[quote=Coronita]Please don’t get a crazy idea to short Tesla[/quote]

No. But I did short 4k of OXY around 19.6. Sweating bullets for a while when it poked through 20. Went out cut a couple floor tiles, checked again and it was down to 19.1x. Bought to cover. Good last couple days day-shorting SMAR and OXY. I am done for the day.

I am surprised that the jobs number would move the market that much. But like I said in another thread, the market is biased towards good news. I was thinking of selling into the rally today, but decided against it. I sleep well with the current 75/25 (bonds vs stocks) allocation.

sheesh…that’s good timing on me…looks like small caps is up another 3-4% today. That’s almost +10% since I got out.

Why is that tub of lard is completely incapable of relating to the people and situation like this one does. Small gesture and goodwill go a long way:

[quote=scaredyclassic]yeah, but…when?

The signs are there, no one knows for sure when, though.
However, there’s a thing called sleep quotient for stock owners. If the amount of $$ you have invested in stocks causes you to lose sleep then that’s an indicator that you need to reduce your positions.

Don’t know. This was an interesting read though..

These Housing Markets Could Be Most at Risk in a Coronavirus-Fueled Recession

This isn’t the only source saying this too.[/quote]

If history repeats, I expect Las Vegas, Phoenix, and our very own Chula Vista will all get a 50% haircut. I think CV was down that much during the last 2 housing busts. I’ll be buying in CV this time around.

[quote=Coronita]It could be argued that China probably would not have fallen to the Communists had western nations not raided and weakened China’s empire during the Opium Wars.[/quote]

China was already weak and had fallen behind most of Europe and Japan. The Chin themselves were foreigners. Guess which foreigners Dr. Sun worked so hard to drive out of China?

[quote=Coronita]
Also, let history show that Taiwan was actually on the side of Imperial Japan during WWII and to this day still maintains a slave/subservient image among old time
Japanese, especially in the way that Japanese officials never acknowledge Taiwan, even during the Tsunami crisis where Taiwan donated a lot of relief money to Japan.

Wait, wasn’t Taiwan a colony of Japan by then?

[quote=Coronita]
Old school Japan only respect those that have put up a fight with them, and from that regards respect the mainland Communists much more so than the Islanders that simply let bent over without a fight.[/quote]
Dude, they should respect Taiwan b/c the KMT were the ones that put up any fight at all against Japan’s invasion of China. The cunning red commies just hid out in caves in far flung areas to wait it out. You know like that saying “fisherman enjoys the fortune” strategy?

[quote=outtamojo]Pretty much agree, but where do we hide out?

Is cash safe? Like a broken clock I myself worry about hyperinflation.

What distressed assets should we look to buy?[/quote]

Don’t overthink it. If nothing comes to mind, cash is just perfectly fine.

Yeah. Indexing those 10 companies….or that’s a sign to have one foot in and the other one out.

** I have gone back to 25% stocks 75% bonds as of today.

[quote=The-Shoveler]Market just seem wrong somehow.

IMO seems we are just one missed stimulus or something from falling off an economic cliff but then again what do I know.[/quote]

There is an article by Barron’s that talked about the lack of breadth during the recent run-up. The top 10 companies – msft, aapl, amzn, fb, intc, csco… added about $900 billion to their market cap while the other 2600 companies shed about $300 billion. That’s quite a divergence. It doesn’t seem right. We all should just roll with it.

I don’t think ventilators will kill you. It’s just that if a patient reaches a point where they need ventilators then the probably of dying go up due to their poor general health (underlying health conditions). If someone needs a ventilator then they got to have a ventilator, I don’t think they have a choice – either don’t go on it and die now or go on it and have a fighting chance.

What I am trying to say is all of a sudden people don’t seem to be too concerned about the virus – including the media from left to right. SMH

[ltsddd]

Before this month is over. We’ll be hearing ventilators again and again and again. All those in-your-face shouting is exactly what not to do wrt the coronavirus. We should all learn to protest like Gandhi did.

[quote=Coronita]That’s why so much ancient Chinese set and artifacts can still be found in Museums in UK.[/quote]

You should be grateful there are still “so much ancient Chinese set and artifacts can still be found in Museums”.

As bad and painful as it is to lose that much of a nation’s treasures to another country; in the case of China that might have been the best thing to happen to her.
Try to imagine them being smashed or melted down for scrap metal by the Red Guards during whatever the eff they claimed they were doing back in the 50s and 60s and 70s(?).
