Yeah, yeah I see that there is a thread in the forum that makes assholes out of otherwise OK people. Ain't going there. Here is what is happening here. Marie and I are now on a 2 month quasi lockdown. I can venture out twice per week to get perishables. I was prepared for 2 weeks, not 2 months. No non essential medical visits or labs. No gym. No restaurants. I was able to get one of the last 18 count cases of the small 3 oz hand sanitizers from Dollar Tree online so I am good there. Online pharmacy said that they were sending me an additional 2 months of BP meds ahead of schedule free. Plenty of antibacterial soap at home. Will hit up COSTCO or BJ's when they open tomorrow to fil in.
The markets suck. I am down 8% from the recent highs. I am saved from greater losses by diversification and having moved some stuff out of equities and into income producing stuff. Sadly I had a bond called that paid a nice dividend. Nothing pays worth a crap now. At least that gives me some cash reserves in case of need and once we know the extent of the carnage gives me the opportunity to buy. The financial and energy sectors are what has killed me.
How are y'all doing? Everyone up to date on vaccines? Got supplies?
