Gold is up a percent in futures and s & p is down over 1%. Thinking of shorting the market from here but already some or all? of the drop has occurred.

I was scratching my head at the market being positive for so long with the virus running around. I do not consider myself smarter than the market but it appears I was in this case. Nasdaq or tech futures are down quite a bit, China being where all the hardware is built.

I know, bad form to count dollars while bodies pile up.

It's all right. It's harder for the markets to be dishonest when the China manufacturing machine is running at 1/2 speed.

Gold was all over at the open, down $200 then up $20, 1%.

Fluctuations like that are fairly normal for gold at market open.

Which pre-market do you use ?

good time to do a re-fi for people considering that, other than being reamed in fees by the bank. I was thinking about writing the bank president and asking them, instead of charging $5K in fees for a $110 re-fi, could there be another way.

the re-fi cost is the same for a small re-fi as for a big re-fi.

^^ Gold was down $200? really? I use investing.com. Lots of comments there I like to read. No real wizards of predicting anything but some useful info and lots of laughs to be had.

This is gonna hit Korea, Vietnam etc. too. Lots of money is going to be lost before this virus is contained or burnt out.

Any Caucasian, Hispanic, Negro healthy people die yet? Why has the news been so quiet all of a sudden about the regular flu season, which has keeled a bunch of people so they say.

There's this... (best way I know cause the pic is twatter):

They are not allowing Health Provides in the US to test anyone that:

A) Hasn't just returned from China

B) or Been in direct contact with a Confirmed case

Its already here. They weren't concerned about this or testing when it broke out. It was nearly 6 weeks later that they started monitoring inbound travel and that was 2 weeks after China started reacting.

Not much you can do at this point, just keep going about your day to day like it's the black death all over again, bring out your dead and life moves on.

Not to worry, they are on top of this and have the big dawgs working the case:

Trump learned of the decision after the fact and was reportedly angry that he wasn't consulted first - as the decision "could damage his administration’s handling of the response," according to the report.

"Some members of the task force were not told in advance that the infected people would be placed on the plane and learned that only after the plane was on its way back to the United States."

State department defends

"It's important to remember this was an emerging and unusual circumstance," said Principal Deputy Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ian Brownlee.

Like I said, they have rolled out the big dawgs.

The Secretary of the Bureau of Consular Affairs has
an assistant who has many deputies, but one is
the principle deputy, who has
an assistant, who has deputies, but one is
the principle deputy.

That would be our very own Ian Brownlee, who can clearly see an emerging and unusual circumstance in progress. Yet, the media will blame this all on Trump and his decision to bring those 14 back.

Stocks are down in futures well over 2%. Gold is approaching it's all time high.

My anxiety about this is rising quick. I am quite sure now this is gonna be quite bad, but not Spanish Flu territory. Not sure if shorting the market is behind the curve now, or much more of this to come.

Wish I did not have to work now, as I come into contact with lots of people. I would hide in my house if given the choice. Not sure it will affect my general area but not confident at all it will not. Socal is prime breeding ground for stuff.

Youtube's version of political correctness is SO STUPID.

Youtube/ Google are supposed to be the smart ones ?!


I admit it, I'd like to see a 1000+ point down day on the Dow.

Google does not want to piss off the chicoms so they, like facesucker and twatter, obey their masters. That removal of SO2 from windy.com is another example. ZH is now banned on twatter for reporting the weapon lab leakage.

When this gets really bad and they only let the official version on the web, I'll see who is ever left on the re-opening of the internet when it's over.

Makes a guy yearn for CB and HAM radios, but they'd just jam the frequencies. Except the elite's secret frequency...

Damn, that was post #555 and my 727th post (aeroplane). I have a nice buzz and gonnna get flying, the numbers work.

Dow plunges 1000 points..the declines follow steep losses in Asia and Europe on Monday as investors take in the risks to corporate profits and economic growth posed by the coronavirus' spread.

South Korea's Kospi (KOSPI) index closed down nearly 3.9%, its worst day since October 2018, after coronavirus cases in the country surged past 800. In Italy, the main market index was down more than 5.7% after the number of cases there topped 200 — including five death
