Not being part of the Eurasian landmass has given us some time. Let’s use it wisely. 

I've spent the better part of the last decade preparing for this exact crisis.

It all depends on whether Italy is the aberration,  or the future.

Even in Italy, apparently 99% of the people dying from Covfefe-19 are old and/or have underlying conditions. This virus is picking very few strong locks at this point.

Like we were literally just here in 2009, market crash with an H1N1 pandemic in progress.

We live in a boom & bust world and the booms & busts are getting bigger as we go.

The market crashed in November 2007... A year and a half before the pandemic.

Not relevant, it's more than enough to cause a total shutdown here, Emergency Measures Act and the whole shebang.

The panic is more dangerous than the virus at this point, at least to the non-elderly with no underlying conditions.

That crash didn't bottom out until February of 2009 the H1N1 Pandemic outbreak was in March right after.

They're really pumping bitcoin right now. It was at 3682 a week ago... now it's 6100 and climbing.... I wasn't able to get my money out of one of my accounts, but I'm glad I didn't panic sell. It feels risky, but I know some wall street people, saying they want to use bitcoin to store money... since the stock market is unsafe.

I hope they pump it, and i'll enter some shorts....

Actually today might be a good time to short for a day... it just rose 17%... I'm expecting a small correction.

Like we're not at the bottom of this market crash right now, it's going to keep crashing for months, plausibly years

Some people say the global elite are moving towards crypto currency... I have no clue... I like to wait until there is a huge pump, and then short.

I've only lost a few dollars shorting... I've lost massive amounts.... buying dips before.

Buying dips is no longer my style. Being a bag holder sucks.

That's millions of people so the government will go to war to protect them, that's the minimum basic role of government

I should of borrowed $5000 from the bank and shorted last month. That was the easiest time to make money, and most people blew it. I was hoping you guys would short... so I could live vicariously through your profits.

The government will overreact in the face of a panic and do more damage than the virus, who knew? If the government really wanted to protect people, instead of just seeming like they want to protect people, then panicking like the rubes is not the way to do it.

I've been buying stock since the 90's, I bought AAPL when it was $11, so I've made a lot of money off this Federal Reserve free money party.

I told a friend of mine to sell at 22000... and the next day it bounced up to 23000... so he writes me back angry.

"Good thing I put my faith in Trump, and not listen to you" You would lost me money... So I wrote him back when it hit 20000 and said... "Told ya so".... He's now ignoring my emails.

He bought Aerospace shares when Trump got in... I'm like sell it, while you're still up... then switch to Las Vegas real estate in 2021....

He said that i'm a foolish liberal, that doesn't know what i'm talking about... I said will see.

If the hospitals are overwhelmed by the pandemic casualties then anybody who needs the hospital is at risk by the disruption, so it's pointless to expect them not to go war in the event this goes like Italy, because that is what will happen.

I don't expect them not to go to war, SIFCLFs gonna SIFCLF. It's just that going to war is simply going to make shit worse in the name of "ZOMG DO SOMETHING!!!", even if that something is counter-productive.

At this point disobeying their orders would be a major indictable offence with a maximum penalty of 14 years in the penitentiary.

After Justin Trudeau commits criminal negligence, and leading to an epidemic in Canada... Take me to court. I can do whatever the heck I want, as long as i'm not endangering others.

I'm going Fishing... I won't be within 500 feet of anyone.
