Normally I try to not get too caught up in matters of timing...but when the floor is reached (you'll know it is past because it's when the schmoes start going back in) the bargain buying is over.

  It isn't a loss till you sell it. At this point all you can do is sit tight.

I see nothing.  I hear nothing...   ::unknowncomic::

In for the long term.  In fact, I will buy back into my bond fund with the other half of my retirement, today.  That's come back down from it's runup.  So I did lock in the profits from that.

And when this crap passes, it will all skyrocket up so fact, you won't even have a chance to jump on the train.

ETA - I find it ironic that priming the pump is viewed as positive for the bond market, but liquidity isn't the only issue...piling on more debt and interest on that debt to me seems to cancel out any gains and actually make your downstream viability more precarious...a better move would be actual (and clean of pork and statist BS!) stimulus aimed at the productive individuals and viable businesses that are the real engine of prosperity!

And in a mix I like certain individual energy-related outfits, industrial products and a few biotech outfits led the Friday pop.  And as is relatively customary the recent insider buying as balanced out with sellers needing a cash infusion (no doubt near the closing bell)...and the digital outfits seemed to enjoy a rebound, which makes sense but I wonder if people know an online order could still potentially carry Corona risk if an infected person handles it and if it is viable on surfaces for very long which I do not think we've heard a definitive answer on that I am aware of.  Financials rebounded well too.  In bonds shorter is safer.  Oh and the buying opportunity for gold & silver is still open, though I am uncertain the duration...more bad news on the broader front could extend it.

Yup, all in cahoots, demoscat pols, demoscat media, demoscat crony-capitalists...demoscat activists. 

See my post here on the demoscat sh*t-show Walz presser - http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php/topic,17562.new.html#new

On a happier note...finally got through on APMEX (their site was getting HAMMERED and supplies in a lot of stuff just gone) and got me another 100oz's of silver.

Grocery stores a joke, all TP, Kleenex & paper towels gone, I got some of that left...I bought meat - steaks, bacon, brats.  I did get a couple cases of beer too, but that is only an extra case over my normal purchase, but lines were forming there too and most getting wine and liquor and I got a lot of that already.  Gotta enjoy the demoscat Coronapocalype in style, dontchya know?!

Yeah, and I typically top the car off when I hit 1/2...changing that to 3/4 just to be sure...better safe than a victim of ignorance.   ::thumbsup::

I keep 30 gallons of gas in 5-gallon cans. I rotate stock to keep it fresh and usually cheat and let it get low in the summertime. It's for the generator but I also use it for all the gas powered tools. Thanks for the reminder to top everything off!

If there's one thing there's not a shortage of is gas.  And that will only get worse as more people stay/work at home.  $1.59 in my neck of the woods, now.

Went to Super Target on Sunday morning.  TP/tissue pretty much cleaned out as well as hand sanitizer.  And bread.  Not a loaf to be had.  Frozen veggies to some extent, but they were in the process of getting restocked.  Will do a Costco run tomorrow morning.  Hope they have TP as I'm getting low.  If not, I've heard places like Hy-Vee and Fareway are always stocked.  Just more expensive.
