Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part L With casinos slowly reopening (sorry, most buffets are still closed), it looks like gamblers found a home with Nasdaq. While the world, as we know, has basically come to an end, the tech-laden Nasdaq is up a couple percent year-to-date. Welcome to Planet Hollywood. One is reminded of the dot.com bust especially when Shopify), a Canadian tech company, trades at a larger market cap than Royal Bank of Canada. Pop quiz: One was founded in 2004, the other in the 1800s. Recently, I was asked about robo-advisors: You set-up an account with a low … [Read more...]

HUGE IMPLICATIONS: Market Sell OFF Sends a Message
The implications are HUGE from yesterday’s stock market sell-off. If you live in or around Boston or Newport, RI, this is ground zero right now for Covid-19, thanks to everyone seeming to have the Omicron sniffles. This is the last gasp for power. You can feel the surge to lock things down, BIG TIME. Pay attention to what I’m telling you. Because if you want to dine at the premier dining establishments, you better have your Vax card because they no longer accept just American Express. It’s “show me your papers” or “no soup for you.” And if you don’t like it. Too bad. No problem. They’ll … [Read more...]
Your Poor Man’s Coronavirus Defense
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 … [Read more...]
“They Stick a Q-Tip So Far Up Your Nose, You Can See it Through Your Eye”
“They stick a Q-tip up your nose so far, you can see it through your eye,” I thought, as a friend described what it was like to watch his daughter squirm in pain and holding her in place as the doctor performed a COVID-19 test. No thanks. But Rhode Island requires school children showing two signs of COVID-19, which we all have when we get a cold, must be sent home. They can return with either a doctor’s note saying in writing he doesn’t believe a test for COVID-19 is necessary, or take the traumatizing test and wait at home for the results. Both options stink, and are disruptive to say the … [Read more...]
CEO Warning: Alternative to Mandatory Vaccines?
Two experts I rely upon for the truth are Dr. Joseph Mercola and health guru, “The People’s Chemist,” Shane Ellison, M.S., author of Over the Counter Natural Cures. You’re familiar with both from here, here, here, and here. Now they may not agree on vitamin D supplementation (Shane doesn’t like it), but, when it comes to protecting your family from COVID-19, both recommend building up your immune system naturally. In this piece, Shane tools on the billionaire vaccination pushers who want to cure the world with a shot rather than show the benefits of, for example, clean water, washing … [Read more...]
Welcome to Phase 3 in Rhode Island: Bring Your Permission Slip
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part LXII Welcome to Phase 3 in Rhode Island, where front-page news is “Weddings, Movies, Music (are) on with Masks,” and “A New World: Should the Columbus Statue in Newport be Removed?” Talk about pressing matters. You’re in Rhode Island now, where the governor has gone wild. That’s right, Gov. Gina Raimondo says let them eat cake! But, no weddings over 50 people indoors, and only up to 100 if outdoors. But, get this, if some people scheduled large weddings pre-pandemic, exceptions will be made if the state Department of Business Regulation is consulted. … [Read more...]
Life Changes Fast: Need a Boost? Here’s Why I Did
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part LXI You know, as Your Survival Guy, I'm the guy who gets into tough situations only to discover how ill-prepared I am. You know, like when my backyard almost burned down when a tree landed on telephone wires, breaking the pole at the top, sending the distribution transformer, aka "pole pig" (filled with coils and oil ) crashing to the ground right next to one of our prehistoric trees about the size of King Kong that was ready to burn like the torch on the Statue of Liberty. As the fire department descended upon our property, Your Survival Guy quickly … [Read more...]
What Crisis is the Stock Market Living In? And You?
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part LX You really need to follow the bouncing ball in this time of crisis. Looking at the way stocks are trading, you have to wonder: what crisis is the stock market living in? Seems to me like no one has a clue. You and I know there’s a crisis. Go downtown and look around. How many businesses are struggling or will never be the same? Who do we have to thank for this? China. The China virus traveled to the U.S. via Europe, and now Europe wants to keep us out—yet is opening flights from China. You really can’t make this stuff up. No one has a … [Read more...]
Blue State Governors Punish Working Class with Severe Lockdowns
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part LIX Severe lockdowns in blue states are driving unemployment to Depression Era levels, and devastating the finances of working-class residents. Before their governors went wild with lockdowns, these same workers had been enjoying their best economy in decades. The Journal reports on the skyrocketing unemployment in blue states: The Labor Department on Friday reported jobless rates in May for the 50 states, and the news is the greater than usual variation. Some state economies are recovering much faster than others, and the worst performing tend to be … [Read more...]
Close to One-Third of Investors Over 65 Moved to Cash
Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part LVIII How are you doing this morning? Hopefully, you’re not too shell shocked. If you are, then you’re not alone. A study by Fidelity Investments finds that close to one-third of investors over the age of 65 sold their stocks during the coronavirus meltdown reports The WSJ. Like a broken record, money managers tsk, tsk, tsk the sellers saying “hold your stocks for the long-term.” Well, that’s fine and good if you’re in your thirties, but a bit more difficult when you’re over 65. A prospective client wants to consolidate her assets with us mainly … [Read more...]
