That sounds extremely gratifying.

Our kids learn from who we are long before they learn what we teach them.

Viva La Dirt League

Anyone who doesn't know about these kiwi guys then

https://www.vivaladirtleague.com/

I just link direct to their Youtube channel.

Have watched them for about 5 to 6 years, funny guys (and girls) they have just launched a Kickstarter for their first 20 minute film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r32-QukQIwo

I chucked in $15 they should make their goal.

IMHO one of their funniest clips below

Well, you're working good pot odds. The worst can happen here too, but much less likely at the hands of those empowered by the state.

I figure the best approach to the markets is to always be buying, at a consistent rate, as a proportion of your disposable revenue stream. When the market jumps you get less, when the market dips, you get more.

If on top of that you were gambling with discretionary funds, it seems more fun to be in than out right now. But I definitely wouldn't be juggling existing stocks in this environment. Or really, ever.

Not that I have any, I'm just holding a relative pittance of ETH. My modest capital is for my own ventures.

The 14 day self-isolation will rule out international gigs (which should be canned anyway) but adds to my list of exotic gig cancellations.

Clickbait fake news, the guy donated it all to charity and asked them to come and pick it up.

Makes sense. I suppose when the social media massive get on your case, you give up voluntarily if you know what's good for you.

Except there's zero evidence that anyone knew about it until after he donated it. So ymmv.

Still no email from Ticketmaster about it.. I hope they’re not waiting until the day of to confirm cancellation?

I was worried about a cancellation, but I was also worried about losing the money, as ticket insurance doesn't cover epidemics, and they weren't cheap tickets.

Thankfully Ticketmaster's detailed a policy of "If your event has been cancelled, there’s also nothing you need to do. It’s Ticketmaster’s policy to automatically refund the full cost of the ticket and fees to the original purchaser’s credit card."

They've gone as far as listing what's been cancelled and what's been rescheduled. No BoM yet.

There it is, but it's not officially on the Ticketmaster list yet.

Faith No More is not on that list, but fingers crossed. I don't have tickets yet, who knows what will happen.

Do you have much experience with stock trading during crashes and long-term bear markets? I've been in the game a long time and have survived four or five really major downturns. I wouldn't personally advocate for a dollar-cost averaging strategy in trading conditions like these. I'd wait for the dust to settle.
