Good for you. I think I’ll sell our AAPL position, 70% profit in the course of a few months is enough. Downside beckons.

the China strain of flu seems okay at the moment internal travel is open, restaurants are working, and folks going about business going about the USA strain appears either weakening or people increasingly taking it for granted and accepting its prevalence, so also appearing to mattering less to the economy as far as 51/49% are concerned, as opposed by 49/51% of other people, so as yet unclear the Melbourne / Australia strain appears to be handled by the police as opposed to by medical folks - hard to say what might be going on there No clue re Europe, and less about India, never mind re Japan, and who knows about anywhere else. In HK we can gather in groups of 4 as a family of more than 4, as of yesterday, to eat in restaurants. Before we had to restrict ourselves to tables of 2. We still cannot access the beach that feature life guards, for that involves crossing police line. We can swim outside of the shark netting should we choose. Schools shall progress from Zoom to physical in a few days time, we are told. Peninsula Hotel remains near-empty, even as property transactions are underpinned by folks who live here but had heretofore not owned an abode. Rental yield is less than 2%. Dividend yield on lightly leveraged property holding companies are at 5-6%. No more hoarding of toilet paper. In the meantime I bought more physical gold ... well, one ounce more, for a particular ounce became available and I only have one and needed two of circa 1910. I have 2 of each of other releases in the 8-coin series featuring the years of late dynasty and early republic. The coins are re-strikes by use of original die of coins from history 186x - 191x. A classic is reborn. The 1910 China Central Mint Water Dragon silver coin is one of the most sought after vintage Chinese coins and has been brought back to life in the form of a 1oz gold release. Story: This iconic design was a Dragon Pattern Dollar from the final period of the Chinese Empire and the Qing (Ch’ing) Dynasty. The Central Mint in Tientsin – operated by the Board of Revenue in Peking – minted a multitude of coinage types in the later portion of the Empire, in an attempt to unify the currency system of China. Unfortunately, China’s administrative disorganization inhibited the reforms from gaining traction and thus many of the designs including this one never made it to the light of being in circulation. The obverse design features a fearsome Asian serpentine Dragon flying over a depiction of the sea. The fiery pearl and cloud wisps invoke the powerful nature of the creature and the design has been given the nickname of ?? (shui long or translated in English water dragon). The upper legend states: “Made during the reign of Hsuen Tung” with seven-pointed rosettes and floral bursts found in the outer design, with the denomination of “$1” found at six o’clock. The reverse features four Manchu characters, floral bursts at three and nine o’clock, with two Chinese characters stating “1 Yuan.” The four central characters denote: “Great Ch’ing (Dynasty) Silver Coin.”

Possible TSLA, that the shares might go up again Could be Theranos, that it is a near-fraud, or just-fraud-in-progress Doubtful, but might simply be Bre-X, the show that ended many similar shows zerohedge.com People Are Rolling Cars In Neutral Down The Hill Where The Nikola One Semi Was Allegedly Filmed "In Motion" Among the bolder accusations made by Hindenburg Research in their recent scathing report about Nikola Corporation was the allegation that Nikola faked its Nikola One semi truck "in motion" video, which appeared to show a functioning big rig barreling through the desert, trailer in tow. Hindenburg alleged, based on a former employee who spoke with Nikola's Chief Engineer Kevin Lynk that "the video was simply the result of Nikola towing the truck to the top of a hill and rolling it down." In other words, the video wasn't of a working semi, but rather just a truck rolling down a hill. "The deception involved in the production of this video appears to have been elaborate," the report claims. "The company scouted a remote section of road on the Mormon Trail just to the south of Grantsville, Utah, which we have since located. This section of road is lightly used and features a 2-mile-long perfectly straight stretch with a consistent 3 percent grade–plenty of length and enough of a slope to get a motorless truck rolling." Hindenburg even claimed in their report that they "rolled a vehicle in neutral down the same hill" and "reached a top speed of 56 mph and rolled for ~2.1 miles". This has prompted some social media sleuths to do their own investigating; heading out to the precise area mentioned in the Hindenburg report and filming their vehicles, in neutral, heading down the same stretch of road. The hashtag #NikolaChallenge is being used to document the results. Like, for instance, this video posted over the weekend which appears to show Twitter user @Nick_P3D taking his Toyota Tacoma to the designated spot on Mormon Trail and letting it roll down the hill in neutral. "We're starting just below the cattle guard," he jokes. "It's not a pusher, I assure you." The video his pickup going from 0 mph in neutral to about 48 miles per hour. "This is a Nikola powertrain we're testing," the user jokes. "I have no need to order the Badger. I've converted my Tacoma to the Nikola powertrain," he says at the end of the video. For reference, the video that Nikola posted to its official YouTube account in 2018 looked like this: Sent from my iPad
