Dollar losing ground. Totally expected. Just like the Fed buying into the market, gaining access to the Treasury. All this was warned about way before any virus came on the scene. You haven’t seen anything yet with the markets. It’s about to turn into a hard ride on a rank bull.

You're mixing your metaphors there. A bull market is an up market, whereas a bear market is a down market . . . so its about to turn into a hard ride on a rank BEAR. :-) I see what you’re saying. I was directing it at those that seek security in a manipulated system designed to transfer wealth. It was a carry-over from a conversation I’d just had with a member of my family in WAY too deep. He’s bullish and thinks he just needs to hang on. I meant he was fixing to get trashed! A lot of investors are still clinging to an idea that there’s a rebound in all this, and it’s no further out than the fourth quarter. You’re correct. Hard ride on a rank bear.

The bears have just wound up a big spring on the catapult and as soon as it looks like this virus is under control those bulls are going to be looking for new heights where the air got too thin because of the oxygen robbing virus . Of course we have an election coming up. The libs are worse than the oygen robbing virus, they are just blood suckers, so we shall see. How about those metaphors, lol?

Well, you lost the reader on the "big spring" that got wound up on the catapult. You never tie the metaphor to the subject of your sentence. I like the reference to height, thin air and oxygen. Good parallelism there. But technically the virus does not rob the body of oxygen so I think you overplayed the next sentence. Other than that, keep on metaphoring!!

We have QE Infinity. The market can be made to do whatever the Fed wishes. The market cannot make the working parts of our economy function though. Even Powell said that, before the last rate-cut and stimulus. I think people are ignoring the real effects this will have on our economy.

Michael, part of the problem is that some businesses will fail, and some will be saved. Who gets to decide that with your tax dollars? A lot like they describe the effects of the virus on hospital resources. You could find yourself in a position where you are denied access to some treatment if you’re less desirable than the next in line. When governments take money from one portion of society and disperse it to those they choose, it’s a form of socialism. When governments involve themselves in controlling economics it’s fascism. When government stays out of the economy, it’s called capitalism! That’s basically my take on it anyways.
