That blue bottle with the white lid is exactly what I am promoting! What a friggin coincidence.Great product placement. Can I send some to you guys to use in the office? Tritan bottles that are dishwasher safe and aligns with what I am doing. They will be there when you reopen the office. Ben is a superstar and Mike too! Josh is my fav but he just personifies a broker mentality with the stats to back it up Back in the 90's used to work at a refinery with a oil trading platform and just enjoyed working with these guys. Thanks for all the insight. You guys are like Fast Money on steroids(love the cliche). How many bottles will you need and what do you want printed on them.

Hate to say it but to me it's really hard to dollar cost average into a 100% equiities portfolio. This is super risky here, you aren't buying companies on the cheap with the market down 20%

Stocks are forward values- if we hit downward hard toward real value we are talking a 2/3 drop

Could we just ask that lenders defer debt payments for x number of months, govt can pay interest and we avoid certain massive layoffs while staying home. #stayhome #DeferAllDebts

Are they clones of Batnick and Carlson? They seem to be just talking heads in the tshirt.

Hey guys how about a 401K/RRSP (CDN subscriber) emergency withdrawl program that's tax free (for those who have them) to a maximum amount? Wouldn't this help families remain solvent through some of this crisis? Is anyone really worried about their retirements right now? Mortgages, spam, empty grocery shelves etc. The idea of laying on a beach watching my income streams roll in sounds so yesterday its frigging laughable. For a lot of people these are resources that should be tapped penalty free given the circumstances.

Why would inflation be a good thing 12 months down the line? Please explain.
