With summer here, let’s all make plans to broaden our horizons and make sure to bring our kids along too.

@KingForTexas Thanks, Ken, for your work to help Texas children get a great education. I agree that what the Senate did is inexcusable.

@MebFaber Thanks, Meb, for the reminder that markets don't always go up all the time. Be careful out there folks. Beta bites and big beta bites big.

@MebFaber And going broke is a lot like dying. You just have to be that way for about 5 minutes and then you don't get to keep playing the game. Imagine what kind of return an 80/20 portfolio would have during the Great Depression. Here's the chart to help:

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

@MebFaber Most portfolios today, including the largest endowments, are approx 80/20, not 60/40. It is much easier to go broke at 80/20.

@MebFaber This chart is a great reminder why diversification, among all asset classes (as well as countries), is the bedrock principle of successful #investing. Thanks @MebFaber for sharing it.

@elonmusk @TheRealShifo But remember @elonmusk , crypto is fiat too. The true battle is all fiat (crypto and sovereign backed) against real assets (that have real utility).

Thanks to @rteitelbaum100 and @iimag for the nice article about the Abraham Fortress Fund we run at @AbrahamTrading

The markets play for keeps! Be careful and remember... Hope Is A Bad Strategy!

[Meb Faber @MebFaber]

Markets going a little batty, so step away from the terminal and listen to someone who has been doing it for a lot longer than you...all the way from Canadian, Texas!

Gov Abbott,
We can’t keep #Covid19 corralled when we take down fences. Our cases and deaths in Texas will rise as we stop social distancing. Let’s be careful to not start a stampede.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

COVID-19 testing like this continues to ramp up across the state.

We will continue to corral the #coronavirus...

...as we open up business in Texas.

MIT article by @antonioregalado here (very good): https://t.co/6sFOkvaVgT

If we "flatten the curve" the #coronavirus #covid19 will last longer. Here is another way to beat it: We need 90% of the population to be immune to have "herd immunity". Worldwide, 9% of the population is over 65 years old. The flu has a death rate of 0.1%.

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

I need to make a correction. Based off an MIT article, for #coronavirus #covid19 we need to get to 50% "herd immunity" to protect the population. This, of course, is much easier to reach than the 90% number I posted. Sorry for the mistake. I'm trying to get smarter.

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

Think about it... And stay safe out there. We will get through this by working together and being smart. We have bigger brains than #coronavirus #covid19. We can use our brains to beat it! 🧠🦸‍♂️🧠🦸

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

The healthy and young could protect the elderly and compromised by getting the disease and then building a planned herd immunity. Right now, we are building haphazard herd immunity and it will drag out. Kinda crazy for sure, but we are in crazy times.

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

Forget flattening the curve. This would make the curve stop.🤒🙄

[Salem Abraham @SalemAbraham]

If everyone, worldwide, went into isolation for 45 days then whoever had #coronovirus #covid19 would either recover or die and whoever doesn't have it wouldn't get it. In 45 days we would be disease free. I know it is probably an impossible recipe, but it would work.
