Of course they could just print the money, or they could confiscate from the citizenry or just default and refuse to pay. How about not taking any of those risks and be fiscally responsible.

Unless something changes with budgets or taxes the U.S. has no money to pay off debt, they would have to roll the debt over into new debt at the current interest rate, thereby increasing the debt service costs. Are you suggesting inflation would increase tax revenues to offset the higher debt...

Unless it hits the Fed!

Amazon's customer reviews mentioned this as a common issue. I figured two hair cuts is break-even, so I'm not too concerned about it.

There's an app for that. How long have you been quarantined?

Thanks for the timely post; I was just looking online for clippers. I don't usually wear my hair that short, but I guess it's back to bootcamp for the time being. I can always wear a hat. I just ordered on Amazon. Currently there is a one month delay.

You're not missing anything. I'm surprised this notion is still being discussed without a treatment or vaccine available. Look how fast the virus spread with just one infected person in the U.S. Now it has propagated across the country, laying in wait. The contagious will start the chain...

Ha! I hadn't considered the relevance of my user name in the context of current events. It came from I book I was reading at the time but does seem a bit morbid in the midst of the coronavirus. I would be happy to add an 'e' for the comfort of everyone involved. :)

I have no idea what the stock market will do, but I don't see a quick recovery for the economy. Just getting past the apex of the coronavirus curve does not allow workers to return. It is the very fact that workers are self isolating that we reached the apex. The communities will still...

Here you go: √

I just sold the spy 6% gain. Now if I can just do this 37 more times Ill be back to even. LOL! I'm still holding my original portfolio. I would wager this will see new lows, so I am not making any permanent additions to the stock side of my portfolio. If I am wrong, then I will ride it...

I don't understand this logic. With the virus now in every state, and contagious before showing symptoms, and we can't completely isolate everyone due to workers in grocery stores, gas stations, hospitals, delivery ect.. Why wouldn't the number of infected explode once the isolated are released...

I read an online news article today of renters organizing in refusal to pay rent. They were banding together in solidarity and marking their apartment with a white flag to designate those that refused to pay rent. I can't find the link to the specific article, but there are several on the...

Same here. I sold real estate last year and couldn't bring myself to put the proceeds in the market at all time highs so decided to wait for a pullback. I was supposed to invest it at s&p 2500, but it dropped so fast I waited. I just bought 100k in spy today at 222.80 hoping to sell it on a...

I rebalanced in both today. A very small amount. Small Cap Value and international are a regular part of my portfolio,
