So says the guy who constantly has to walk back his own predictions.
The crash is coming.
Maybe with the millions of evictions that will begin soon?
For now, I am largely in real safe, boring, low to no interest stuff...but am riding a big investment in Tesla (going great) and some in airline stocks (killing me so far)

I have never walked back anything Troll.
You have three months left to use that handle. Make the most of it.
You are a worthless turd, Detector Dude.
You are constantly walking things back.
And you do not get to put a time limit on my use of this handle. Go Pats!
Yes, I do. Three months and your handle is irrelevant. Like you never existed.
Go Orchids of Asia!

So what if they do? Seem like every earnings conference call i've listened to, its mostly the forward guidance of the upcoming quarter and beyond that heavily determines the immediate stock movement up or down. Also what moves the stock price is when the company issues revenue warnings before earnings.
Come on, you've been through this before. Nobody believes stock price/demand is as simple as whether or not a company's earnings meet analyst consensus estimates.
It's a whole new quarter. In the words of Stewart of the much loved Ameritrade ad- you know the one - What do ya say we light this candle?
Find out which soon to be bankrupt company Stewart's boss bought:
What, you missed the one where Stewart snuck into his office and shorted K Mart without telling him and gave him the proceeds just as it was in full implosion mode?

The Pats have replaced a MVP Super Bowl QB with another one. Jealous much?
I got it, now buying a Newton jacket. At least he went to Blinn College.

What?
Hey, Igy, how was your 4th?
Hopefully a safe one. How about this weather?
CHOP is gone and things quieting down here. Time to get down to wiping out the virus and get on with the business of rebuilding the economy (for all).
Seattle,
Good weather and July 4th. I ran a track workout in the morning with friends, and then in the evening we had the kids over for hamburgers and hot dogs. Wife is heating up some left-overs tonight, which is fine with me. Nursing a Negra Modelo as I wait.
We have doubled our Covid 19 cases in two weeks. Boise has mandatory mask wearing in public. I have been wearing a mask in public since mid-March. I really don’t understand the objection by some of something so easy, and respectful to others.
How about you?
Igy
Igy, good deal.
Eastern WA is in the news here about the surge, so not surprised. I've been wearing a mask mostly unless i forget, but its so easy to keep social distance, i guess i am technically exempt.
I don't wear it on runs, and i've been lucky enough to be doing that every day.
We are going to do some take-out tonight, and that's like something we get excited about, as pitiful as that is. DId a little 4th celebration with friends and extended family on the 3rd, lot of fun, actually. And sat outside on the patio of a local brew pub on the eve of the 4th.
Just normal stuff in normal times, but now it's a big(ger) deal.
Oh, yeah, did an interval workout with the running club this week- small group, kind of done in my own group, but others were there doing the same.
This is a very weird time.
In the midst of some hardcore yard work at the moment.
Take care and here's to putting all this behind us!
Where I live (undisclosed European country), things have been gradually re-opening for about two months. We wear masks when crowds can't be avoided, and inside shops that require it (most of them). Over the past several weeks, we are seeing more people out and about, and lately the outdoor cafes in our town square have been very busy. For us, first big treat was a haircut about six weeks ago. Since then, we've made several day trips to nearby towns within 1-2 hours, including twice into a neighbouring country. We ate lunch at an outdoor cafe about three weeks ago, and then moved up to two indoor meals, including lunch over the weekend involving a burger with foie gras, something I'd never tried (it was very decadent). Yesterday we saw a movie for the first time in four months, which was a real treat.
We are on a steady trajectory back toward something resembling "normal," which is very nice. I'm still afraid of getting sick; I'm no spring chicken and am not ready to check out just yet. I'd like to use some of my hard won, if paltry, retirement savings before I move on willingly... :-)

All that reopening is going on here in the US as well. We simply proclaimed the virus to be defeated and just like that, it was! Who knew it would be so easy all along! What would the world do without us.
rally hats, gents.
VWO (emerging market etf) is up around 11% in 3 weeks.
