We were just told that there is more serious talk about a Nationwide lock down starting as early as Monday.

The N95 mask will significantly provide protection with Airborne precautions. many have said follow both airborne and droplet with Covid-19. this is why the big talks about n95 mask. it will help.

Same shit happened after the hurrican in puerto rico. 80% of the saline bags are made there and there was a mass shortage. Sometimes i wonder whos making these decisions at the top. You would imagine they would be able to forsee something so obvious

Count yourself lucky IM, that's a relatively small loss. I don't even know how much I'm down because I refuse to look at my account numbers. Just remember, if you haven't sold, you haven't lost a penny, and if you have no intention of using that money in the next 15 years, it's a blip on the screen (I keep telling myself that over and over, LOL)

That loss was just my stocks on RobinHood, I didnt even want to look, but Im down more with my Acorns investment, but not too much, a few thousand. I haven't seen my IRA statement yet, and Im sure that took a shit too. Im tempted to buy more stock because it is so low right now. Im at my wits end with this crypto too, I dont know if Ill ever get my money back now. Had to switch some over to tether, because I cant sustain anymore btc losses. Amazing how you can do so well for a year or two and then in one month lose a shit load.. But Im in it for the long haul, so hopefully our economy can turn this around. Only thing I have that has been solid and I haven't lost money on is my gold. I bought a bunch of 1ounce gold coins when gold was $6-700ounce, and some at $8-900.

Seems like gold is the only thing that makes it through good times and bad..

One of the most frustrating issues is how hospitals are putting "spins" on things. Claim no to very few cases, but in reality, its more about how many cases seen and tested. Since they are sending most able body patients home to self-quarantine, they can state they have very few cases. Also, testing for COVID-19 has been very slow or delayed. So confirmations have been also very slow. I expect by next week for a spike.

I co-sign. I would Trade to try and get a few dollars, but I would not add to any investment positions at this time. there will be more drops ahead.

i think the looting and rioting will probably start to happen in 3 -6 months.

mass layoffs are already happening.

the Fed is printing money like crazy , interest rates are at 0%, they’re doing QE 4. which is bigger than QE 1,,2 and three combined and that did nothing for the stock market it still tanked. it’s game over. I hope everyone is prepared.


buy gold

the 2 things that piss me off the most about this is 1) sars came from a wet market and the only wet market to get shut down was the that one, the rest continued to operate plus I'm sure the one that got shut down operates somewhere else. I think one of the reasons Trump has been shutting down trade with China is so we can do something about this bullshit and not have to worry about our dependence on them. I know theres far more to this issue but to let these places continue to operate when they are responsible for this bullshit is insane. 2) one of the main reasons the stock market is dropping is due to the rich pulling huge amounts of there money out fucking over the small invester. and ive heard about politicians, one in particular, taking over 1.7 million out. Im sure there are many more doing the same plus money managers trying to make sure they get there yr end bonuses. the really fucked up thing is there money comes from the back pockets of the American people because theres no way they got that rich on there senator or congressman salaries. Now there some real leadership and Trump is the bad guy?

Senator Richard Burr? Was he charged for insider trading?
