@WayDownSouth I had to criticize, but I also have something constructive. Below is a discussion of Covid-19 in this forum. Notice the 4th post from me on January 27, where I predicted 10,000 cases in China. Shockingly, that was breaking news on CNN 4 days later, and caused a very small drop in US stock markets.

On March 10 2020, I predicted the U.S. would reach 10,000 cases and cause a market panic, so I started "a market timing plan" to sell some of my portfolio.

After the crash, I predicted a bottom then started investing in Covid-19 stocks like $M $DIN $DXPE to await recovery. That's also how I invested my Roth IRA, but I won't post proof, so I just point people to my profile link. It links to the end of that experiment, where I beat the S&P 500 by over 100%.
That's cool and nice work. Not sure if you're trying to be a friend or a foe, and if your story is serious or you're just talking shit.
Your posts and replies to me are all over the place - it's annoying. If you have something to say, spit it out clearly please.
There was room there to put your ego aside and admit you were wrong, and even show you use data in your decision making - none of which is shown in your replies. I turn foe to people who get facts wrong and refuse to quote sources, which is what I see you doing. Notice how I documented every step of my story, and then you aren't sure if my "story is serious", even though you can see the evidence with your own eyes on this forum.
Okay let me explain this VERY simply. Investor friend associate said these trades were taking place during that time period and I know he would not lie. THis time period may have been before official announcement of ANY sickness anywhere - it doesn't matter.
It could be that the whole thing was planned, a conspiracy, and that was the reasoning for the slow and steady movement over those months as to not raise suspicion. ALL I KNOW is that the timeline I gave for those events is correct. How/when/why is less relevant to me but after all, the story as a whole shows that not only was the info out there, but select few(s) were privy to that information - maybe because they created the disaster to offer a solution. There could be a lot of reasons.
So, at the end of the day what I am saying doesn't rely on when or where fucking SARS-CoV-2 surfaced. I hope that's clear.
With that said, I offer my sincere apology if I sounded like a dick. I'm not being a dick. But please understand that just because something is public knowledge, or on TV, or "officially announced" does not mean that it's new, real, or occurred in the way that you, I and the rest of the world was told. If you look history and truths that have surfaced decades after the fact you would accept that what I am saying is completely coherent, feasible, and doesn't deserve an attack.
As to the other guys above with similar BS: Do I trust the CDC or WHO? Fuck no, I do not. DO you read their papers and follow their content over the years? Some of the shittiest ideas, studies, information, and science I've ever seen. So that's been clarified now too.
The sarcastic illuminati bullshit comments and such are just stupid by the way, too. It makes you two look like non-thinking, unintelligent groupies claiming that there's nothing real except what you're told is real. Are we adult intellectuals here or are we adults morons who are only with enough intelligence to make a financial plan and retire early? I for one am not a moron, nor an adult child. I don't buy what the media sells and I don't give a shit what they're saying because I don't pay attention to them. I have more important things to do.
I enjoy learning, teaching, and contributing information. If you don't like the info or if you disagree let's talk but don't talk shit to me. Have some respect. I know a lot more than you may expect. Or maybe not. Either way.
