Unbelievable.

My cousin died of it last month. I honestly think it was merciful in his case.

Watching Tlt again...it has fallen thousands since I last sold ....

Felt well enough to sell Gld for a few k profit ...I am still far to negative on buying Tlt yet ,even though it has fallen thousands from the last sale I made it has been scary ...

Well gold down 2k since I sold this morning so I may buy back ...Tlt still plunging but I get the feeling it may suddenly flip direction and I may miss the entry

MJ,

Got a price point in mind for TLT?

Did it ... rebought Gld and tlt

MJ,

Like TLT, have you sold *all* your gold and are strictly day-trading both TLT/GLD?

As I can take advantage. Gains evaporate way to quickly if I dont

MJ,

More TLT carnage - u back in?

No sold both Gld and tlt 2x yesterday at gains ...out now

Are you home and getting healthy, MJ, or are you making money from your hospital bed???

Hospital bed .......both of us still hospitalized....day 11 in the hospital for me ..day 21 since first symptoms

Is your condition improving?

Yes ... I am waiting for them to put me on their home care program they have

Phew ,gold and tlt still falling ...luckily profits were taken and I am out ...it is like I am actually having reservations about buying both right now ....crazy sell off in bonds and gold

U stayin on the sidelines w/ GLD?

Thought u'd be all over it.

I may avoid gold and tlt right now ....my core portfolio is doing just fine ... I hate pulling things down by trying to catch these falling knives

Damn gold is looking attractive

With communism just around the corner starting on 1/20, I believe that cash may be king for a while.

Ultimately every party needs to do what is right for us or their political careers will be decimated

This is your last update to us. What is the current update?

Thanks

Both home ...barely touching oxygen, up and around and on the mend .....we are mobile now through out the day getting up and doing whatever we have to ......tomorrow I will attempt one flight of stairs in our building ...at rest I feel great ....up and doing things I feel fine but breathing is not near normal yet at all . But every day is gaining back more and more capacity.

Thanks for asking

I was about to inquire about your health as well but, alas, Vinny is quicker than I (a result of playing with taller basketball players?).

Good to hear that you and your wife are making progress, mathjak. It must feel good to be home!

Just reading about all you went through had definitely affected me....making me far more cautious than I had been...

This virus hits everyone differently as it multiplies and tests our defenses ...it can be very good at what it does in many of us ....

It has such crazy outcomes from death to no symptoms to permanent damage in those who who survive ..it loves to attack lung tissue and either cause issues itself or forces your own immune system most of the time to cause collateral damage that is the hardest and longest to recover from .

Our damage we are undoing is the damage our own immune system did as the fight left airways inflamed and mucus covered.

I feel very good now , I don’t know if my wife is ready but today I will take the elevator to the basement and try the stairs , at least to the first floor walking but .

I am fully mobile now all over the apartment and out of bed and off oxygen...amen
