This won't be useful to anyone for any purpose whatsoever but: not only do I not know where the market will go nor what to do about my various positions, commitments, bets and wagers, but I also have no clue about the likely or unlikely outcomes of the pandemic, the protests, the police, the social compact, international relations, my future as either a salaried employee, a consultant or a punter, the future of my neighbourhood, or whether things are about to get cataclysmically worse or exponentially better. In fact, I don't know whether to shit or steal third. All I know is that

And I'm still struggling to remember who that guy was who was always collecting profits "for his dusty bin"".. The way folks in North America are behaving, I think a big destructive second wave is inevitable. Maybe a rally this summer, followed by a wipeout in the Fall? I defer to all who are far less stupid than me, which is most.

ROFLMAZZOFF!

😄 Vintage Stool, this is.

Looks like Doc choose WHEATIES for brekkie 😄

Suggesting that citizens appreciate actual clarity and leadership in moments of crisis, rather than posturing and politicking?

Definitely scares kitty. I don't see how this doesn't tank the shit out the markets. But I know less than zero.

I know Doc axxed us to dicsucs, but I'd like to go back to Jorma's most excellent post. Jorma reminds me of an old Stoolie with a three-letter name, but that's neither there nor here.. According to this count the number of cases worldwide has passed 4 million. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries In the US and Western Europe I multiply that by 20 to account for light and asymptomatic cases. For the rest of the world whatever the numbers reported they must be dwarfed by the reality. The reported numbers are of use mostly to judge the rate of change in in

Pigeon chess. Don't get drawn into playing it. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pigeon_chess https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pigeon chess Here in Canada's epicentre, people have mentally checked out of the whole thing. They've made their cookies and sourdough breads, fought for their toilet paper, and now the pandemic is no longer interesting. I think it's making a huge catastrophic second wave inevitable. I have major losses racked up from the initial leg down, now about 50% recovered. Can't afford to miss the rest of the recovery if one's coming, but can'

My brother just forwarded me an email I had sent over a decade ago, containing the following: QUOTE(Jimi @ Apr 6 2008, 07:54 PM) Here's an alternative explanation. After a generation suffered a youth in economic Depression, and then busted their teen & early-20s youth asses saving democracy during the 1940s, they came home and procreated. Their spawn have turned out to be the most indulged and spoiled and unreflective generation humanity has ever known. They want it all, they've always wanted it all, they demand it now, and they want to stick someone else with the tab.

Busy all day, catching up. That Doppler launch channel made just made me spray sleepytime tea on my phone. W WD Gann and the Brooklyn Bridge charts. I preferred trading the DickArms those days.

I miss Shorty but he's with me whenever I fart in a public place - elevator, lobby, concourse. Every day, in other words 😄 He had so many classics. His take on the red bouncy ball gym teachers comes to mind whenever I have to deal with government.

Doc, how you feeling?

😂

Aucune idée. Peut-être que M. Trump a rétabli la confiance avec sa tirade de baboune hier soir? I'm more persuaded by the pullback in QE though. Or the leveling of cases in Noo Yawk?
