom and d...

OK I had a WTF... moment. Over the past several weeks the Fed has lower the interest rate to ZERO. They have just Screwed savers in CD's/t-Bills /interest bearing accounts. Then They created 700 Billion and counting out of thin air and put it on the Feds balance sheet. It you created Billion with a ...

This is a fuzzy request, but can people on the forum with a longer tail of experience than me share their thoughts on this: How does this period feel compared to 2008/2009? Yes, I can see the stock market numbers, I can see some old forum posts, but it's not the same as being there. In 2008/2009 I ...

I just called Vanguard three times in a row and EACH time got a busy signal! Why was I not put in some form of phone line, waiting for someone to take my call? Vinny Maybe they Just left the phone off the Hook. If they throw more Liquidity at the Market and stocks Drop further, they may just Close ...

I've been in Mexico all week. Just getting back. It's as if nothing had changed down there. Business as usual. Will staying home for 3 days, or 14 for that matter, make any difference after going thru the airport? Is everyone just planning to stay home for the next 2 weeks, or only those over 70? T...

And that worked for about 1.5 hours....

All I've ever read is when people lose confidence in the Fed, everyone will run to gold. Hope that happens.

I always thought that it was when they lose confidence in their Government, when gold took off.

The Fed will inject even more stimulus and cut rates to keep the stock market up. But the savers who are living off of interest are going to take it between the eyes. Then how long will it take before the stimulus to be taken back off of the Feds balance sheet? Monetizing worked so well for the Fed...

I've been seeing that people can be contagious with Wuhan Coronavirus up to 5 days before symptoms appear and for up to 37 (!) days after, long after the person feels perfectly well again. Pretty horrifying. That is why the majority of the population will be exposed to the Wuhan virus here in the U...

My lovely bride just got back home from an East Texas target store.
The shelves of Antibacterial Soap and T.P. are bare, along with Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide.
Good Luck with the Supply Chain where you live.

EDIT: The Fed is now saying that they're going to do whatever it takes in terms of monetary policy to prevent a market and economic crash. However, unlike 2008/2009, this is a problem being imposed on us by nature. It's not just a crisis of confidence in our banking sector that can be quelled away ...

Ok I have a question? What is the Big deal with Corona testing? If I am sick, do I care if I have Corona or that I have the Flu? Not really. I feel like crap. If I test positive for Corona then I am told I should be Quaranteened, when I should just assume I have a transmittable disease and stay home...

Does anyone go to a public gym? What is attendance like - the same, with people being better about wiping things down? Or more sparse? We have been going to a public gym and it has been about the same as before as far as attendance. However, we're cocooning now until we see what is going on. Both o...

I know there are Trump supporters on this forum, please tell me how how the democrat hoax statement plays to you. I sat with my 80+ year old parents yesterday, with Fox in the background. And they believe this. They believe the democrats are responsible. They believe if the borders were secure we w...

Getting a return by selling requires a buyer. Agreed? That means that investors are passing around money and shares, but the sum total of all investors have not achieved more dollars until a dividend is paid. (Boglerdude might be right about buybacks, but I think that's a sneaky dividend.) How is i...

There is one public company. You are its sole owner. When it was started it had $1,000 in cash, $4,000 in real estate (unimproved land) and no liabilities. You paid the net book value for the company - $5,000. Five years later, you are still the sole owner, the company still has that $1,000 of cash...

In the U.S. debt-based money system, can we all agree that Money is Loaned in existence? yes/no

Decades and decades ago when Ben Graham shut down his investment partnership (what today would be called a hedge fund), he simply advised people to "buy AT&T" in place of investing in his fund. The fact that they're still around and doing as well as they are... one hell of a call on G...
