    I have a friend who made generational wealth shorting the housing market. I wonder what opportunities are there right now.

    I know people will look back and think "Why didn't I think of doing that?"

    I'm not sure exactly what he did, but I am pretty sure it was similar to what happened in the Big Short (movie). Basically made bets that housing stocks, bank stocks, would get fucked and when it did, he did well.

    I toyed with the idea of shorting but never got the nerve to actually mess with it...same with commodities.

    Its not for everyone, that's for sure. This guy was a lot smarter than me, worked in a hedge fund but a lot of this was on his own I believe.

    The number of coronavirus cases in the United States has passed 1,000 Tuesday, with the rate of infections likely increasing. Despite this, the U.S. continues to lag on testing, and healthcare workers say they lack adequate protection and protocols to allow them to safely care for infected patients.

    Its what needs to be done.

    I'm guessing that Mexico and the Shithole countries will be on the banned list.
