its neither a hedge nor leverage. It's a place to put your long term money to grow, probably the best place. if by 'Wallstreet' you mean financial advisors, they recommend a mix of assets, not a single asset class in stocks

No, we are undercounting the number of people who have it (asymptomatic or not) by a huge factor. at one point it was by a factor of 10, but I doubt that is still the case. This is why I watch florida like an eagle, because if it stops goin

the 1918 spanish flu death rate was around 20%. It was only in March 2020 after covid19 was mainstream news it got edited in Wikipedia to show 2% (not sure if that's changed by now), you can check the edit history. But in short, in 1

that's a cynical way of thinking. applying something in a new area is innovative. For example, the iphone was a mobile phone + mp3 player + ... none of that stuff was new, but yet the iphone was incredibly innovative. this helps str
