Apparently not everyone is convinced the world is coming to an end. The Dow has recovered somewhat the past few days. I know absolutely nothing about the stock market, and the more I watch the less I know.

It has a LONG ways to go to get back where it was 30-45 days ago but at least it is finally headed the right way.


I have nothing clever to put here.

There was a lot of "free" money just passed out, might just be a temporary bump as unemployment claims was over 3million last week...

It's way up because of the stimulus hype. As soon as they realize it's a red herring, it will crash again. If President Trump extends the lockdown, it will crash big time. I'm way up. I took the plunge on a guess at the bottom last week and invested. I'm up over 25% right now and considering whether or not to cash out and wait for the next plunge? It will be coming.

I just came from the grocery store. Owner said the warehouse will be sending two kinds of bread....white and wheat. None of the 25 different whole grain etc etc etc. He ordered 25 cases of toilet paper and got 2. But there is toilet paper on the shelf so maybe people are relaxing a little bit.

I paper trade commodities continuing to watch what works for me on trades. On silver with this virus, would have made $16,700 over a couple of days and of course that is only one contract without buying 1 or 2 more when i entered. Nice to know, that could have been actual money in my hands...even better if it was.

Shopping for my "could have been" bass boat next week.

Otherwise, just a steady buy and hold until retirement age in my ira.

Unemployment numbers double than what was expected. Dow jumps 1300. Here is a chart of the past 50 years of unemployment filings.

Dead coon bounce, and wait till the reality of unemployment, the real estate market and lost revenue hits the street the stimulus package is not going to bail us out. It will help but it is going to take a long time for this to heal. Just my thinking but I am glad the market bounced the last 3 days.

I think that as soon is everybody is allowed out of their house they will be happy to get back to work. I believe most small business will pull through this temporary down time and rehire those willing to work. The workers will be happy with zero percent interest rates on cars and homes and will buy like hasn't been seen in a long time. Trump will be smelling like a rose because he'll be the one to have pulled us from the brink of a major depression to stellar highs. Ten he will be voted back in with a lot more one time Democratic voters. I'll give it four months til everybody is smiling.

Optimism is one thing, being delusional is another.

Right on, Gary!

I don't think I'm being delusional, Michigander. I happen to know quite a few people running small businesses and they've been socking away cash over the last couple years. I have a small painting busineness(15 years) and am still working, however, a few week vacation won't put me under, nor will it many of my friends. Recently I painted a nail salon and a pizza joint, both owners paid with stacks of twenties. I have a strong feeling many others are hoarding stacks of unclaimed cash as well.

As far as the stock market goes. Stocks have been so cheap I think it is crazy not to throw some money at it. When the stimulus check comes that is going straight into the stock market as well. Worse that can happen is it is lost, I figure I never had it in the first place. I am a very conservative person when it comes to money (my wife says cheap). I dont go buying stocks I have never heard of hoping they will make it big. I just buy some well known company's and figure hey I have 30 years before I retire.

Oh man that is really great bragging about people who have loads of cash which I presume is in the form of cash because they didn’t pay any taxes on it.
Meanwhile the rest of us patriots pay our fair share. Hiding income is against the law. Are you doing the same thing accepting cash for your work and not paying any taxes on it?

^^^ I hope everyone is stashing cash without paying taxes on it. The Gubmint is the most wasteful body in the world.
