  2. we may just be shuffling the deck faster then we can count the cards now? Economic expansions are associated with increasing mortality. Suggested pathways to explain this deceleration or even reversal of the secular decline in mortality during economic expansions include both material and psychosocial effects of the economic upturns: expansion of traffic and industrial activity directly raising injury-related mortality, decreased immunity levels (owing to rising stress and reduction of sleep time, social interaction and social support), and increased consumption of tobacco, alcohol and saturated fats.
  3. How to cook crow quick and dirty recipe Cook in boiling salt water for 10 minutes. Alternately put corn (3 pieces), green peppers (3 pieces) and cherry tomatoes (3) along with 4 pieces of crow meat on each skewer. Use 1 mushroom to top each skewer. Brush with melted butter and place on preheated grill for about 4 minutes.

  9. I am Citating Seth Godin's Blog release this early Am as very relevant to this current topic I think! Public Health [For members of the public, staying at home and sheltering in place isn’t selfish, it’s generous. Social distancing helps keep the virus from infecting others at the same time that it flattens the curve of the spread of the pandemic, giving health facilities a chance to provide care over time.] Public health is efficient, a culture changer and a commitment. It’s not simply a more expensive version of private health. When the water supply is reliable, the air is clean and the public health system is working well, we hardly notice it. Nutrition, access to healthcare and the safety of transport are easy to take for granted. When we hire the government to be responsible for public health, we give up small amounts of independence and money. But it creates enormous benefits, worth far more than they cost. First, it’s cheaper and more reliable for a few trained engineers to test and maintain the water etc. than it is for each person who consumes it to do so. Second, health, like the weather, is something that people bring up in conversation but rarely do anything about. By centralizing action, we make it more likely that something actually gets done. Third, individual humans are bad at long-term thinking. Patient systems often outperform individual actions when it comes to public health. Often, it’s only coordinated action that can help the entire community. And coordinated action rarely happens without intentional coordination. Don’t do it because you finally got around to it. Don’t do it because it is in your short-term interest. Do it because we all need it done. It’s difficult to overinvest in building and running competent public health systems and management. And sometimes we don’t realize how important the system is until we see how unprepared we are. [Which is why, alas, today is a good day to stay home]. Thank you to every public health worker and medical professional who is on the front lines right now. We’re grateful for a lifetime of sacrifices and commitment. “If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, “For I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.” David Epstein/ Malcolm Gladwell Evolution is unforgiving with maladaptive mutations, but it allows imperfection all the time, and the slightest advantage is enough to keep participants in the competition. In the Miocene of Spain, knives were out for the prey, and the predator race went on. Sincerely; Steve Leach
  10. zarley; I gave some careful thought to you putting your interpretation to my posting a few selected words. "No Sarcasm was not implied whatsoever" I just meant to start the above thread and from the responses I and I a Cheers.
  11. S/P500 Market Top today. I just had to copy and paste these words of wisdom from over at Berkshire TMF board. Since we just had a fresh all time high today, there is no *pressing* worry. Probably. Anyone thinking of sidling quietly towards the exits before the party ends can probably do it gradually. Most parties end pretty slowly at first as people drift out one by one. It's the late-night drunks who stay too long that can stampede. Jim

  16. I never understood why there was a second thread. Always made more sense to me to have all transactions consolidated into a single thread as opposed to having multiple places for people to express their overall investment views and transactions. Isn't a sale just a "buying" cash? This thread was first. It makes sense to consolidate. I'll keep posting here ;) +1 ; Especially when one is talking about options contracts Just saying ;)
