you're right.

my take - Regardless of who won, who one likes (I like neither - I only like the folks at ChartsView! ) - I don't think the media - most of which are owned by Billionaires and trade on exchanges - should declare a binding winner.

elections should be called by the Electors and the courts (if it comes to that).

Al Gore - whom I like - took 33 days to concede; the path to being better human beings in my humble opinion starts with eliminating double standards / hypocrisy etc....

On this vaccine news - as it settles in own minds - you do start to wonder. I mean didn't Trump talk and talk and talk about a vaccine coming in November? didn't he say, after the elections, they'll stop the negative talk.... prophetic words at his expense!

Rooseverlt (the elder) did say, there are no accidents in politics, everything is pre-planned.

My pension is being spanked as virtually all in Gold funds so I might be biased - This has all the Hallmark's of sell on News pump and dump - The vaccine is still months away and central governments are still going to need to print money to fund the economic damage already factored in... Still hoping for a Gold inflationary fueled rally into 2021

Likewise buddy, it happens man. It's not easy to take - but hey, I wasn't complaining when I made coin off the brokers, so I'm slowly learning to take both sides of the trade and trying to retain some balance.

On reflection, I take a hit approx once every decade, in 2000-01 as a very young man, then, I took a hit in 2010-2011, and now, 2020 it's another hit. I hope we're all still here in a decade, so I'm counting on you to tell me to stay away from 2030!

I'm not here to "get rich" of the market, but I want to protect my assets, given that we (the 99%) are at the end of dminishing fiat and secret inflation.




Maybe I'll just hand my portfolio to WaveSurfer to manage!

small short at 30020.
stop 150.....

probably be stopped out in the next mins!
