^^^we're good on T.P. for at least two weeks so I'm not concerned. I was just amazed that the entire aisle was empty.

Just got back home from my weekly grocery shopping. What a trip. Never seen anything like it. Zero toilet paper. Maybe a dozen frozen pizzas. Pasta aisle about empty. It reminded me of the pictures we more experienced folks used to see of grocery stores in the old U.S.S.R. Also stopped at a Walgreen's. Same deal there. Still plenty of vehicles out and about...so are people buying all this shit and still going about their daily lives? If so...why are they hoarding? People are dumb Stu this is why you should take a doe off your farm, remember that next year!! Kidding

If there's no meat to be had in the grocery stores (which I don't envision happening, there was plenty of fresh meat today) we're not going to go hungry

I stopped at a small town grocery store last night since the thought of fighting crowds in Rochester never appeals to me. The whole parking lot was full and there were people everywhere, but they still had everything except toilet paper. They have a ton of high school kids working there and they were stocking the shelves fast. They even had rib eye steaks on sale, but I didn't pick any up since I have a freezer full of venison. I saw one of the grocery store owners there and he was smiling ear to ear.

We had to cancel all our Mentored turkey hunts for spring, kids and adults. Hospital is changing things tomorrow, different doors will be for Well and not well patients, every patient arriving is asked questions on what ails them and if it is anything cough, sore throat or flu like symptoms they immediately get hand sanitizer and mask and will be directed to the appropriate entrance.

I’m starting to wonder if my gears are slipping. I catch myself wondering what side I’m on from post to post.
1. This is the end, we’re all gonna die. 2. Stock market is still wildly overvalued and we haven’t begun to crash. 3. This is stupid and way overhyped. 4. We’re not just gonna all get flail mowers with our profits, but we’ll be able to buy the whole damn company.
I’m trying to be mindful, but it almost seems the lunacy jumps around like a damn cat all spazzed out on the nip.

The crash has certainly begun, but who knows if it continues or starts to recover. I believe about 65% of the recovery from the housing crash occurred in a day or two of spring '09. If you weren't in the market then, you missed it. 3. I don't think so. 4. Doubtful

Hey cat-
Fear of the unkown, herd mentality and lack of unemotional rational thinking....ime...the best possible description for the vast majority of human beings. Steadfast and staying the course in proverbial rough waters. Its what seperates savoy investors from the sheep. Stay the course!!!

Steadfast and staying the course in proverbial rough waters. Its what seperates savoy investors from the sheep. Stay the course!!! Deer MNfish, Thank you for the guidance. I have weathered the situation, however, I think it's prudent to now adopt a clear coding system to convey current mood at the beginning of each comment. Here is the draft code I've come up with, and I've broken our discussion down to 4 positions. V+ = a disease comment meant to advocate calm or optomism. V- = a disease comment meant to generate alarm or despair. M+ = a market comment meant to advocate calm or optomism. M- = a market comment meant to generate alarm or despare. Everyone please feel free to code your comments while we all try to get our bearing here and make sense of it all.

M+
I ran some numbers last night. Trying to take stock of whether I've pissed away my fledgling fortune being a stubborn stock picker. I was well on my way, but managed to wiggle my gray ass out of it. If I were to ever beat the market in a direction, I'd choose in a downturn. That didn't happen.
However, after yesterday, I finally got back ahead of the market.
