I have a feeling that when the "second wave" of covid never comes, the market will just begin powering forward for multiple years of solid above-average (dare I say double digit?) gains. The key is keeping President Trump in office.
Ask an actuary. You know. Those folks that set life insurance rates. Life insurance is the same price as last year?
Here is what Stanford and UCLA is starting to point out:
“These infection fatality rates are remarkably low and are similar to the fatality rate for the seasonal flu.”
“The virus is 10 times less fatal than we first thought.”
Dr. Rajiv Bhatia is an affiliated assistant clinical professor of Medicine at Stanford University. He is a former deputy health officer for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, [email protected]. Dr. Jeffrey Klausner is a professor of Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles.
“To properly assess the mortality risk associated with the coronavirus pandemic, it is necessary to examine deaths and death rates from all causes, not just deaths and death rates from COVID-19.”
They are asking this question because it is clear the Covid-19 numbers are highly inflated from other causes of death.
“During January-May 2020, the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services show about 120,000 total deaths in California, which is similar to the number during January-May 2018.”
They are comparing this current flu season against the last big pandemic that his us in 2017-2018 Flu season. The numbers look the same.
“Thus, the 2020 total death rates in California can be approximated by the 2018 total death rates, which are in the CDC’s WONDER database. I focus here on those under 65 years of age because they include students and most working-age people, and because COVID-19 deaths comprise only 3% of the total deaths in this age range during 2020.”
Experts, such as John Ioannidis, Knut Wittkowski, Francis Collins, and Anders Tegnell were saying things to this effect from the start. We should remember those names for the future. They were already very well respected in their fields; they weren't random cranks. We would do well to remember their names and take their opinions seriously in the future.
Praying for it every day. That kind of market move enters the "life changing money" territory for me, even with the stuff I have in the "safe money" category. Good luck with your investing!
On the short term side I've had a lot of luck in this volatile market swing trading MU calls and puts. On the long term "safe" side it is best characterized as mutual funds and company stock. $SPY moving to 400-450 would blow that up huge.
Part of what is levitating the market is the threat of flooding the economy with trillions of new "dollars". This is intended to counter deflation, and so we may be able to get away with it and not get inflation, in the short term. In the long term, it's worrisome.
But the part that Trump is doing well is un-coupling us from Chyna. We need to bring those jobs back to the USA. We need to make things again. We need to MAKE America Great Again.
I’ll second that IF we completely stop buying from Chyna. If Americans are forced to buy from Americans there will be so many jobs to be had.
I think our biggest downfall right now is not only do we not manufacture but we also don’t have the capability to produce the machines that due the manufacturing. For instance, it’s one thing to actually produce for example mask in America, but the other thing is to produce the machine that produces the mask. We can’t completely shut ourselves off from Chyna if we are still buying the machines we need to produce the thing we want.

I see you you are also a man of fine tastes that visits WSB.

I agree with this post.
