Rants and Stupid shit in Orange County

Incognito.

You are very well-informed about the sex as well as the stock market. You gave me some very good ideas here.

There were lots of dead cat bounces in the market in March. With the tanking global economy. Lots of them will drop dead then bounce again.

I use Fidelity for a number of accounts. Their web site has lots of market and stock info plus the ease to move from stock into funds when I am not playing.

Glad to hear from you. Please give the bros headsups with any worthwhile news about the market moves.

[QUOTE=Incognito22;4731039]If you are trying to game sticks for fast money, Google 'dead cat bounce' a lot of dead cats are bouncing right now.

If you are in it for the long haul. Look into automated diversified accounts like Schwab intelligent portfolios, especially if you have over 50 k (non-retitement) to invest. Schwab will do automatic tax loss harvesting.

Google, tax loss harvesting. Basically if a stock you own goes down in value, and you sell it following specific rules you can claim up to $3,000 a year in tax deductions, you can roll over anything over $3 k a year into future years. Better still it hides your gains when you pull money out. Last year I pulled a big chunk out for a large purchase, and of course the market has been doing great for 2+years so I expected to get hammered on capital gains. Thanks to tax loss harvesting the 30 k+ profit I had earned on that money was hidden from the IRS, because the shares had been bought and sold every time the market dipped, then recovered I actually only had to pay taxes on 3 k of those market gains.

My golden rule, find out how the billionaire class cheats, then copy them.

Personally I have pulled my non-retirement out of the market; and into the highest interest savings I could find. Remember even if you are only earning 1. 5%. With the market down 20%. You are actually up 21.5%.

I am expecting huge political and market instability with the next election, and I have zero confidence our Dotard in chief could lead us out of a well lit downhilll 100' tunnel.[/QUOTE]

Instead of waiting two or three years for CCL or BA to recover, if at all in CCL case, go with something you know and is in demand even in this environment. NFLX. Worldwide demand. Earnings 4/21. Keep turning out content like Tiger King to keep the masses happy. If its too pricey for you look into the options market.

[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;4730255]I am looking for signs that the stock market has bottomed out to buy some stock.

The Market Watch site theorizes that the bottom is near when the major indexes move up and close at or near the top of the day's range 4 days in a row. Sounds pretty logical to me.

A wingman mentioned buying Carnival stock after the Gran Princess was repeatedly denied docking in Asia, and the stock was tanking, lost 70%. Like Boeing, CCL went down went down very low but their balance sheets are shit. We are looking at a very tough economic time in the next few years. Pleasure stocks like CCL may go bankrupt; Boeing is a critical national asset, government would never let it go bankrupt. But its balance sheet is such shit now that it would have to load down with a lot of debts to survive, then needs 5 to 7 years to dig itself out of its mess. AVOCO, the plane leasing co in Ireland, today just canceled order for 70 737 MAX worth $11 billions. Damn. Boeing engineers and managers really fucked up the company by Jerry rigging the 737 MAX.

There is not much sex and girls to talk about in this lock down time. So it would be nice to hear any sexy ideas how to make money.[/QUOTE]

NETFLIX is in the leisure industry. In a bad economy, people will cancel it.

It has poor growth and very poor balance sheet. Analysts rank it very bearish.

Be careful re tax loss harvesting; pretty sure if you sell then buy the SAME stock within a 30-day period, it's considered a "wash" sale or transaction that does not qualify for a change in basis. So you need to buy DIFFERENT beat down stocks, but you're probably rebalancing your portfolio anyway. You can buy some similar stock, and buy back your original after the period while harvesting another stock. Not sure if it's "30" days or a different period but know it's a rule. If you use a licensed broker they'll know, if DIY you should Google tax was sales to see how it applies in your situation.

Stocks keep going up in the last 4 days. Analysts said the volume is mostly small-time individual investors / traders who are usually wrong.

S&P 500 went up about 15% last 4 days but volumes kept decreasing to very low. It's running out of breath and has to come down to another bottom.

The large volume sell off at the end of March was done by program traders.

The market rise lately was done in small volumes, likely short squeeze and small time trader feeling bullish. Most stocks are down today.

I've recently read in the San Gabriel section and elsewhere on Orange County threads the desperation not only for sex but for haircuts. In that vein, I noticed this morning that the barber shop on the Orange Circle in Orange, southwest corner, was open, strange to say.

Lift Her Up.

El Chapo's daughter, Mexican cartels distribute coronavirus aid packages.

By Vincent Barone April 17,2020.

12:24 am.

Employees of the clothing brand "El Chapo 701", fill boxes with products to be handed out to elderly people as part of a campaign to help cash-strapped elderly people.

"Chapo's provisions" to the rescue.

A daughter of the notorious drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and Mexican cartels are distributing coronavirus aid packages as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases begin to soar in the country.

