Buy as much well diversified stocks as you can today as a retirement fund for much later. (10+ year time span is safe, less is less safe.)
You should've made those suggestions a few months back, before going on like you did. If you call this a "functioning society," I pray we never see dysfunctional.
And sure everyone has knowledge other people do not have. No one ever said they didn't. Lot's of people are also better than I am at lots of things. I'm not the one caught blind sided by this.
Oh, and Tesla is still a long term bad play in my opinion.
And with $2 trillion of future tax revenue plus interest being given away, I'm not so sure stocks are on sale either. Land and tangible property look a lot more appealing to me right now.
Oh, and say whatever you want, dculb. I'm pretty confident, I will never reply as it serves no valid point.
I just hope others are starting to realize how fragile things really are and do what they can to protect their families and friends.
