Coronavirus. Your thoughts? [Serious and Non-Serious]

Speaking of vaccines, if anyone is curious. I’ve finished the series with little to no side effects other than a sore arm for a day the first shot and maybe fatigue the second time. Hard to say cause I was awake at 3:30am for the week leading up to my second dose so I don’t know if it was the vaccine or just me being sleep deprived. It’s been like 2 weeks after that and no adverse reactions. I can only speak of my experience but I’ve not heard anyone having any issues outside currently reported side effects and nothing debilitating.

Im still gonna wait until i dont have to sign a waiver to get my shot. That way if anything happens to me my fam can sue

I hear about covid related deaths, daily... Nothing changed. The only difference is, this is the new norm and people aren't as "panicked".

@xueli Ooo when I posted that I was actually wondering how you were doing. XD My company has actually made some changes. We used to focus on EM staffing but with COVID we now have to go half and half with HM as well. It's crazy how it's changed the medical industry.

I'm taking the shot as soon as it's availible to me. I ain't got time to be worried. If I die then I'm going to haunt the shit out of @verucassault because we haven't tested our ghost hunting equipment yet :P

"I don't know why you were trying to shit on my gains, as that was not the point I was trying to make. " What I said wasn't meant as an insult. Read carefully what I posted. As everything I said was detached from emotion. What I stated was factually true. If you got offended over facts. That is your prerogative. I could have some fun with you. Give out a really harsh response. But lately, I'm feeling like being nicer. I'll methodically point out where you're wrong. While at the same time utilizing your own words against you. To summarize my original post. Up to when you made the post on Jan 20, 2021. You posted your Robinhood gains from March, 2 2018 to no later than Jan 20, 2021. I said that you've kept up pace with the SP&500. You were not outperforming the SP&500. That is not me trying to be mean or talk shit. That is simply the truth. First, I'll start off by doing a very simple calculation of the % gains of the SP&500 from March 2, 2018 to Jan 20, 2018. Why does dates? Because that is the initial date posted on your Robinhood account. To the date posted on MaiOtaku. https://i.ani.me/0291/1046/test.jpg On March 2, 2018. The SP&500 closed at 2,677.67. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/stock-market-news-for-march-2-2018-2018-03-02 https://i.ani.me/0291/6149/sp1.png On Jan 20, 2021. The SP&500 closed at 3,798.91. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/stock-market-news-for-jan-20-2021-2021-01-20 https://i.ani.me/0291/6153/sp2.png Now let's do some very simple math. What is the % gains from 2,677.67 to 3798.91? Starting point 2,677.67=100% 3798.91 - 2677.67 = 1121.24 Points gained 1121.24 = x Convert points gained to % (2677.67)/ (1121.24) = (100%)/x x = (1121.24) (100%)/ (2677.67) x= 41.87 % From March 2, 2018 to Jan 20, 2021. The SP&500 gained 41.87%. Which is close to your gain of 42.31%. Your gains are pretty much in line with the market mean. If someone started at the same time on March 2, 2018. But on an indexed S&P 500 fund. That person would have almost identical gains as you. Still don’t believe me? Anyone can go and check for themselves. Go to google. Type in SP&500. Click on the 5-year option. Click an initial date and drag it to an ending date. Google will automatically do the calculation for you. My original post shows that exact google process from March 2, 2018 to Jan 21, 2021. Albeit only a day off. It shows a gain of 43.17%. What can I say? Except that I “just wanted to correct your misleading info. I don't blame you, that chart is easy to read wrong if you don't know how to read it correctly.” https://i.ani.me/0291/2106/march2sp500.png "However, I want to respond because what you said is simply wrong. The SP&500 gain from 2018 to the end of 2020 was 23.96% https://www.mdleasing.com/djia-close.htm" https://i.ani.me/0291/6157/sp3.png I clicked on the link that you quoted for the SP&500. I found a glaring problem. You quoted gains of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Not the SP&500. The SP&500 is not the Dow Jones. Do you not know the difference between stocks indexed on the Dow Jones vs stocks indexed on the SP&500? The Dow Jones is composed of 30 stocks. While the SP&500 is composed of 500 stocks. Not to mention that the formulation for calculating the indices is also completely different. Apart from other nuisances. As per Investopedia. https://i.ani.me/0291/6161/sp4.png https://i.ani.me/0291/6165/sp5.png You stated that, “the SP&500 gain from 2018 to the end of 2020 was 23.96%”. That is factually wrong. That is not the gain from the SP&500. That is actually the gain from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). From 2018 to the end of 2020. A person indexed on the Dow Jones (DJIA) fund gained 23.96%. But as I already showed. A person indexed on the SP&500 gained 41.87%. Gains are simply better on an indexed SP&500 fund then on indexed Dow Jones (DJIA) fund. You also stated that “if you were to invest at the absolute best moment in the 2018 crash and sell at the absolute height of 2020 you would have a 39.54% gain.” This is completely misleading info. 39.54% is gains from the Dow Jones (DJIA). Not the SP&500. https://i.ani.me/0291/6169/sp6.png The absolute best moment to invest in 2018 was on Dec, 21. If you take those gains up to present day. That would be a gain of 58.96%. Which is still greater than your gains of 42.31%. You misquoted the gains from the Dow Jones (DJIA) to the SP&500. There are big fundamental differences between the Dow Jones (DJIA) and the SP&500. I encourage you to look at the difference between the two indices. Educate yourself of very basic financial terms and how to read charts. “Just wanted to correct your misleading info. I don't blame you, that chart is easy to read wrong if you don't know how to read it correctly.” @arc

@arc I have holy water and I know Whole Foods sells white sage. Oo

@a1ephy holy shit I made you post a novel. TLDR I'm just messing with you man. I knew you were talking about the 500. It was pretty mean, I admit. Will not do it again. Just felt like trolling a guy who loves trolling. By the way, how about now? Am I doing good now Aleph? Please Judge my account more. I need your wisdom and validation lol