Alejandrina Guzman is using her company, El Chapo 701, to pack and deliver care boxes full of food, masks, hand soaps and other supplies, dubbed Chapo's provisions, around Guadalajara.

The parcels are labeled with El Chapo's image — and so are the medical-style facemasks the company's employees wear as they pack and deliver the goods.

The company, which Guzman uses to legally sell clothing and liquor bearing the drug lord's likeness, has been posting photo and video updates on production and deliveries on its Facebook page.

"We are working and contributing. A great pleasure to visit your homes and give you these Chapo handouts," said a post on the company's Facebook page showing Alejandrina, wearing a black facemask with Chapo's face, handing out parcels.

The inspiration for the brand name El Chapo 701 stems from a 2009 Forbes listing that ranked him the 701st richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.

Mexico his heading into a difficult, deep recession with 486 coronavirus deaths reported along with 6,300 confirmed cases — up from roughly 1,200 cases at the beginning of the month.

As cases mount, infamously violent Mexican cartels have joined in the aid efforts, posting their own photos to social media showing gang members distributing relief. The cartels are known to work to ingratiate themselves with the poor residents living where they base their bloody operations.

Guzman is serving time in a Colorado 'Supermax' prison.

One of my wingmen is an attorney who litigates medical malpractice and personal injuries cases. He seems to have a good grasp of medical issues.

He said CoVid-19 has mutated into more than 30 mutations so far, and will mutate into a very large number. It's impossible to vaccinate against all hundreds or thousands of mutations of this virus. He argues that eventually every one in the world will be infected sooner or later. There are no cures for the virus, only treating symptoms and assisting them with ventilators.

He said government social distance enforcement only aim to flatten out the infection and death curves, pushing infection and death incidents out to the future, may be indefinitely, just so that hospitals don't run out of beds and doctors. US death rate is 55.383 over 330 mil population or about 1 in 6,000 to date. There will be more death in May and death rate will be higher.

China claims 4,642 death to date with a population of 1. 52 bil or 1 death per 327,000, 50 times lower than US, and much much lower than Italy, Spain, France, WTF? This figure is not credible, even ridiculous, unless China is full of supermen and superwomen hehe.

I have been going to stores, food, markets, banks ect a few times every week since the lock down. Have not got infected yet. Even if I get infected I belong to the 5,999 population who will not die. So if La Zona opens back up, a few trips to party with the chicas won't infect or kill anyone. The chicas may even have anti bodies they can donate via DFKs.

Probability of contracting and dying with this virus is very low. Perhaps we should not be so scared. My wingman is a very careful guy. So I will wait for him.

Southeast Asia, you can still monger there. Just need to quarantine for 14 days first.

It's not worth staying in quarantine 14 days to screw a few girls.

Will have to wait until the virus is completely eradicated, if ever. CoVid-19 seems far more infectious than the SARS virus. It may take months or years.

CoVid-19 is destroying liberty and livelihoods of billion people and causing far more wide-spread and long-lasting damages all over the world than terrorists.

Disposable N95 drops to $2 each retail shipping from China right now. They are good for a day if nothing happens to it. You can reduce the numbers by cycling between a few for any virus to "die" out in a few days, or cook them in the oven in the lowest setting for half hr. Sanitation supplies should cost less now that people know that lots of them are rip-offs and you can easily make it yourself. Best is spraying hydrogen peroxide diluted down to 0. 5%. In a salon setting, you can leave it for some time and wipe dry. You need alcohol for fast drying that still costs a lot right now. But I don't see the need if you have soap and water next to you.

And from my research on low-cost disinfection, I'm moving over to dissolved ozone, a lot better than hydrogen peroxide. An ozone generator cost less than $20 from China. It's small and consumes little electricity. You can run it outside windows or doors and it will be perfectly safe. The ozonated water cost next to nothing and can be more potent than H2 O2 if you choose to, or dilute it further. The best is that the half-life is 15 minutes! So you don't need to worry about the exact concentration. If you leave it for a while it will just be harmless disinfected water. In contrast, hydrogen peroxide will still burn your skin for the first-aid concentration of 3% until it's dry and gone. Indeed, I'm going back to using carpets in my home instead of wooden floors.

The cost will be that you can only take a lot fewer customers, separating them 6 ft apart. But during the times that I take my girls there, they already have at least a few ft between seats. Women go there to relax and enjoy nicer things in life. A big reclining crouch that you can comfortably stretch your legs will be beyond 6 ft, plus space for the technician to move around and for their gears. Even the side by side ones has a few ft between customers so the techs can work easily and customers don't smell each other's toes.

Airflow is a problem as everybody is in the same space. The only thing you can do is to increase the air extraction. But that could be a major investment for some. Say in malls, you are happy if the A / C works in summer, blowing cool air into the shops. Anything else needs major investment by the landlords. But that's a problem for every shop.
