The market should hold up as the Federal reserve will keep pumping dollars in an election cycle. Covid is unknown although people are working hard on a treatment to keep people from dying. A vaccine that is tested for safety the same way other vaccines are is unlikely by the end of the year. However, they may get one out if you want to be a guinea pig. Hopefully, the FDA will have tested the basics and the rest may be up to luck.

If you want to see the US go lower cut out stimulus checks and watch the economy sink. It may happen with the Republicans and Trump trying to get a gold bug in the Federal Reserve. I guess he's not planning on winning.

LOL, buy companies like Exxon that pay dividends.

In this case to deal with the pandemic, I think the market and people in general agree to try to ease fears and prevent panic. I can't disagree. However, as a general statement, the long term trend doesn't look good if this becomes a regular issue. The point is, we need to deal with Covid. The longer we dither around without dealing with it on a national level the more it will spread and grow in the States with the worst records in dealing with it keeping the infections going.

There is clearly pent up demand, however, I'd be careful reading too much into this.

If the US goes the way of Japan he answer will be yes. Hopefully, the economy will recover and growth will resume from where it left off pre-pandemic or even pre-Obama and Trump.

Payments directly to consumers and taxpayers is much better than pork.

Here is a recent article on the results.

It is too early to say short term. Any new drug that prevents deaths in Covid patients will help the market. As for the economy, the US is already expecting another low quarter, anything that points to a brighter future will be well received.

I am hopeful that a viable drug will help people from dying in the near future. This and only this will help us get over Covid problems because our national response is clearly inadequate and a vaccine is a while off and official FDA verified safety is a long time off and everyone knows it. Tell me you have a Covid Vaccine and I know you are a long ways off of most everything. Covid Vaccine applications are the new give me free government money and wait for negative results game.

Look to drugs that can cure existing patients and can be tested this year. As I disclosed I'm hoping CYDY pulls through. you can bet on whichever solution you feel can do the trick, just hope that they work out. The rest of the stock market hinges on these whether or not you know it. Now more than ever.
