there won't be a shutdown, idk why no one ever takes my offer to bet on it...
I already placed that bet on the stock market... hasn’t been going well.

My wife showed me the perfect analogy someone on social media wrote describing the pandemic in the states...
“The US trying to fight coronavirus is like me when I give up trying to get a six pack after only two months, because it’s easier to tell myself abs aren’t real”
Merica!

You lost money in the last couple of months?
Then you are in serious need of a better stock broker.
Or better yet none at all, and simply put it into a total stock market index fund.
Yesterday: Another record-setting day of cases in Southern California.
Today: Orange County will not enforce mandatory facemask decree.
I sincerely despise a depressingly large portion of this country. Selfish, entitled goddamned f***ing assholes.
You forgot the /sSorry that you hate the sound of freedom ringing.
Haha, I’m holding SPY puts... I have a hedge in place. I’m also referring to a small options account I play around with, not actual retirement money.
Also FWIW I’d be cautious on being too bullish. The market is extreme fragile right now. Dow futures dropped 400 points last night after Navarro said the China trade deal was dead... it quickly jumped back up after he and trump walked back his comments.

The fed is artificially pumping the market and coronavirus cases are booming in some states.

I feel that it takes away from the joke when you add that.
Redfield said at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing that the number of contact tracers has increased from around 6,000 in January to around 28,000 as of early June. But he said the country needs to "continue to increase in my view towards 100,000."
"That's going to be critical for what we're doing," he said.
Once a person tests positive for coronavirus, a contact tracer interviews them to find out who they have recently been in close contact with, and then calls those people to warn them of their exposure and encourage them to quarantine for 14 days to prevent further spread of the virus.
I never look short term. So I don't care what the market does today, tomorrow, next week or over the next two years.
First of all I am not retired or retiring in the next year, although we might a little after. At least partially. So unless you are retiring you should not care what the market does. And if you were smart in building your retirement assets you will be fine then, even all in stocks.
Fair enough — I’ve learned a great deal from trading derivatives first hand (eg, how to hedge properly). I consider that invaluable at 26 yrs old. My 401k is 100% allocated in a target fund. I have student loan debt so my spare money goes towards repaying that debt than investing in equities. Long term, I’d like to build up an equities account and sell covered calls once I have the means to do so.
Options are inherently short term, high risk and not for everybody.

I have seen talks of a second stimulus coming from both sides. I'm sure it'll happen, but yanno... sooner would be better than later.
I'm thinking Trump's only committing to a second round of stimulus checks because his polling numbers are tanking and he absolutely bungled the George Floyd protests, so he wants to get some sort of good will prior to the election to help his reelection odds.
Looks like Trump claimed there will be a “generous” second round of stimulus checks coming.
However he may be twisting words according to Forbes:
No, Trump Didn’t Say There Would Be Second Stimulus Checks
From what I gather, the talks will re-heat when our lazy senators come back to work and a decision will likely be made by Aug 8th before they go back for their always well earned August nap.
