Down goes the Dow

All 3 things I bought are down significantly pre-market. Hmmmm...

Yes I know, “hmmmm” is not a strategy :)

the idiot,

Thanks for the shout out. Best news was a clean two year post chemo CT scan a few weeks ago. About 20% of patients with my disease transform within 24 months, where the disease morphs to a more lethal form. Tuesday they removed my chemo port which was implanted February 21, 2018. Cleaned out my work office last week, moved into my home office. Finishing up good bye calls to my clients over the next couple of weeks; most I have known for decades.

Huzzah! But beware. after I retired, I ended up moving my home office into a real office...and I’m now finishing moving it back home?.

Maserati,

I could see getting involved in something else work wise. For now that is not in the plans. Looking to make another push into masters track. See how I hold up.

Happy retirement Igy - Cheers

VIX is already very high: 34. Hard to imagine the market falls too much from here.

I'd guess Friday AM will be down another couple percent and then bargain hunters and people who don't want to lose fortunes (AGAIN) riding their puts into the ground start buying.

I mean the economy is coming back and a virus in calendar 2020 is almost for sure, it seems.

Thanks agip. I delivered the Los Angeles Herald Examiner the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. It was an evening paper. People walked out to meet me. I have always done something productive. Perhaps once Covid 19 passes I will volunteer at the cancer center at my hospital. I will continue my masters track coaching three times a week. Manage my own money, help my wife with housework. This period has been has been a good transition to domething formal.

Unless VIX sails up to 80 again, maybe? :-)

I’m thinking about buying some MSFT this morning.

Didn't that get you in trouble yesterday? :-)

A break below about 11,250 NASDAQ would trigger Vix to 40, additional steep selling, move above 12,000 a rally, damping Vix to 25, and push higher.

My Tesla at an amazing high in trading post close on Monday.

I have been absolutely hammered since.

You mean buying? Only time will tell. I believe in the prospects of AAPL and PYPL, TSLA is just a pure gamble. MSFT I like even more, longer-term, than AAPL.

unemployment down to 8.4%...V shape, baby.

You're underwater again! 216.8 just now...

Temporarily, no doubt... :-)

Kind of impressive but I think the doomers overplayed their hand a bit in the spring. A $20 trillion economy is not so easily felled.

Everything I have touched in the past week is down., some of it substantially. Even the stuff I had before, like gold funds. Pypl down another 5%, msft down, etc

It seems like just the nasdaq getting torched
