:ohhh: Drop some links, breh. We inherited a house full of vintage, rusty (but beautiful) tools and toolboxes.

I'm only subscribed to like three people in the field, the Osiris of this shyt, KipKay, The Great Idea (Russian cat fixing shyt in an old school tracksuit :mjlol:) & The Small Workshop. For some reason, TSW doesn't post as much anymore. :( I made my first pimp dollar with KipKay. He doesn't just do restorations but has content on about everything a geek like me likes.

When I have something specific that I need info on, I just type in the "name of the item" + restoration and go from there. Surprisingly, I've used a little social engineering and contacted channel creators for a question on an item not found on YT and they turn around create a video on my questioned item for free.

However, I'm showing my age here. I would have never gained an interested in this stuff if not for PBS and all those shows from my childhood like Roy Underwood doing his thing on the classic, The Woodwright's Shop, with all of his old school, hand powered tools. I grew up on that guy and Bob Vila from This Old House.

how long you wiating

I honestly don't know. It's not a time frame. Just waiting for good news (which may not come anytime soon). There will be more testing kits so the numbers will go up. Hopefully it can be contained. I could have made money buying the VIX or VXX (The stock price doubled since Monday last week.) I got a list of monthly dividend stock I would like to buy for the long term. I may wait until the next election, and buy options in the mean time.

Market will be up today. Long term though? Don't be optimistic. Pandemics don't disappear after a few weeks. We're basically where Wuhan was in early January in terms of early onset cases, inadequate testing, etc. Obviously we have far more capability than China, but the point is that in a month or so this thing is going to still be raging. This is going to be an issue for the rest of the year, and the market will react to businesses suffering.

Also understand it isn't just the virus moving the market. Some of Trump's policies are catching up with the market. That's one. It just wasn't going to happen immediately. A lot of people underestimate the great economy Obama left this dude. Or they simply refuse to give Obama credit for anything.:mjpls: Also the market is overvalued. A lot of people hate to hear that or say it's impossible.:bryan:

And yet even with all this in play I wasn't expecting that shyt yesterday. Day traders are going to get a boost today. Futures nice and green. But they better know when to hold :ahh: and when to fold.:scusthov:

yup. Trumps policies were not strong long term. They were short term and people didn’t understand that. The guy is a bloody retarded snake. Obama was the last great president and trump looking desperate and pathetic trying to tarnish his legacy.

Trump will go down in history as arguably the worst president in American history. That name is going to be met with disgust when it’s mentioned. That whole family gonna have to go into hiding or move to Alabama. Hope he goes to prison and his kids are ruined...except the young one, he’s innocent.
