COVID is ALL BUT OVER.

[imjustlurking]

Boeing and Airbus are making formal requests to slow down commissioning of the 5G networks near airports . Might increase the real estate value of property near airports . Come home to your house near the airport , relax and take off your tin foil hat in the 5G free zones

Considering 5G is said to cause interference with radio altimeters, I am all for 5G service being held back several miles from all airports until further studies and/or fixes have been performed.

I would hate to be conducting a CAT II or III ILS and have erroneous rad-alt readings.

So do I, but they are mostly managed by the 'experts'.

What is an expert? If they are that good picking stocks, why do they bother with you (or anyone else) as a paying client?

If they aren't that good, what makes them an expert? Some shit letters after their name? They write a newsletter that sounds good?

What makes a pilot an "expert"? The fact they hold a CPL?

Let me tell you something.

Good traders trade. Good letter writers, (or advisors) -- write letters.

You will notice that I put the term experts in italics. There was a reason for that.

That being said, the 'experts' I deal with have given reasonable returns, but as the saying goes, 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. And the stock market has done plenty of overall rising over the years. Still, there is the convenience of having a diversified portfolio and some spectacular gains on the American market.....and the usual, occasional dogs. Some have recovered nicely while some others were quietly sold off.

I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed that my 'experts' didn't see the covid cliff coming. It was obvious in retrospect, unlike the previous two deep dives. At least it should have been obvious for the 'experts' whose lives revolve around such stuff. Of course, they will say they h=just held on for the long term, that capital gains were avoided, and that I am ahead now compared to where I was. But Feb 2020 would have been a great time to trim some real gainers and then dive back in a month later.

I did jump in with some cash on XIU after the first of the big drops which did work out well(too early overall though) but I had relatively little cash to invest.

Doesn't answer the question.

Why would anyone really good sell their knowledge for $9.95, or $39.95, a month on a newsletter, or for 1% of AUM as a fee, per year?

In some areas, there are 'really good' ones that give out their advice for free;) Investing may not fit that pattern.

Personally my fortune will be assured as soon as I truly understand what a "cup and handle" is and how it's different from a head-and-shoulders or a double top.

You think so, do you?

I think its more complicated than that. You’ll still have a job.

Once you learn to recognize a reverse Bart you'll be ready to trade with the big dogs.

Awesome. I see my stock picks in the pattern of tea leaves at the bottom of my tea cup. Seems to do just as well.

You sound angry. Did this strike a nerve, and expose the truth? I’m sorry. Merry Christmas!

Who is "he" and where did "he" write this?

It's interesting that he was quick to talk about Stalin after Hitler but didn't make mention to Mussolini or Hirohito.

[JerryRig]

You do know the difference between Hitler/Stalin and Mussolini/Hirohito right?

What the hell are you talking about.

Meh he’s just trying to make a trash talking point where none can be made. It’s the same mentality that has bullied mandates on us all. In fact he’s likely gonna become Ops Manager someday. I’ve notices bull talk isa prerequisite.

You do know the difference between Hitler/Stalin and Mussolini/Hirohito right?

Stalin was a Communist. Whereas Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito were Fascists. Although, arguably Mussolini was the only classical Fascist of the lot; whereas the others espoused a very different form of right-wing nationalistic authoritarianism. But, Fascism is difficult to define, simply because we can easily define it in a "classical" sense whereas it's much harder to define it based off of the regimes that were Fascist because of their wildly different systems of government.

The only real similarity between Hitler and Stalin, though, was their authoritarianism. Although, arguably one could say the lot of them were authoritarians...

You still don’t get that if people would stop testing with devices that are not an absolute measurement, (aka fraudulant, as determined in a court of law) cases are irrelevant. You’ve all been bamboozled.

That and the West directly sent Stalin armaments, vehicles, etc. One of those things they "forget' to teach in school.

Hardly. The Lend-Lease Act, and associated shipments via convoy are taught during history classes in high school when the Second World War is a significant topic of concern. The air and land route through Canada via the Alaska Highway as well as the Northwest Staging Route is covered as well.

The latter may be covered in somewhat more detail, being that it directly relates to Canada. But, the RCN also played a role in convoy escort duties to Murmansk.

Nobody "forgot" to teach this stuff in school: I'm guessing you just didn't bother to show up the day World War II was on the agenda. You should also be aware that there's nothing in the least nefarious about this particular example of realpolitik: Hitler attacked the West, Hitler attacked Russia, ergo the West and Russia set aside their ideological differences temporarily and teamed up to defeat Hitler. It's really not that complicated.

The good news is that you can still take time off from posting idiocy on here and sign up for an on-line course in world history: https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=world%20history

Wow. What a load of hogwash. The official line "you are not going to get as sick if you are vaxxed" . Hate to say it but you will probably not wind up sick but dead from the vax. Oh I can hear the screeching already from all the covid Karens. You know who Dr Robert Malone is?? Watch a podcast or two with him. But beyond all of that. The CEO of America One, a large US life insurance provider, has come out and stated that deaths in the 18-64 year old range have jumped 40% from pre-covid times. Now isn't that interesting? Because in "reality" numbers do not lie. Politicians do. But not real numbers. And these are not Covid deaths. So where do you think these are coming from?? Think real hard.This is very disturbing and this is where all of the ranting and raving should be directed. You have all been had.

True but the average person is too stupid and brainwashed after 2 years of fear and vaccine propaganda from the media to think for themselves. It will be funny to hear my I-told-you-so’s once they find out the vaccines destroyed their immune systems for a flu with a 99.9+ survival rate.

You know, I wonder what the survival rate would be if you show up at the hospital and there are no icu beds for you, no need to answer because there is no way of knowing and after two years of anti government/vax rhetoric, you will never see the other side of the argument.
My resolution is the same as you, let this thing runs it’s course and let all the anti-vaxx idiots suffer the consequences of their choices. There will be collateral damage obviously and unfortunately but nonetheless, if you morons can’t get it yet, line up for the beds, if you can find one!
