    Covid is having a global effect. Factories have shut down all over Asia, chips are in short supply, shortage of truck drivers in the US, consumer goods will be in short supply for a long while.
    Question to the investment gurus here: How can I make money from this chaos? I’m considering shipping companies- the per value of each ship has really shot up but the problem is there are fewer ships. What about you? Any plans?

    What family of funds are the investments in? Which has done better during the pandemic (I'm going to guess the index?)

    Market is dismal last few weeks. I'm thinking of cashing out and putting it all into a Chinchilla ranch.

    I also took the plunge last week for $75. They're doing a ton of coin burning, which tells me they are serious about actually having a plan in place.

    Bitcoin could hit a new all time high today, woohoo! Also I finally staked all my ETH (1.476 so not a huge number). I'll get 4.5% interest when the upgrade to ETH 2.0 is complete.

    I sold off some Etherium to buy more Shib. This is my fun money, after all.

    Ocugen shot up 40% after hours. WHO meeting tomorrow to hopefully approve it for EUL use.

    Of course ocugen is one of the stocks I only dabbled in. Couple hundred shares with a $3.00 average. Kicking myself for that one.

    Hertz Announced they are ordering 100,000 Teslas. That and speculation probably account for a lot of the bump. Wish my wife had not sold hers.

    Optimism is necessary to get rich, pessimism is a good way to stay rich.:)

    Shib is like the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It just goes up every day, double digits. I've doubled my money in a week. I can't wait for the bottom to drop out...

    Based on the Shib research I've done over the last few weeks people smarter than me think the ceiling is .001 or less. To me it looks like a better developed and managed Doge.
