you're funny, thanks Big C, but as we already know our pathetic / relentless / paid (?) vacc deniers don't care, gonna keep on doin' their hurtful schtick.

Perhaps hard to believe, but my alcohol intake and use of "edibles" is only a small fraction of what one might guess, based on some of my posts.

Rogue RFK Jr claims many vaccines weren't properly tested and later monitored after the fact.

Some allege an interesting control group are the Amish who don't vaccinate and their children have almost no autism.

There appear to be some low-hanging fruit like food dyes.

Shhhh, I own some MRNA shares. Remnants from selling puts/calls during its hay day.

I've been short MRNA off and on a good part of the way down but not recently. Some very well-informed think it's a zero. Recent failed trial in melanoma which is a real shame. If there was one application for the technology, one would hope it would be cancer.

I know the term but not the mechanics of shorting. Is buying puts similar?

Zippergate said:

It's the opposite of buying. You borrow shares, sell them and then buy back later. If the price is lower at that time, you have a profit. High risk strategy in a raging bull market like we've had since risk is theoretically unlimited. Can't imagine being short NVDA.

Thank you. I owned NVDA but at the risk of turning this thread into a stock diatribe I'll spare everyone the details of my mess up. I've been a buy and hold indexer my whole life and got a bit derailed with selling puts and calls for awhile. I don't really know what I am doing there but NVDA was 'fun'.

A long, long, time ago when I was young and working in the back office of a brokerage firm we had a qualcomm leap come due that an investor had shorted. The closeout was brought to me to confirm the numbers because this small trade had resulted in the investor losing millions of dollars. I ran the numbers multiple times and the numbers were correct. I called the broker who had the relationship directly (which we normally didn't do) to make sure he was aware of this uncomfortable conversation he was going to have to have with a client. Fortunately they were fully aware, as they should be.

That's an interesting story. I'm not this brave with my investments. I do own a fair amount of SOFI which is heavily shorted. I'm hoping SOFI continues to post good quarters that eventually cause a similar amount of pain for the shorts.

This article directly addresses all the problems with the PRINCIPLE trial you highlighted. Note the comparison with Merck's patented and expensive drug, Molnupiravir. Ivermectin does not even need approval as it's been approved for decades for other indications making it legal to proscribe off-label and it has a better safety profile than Tylenol. So why did the medical establishment need to go scorched earth on it? (see the recent court case where the FCA/CDC lost)

Contrast this with Molnupiravir, a novel drug that had not been proved and was known to be mutagenic (causes RNA damage which produces viral mutations and possibly DNA damage as well). Yet it was approved by the FDA based on marginal evidence and Merck signed a billion dollar contract with the US government. Molnupiravir subsequently proved to be a complete commercial failure because it doesn't work.

If you have an article which rebuts the specific criticisms identified by Dr. Kory, that would advance our discussion.

Also Remdesivir is another new expensive big pharma (Gilead) IV treatment covid drug that has been sped through and was proven to be unsafe (kidneys) and ineffective.

Japan is introducing the so-called Replicon vaccine next month. It has been approved there and will be pushed out on the Japanese populace.

The Replicon vaccine is self-amplifying: it causes cells to produce replicase proteins that in turn produce the mRNA proteins which lead to the production of spike protein. Result? Lots and lots of spike protein, and perhaps many other franken-proteins that can't be controlled.

This article describes the potential dangers with this new technology. What's hard to understand is why they are rushing this technology to market. The safety studies are extremely limited and, of course, there is zero long-term safety data. Back in the Covid era, the rush to get vaccines on the market and bypass the normal testing process was at least understandable; there was a pandemic and people were dying. But why the need to rush these highly experimental, risky products to market now? Whatever happened to "do no harm"? What happened to the precautionary principle?

https://open.substack.com/pub/merylnass/p/james-corbett-disentangles-the-new?r=aiop6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Why don't we do a test... and rush out Vitamin C & D, Zinc, and Ivermectin - all clinically proven safe - and track the results?

A friend asked his doctor for an Ivermectin script last year, and he refused him. So he went elsewhere for it.

Frightening.

In the history of our country you could not have done better (average investor) than continually dollar cost average into an S&P 500 fund. Congratulations. Right now, due to selling options the past few years (and a few other not so smart investments) I've got too much stupid stuff and not enough S&P 500 stuff. The good news is that I've got a ton of investable money in vanguard's mm fund and ibonds. I'm sort of waiting for the market to not be at all time highs before I put a lot of it back in. Live and learn.
