My wife is of Chinese descent. I am interested to know if Trump calling it the Chinese Virus is offensive to you. If it started in Italy, or Canada, do you think he'd be calling it the Italian Virus or the Canadian Virus? *Yes, I know there's the Spanish Flu, but that was 100 years ago.* Italy has ...

Hey guys, What tools are you guys aware of that can allow one to track PP performance on a daily basis? This as opposed to annual and monthly data sets. Things are moving just too fast for monthly data right now. Yes, I can just look at my brokerage account data, but I also want to play with varying...

Interesting story. Thanks for opening up.

It is funny how much one is willing to open up when they are pseudonymous.

Smith, you're the one of the last people I'd guess had depression, even in the past. I guess one never knows. The truth is that I've had rather poor mental health for most of my adult life. It started when I was 19 years old (now 31) when my college sweetheart broke up with me. From then on a kind ...

There's a KILLER donair place down the street from my home. We should all meet there when this is over... Avengers style.

I am so glad I'm stocked up on vitamin D supplements.

Browne said that instead of Treasury Bills, keeping cash deposited in 3 FDIC insured banks was an acceptable alternative.

We still see to this day that Browne was ahead of his time.

I am getting the same impression overall as well. If we are correct in surmising there has been an increase, I suppose I'd attribute it to:

1) an increase in interest in the PP due to the recent market crash;
2) posters who don't have work to go to (like me) have some more spare time.

Hey, guys, look. It's almost as if having 25% of your portfolio in cash is a good idea.

No matter how you slice it, we are living through some serious history right now, guys.

These bars are in high demand and I figure they will also be very easy to resell. Plus they are super cool.

Arnold S was a Republican, correct! Were you there when he was governor? If so, what was your evaluation of him? He had two terms? Love him as an actor. Just saw a great one of him the other night that was in total contrast to all his other roles. He'd lost his wife and daughter in a plane crash in...

Somebody on my wife's Facebook earlier was saying what a reversal it was from her teenage years, that now she's yelling at her parents for going out instead of the other way around. last time I had a cold my dad kept pushing me to see the doctor, implying that not doing so was irreponsible. I ended...

That kind of thing is easy to say, but I think you're ignoring the cost of overreacting. It's the people with kids who suddenly have no job that I most worry about. The whatever-huge-percent it is that can't weather a $400 unexpected cost. Yes, maybe they "should" be better about managing...

Interesting. Pretty confident it did shut down. I find it curious it's not on the list.

How old is your father? And, has your opinion changed at all based upon his and that editorial?

Vinny

He's close to 70.

My overall opinion is that I'd rather we all overreact than underreact.

That's what my mom and I were trying to convince him of, but he wouldn't listen.

Typical "I'm the head of the household and I know better than you, son." kind of attitude.

My mom was SO mad at him when he left.

Last time I went through airports in early Feb, I got sick four days later. And I'm generally pretty good about washing my hands and not touching my face. Airports are straight up germ factories.

If they just held the PP they wouldn't have to waste all that time and energy.

Get a dip belt and hang stuff on it for added resistance. I have had the Ironmind one for years now. You can also get their hip belt for belt squats (and also for everything the dip belt can do). I've never tried it but I have had it in mind since I hurt my back a while ago. It might be a good idea...
