BeardedTaco : Its frankly shocking and sad that none of these people understand why record numbers of people are quitting their jobs... it's not because of the pandemic. it's not because of childcare. it's because of the systematic reconsolidation of wealth to the top 1%.
For example, The US FED has been injecting a min of $120 Billion per month since September 2019... as in 6 months before the "COVID Crash". Despite all of the economic data and common f-ing sense suggesting that QE and helicopter money would not solve a health crisis. especially when the president at the time was more concerned with spray tanning himself to look like an umpa-lumpa than prevent the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and setting in motion a day of insurrection than will be, unfavorably, in American History books in coming generations.... but I digress... Despite the FED knowing that they were poking the slumbering bear of inflation, they ceased the opportunity to further stack money in the their wealthy friends pockets.
the one thing that they didn't consider was that young people, having bleak prospects and nothing to lose, would use this helicopter money to free themselves from the slavery that is being the man's bitch for nothing.
I could go on, bit no wants to hear my ramblings.
Cheers to my fellow mid 30s dudes that have retired or have the self awareness and self worth to have healthy work life balance. I'm 37 and "retired" 2 years ago. I say retired in quotes because I definitely work harder at trading that I did at chemistry, but I enjoy it so much more.

BeardedTaco : There are 2 things happening here that are both true. 1st, people should be cautious of the CCP because they don't care who they hurt to get what they want. 2nd, there are short sellers and other market participants that will use the reasonable fear of the unpredictable and destructive CCP to cause panic.
I would be careful how much you make light of the ignorant or revel in their suffering lest you find yourself without compassion in your time of trial.

BeardedTaco : That has been my take away as well.

BeardedTaco : what does CB mean?

BeardedTaco : where is DIDI now? I'm over having anything to do with anything having to do with the CCP.

BeardedTaco : what are SG and MY?

BeardedTaco : so, it is short seller action then?

BeardedTaco : are you referring to the China bs?

BeardedTaco : I don't think this has a catalyst... so, whales or shorters are my guess until I see some news.

BeardedTaco : ...however, I would pick up some at a discount before I start bringing attention to it.
