  1. An experienced real estate agent makes a big difference. Part time hobby agents not so much.
  2. The guy got on the gas heading into a nice "S" curve. I thought he was going to accelerate through it. He checked up at the last second. So I passed on the inside. Kind of a dick pass, but I had room.
  3. Passed a CBR in corner. Kind of a dick pass, felt good though.
  4. Thanks for sharing numbers Nivin. I place more stake in data than headlines 👍

    I like the retro BMW paint. That exhaust is gawd awful. As stupid as forward controls are, the cruiser crowd likes them...that will prevent any sales success. These will be deeply discounted in 2 or 3 years.
  7. I had the same symptoms for 3-4 weeks around Christmas...except no digestive stuff, but I did have a fever for 3-4 days. It wasn't awful, just annoying and wouldn't go away. It was diagnosed as an upper respiratory infection at the time, and I was told it would clear eventually. Looking back, I don't think it was COVID. My gf (who would be considered high risk) had similar symptoms a few weeks later, but the kids never had symptoms. Hard to know for sure without tests.
  8. We have 3 little kids in the house that are now eating every meal at home. I have been buying 4-5 gallons at a time, which last about 7-8 days. That is what determines how long we can go between trips to the store. You can freeze milk, but I haven't been doing that. I may give it a try.
  9. Casinos, cruise lines, airlines, oil companies were especially hard hit. I took a position in Marathon oil (MRO) at a deep discount. Oil is at an 18 year low. I anticipate some upside when people are driving again and we get through the over supply we currently have
  10. I am riding it out. My overall strategy accounts for a bear market. I did buy a couple on the dip that have a big upside.
  11. Riding it out? Sell and sit out? Buy on the dip?
  12. China has gone to much trouble to appear like a Capitalist country. Make no mistake they are still Communists they just pretend to be Capitalist to benefit from international trade $$ They are still information-suppressing, people-living-in-fear, boot-on-the-throat Communists.
  13. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/wuhan-covid-19-deaths-may-be-in-tens-of-thousands-data-on-cremations-show/ar-BB11T0Vb Thoughts? I've been seeing more and more media outlets speculating that China's COVID numbers are significantly higher than reported.
  14. Haven't been to stores. Is there an ammo shortage again?

    I have MS

    Sorry to hear that. That's a very quick diagnosis of MS. Sometimes it can take years to identify and diagnose. So many auto immune diseases, lupus, ms, mg, etc all have very similar symptoms. I've been going through it with my GF for years. Probably doesn't seem like it....but if you do have MS it's better to know sooner than later and get moving on a treatment plan. Having MS 20 years ago was much different than today. Treatment, mitigation, and prognosis have come a very long way. It can be managed so much better with way less impact. Tip - If you are still dealing with the Vertigo, try a CBD vape. My GF dealt with Vertigo for months, sometimes for 2-3-4 hours without a break. The Vertigo meds didn't do a damn thing, but CBD or marijuana would stop the Vertigo in seconds...literally seconds.
  16. "a large population of people that travel to/from China and Italy going under the radar for weeks are the main factors that were brought up." If that's the case, it sounds like stricter isolation is needed for NYC and probably for a longer period. They should consider more drastic measures like using hotels (bet they are empty right now) for isolation. That could add thousands of beds for people that don't need ICU care, and keep them from spreading it any further.
  17. Didn't watch his whole press conference. Do they believe this a factor of population density alone or are their other factors at play that are specific to NYC?
  18. If you think the national media coverage of COVID has any agenda other than trying to get you to not vote for Trump in November...then consider yourself bent over, and successfully manipulated. I personally don't care who you vote for, but at least do it with your eyes open. How easy is it to make decisions to torpedo your own economy to slow the spread of a disease? We were quicker than most countries to impose travel restrictions and many in our own media called those restrictions "racist." Our biggest misstep was the time it took for the CDC to develop a valid COVID test and get it to the masses. You know the CDC, right...the experts than Trump doesn't listen to, right? The CDCs first attempt produced an unreliable test. The CDC announced the test was available. Trump's team repeated that announcement...then the CDC recalled the test. The media response was, of course "Trump Lied." The CDC and FDA have both done some back pedaling since then. I'm sure that to is Trump's fault...somehow 🙄
  19. Agreed, Mitt is pretty sorry.
