I have to do my research about this....

It would seem that there´s more money to be made with bad news. People aren´t concerned about good news;
they need something to worry about. The Media is more than glad to oblige, & sponsors just hop on board as we
are subjected to endless distress. This is a self-perpetuating dilemna that often leads to a ´kill everyone syndrome´
so prevalent at 6 p.m.

Psychology: Why bad news dominates the headlines

Psychology: Why bad news dominates the headlines

Why is the news filled with disaster and corruption? It may be because we’re drawn to depressing stories without realising, says psychologist Tom Stafford

A few years ago I suggested to my friend, a local TV meteorologist, (and he almost did it!) to switch his weather forecast with the news staff on April Fools Day wherein he could tell what the weather was yesterday, and the news staff would predict the upcoming day’s news. Apparently the news producer couldn’t get on board with the concept/joke. I, and my dog, thought it was a great idea.

Here´s an interesting item from Bloomberg Business, headline::
First-ever covid-killing steel inactivates 99.9% of virus within hours.
Evidently researchers in Hong Kong have found a stainless steel
that kills covid. Who knew? I have had a stainless rod in my leg
pumping Chromium ions thru my body for 35 years. Huh, all that
worry & inconvenience for nothing? Could this be why all those
other viruses missed me?

I credit a half century of alcohol and nicotine use for my general resistance to most diseases. Just not very appetitizing I guess.

Lots of good news out there! I do paid terminal on Bloomberg, Reuters, and news subscriptions on Nikkei and Financial Times (no Sundays). Very objective and to the point. Not pandering in pain or trying to sell you something. My wife watches Japanese TV and Netflix. I keep my eye on the ball. Pandemic for me has been outstandingly good news - more than doubled my portfolio and clawed half of the gains back into gold. I tolerate masks vaccines and social distancing well. Isolation has been pleasant - I drink alone, all by myself, with nobody else .

Hot stock tip: Invest in the death business. Funeral homes, crematoriums, furniture companies that can make coffins, Formaldehyde. Maybe even old, under utilized cemeteries. Covid is only the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S. Getting shot by a gun is in the top 10. Death by ebike is way down the list.

Agree, but I find it is cannabis that makes for a truly enjoyable ride. Alcohol has good pickling benefits between rides.

That was a tip a decade ago. The baby boomers have driven everything since we were born. Suburbia, more schools, more homes when we married, marriage planners, bigger colleges, and now it's nursing homes, memory care, hospitals, and funeral homes.

The biggest transfer of wealth ever should be under way now as we boomers retire, go into nursing homes, and die off. Many businesses have sprung up to intercept that money before it gets to their heirs.

Yup, It´ś called ´health care´, but more often it´s about ´ bleed ´em dry before they die´.

I dabble in poker tourney play. Won a few small ones. I like a low profile. I don´t need much money.

It should be called 'sick care' not 'health care'... there's no interest or money in keeping people healthy via real food and exercise, I guess.

They work hard at maintaining the pretense.

Ah c´mon, that´s been driven by ruthless real estate developers like 45. You can´t pin this on the
whole generation..we get old, but that´s not our fault.
