Am certain March, April, May should be almost as good. As fix is in, and will most certainly be better, as newly minted soldiers already being prepped for deployment in large numbers. Perhaps 400 Bilion + Repo QE + Rate cut is not enough they will argue +/- another 20% for good measure. Elizabeth Warren just proposed a $400 billion stimulus package to fight the fast-spreading coronavirus. Here are the full details. markets.businessinsider.com Warren released a new plan Monday to combat the coronavirus, which is spreading around the US. She is calling on Congress to enact a $400 billion spending package to limit the economic damage from the virus. "I've been worried that our economy is heading towards another crash- and coronavirus is already a serious economic threat," Warren said on Twitter. Sen. Elizabeth Warren released a new plan on Monday to combat the fast-spreading coronavirus, which has infected at least 85 people in the US and led to two deaths. The Massachussetts senator called for a $400 billion stimulus package to shore up the economy and for Americans to receive free testing and medical treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus. These are actions Warren is urging lawmakers to take right now. "I've been worried that our economy is heading towards another crash- and coronavirus is already a serious economic threat," Warren said on Twitter. "I've got a plan to address the economic impact, and I'm calling on Congress to act immediately." Warren also wants to implement an emergency paid-leave program to ensure that workers can still make ends meet if they are infected or show symptoms of the coronavirus. The US doesn't offer guaranteed paid leave protections for sick employees - leaving people in lower-wage jobs who can't afford to miss work at greater risk from the virus. Experts are projecting that the coronavirus will shave at least 0.2 percentage points from gross domestic product growth this year. Goldman Sachs recently revised its growth forecasts from GDP down to 0.9% in the first quarter and o% in the second quarter. Warren's proposal seeks to restrain those losses. Among the goals of the emergency spending as laid out by her presidential campaign are: Low or no-interest loans to companies hit by disruptions in global supply chains.Unemployment insurance or direct payment to individuals and families relative to their lost wages.Aid to state or local governments to maintain essential government services.Support to domestic manufacturers and "jump starting" ability to produce pharmaceutical products.Investment into green infrastructure.The coronavirus has infected over 89,000 people worldwide and killed 3,000, with most of those cases and deaths occurring in China. Concerns over lost corporate profits and reduced economic growth caused the stock market to shed $6 trillion in wealth last week, the biggest one-week amount since the 2008 financial crisis.

Ask Jack? Message 32581182 But remember this, too. When you see pharmaceutical companies raising the price of drugs to unconscionable levels; when companies cut back on research and development to satisfy Wall Street; when CEOs routinely make $40 million to $50 million a year, you now know whom to blame.

I think it may end up being all about the weather A late spring or an early spring will set the stage for when the next drop is (soon or in the fall/winter). Of course, over what might be a dull summer you can aways gamble on economies south of the equator. <g/ng>

I have some stink GTC bids on MSFT and AAPL based on essentially what Bernstein reports. Gold has acted reasonably per script. Has not gone crazy, only reasonably neurotic. Expect a slam down later in the day. Tomorrow gold will go crazy to upside. Message 32580763 I have actually sold some highly-appreciated FNV, not much, but there is no doubt that it is getting way ahead of itself. Priced for perfection, to use an old hackneyed cliche. So, time to take some profits in order to garner ammunition for the coming fire sale in some very good equities. Rather than time the fire-sale and test my good luck so far, I will be using no-risk GTC stink bids. No harm if wrong, great if right. Your strategies are too complex for me, though I'm sure they work fine for you. Not only do I think they increase risk unnecessarily, I am sure that I'd be toasted if I tried them.
