Yep!! Felt the pain on Friday. Depends deployed and sticky pants on. Good luck.

ALL ABOARD the TSLA Train!


While waiting for the S&P 500 to pullback 5% (which might be awhile longer), I bought TSLA in pre-market trading @ 852.00. I had been eyeing it for a few days and finally pulled the trigger.

Now this one reminds me of those dot com days. It burst eventually but it was a lot of fun while it was happening.

Yeah... it'll be fun seeing how high it goes. It'll keep me entertained while waiting for the long overdue pullback.

Whatta ride! 🤪🤣

I’ve been tracking since Jan 24. I’m showing a million dead by the end of Feb, and 57 million sick. The numbers reported are going to slow down, but only because they are running out of tests, and the capacity to test.

It'll be interesting to see where it goes. As of now, Wall Street has become innocuous to it.

Hummm...

Interesting.

That really doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because if the fatality rate was really that high, then I personally think we'd be seeing a lot more leaking of information.

I know the Chinese like to keep things under wraps, but you can only hide stuff so long. People are people everywhere.


Those kinds of numbers of deaths aren't really "scheduled" (predicted) for another week and a half.

WE shall see. If it IS true, then the death rates would be much, much higher than the current models are showing. That would be a really bad thing.


We will know in about a week- if there are lots of people who SURVIVE this thing, then we will know that the current released figures are closer to being true.

If there are NOT a lot of survivors, then we will know, in a week, that the whole world is going to be in trouble.

I understand what you are saying. Of course, none of us know for certain what the numbers are, or will be. But it would seem that the bottom line is that the current "official" numbers should not be trusted. There remains a lot of uncertainty that the market isn't pricing in.
