Well that's the thing - what if the ACTUAL financial position of the company is so terrible that any competent auditor would expect them to go out of business within a year? How are we supposed to know if the COO was cooking the books? My logic is that unless more bad news comes out by tomorrow it'll bounce from people seeing the 80% drop and rushing to buy. And if it goes under within a year, well I'm planning to sell tomorrow. As for their actual business, if their business is running coffeehouses in China their revenue for at least the first half of 2020 is going to be down like......90%. No one's going to a coffeehouse right now. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

Or are you arguing that he opened up the idea that it was okay for people to vote for Trump (in which case I agree)? Yes! Trump took about half of Bernie's platform and ran with it. He said the other half was socialism and he didn't support that. So Trump was able to run both to the right and to the left of Hillary, and in a time in which the center is smaller than ever, that strategy worked. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

| red sox 777 04/01/20 12:33:49 PM #286 | I think that was pretty obvious for a while now. There is some possibility that the numbers coming out of Hubei are relatively accurate and show the efficiency of China in imposing extreme quarantining and deploying resources to build hospitals but the numbers for the rest of China are impossibly low. I think an easy way to do it would be to simply diagnose coronavirus cases as flu, which is the same thing China has accused the US of doing. So it would make sense that that's what they would come up with as an accusation, if they're doing it themselves. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

At some point as a society we have to take risks. For instance, suppose we pursued the extreme solution of placing everyone in isolation cells for their whole lives. No one gets sick from a transmittable disease again, but the whole population starves when we run out of food. This is the kind of thing the free market is good for deciding. If you ask a government official to decide how many dollars are worth one life, obviously that official is in no position to decide that. So you let people decide themselves. Do they want to isolate themselves at home forever to escape the flu? Isolate themselves only in the winter? Get a flu vaccine? And the free market reaches a solution that lets each person choose their own risk exposure, on all fronts. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
