12 rolls last me about 2 weeks, but i’m full of shit :rolleyes:
Be careful out there Bob !

We are very savy here on the Island. No hair, just clean air from the Pacific.

You too Lagonda, stay alert...this is very very serious.
I cannot be more serious than that saying it.
 
Makes sense.

I consider myself reasonable with numbers, money, investments, predictions, etc.
I admit that here I have zero clue where's the end of the global financial markets.
And the expert articles I'm reading from the expert analysts etc., they don't know either, and the ones who try to be smarter they know even less ...
 
No one wants to be the last person to sell. The markets don't actually have a reason to tank, since business as usual for almost everything on it is the same. It's just all about who gets to buy the dip.

However I don't feel sorry for anyone in positions that suck with the companies that are zero profit. Amazon doens't make a profit and it's down a bunch - on any other day it'd be making moves to make the value increase. Here's the irony, if it was a profitable company people would get some fat dividend checks with all the panic buying greatly increasing sales... I'm not saying I don't desire to make money on no profit companies, but they're also deplorable for actual economic stability and strength.
 
i m flying back to europe tomorrow due to corona .
Company orders , they are afraid that after thursday all flights will be suspended
A client asked for a person to come work in peru , but that includes 2 weeks forced quarantine in lima first :confused::)
All foreigners entering the country have to

Be extra careful boarding that plane; before, during and after.
And, wear a good quality mask.
Watch what you touch with your hands, and of course wash them real good.

My very bests in your voyage ...
 
What about with the search function

The search function for this one Ked is my brain.
When all activities (travelling, restaurants, concerts, schools, markets, etc., etc., etc.) are shut down almost globally (main country players ... USA, China, Japan, UK, France, Germany, ...) it has a tremendous negative impact on the oil and financial banking industries.

Me I think we haven't seen anything yet, and before we talk of the road to financial and health recovery it's going to be sunny and rainy several times ...
Hurricane and typhon and tsunami and tornado and volcano and fire and inundation and dry and monsoon ... seasons have better be minimum on the global climate change soundstage or the planet with the people living on it are not out of the woods until the next blue and red moon...the rainbow moon.

I thought they put it all back into other stuff. If they just divie it up then they'd be paying taxes.

What they do with profits is unrelated to having them. They are making a ton of money. Today, the market was down 13% while Amazon was down only 5%.
