    We thought we were going to have pay about 35,000 in that we didn’t have too.

    Now we have that money aside and I sorta want to short this dip with it.

    Thoughts on people that know way more than I do about that.

    Geez. Booster money under the table must be pretty good up there.

    I would tread very carefully into shorting unless you know what you are doing with it.

    Me shorting would just be buying a index fund and waiting for this dip to rise.

    Ah. I'd just throw it in there then. Pick one that you trust and just buy it. I don't think we know exactly what the bottom will be. If nothing else bad comes out, we've probably hit it.

    My plan is to stock up on booze and bullets, so when Coronageddon(TM) does pop off, I'll be king of my area.

    Already up 6.5% today. Not quite as nice as my super savvy investment in Tesla (9%).

    Bad couple of days for Robinhood traders. A leap-year bug kept them from trading on the best market day in 10 years. Then crashes again today after the Fed cut rates.

    Someone help me out. If they economy is freaking red-hot screaming machine, why is the Fed cutting rates?

    Seems unnecessarily short term interference, but again, economics all seem voodoo to me.

    There’s going to be supply chain issues too so this will lower the cost of capital to bridge that gap too

    Yep and supply chain issues are already here. At least businesses are already scaling back in anticipation of growing issues.

    I’m twisted on how I want to play this.

    I rotated to bonds last week. Missed some of the drop, caught only half of the rally, but today went more positive on the trade with the bond bump and market drop. I actually decided to rotate back to a more balanced portfolio at close today.

    Oil just dropped 30%.

    Sounds like tmrw is going to be an absolute bloodbath.

    My wife is playing these games. I'm not. I never believed I would ever "retire" anyway, I am just continuing as usual. I'll leave the gambling to her and you.
