COVID-19 Thread

Hi Bryan,

Margie and I are keeping a set of cool heads, and instead of hoarding Toilet paper, we are prudently using the following procedure. For every trip to the toilet, we are issuing each other only one segment of TP. Our usage has plumeted. Only downside is that our friends are not visiting us anymore....small price to pay for being protected from COVID-19 by efficient use of TP!

Double your efficiency:

Only use TP every other trip.

Also assists in keeping people out of your personal space.

Hi Phil!

I mentioned your brilliant conservation strategy to my wife.

She kicked me out of the house to search for the elusive TP.

Anything to drive the Ranger, right?

I drove around the entire valley.... not a roll to be found!

Came home with this:

How’d I do? ?

In regards to the mass panic, a fellow coworker who does plays the market bought stock in surgical mask manufacturers, sold em 10 days later, made $22k.

As for my opinion...ain't skeered. My downfall might be my smoking, but I started taking some vitamins to aide my immune system. I'm not around people much, just machines.

People just need to relax! Wash hands, be diligent and try not to touch your face, be cautious around the older folks just in case you have the bug. BUT, live your life. This too shall pass.

Oh, and just brought home new Lariat Ranger this afternoon.
Rapid red, fx4,sport package.
Now the add-ons start.

The internet will hold, businesses will use less bandwidth... probably be more netflix streaming so in the highly unlikely case we didn't have the infrastructure bandwidth to handle it they could just turn off the 4k option and boom tons of bandwidth left. No sports to stream... as for the COVID19 it's a highly infectious virus and while the mortality rate looks high I think that stat will drop dramatically. Right now we have mainly tested people that presented somewhat severe symptoms. Many thousands likely got mildly sick and never knew they had it. We'll see if that holds true.

And mortgage rate are at all time low...time to refinance...less than 3%

I've already filed the necessary documents for a re-fi, supposedly 2.8%

Anyone find it strange that the virus is just now discovered? The Chinese have been eating that garbage from that area for a very long time. It showing up now is weird. I wouldnt put it past their own government did it. The media is going to suck every drop of blood drama they can. The more panic they can create, the better their ratings will follow. They really love bad things to happen. Im sure Trump will be blamed for everything that goes wrong, its all single minded people can comprehend.

US media is absolute trash.

Since you ask, I personally couldn’t disagree with each and all of your conjectures and statements more profoundly, but at least we all share a love for the Ranger. Probably other things too, like love of country and care for our communities. Hope these commonalities can shine through now more than ever, because if our disagreements prevail at a time like this, good luck to us all.

Hope people were buying stocks yesterday as recommended. Same guy saying sell some stocks in early February as well. Retired CFP not even 40. Cheers .

$VIX closed at 75.5 yesterday, 4th highest close ever. In every instance from similar levels, $SPX rallied by +10% immediately & over just 1 or 2 days #Markets (datatrek)

It’s kinda sad where you hear it from the horses mouth himself saying this and that..... telling lies and bullshiting. Yet his loyal followers when asked about certain facts can’t come back with a legit answer. Only the, have an open mind or its obamas fault. this forum is making Tacomaworld seem tame. I recall pming a member to simply give me reasons why trump is so great, could not get one answer but to “have an open mind”

 

[808matt]

The one great thing about this president is he crashed the market to were I can finally refinance! go trump lmfas

 

[Dmax]

Could say the same about Obama. Couldn’t understand why he was given a pass from the criticism when he seemed like a terrible president. Criminal/prison reform nope. That was trump. Ending wars abroad/bringing troops home/getting our allies to pay for our help. Obama. No, sorry trump. Obama couldn’t grow the economy over 2%... I could go on. Compare apples to apples and it’s a no brainer who has gotten more done for America. I have no political affiliation and it seems very obvious people who hate trump look at his personal issues vs what he’s done. Where Obama was considered a saint and didn’t do much with the platform. Whether you like rangers or not if you’re going to bad mouth the sitting president don’t expect others to agree or respect its better to say nothing. I’ll end my point there.
