So BTC is a commodity? One where you cannot take delivery.

Someone else here said graduating from college is like busting out of the amusement park.

Get Donatello's phone?

So thread is rooting for Natamus and LilWrath. Anyone else?

Down goes Globogym! (my grocery hoarding just got simpler)

CAZ is standing by to be closed.

Schools closed.

College sent about 9 emails saying it was closed until March 20 [lolright]

The line of demarcation should be personal knowledge goes here, your charts and NYT editorials get quarantined.

Happy St Patty's Day

Very informative DC. 55 year B/E stretch?! DCA seems like a great strategy. I like it. It makes sense that the market was due for a correction as stocks seemed to hitting all time highs every week for 5 months last year to early this year.

What influence does the Fed cutting interest rates have? Is that another way of saying they’re making it cheaper to borrow funds- which should boost the economy?

But wouldn’t that inherently signal that the Feds think the economy is in trouble and that market should’ve been going down in 2019 and in prior years?

And doesn’t this have negative effects on the purchasing power of our dollars? As this would result in high inflation?

Natamus and FW hope your families stay healthy!

You both almost 100% have it. Her moderate, you mild.

Thank you gentlemen! Earlier I was pretty sure I was exposed by staying at Bellagio and Cosmo for my wife’s bday in early Feb and that we may have already had mild symptoms. The disconcerting part is we don’t know if that’s true or not or if we are yet to be exposed to the virus. It’s all so vague and ill-informed for USA#1.

When it comes to BestFriend#1: we’ve talked multiple times Monday. We’ve decided that this is what it is. A pandemic or World War was likely in our lifetime and that the former would prove to be of great risk. We have come to that crossing of the bridge/of the road. I’m prepared to ensure my guy is never forgotten if this goes worst case scenario. If it goes best case we are ready to turn EDC upside down with epic Raving after this is all calmed down. Either way we are at peace with and reedy to deal with reality of all ours situation

That is misleading since the dividends received would have been significant plus that was the most severe economic event in US history, and it was also the most overpriced the stock market had ever been until the Dot.com crash ~2000. However, if you simply look at the S&P 500 in 1929 it reached close to 500, which is where it was in the early 1980s.

The good news is that even if you bought right at every top you'd be up quite a bit (like if you bought in 1987, 2000, 2007). However, you'll get an especially nice and quick return when you invest money at the bottom.

Yes, it allows businesses easier access to capital which allows them to invest more money in their business which helps them make more money.

You would think (at least to a point). However, in recent years the fed has been taking these measures even when the economy is seemingly fine.

Well it's certainly inflated asset values but in terms of true inflation (as measured by economists) we haven't had much of it in quite some time. If inflation were to increase, then the Fed would raise interest rates to curtail it. If that were to happen, then many companies' values would suffer, particularly tech names who depend on growth and future profits in order for their lofty valuations to make sense.

I'm here. It's going to be dull.

Ireland is pretty well shut down. Some fast-food type places, convenience stores & groceries open. Hotel bars & restaurants for guests, but pubs all are closed.

Walking through Temple Bar yesterday, the only things I found open were just a few restaurants and gift shops. Seems to be that way all over Dublin.

This guy is a hardcore bull but he said this a week before the stock market started to crash:

What is your major?

DC (or anyone else)

Please try to convince me that the stock market is nothing more than a glorified legal ponzi scheme.

A very smart man once told me you haven't made any money in the stock market until you sell something. Then he told me he would sell his grandmother for a half a point and then dropped a couple hundred bucks on a trifecta box in the next horse race.

i've always felt unless it gives dividends it's a ponzi scheme, of course i can't say that very often or very loudly because that's a good way to get ostracized and never taken seriously but i'm already the shoot to kill non mask wearers guy itt so may as build upon that rep

Used to be that you could just make money off dividends rather than selling your investment. However given the tax code it's more advantageous for companies to just reinvest that money back into the company or buy back shares with it.

For transparency, my last foray in the stock market ended with me watching my nest egg falling off the wall like Humpty Dumpty in ENRON. Good times!

And if they decide to buy back shares with 96% of their positive cash flow instead of reinvesting the money back into the company, then they can count on a bailout when they go nearly bankrupt. Win-win.

If you're going to play on Ignition, whatever you do,

Don't even bother playing during the hours of 6 am until about 4 pm Eastern time during the week.

It's seriously not worth it.

You'll find maniacs and mega donators on the anonymous tables, but I've NEVER seen one during those hours.

Saturdays, Sundays, and east coast nights into drunk time is when you'll find them.

if it slides 3k points on tuesday i will re-evaluate. i'll stikc with 15k for the time being. i've heard 12k which slides us all the way back to 2011 era, which is kind of scary.

but it will probably trend upwards tuesday.

i haven't looked but in the past 3-4 weeks i'm not sure we've had 2 up days in a row.

best of luck feelie and natamus.

Tom Brady announced he is leaving the Patriots this morning.

time to see how good TB12 is behind a mediocre offensive line and without a genius as a HC

Glglgl to you all and your families

haha. what phone did you have prior to the S20? I'm on the S9+ and it feels like I have another year easy on this thing.

What don't you like about the iPhone? I will say the face id function is an order of magnitude better than the one on Samsung. But I'm so used to the Samsung that I still prefer it. Even with the wack ass Bixby sheit I wish they would just give up on.

Gotta keep those terrible airlines in business. Crony capitalism at it's finest!

**** Apple! **** Samsung! I'm reppin' Huawei, bitches!

All of this makes sense. Very informative. Can the government just print more money for themselves if they wanted to?
