It certainly is a great value given its more financially stable than all the FANGS and trades at a more respectable price. The only thing it lacks is a dividend, however, it is still in growth mode. $GOOD $GOOGL

It is the Senate that is responsible for not passing it, debating it early on, and making a deal. The Republicans are Trump's party so there is no real way to pass it or solve it except by extending the existing benefits which Republicans are angry about Americans in need getting money. Don't expect anything.

Thanks for the update, I appreciate the info.

This is not a particularly good time for this, save maybe video games, however, this is best done on multiple screens. The last thing I want to hear is useless banter while watching sports, the commentators are annoying enough. Maybe I'm the minority in this field. That said you need sports to drive this and most sports are on a break and the few that are should be taking a break. What we need is investment in Covid solutions since there is not a coherent national response.

So much with the hypothesis that cash is dead, or that credit cards and the 1,000 other fractured payment systems prone to fraud including crypto currencies will do great under Covid. Stocks and assets have risen and that is pretty much all as people realize capitalism favors hoarding assets. Monetary grease has replaced elbow grease.

Why buy ETFs when they end up siphoning your money off? Semiconductors are volatile in a bad way for ETFs. They all move pretty much in line and when a semiconductor cycle ends they all go down terribly together. You are much better off buying a few semi stocks and diversifying out of semiconductors.

"The President will move to assist the economy if Congress fails to make a deal this week, which they probably will do."

Remember Congress attempted to continue stimulus weeks ago and the President and Senate blocked it with no counter proposal for weeks. What do you suggest the President to do now? It seems like it is a crisis of their own making and there doesn't seem to be an answer. The President can't even convince his own party to all support him on this after doing nothing until the last moment. Remember the budget remains in control of Congress not the President.

Here is coverage on CYDY in UCSF tonight.

However, I am fiscally conservative. The US messed up pumping the economy for all the years it was expanding. For that, there is no excuse and is the definition of poor planning and economically destitute behavior. We need to learn or put more constraints on central bank actions when we aren't in crisis or in an economic downturn.

Republicans and Democrats are to blame and Congress should take back their power from the central bank, the Presidency, and manage the fiscal aspect of their Constitutional duty better. Simply put, the fault and error of the Treasury has been committed years ago and is the opposite of anything resembling fiscal constraint or good economics. You don't stimulate and carry low interests rates in an expanding economy. Revoke their degrees and make them attend basic economics courses again please.

We should do everything we can, sadly we aren't and it shows. When a treatment that prevents Covid from being fatal comes around, which I believe we are on the cusp of, we can take these and other steps to enabling the economy to get back to normal. Until then exchanging life for business as unusual (it will not go back to normal no matter what social policy you take to stimulate the economy) is not a risk we or any nation should take.

The worse the disease gets in the country and the longer it lasts risks even worse economic effects will come into play as countries begin to take measures to prevent reinfection and business develops around you. If we don't do anything we are liable to get lumped into this pile of countries where you need to find a way to get what you need without them. This will undermine our country's economics and put us in a position where we fall behind the ROW economically.
