    Absolutely NOT all in with buying. Since it's impossible to predict the market, I use a buy a little at a time strategy. Not dollar cost averaging, but buying into dips over the long term.

    @Rim you are experiencing what most of us have gone through and many will go through multiple times. I recommend you celebrate this as a sign that you are truly committed to the Fastlane. Imagine what fascinating things you'll learn on this journey and what a beautiful sight when you see that...

    Looks like the market is taking it in the shorts again. I'm terribly unsophisticated wrt trading, consider myself an investor as opposed to trader. So this is a buying opportunity for me. Anyone else? I really do need to get smarter on options.

    I've been surprised by the number of over 40 associates of mine who are saying there's nothing to this. Worse yet, some of them have relatively large YouTube followings and they continue to spout misinformation and personal opinions as if facts. They are my "associates" by virtue of an...

    I'd call that an understatement in your situation. I'd say try to remain calm, but that would be a stupid gesture. Is "hang in there" any better? There is one small piece of advice I can provide wrt your dog. I'm a dog person and understand they aren't just a pet but part of the family...

    It is interesting. I don't consider myself a "prepper" but I do believe in being prepared - yes, combination of Boy Scout and Navy training - so I pay attention to what's going on around me (Situational Awareness) and act accordingly. A couple weeks ago, I bought extra TP and cleaning...

    To be perfectly honest - I have no idea what to do next :( I'm making some hand drawings and researching for existing products. I have an engineering degree, so have some idea of how to hand draw this. Beyond that, I'm all ears on next steps.

    Makes perfectly good sense that climate change is taking a backseat to C0VlD-19. C0VlD-19 is a more immediate risk unfolding much faster than climate change. It is in our real-time here and now. People are getting sick and dying right now. On the other hand, climate change remains a huge...

    Perfect example of how not having enough test capability is creating confusion and risks increase exposure. They didn't test this person because of their age and health. Therefore this person doesn't know if they're spreading COVID or just dealing with influenza or a cold. Some people would...

    Fortunately, you won't need the troops. When a country closes it's boarders and restricts or eliminates travel the planes can't land and therefore won't fly internationally. Even private planes must get country clearance before they enter a nation's airspace and land at it's airports...

    Just came back from a trip to Walmart, Publix and PETCO (don't forget your pets' needs) to stock up to 30 day supply. As noted in an earlier comment - we had a real hard time in the canned veg aisle. However, the chef figured things out. Why the run on flour, sugar and baking items? Maybe...

    My wife and I were wondering the same thing. It's very hard with a country like Russia to know what's going on and what's the truth. No conspiracy theory, just the reality that their government has very tight control over their media. Like with China, we may never fully understand the truth...

    Wife and I have made some adjustments but nothing extreme as yet. We weren't huge social animals anyway, so no major changes required there. We are cleaning common surfaces more, but since we don't have much company in the house it seems like over kill. I did finally clean the driver and...

    I can't say I've been ostracized - they're all happy to take my money - but, like you, I just don't fit. Makes me wish we had a viable third party in the U.S. Could a centrist party be successful if some wealthy folks got behind it?

    David - really enjoyed your presentation at the Summit and until recently was not planning on getting into the invention world. However, I was just struck with one of those - holy crap why didn't I think of this sooner moments. I'm working on a mechanical device and will need someone to create...

    Also, having now read a few more takes on this article, a lot of people don't realize that it's not as inexpensive for the retail arbitrage person to ship a product to them. Even a good arbitrager can't compete with Walmart on logistics costs. I deal with this all the time on eBay - the...
