As a trained scientist, I can assure you that nothing you have ever written about C19 has anything to do with science.

Scientists have been talking about the potential for global pandemics for a long time. I had Biology professors in college in the 80s talk about future pandemics. A quick Google search will help you start a list of scientists who have talked about the potential for pandemics. What isn't possible...

I'm not going to watch this video. But as someone with a Biology degree I can tell you that Bill Gates is correct, and it doesn't really take a lot of knowledge of medical history, ecology, biology and epidemiology to hypothesize that there will be more pandemics. We can think about the costs of...

A bad flu year is 80,000 deaths in America (with no closures or mitigations). We've had at least 570,000 deaths in America so far (100,000 under 50 years old). This does not take into account the closures and mitigations that are not used during regular flu outbreaks. If you want to know how...

Well, I'm not a boomer, but a better analogy would be comparing Bitcoin, other coins, and Crypto technologies more generally to the .com boom. There were a few keepers in there. But most .com and supporting tech companies collapsed and never recovered. Crypto probably does have a future of some...

Yep. And Enron at its peak had a tenth of the market cap that Bitcoin does today but had much better fundamentals at the time. Which is to say that Bitcoin has no fundamentals; unless you count "greater fool" as a fundamental.

Government regulation or negation is possible. But more likely that Bitcoin is more the MySpace than the Facebook of the crypto space. My guess is its price will collapse before other cryptos overtake it. Just no fundamental basis yet to support current valuations. Eventually there will be no...

At least Biden won't waste money on a border wall that doesn't work. Most of the migrants that cross over now are immediately returned to Mexico. Not much you can do other than that.

It's posts like this that make me think we are near a top.

The market is over-valued to some extent and has been for awhile. Eventually there will be a reversion to the mean. But otherwise, Biden is a moderate with moderate policies, so we'll be fine

Believe it or not most people can think about more than one thing at a time. Covid, Trump insurrection, and cute kitty discussions are still continuing even though "What the hell happened in the stock market today" is also trending.

I will get it as soon as possible. Vaccines generally are one of the most safe and effective medical technologies ever developed. (I have a degree in Biology and studied the immune system, virology, epidemiology, and public health along the way.)

Current case fatality rate in America is 2%. Many parts of America are at 0% ICU capacity currently. Somewhere between a quarter and a third of all cases (even asymptomatic; and no matter what age) have long term damage to one or more organ systems. Why you feel a need to spread so much...

TD Ameritrade customer service has been great. I don't really need to contact support much, but when I do I have no issues. Very quick response.

If you are following the demographic and voting changes in Texas, then you realize that in 10 years or less Texas will have Democratic Party leadership instead. Kind of like how Georgia just now is beginning that change visibly with the slim win for Biden.

Just reading that Iowa, Minnesota, Utah, and the Dakotas are at the point of not having any more hospital capacity. Other states are starting to reject asks for spare hospital beds due to their own surge projections for hospital needs. Iowa is telling people to make contingency plans if they...

Biden isn't going to shut down the country. When hospital systems start to collapse due to overwhelming numbers of Covid-19 patients and then death rates spike, as we are approaching in various regions of the country currently, then people will naturally retreat and the economy will shut down of...

Nope. The Democratic sweep of house, senate, and presidency may lead to a slight sell off initially. But will recover by the time Biden is sworn into office. As a moderate, Biden may do some things to cause a slowing of profit for corporations in certain sectors. But overall his sanity and...

Lots of people thinking its fake it seems. But now that he is at Walter Reed for at least a couple of days its doubtful he is faking it (and he wore a mask on the way). They say he has a fever, cough and congestion and is fatigued currently. My guess is that he is either freaked out (because he...

Markets cannot be right or wrong; markets are based on human behavior. Some humans are wrong and some humans right. Most humans don't know that they are wrong or right until sometime later.
