Canada border closing announced
Citizens of Canada and US are exempt
But anyone crossing must self-quarantine for 14 days.
Sounds like a great place to avoid...
Can Mexico be far behind?

Maybe it's all over the web if you're in Canada.
I'll tell you one thing. Canadians left San Carlos IN A HURRY in the last three days.

Found it on the National Observer. Americans allowed "at this time."

Canadians citizens, legal residents, and US citizens,as well as some essential personnel, like airline pilots, etc. allowed in, no one else.
"All over the web" means all over the web. There isn't a separate web for Canada. Google it. If you don't know how to search Google, that's your
problem.

At some point the Mexico-USA border will be closed. Don’t know when conditions will prompt this. But with the USA sheltering in place, and economy
oin depths of a recession (Biden sure to win btw), there is much lower trade across the border, so won’t be a big deal to close border for a while.
Heck, countries in EU are closing their borders,... I expect the effort to flatten the curve will see USA doing same as eu countries, total clampdown
Woke!

I'll take that bet for $5K. You game? We'll put the money in escrow.
I'll give you until the end of September for it to happen.
If you don't take the bet, don't ever talk in the subject again, ok?

Well Goat?
As well I'm jumping on stocks. This is a historical opportunity for the small guy to jump in the poker game with the big ones. This is not like other
great crashes...when this let's up (about the time the water warms up for summer waves) the pent up desire to work, spend and invest is going to
explode.

What did you have your investments in before this slide? Stocks were the only asset producing any rates of return, compared to bonds and government
securities. You are relatively young, not much chance you were heavy into fixed return assets or government paper. You surely didn't keep large
amounts of cash sitting in your bank account, did you? Maybe a winner of the "lucky genes" contest and have a large trust fund to play with? I have
a couple friends in that position, not me.
How much cash does someone in your position (paralegal?) keep on hand to "jump on stocks?" If you have real estate investments, they aren't the most
liquid, unless you're borrowing against them to play the stock market. Not the wisest strategy putting eggs in your basket at further risk, IMO.
Or, are you just blowing smoke?
Just interested, as a fellow private investor. BTW, I do have an MBA in Finance, and previously held a Series 7 license. My portfolio has only
dropped about half what the market has, which I feel is pretty decent compared to what I see around. I'm just holding tight, this hasn't bottomed out
yet. I just re balanced my portfolio in December to a less risky position, glad that I did. I currently have about 10-12 months living expenses in
my bank account. That is not money I "jump on stocks" with. Especially right now, the worst is yet to come, IMO.

Exactly. If only I had a bunch of cash on hand.

I didn't see anyone offering a bet, aside from yours. If you are wrong, will you button your lip?
Don't believe everything you think....

It's JZ's "no class" way to intimidate someone with money. Remember Mitt Romney and his $10,000 bet? Yeah, it made him look like an ass as well. I
expected better of JZ. Especially with so many out of work, or soon to be.

At this point I think there are multiple news outlets reporting this, but I found this article from Forbes magazine that covers the salient details.

It was more of an attempt to stop him from spewing his nonsense, something he knows isn't true, but is doing it to scare people.

Six hours later from when I was inquiring, the situation changed.
Pardon me for asking the OP to provide more details. Is it really to much effort to perform a simple cut and paste, if you post something you deem so
important?
Even though it has very little to do with Baja..............

Most Every A.S.S. (here, there and elsewhere) has an Opinion ................
But, as the last week has shown, those opinions are based on nothing more than wishes, hopes and delusions.
ANYBODY who ventures what it may be like a day from now, much less any longer period, is F.O.S.
NOBODY KNOWS.

I understand. He does have a way of getting under people's skin. So do a lot of us, myself included. It's a gift.
Take care and keep your family safe, there's lots of empty trails ahead.
