📡 Rose Bowl flees California for Texas...

While I have a pretty deep love for the Rose Bowl, I'm a firm believer that decisions have consequences. If the state, county, and city are going to decide there should be no fans, then there should be no game. Move it elsewhere. Play it in Dallas or New Orleans or just have a semi and the championship game in Miami. Plenty of options. Not saying the stadiums have to be sellouts, but having zero fans is dumb.

No fans to be allowed at Rose Bowl for CFP semifinal game

No spectators will be allowed at the Rose Bowl for the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 1 because of state, county and city of Pasadena COVID-19 restrictions.

That freakin cesspool of a "state"! I hate that stinking place! I feel so bad for the few good people that live there and have to suffer under Gavin "Hitler" Newsome and his stupid ass policies. Just as previously stated, move the game out of there. Totally destroys the game atmosphere, especially one of this magnitude. The 4 teams likely to be in the finals all are located east of the Mississippi so why have the game in a place that could care less about these four teams. Have I mentioned how much I despise that state! Such a beautiful place run by liberal piles of ":&#". Absolutely no reason in this year of adjustments, that the NCAA couldnt relocate this game.

Read that Biden is going to mandate mask for the first 100 days...Umm, isn't most of the country already in this mandate?

Let's shut it all down. Throw the economy into a tailspin.

My 401k is up big time for the year, I'm going to be moving everything to bonds in the next few days. A correction is a coming.

Haven't you heard POTUS is going to declare limited Marshal Law and have the military oversee the a reelection process smh. We have one messed up government these days. Is there any area that is not dysfunctional or flat out dishonest?

I can't move it all out of stocks. I've never been a big fan of trying to time the market. I got massacred in the dot com bust and those since, but I've enjoyed every run-up, too. Had I bailed when COVID first hit I'd certainly have missed on this rally. The rally was pushed a good bit of the year by a handful of darlings, but this rally has broadened recently. Don't get me wrong, I agree the pain of this economic downturn will at some point knock stocks, beyond the initial pain in 1Q20.

Getting closer to retirement increases the need to temper the stock mix, but most of us have to plan to live quite a while in retirement, so stocks can't be off the table. The potential for bond fund volatility is there now, as much as ever. From a volatility standpoint, the lower the stated interest (coupon) rate on a bond, the more volatile it is to interest rate fluctuations. Same with maturity, the longer the maturity, the more volatile to rate movements.

As you put it, most of the country is in a mask now, what would a 100 day mask mandate do to tailspin the economy?

Shit. I'm in the liberal part of Montana, it's enforced.

As much as I disagree with the whole mask thing, it's not something I'm going to take a stand on.

Tonight, we're going to our favorite bar and having a drink and burger. Support local ;)
 
There is no f'ing way to keep the game in "land of fruits and nuts"...
Thats stupid and it might end up like the San Francisco County that does not permit contact sports.... and 49ers had to move home games...
Time to move it....atlanta...tuscaloosa....anywhere east...

@planomateo. I don’t really disagree with "mask thing"
I disagree with federal government mandating something...
Leave it to states that best can manage their situations

A correction of some kind is coming soon.

I didn't react quick enough in March and took a hit. But I jumped on a few things that have made up for it and then some.

Just going to pull out and jump in again when it takes a hit.

In reference to folks considering retirement allocation to something more moderate during this time of political risks that affect various markets. Considering using a Dollar Cost Averaging instrument that pauses your stock market (equity investments) by depositing it in an account paying 5% fixed currently. Then it will distribute 1/6th of the money back into the market systematically (without trying to time anything) over the following 6 months. This video offers a clear demonstration how it works.

New York Life Insurance Company Dollar Cost Advantage Account at 5%

I've been doing this since 2007 & I saw this thing absolutely exploite the great recession average drop of around 40%. It was by the grace of God that I did it for many of my clients not due to some super genius insight I had. But my logic was very simple...Get paid a fixed rate instead of playing the violin on a sinking ship & have more money later to buy that ship at a discount.

I can run exact illustrations for anyone interested tailored to your specific interest so that you may make a more informeddecision. No charge at all.
