Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXII

UPDATE January 29, 2021: It’s freezing up here in the northeast. The real feel in NH is -19 today and going lower tonight. You gotta keep your immune system strong. I load up on liposomal Vitamin C, especially when it feels like I’m living on the dark side of the moon.

Do you have a vitamin routine? There’s a bottle of Dr. Joseph Mercola’s liposomal C sitting on my desk. A doctor client of mine swears by his C, not quite Linus Pauling levels, but a significant dosage nonetheless.

Dr. Mercola writes about zinc as a “Poor Man’s Coronavirus Defense,” and refers to the yeoman’s work of investigative reporter Bill Sardi. (Mercola had me hooked at Poor Man’s).

In closing, Sardi proposes imitating Zelenko’s COVID-19 protocol using natural remedies if you have symptoms of  SARS-CoV-2 infection and cannot obtain a prescription for chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine and a Z-Pak:

  • A natural antibiotic such as cinnamon extract or oil of oregano
  • Quercetin as a zinc ionophore (to enhance zinc entrance into cells)
  • Zinc, up to 30 milligrams per day
  • Vitamin B3(niacin), 25 to 50 mg per day, and selenium to further boost bioavailability of zinc

How are you holding up? Feels like we have a ways to go, doesn’t it? What’s great about being a patient, methodical investor is you get a bird’s eye view of it all.

One of the biggest hurdles for investors is giving up on an investment. Investors have sunk cost issues: They don’t sell because doing so is admitting they’re wrong. They’re too emotionally attached.

Remember, there’s nothing wrong with changing course. Will vitamin C or zinc save your life? I don’t know. I’m not a doctor; I’m your survival guy.

But sometimes changing course is just what the doctor ordered. Just ask Jerry Seinfeld. He looks pretty content to me, just driving in cars getting coffee.
