Plants and corona

On Sunday, I ordered $220+ worth of plants from PlantsAndFriends and had them delivered today. I’ll be honest and admit that it’s probably slightly ridiculous that I did this. But I wanted to do my part to support local businesses and have no buyer’s remorse. I have never met the team in person, but they seem to be hard working group of entrepreneurs that I was excited to support. Go check them out @plantsandfriends

On to the next…

What’s more likely at this point in the market… a) new all time highs, or b) the market dropping sharply again? The S&P was up almost 3% today and I think everyone is confused. If you predicted this, you’d be a really rich person right now.

Meanwhile in real life, California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted out his 6 principles for opening the state back up. Considering that California has done wonders in regards to containing covid, it’s hard to argue with his plan. Follow the science, not politics. Good job Gavin.

Given that we have a Governor who has done a great job here in managing the situation, I can’t help but predict that this is going to be take longer than what I initially predicted. Unfortunately, I do not see sports continuing with fans anytime soon. I can’t imagine large gatherings until we have a vaccine in place. The risk is too high and going into another shelter in place will freak people out more than they already are.

We’re in this for the long haul. We’ll start to see some things go back to normal in May and June, just don’t expect everything.
