@johnN: If it's not too much trouble, perhaps you should try reading the contents of the original post at the top of this thread before making more foolish comments. I'm sorry for the need to be s…
@Anna- I'm sorry , but dealing with this issue would require some degree of concern on the part of your federal government for the day-to-day problems of the general population. Unfortunately, by voting for the present administration the general pop…
For sure. If several folks think that a link is important, then what's the harm in multiple resources? There was only one old guy who really got upset by multiple links anyway, and he's no longer present. He felt that he "owned" any link that he pos…
"I now see, my link has already been posted while this write was delayed in draft mode. None the less, this will stay here."
Relax. We no longer need to tremble in fear if we post a duplicate link. That whole business was so damned silly anyway.

Part 2:
What about testing to know if someone has COVID-19? Bottom line, there is not enough testing capacity to be broadly useful. Here’s why.
■ Currently, there is no way to determine what a person has other than a PCR test. No other test c…

I've just received all of this information via email from a close personal friend. He is retired, previously held the position of Chief of Medicine at one of our San Francisco hospitals, and specialized in pulmonary medicine.
I realize that much of…
Yes, a whole new ballgame. It isn't going to be pretty. Sometimes I recently feel as if I've stepped through the mirror into one of those science fiction end-of-the-world as we know it stories.
Buying or selling using the Schwab platform there is no possibility of incurring a "surprise" charge. The information and confirmation steps are crystal clear.
Columbo's Car: It was a Rare (and Ratty) 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet
Columbo's car, which just happens to be a rare, and really beat-up, 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet—a rare car even back when the series was made. Only 2,030 were made globally over a fi…
@hawkmountain- Super to see that you're still with us! Always great to see folks from "the old days".

As noted elsewhere on MFO I've used the downturn to buy a small amount of ASML stock. 25@246 followed by another 25@240. Currently @246, but who knows what's next?
@Catch22- Here's a short version of a current WSJ article which seems to be reflecting some of your concerns.
Funding strains in the banking system worsened slightly Friday despite the New York Federal Reserve’s offer to inject $1.5 trillion of ex…
As mentioned in other threads on MFO I'm now the proud owned of 50 shares of ASML. Anyone here who has an interest in that company should please take note and probably sell immediately.
Nothing there but a recorded message since just before the 2016 elections: "We're sorry, but the God that you have reached is out of srvice at this time". "Were sorry,...
@Mark- Well, trying to make the seller absorb the entire amount may put his back up for no sale. If he's smart he'll also know the pressure on you re the mortgage approval, and try to pressure you that way. Try split 50/50 and hope for the best.
@catch22- @davidmoran just posted a link to a current NYT article. Seems that you're not the only one wondering what's happening. Here's an excerpt:
