You can Bank on This: There Will be Problems
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXVIII This is getting old. Walking our dog around Newport yesterday, my daughter said how weird it feels seeing all the shops and restaurants empty. We walk the same route regularly and have for years. We never stop at the shops and restaurants, but it feels good imagining what’s going on inside. I didn’t want to go down this road with you this morning, but will we ever get back to business as usual? You and I know a lot of these restaurants can’t make the numbers work, and staffing is an issue at least until the end of July when unemployment … [Read more...]
Survive and Thrive May: Future Look at Covid-20, or the Next Deadly Virus
Dear Survivor, What will the response be for Covid-20 or some other deadly virus down the road? Imagine what it will be like when there are opposing views within families, never mind on the county, state, and country levels. Let’s begin with investing. Guess which area has done well. Companies that offer stuff people need, such as consumer staples—specifically dividend payers with a history of increasing them. Compare a tech app on your iPhone you can delete with a swipe of your finger. How about relationships? When your spouse has a check-list before anyone enters the house, never … [Read more...]

Your Survival Guy Thinks about: Guns and Oil Prices
Your Survival Guy thinks: When will Chief Justice Roberts’ Supreme Court protect your Second Amendment rights? Meet the new #1 gun salesman for New York. A judge has ruled that Virginia's anti-gun governor Ralph Northam overstepped his authority when he shut down gun ranges in the state via an executive order in March. A gun is a shield. It protects you. Has there ever been a more important time to own one? I put a tremendous price on my family’s peace of mind. It’s behind everything I do. Weak gun laws put peace of mind at risk. Blue-chip dividend paying stocks may never look … [Read more...]
Cure is Worse than Disease as Government Loses It’s Way Back Home
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXV You feel it in your gut: The cure is worse than the disease. The numbers don’t support a stay-at-home, out-of-work policy for an entire country, never mind most of the world. Turns out Sweden was right from the beginning as was President Trump, who explained that America is not meant to be closed for business. Business, not the government, is our country’s lifeblood. Don’t tell that to the blue states though, as they demand bailout checks for pensions—math that even a first-grader knows doesn’t work. Remember the Golden Rule muni bondholders: He … [Read more...]

The Unintended Consequences of Governors Gone Wild
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXIII As some states inch their way back to a soft-open, there will be plenty of losers, many of whom have done nothing wrong and who are healthy. Think about Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo’s comments yesterday telling businesses they’ll have to allow employees 60 and older to work from home, or offer more paid sick leave. At the outset, most businesses will comply, but what if this type of thinking becomes law? Why would businesses pay more to hire older workers or keep them on staff? Do these governors ever think about small business owners and … [Read more...]
Booker T.’s Influence on Bob Dylan’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Cool story about Booker T’s influence and bass playing on Bob Dylan’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door from this interview in 2012. Songwriter, producer and musician Booker T. Jones makes his first appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live in on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown. From his early work as one of the architects of the soul sound at Stax Records to the iconic tunes he cut with Booker T. & The MG's to his production work with legends like Bill Withers and Willie Nelson, it's difficult to overstate the impact Jones has had on American music. During his Mountain … [Read more...]
