Only 0.4% less, but that's still in-the-money. BCG: early strain - the more powerful one. Not seen much science on that yet though. And no doubt eating very well virtually every single meal for 40 years of your life makes you more resilient to illness. Data across many Asian countries is...

Your last sentence is correct. Looking away. But how does low test numbers reduce deaths? Test numbers are meaningless if people are not dying. And they are not dying. 800, in 4 months. Did you know that every suspected Covid death in Japan gets a chest CAT scan, and if pneumonia is detected...

The article from April is hilarious. The press have to make every headline bad about the virus. They shoot at every shadow they see, and in some cases they get it totally wrong. But that doesn't matter, they achieved their goal and move on. The second article is more accurate: for what ever...

Japan doesn't have a strict tourist visa.

The west have a habit of making that mistake. England is more like Germany, than Korea or China are like Japan. Yet seldom do people group E and G together. But the big thing is, Japan has done virtually nothing intentional to contain the virus. Trust me. Japan is very very slow to the...

Good preliminary thoughts https://www.jsatonotes.com/2020/03/if-i-were-north-americaneuropeanaustral.html

This is the big data point that stands out. Japan's hospitals simply are not full with dying like in Italy, yet Japan had wuhan flu in-country well before Italy (and Spain, and NY.) And Japan didn't really install any meaningful preventative measures. Yet, virtually no one has died. There has...

When did flu last kill the doctors treating it?

WGAF if the exchange is a monopoly if you can make money.

It isn't a book. It is apparently only the equivalent of a 55 page pdf. In a way that is encouraging, as most books are padded with fluff anyway.

Four posts in and you are already using that "Jigsaw Tone." Do you get a commission per sale of the manual. Y/N?

Jesus = socialist. God = authoritarian dictator. Both = anti-freedom.

32 in portrait is an appealing option for sure. But I like to have any screen space above my eye line tilted downwards, and large monitors in portrait don't allow that. But I am very close to your thinking otherwise. My very first job had these mini monochrome monitors. Actually looked (minus...

Nah, not at all for me. Smaller panels allow for easier configuration, and they are cheap. I do prefer larger than 24 for space, but when you start getting many 32's in a geometric curve, they are too big to work together. And they cost more for decent resolution. 24 is a good compromise...

They are attractive, these curvey things. But I continue to like the scalable and modular versatility of multiple 24 inch flat panels.

Just at a glance, the Dec bar is an unhealthy bar for an uptrend. And looking at daily, I'd already be short from around 1900. But I'm not, so whatever, talk is cheap.

The monthly chart looks like a huge sell. I traded PA in 2003, don't think I never made any money on it. I was attracted by the huge turn-of-the century bull then bear moves. They were small compared to today. Wasn't trading in 2009, so sadly missed that big trend.

All brokers are a credit risks. Do higher margin requirements buy you reduced credit risk? If yes, is the price too high? If no, then do business with the broker with lower credit risk, all other things being equal.

That's actually a pretty small bonus. Must include grads and the back office in the average. "Sitting behind a desk and going to meetings." Actually, too much of that and you lose your job faster than you can take a piss. I saw it many times: from the moment HR rang your phone, to the moment a...

SPY :) I was wrong to not mention leverage though. My point was that unless you are levered, being "all in equities" in the traditional balanced portfolio sense will take a long time make you rich, unless you already are rich, in which case it just makes you richer. Eventually, you will have...
