What's the update on your health, MJ? Hope you are making progress!

Barrett

Same here. I was just thinking this morning that we had not heard an update from you for far too long and was again going to ask here if barrett had not already.

[mathjak107]

Doing a bit better ..still in bed on oxygen....they may try standing me up today ...my wife is a few rooms down ...she has a bit of pneumonia....

This virus was like a freight train ...the virus is dead at this stage 18 days in but the bodies immune system has everything inflamed in the airways and covered in mucus .

Been eating like crazy ..with the steroids my blood sugar goes nuts so I get insulin for now

[barrett]

Thanks for the update, MJ. I hope that both you and your wife are back home and healthy soon. Of course, if forum members don't check to see what your day trading adventures are, they don't even know that you've been sick.

We'll do our best to keep the price of all assets down so that you can buy a big friggin' dip when you get out!

Your experience is going to make me a bit more careful when it comes to COVID. What you two are going through does not sound like fun at all.

MJ is the closest to me knowing someone with COVID.
Unbelievable.

[mathjak107]

So many here had COVID or died it is hard not to know someone who was effected

[vnatale]

MJ is the closest to me knowing someone with COVID.
Unbelievable.

Closest to me also who has had any degree of symptoms. A people (young) told me that they had it but did not seem to develop any symptoms.

MJ is the closest to me knowing someone with COVID.
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 ....

[mathjak107]

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 ...

[mathjak107]

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

[amdda01]

MJ,

Got a price point in mind for TLT?

[mathjak107]

Did it ... rebought Gld and tlt

MJ,

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

[mathjak107]

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

[amdda01]

MJ,

More TLT carnage - u back in?

[mathjak107]

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

[barrett]

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???

[mathjak107]

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

[amdda01]

Is your condition improving?

[mathjak107]

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

[mathjak107]

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

[amdda01]

U stayin on the sidelines w/ GLD?

Thought u'd be all over it.

[mathjak107]

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
