XCR1250 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 9 minutes ago, AKIQPilot said: Don. The risks of doing this are huge. Especially at your age. Are you prepared to lose half of everything you have saved? Is there a reason you want to add this much risk to your life. You arent a millionaire. Your buddy is. He knows what he is doing and was young enough to accept the risks. You are not. You would be well advised to talk to a certified financial planner. They can explain all the reasons why this is a stupid idea for you. He (Dave) actually pays to have his money invested, $8000 4 times a year.I started investing in 1962 he started in 1961. I'm not sure what I am going to do yet, just invested $20,000 more, could do a little over $400,000 but don't think I will do anything close to that.

You and your wife live a comfortable life. You also strike me as a conservative and reasonable man with your finances. Why risk such a loss at this point? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont even know youve been exposed until its too late. X2 5 hours ago, Anler said: No the flu will kick your ass and if you have corona you are going to get quarantined. Which means you aint going to work or school. SARS and MERS are both coronavirus, if you get it you are going to be fucked up. I suggest you get it and tell us what its like. Quarantine death camp... Key is imo, if this is an engineered virus? Still tbd I guess...? Word got out from China imo that it's bad. Major players started dumping as a result.

Do you agree with Dr Drew's viewpoint that he talked about in the vid? 99% agree with him. My "We have done a lot of prep here at work for COVID-19" comment is exactly 100% sarcasm. All we have done at work as of today is put a few posters up asking generic questions like "have you traveled to an area known to have the virus". That is it. Every year we do the same prep for this type of illness and its second nature. N95 mask fitting, education on isolation for airborne and droplet precautions etc.... Do I believe the media is blowing it WAY out of proportion? YES I have seen many different types of virus's, respiratory illness, bacterial illness's and their effects on the body. I've seen what true influenza can do. The chance of influenza itself killing you is extremely very low if you are healthy. BUT if you have pre-existing conditions and you get influenza (and lots of people think the stomach bug is influenza) the morbidity rate just go up up and up. I'm not 100% sold on the "flu shot" either. I personally haven't got it in 4-5 years. I also don't push it on people at work or out of work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
