Speaking of silence, I saw that movie-going has dropped to a 22 year low, and hundreds of theaters are closing. Thank GOD this crisis happened now , when Hollywood has basically given up on making good movies, and all we're missing is X-Men 14 and woke James Bond. Can you imagine if this happened w...

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 Ever heard of online trades?

^this. I could be a nice guy and close my office for 2 weeks while paying the staff not to work while there is zero revenue being generated. But if this drags on for 2 months? The county still expects full payment of real estate taxes. Rent still due. If no money is coming in, unless the government...

And yet, things are peaceful here so far. Nice weather. Quiet. Air is cleaner than usual. Last night when I was in my garage, I stopped for a moment and noticed that it was completely silent outside. I live several blocks from a freeway, so usually there's soft white noise in the distance coming fr...

A good chunk of my cash at Vanguard is in the Federal MMF as my settlement fund, and now I'm wondering if I should move it to the Treasury MMF. Here are the current holdings of the Federal MMF (VMFXX). Looks like only 32.3% is in Treasuries and 18.7% is in the ailing repo market: Bankers Acceptance...

That's it. 0011 a.k.a. VUSXX I had recently abandoned it (leaving a small piece in) to buy my own T-Bills but right now I'll just take the convenience.

The last time I saw a live comedian perform was around 1987.

I left that company the month before the 1987 one day market crash as ...

Schools are shut down where I live, as in most other places. Today, driving by the basketball courts, I happened to look to my right and see roughly 200 kids playing basketball. Many will then go home, where their grandparents are watching them while their parents are at work. Seems like a good mov...

My employer has closed all stores for 2 weeks officially starting today. All non-essential people at head office are to be working from home too. Basically just a skeleton crew.

I hope to be a father one day. I want to be married by the time I'm 40 -- currently 31. And I want to have children shortly after. If that's your plan, and if you want your children to share your DNA, then I hope you plan to marry a woman at least several years younger than yourself :) Seriously......

I think we need to bear in mind that the official numbers of persons infected are probably only a half step removed from pure fantasy The US might as well be a third world country with the numbers tested as a percentage of the population. The ugly truth is we haven't a clue how many are infected ex...

Who knows, really.

That would be less than what has been generated by that one "Biogen" conference in Massachusetts!

Calm down guys. There are preparations being made here that did not occur in Italy, and they are happening at the local, state, and federal level. Hospitals in NYC (including mine) have already done things like cancel elective admissions, stock/conserve critical supplies, and add ICU beds, NYU Tisc...
