It really would have been nice if they found a lead person that wasn't so easily dismissed. https://www.thedailybeast.com/stella-immanuel-trumps-new-covid-doctor-believes-in-alien-dna-demon-sperm-and-hydroxychloroquine ....Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bi...

But again, if I were still holding IAU or PHYS, I'm sure I'd be hitting those rebalancing bands. Are you sure? Everything has been going up, so I am way far away from any rebalance bands for bonds, stocks and gold, except for silver. Here's my allocations vs. limits https://i.imgur.com/osOEe5c.jpeg

Wow, their website is gone as well. Now I truly need to question what's going on. https://i.imgur.com/zmTdUlT.jpeg Of course, there is this too,(https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/americas-frontline-doctors/) and I suppose one thing I'd have to agree with is they have no leadership that is an infectious...

Silver is close to hitting the 140% band for me. Gold is not close. I will rebalance if silver hits. Not early.

I skipped around the video. I don't disagree with any of the bits I heard, but again, dammit, this is crazy that the virus is so politically charged. That a group of doctors with embroidered lab coats and such need to come out and talk about everything that isn't talked about. Aargh. I'm glad Trump ...

To me, there are two major outcomes to be considered: 1) Coronavirus - outcomes to be avoided are hospitalization and death. The group at high risk for this are a very small segment of the population. The working population has a very LOW risk of such outcomes. 2) Trashed economy - negative outcome...

It would seem the majority of people who believe in gold being a significant part of their portfolio are definitely fiscal conservatives. I am one for sure. It seems many people who find gold attractive are also politically conservative, or am I going too far there? And I feel like on this forum I a...

+1 Let me know if you find a better investing forum Doodle. I am certainly not a liberal democrat by any means, but I have to admit that I agree 100% with everything you said. The best contributors have pretty much all left over the past decade. The really good contributors barely ever post anymore...

Very little unless it is some unexpected event like a stroke. But I assume they both have access to the best care available and any risks are well known.

So then what are the options? If 95% wore masks, and rates did not decrease, the powers that be are caught in a bad spot, no? What do they do if that happened? You guys aren’t washing hands enough? What is the next reason that would be used? If anything, regardless of whether masks even make it wors...

It's so strangely enticing, and depressing to focus on the negative. But here's my reality: --Band camp has started for my younger daughter. --School will be in person as an option, which she will be doing. --Notre Dame will be in person starting Aug 10. --I can go into any store or restaurant and g...

Since most anti-maskers are typically worried about government control, worried about the nanny and surveillance state, I thought of a good reason to wear a mask. ---I assume there's no current facial recognition system that can deal with mask wearing. Wear a mask and at least you can't be tracked b...

Agreed. We are not far off from each other.

Corto, Following up on the "Kung Flu" debate, I'm wondering (sincerely) about the position of you and your family on the Trader Joe's ethnic branding. For example, a frozen lasagna comes under the name "Trader Giotto's", and some Chinese stir fry is sold under the name "Tra...

No definitely not. Both sides are perfectly willing to take away freedoms they don't agree with.

Nailed it.

Maddy, I don't disagree with any of that. My only response is what could we have done differently? If there's one president who could have had the balls to do something like Sweden, it would have been Trump, right? And he didn't. Any democrat would have rolled over to the "science." So we ...

Is it really that far gone, people? Don't you think in the next 6-12 months a vaccine and theraputics will improve/be available and things will get reasonably back to normal? How do people out of work not producing and not buying things help the "elites?" depressing the economy to win an ...

Am I being spied on while I surf the internet and walk around? Sure. And tell me how that affects my freedoms. I can always pull the plug. And my life is pretty boring. I think for me the difference is that I do not trust the government to stop where you apparently think they will. Right now perhap...

I cannot imagine the uproar that would happen if seatbelt laws were being put in place now , vs. 30 years ago, with the internet and social media and so much conspiracy hyped on everything. It would be the goddamned end of the world, taking away my freedoms and all. Those elites ain't gonna tell me ...

This forum has been overrun by right wing group think. 8-10 years ago this was an incredible forum with an amazing diversity of outlooks, opinions, and intelligent discussion. I learned a lot from participating in discussions here over the years and had my mind changed and perspectives broadened on...

What Trump supporters are missing, maybe, is there is an increase in people like me (moderate/left leaning) that supported Trump because we didn't want Hilary, but are much more ok with Biden this time around. A good portion of this is not logical. I am smart enough to realize that about myself. You...

WiseOne, I'll take that. maddy, that's your right as well. I guess you won't be doing much shopping at all the big box stores that now require masks? I'm exempt, and not afraid to press the issue. Mark, good hypothesis about Trump using reverse psychology. Up to now, his turnabout on masks had me r...

And $21??!!



I am positive on my physical silver cost for the first time in I think 9 years.

This continues to be surreal. Covid out there, but the PP and markets just seem to make daily highs. My pp is up 12.2% for the year (was -10.75% on March 19)
