    No, vaccines!

    With all this talk about vaccines, It got me thinking. I have never gotten a flu shot and I have never had the flu. I personaly am not an anti-vaxxer, just that I do not get sick, so I do not think about it. My family and I travel to the Amazon regularly and the whole family have yellow fever...

    No Stimulus checks for us!

    Just a FYI. If you are married and file MFJ and your spouse has a ITIN instead of a Social Security number, you will not be getting a stimulus check. In our case both myself and my two children have SS# and my wife does not, so we will not receive the $2,400.00 we were expecting.:frown:

    Covid-19 Apps in the USA?

    As soon as Peru allows Americans to travel here again, we plan on going to the USA to pick up my Wife's green card and quickly come back. Depending on what happens over the next year up there, we may reconsider moving back to the USA. With that in mind, I am looking for an App for my smartphone...

    Cocktail napkin calculations.

    With the rise of Bitcoin over 10k today, I was sitting on my terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean contemplating and drinking my whiskey. I was curious how Warren Buffets Crypto Currency holdings were doing, so I did a few calculations with the help of my smartphone and a cocktail napkin...

    Moving to Naples,FL

    Like the title suggests, after 16+ years living in Peru, my next retirement home will be in North Naples,FL. For a number of reasons we had planned on moving to Gainesville, Fl. I recently put it up to a "family vote" and even though none of us has been there Naples won out! As my young wife...

    Holy Bitcoin!

    At one point BTC was up a whopping 41% on President Xi's comments. I sold my BTC this morning before his comments, hoping for a lower low. With it now primed to go to $120,000 or so, "plenty of meat left on the bone". Have to wait for the retrace for now. Anybody HODL?

    Trap Door opened today!

    Last week I said this: "There will be one more push to 2860 area (S&P), then we retest the Dec lows, and then rally back to new highs at about 4,000 before this Bull market is finally over in about 3 years!" Well the S&P only rallied to 2940, with the trap door (2770) now open, I expect the...

    Doctor Free for 25 years!

    So, I am turning 66 this year, have great low cost private HI, and the YW thinks I need to go to doctor. Reluctantly, I make an appointment with a highly recommended internist. He asks me for my past medical records and I laugh and tell him I do not have any and have not been to a doctor in...

    Ayahuasca anyone?

    I mentioned in another thread that we are taking the family on a cruise up the Amazon river, leaving from Iquitos,Peru. My YW suffers from anxiety and has expressed her desire to to attend a Ayahuasca ceremony. I had heard it was good for Diabetes type 2 sufferers and did some research on...

    Interesting April Fool's Day

    Interesting day in the market. Bulls- Coming off a great quarter, the average increase for this quarter should be 5.8 % higher. The long awaited "Golden Cross" arrived today ( 50 day MA crossed over 200 Day MA) Bears- Elliott Wave guys put the high for this rally at (SPX) 2868 which we reached...

    FED credibility

    Came across a good opinion piece today on the Feds lack of credibility. Different than "FED caved to Trump" pieces and it is more "FED caved to Wall Street" but with a medical/opioid crisis slant...

    Poll: Is this a Cyclical or Secular Bear Market in Stocks?

    I realize that many forum members are passive investors and are not planning to change their asset allocation regardless of the markets. This poll is not interested in your AA/WR/ plans on when to take SS/etc.

    I vote to call it a Bear Market!

    With the Russell 2000,Nasdaq and 60% of the S&P in a Bear Market, I think we can stop calling it a correction. Agree or disagree with a +1 or -1.

    Beyond this land...There will be Dragons!

    I love this quote from Art Cashin last week referring to a drop in the S&P below the 2600 (psychological level). For myself, I went into the week with 30% equities (net short) and on Thursday became more bullish as we held this level on a closing basis all week. So, on the close Thursday I...

    Today is always the hardest day to buy!

    I am sitting on 83% cash/treas bills right now. I have been waiting very impatiently to start nibbling again at the S&P 500. Volume is looking good for a big bite near the close. Then my Father's favorite words come to mind!

    Nibbling along the edges?

    I went to mostly cash the beginning of the month. I find myself nibbling a bit today and have bought around 10% (SPY). Anybody else thinking we are close to a bottom?

    AI powered active management (AIEQ)

    I might be the only one here into this stuff and at first I was a bit skeptical. I first jumped in at the beginning of the year and have to say the first six months as "Watson" was learning, were pretty disappointing. As we are coming up on the one year anniversary, I am very pleased with the...
