This is the end. We are witnessing collapse of the global economy

Wow so intelligent! That's pretty standard. Nothing special about learning about exponentiation. But kudos anyway.

That is not a lefty college rant. You are hilarious. I think you have liberal and conservative ass backwards. You were the one bemoaning how the school system is shit LOL.

Most degrees are useless. Nobody including myself cares about your art degree or your MBA. You go to university to learn how to work for somebody else then complain that the gov't is taxing the rich who use the tax code to their advantage.

Become an entrepreneur and stop bitching about the state of the school system. US universities are among the best world. Ask your why foreign countries like the accept US degrees, but the US won't recognize most foreign degrees.

Europe will accept my chemistry degree. Most US school won't recognize my Irish friend's electrical engineering degree. He has to repeat many courses here.

If European countries thought the US university education was shit, why would do they accept? Why do let us not accept theirs?

Again, going on a college rant when elementary knowledge of microorganisms and algebra is all that's needed in a pandemic. Basically, k-12

I accept your loss in this debate. "Hey guise, you need a PHD in microbiology to understand why we need to sit our asses down at home."

In Italy, and specially in Spain, they don't have enough tests. France a bit and Germany in particular seem to be not counting all dead. Best estimate so far seems to be about 2%. But who knows for real?

I suspect many governments will underreport fatalities to reduce panic

The US stock market could do anything the next few weeks. However, it is clear the majority of investors and companies believe the virus is a transitory problem and they are taking positions based on a recovery. The level of certainty that some traders have in various doomsday theories is almost a mirror image to what early 2009 thinking was in many quarters.

I don't remember a depression in 2010 or 2011. I don't think stocking canned goods was ever a smart decision at any point. What I do remember is buying stocks anytime in 2009 was basically free money for anyone with a 2-3 year time horizon. I have no idea what the bottom will be in US indexes, but I believe the TSX hit a long term bottom last Monday close.

Perhaps not.....But the striking reality that human beings are endowed with such a high moral idealism that saving just one life in essence is saying its preservation is tentamount to saving all of humanity.

Intellectually, we know it isn't.

But buying stocks in 2008 not so much. That's the question, is it 2009 yet? Hindsight is always 20/20.

Maybe Iran and the like, in the case of Europe I don't think it's by design, but rather circumstantial. My point not that there's any conspiracy of silence, but rather that we're still a bit in the dark due to lack of scaled up testing.

...I have no idea what the bottom will be in US indexes, but I believe the TSX hit a long term bottom last Monday close.

That bottom on Monday "felt" a lot like NQ's call back at end of May/beginning of June last year. The only sticking point on this will be the awful data and earnings that will be filtering through the system until the end of calendar Q2 of this year. That's a long time for bad shit to come, as opposed to the May drop, which was just about tariffs.
