Have some extra time on your hands? Fill out your Census, ideally online. I just did, and it was pretty easy, really just needing full names, birthdates, and ethnicity of those living with you. For the online version, at my2020census.gov, you need your 12 character Census ID code that was mailed to you. The paper is mostly light blue. AAPL is holding up ok, at the session lows and at the monthly low other than the 1 day dip. That puts things in a hard place, where some ill timed news could freak people out. Currently below the 2 small sell orders I made on the way up a few months ago, it's slightly tempting to buy back some of them. But I'll probably wait, scooping up some or all of them if things dip further. We'll see how this next hour and a half go, and then over the weekend. The low risk choice is to just wait, and low volume is showing that is a popular choice.

Ok, picked up a small batch of shares at $240.10 just now, for a little more than a $30/share discount over what I sold them at on 12-11-19. No crazy amounts or super high risk, nor feeling that this is the best time to buy. Just looking long term, and continuing the goal of buying low and selling higher.

Sadly, that level was hit 2 days ago. Yesterday was just below that level, and today looks likely to hit that mark too. For whatever reason, I can't open that article. But places like www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ list those grim values, along with showing that several countries with populations much smaller than the US are also seeing fatality numbers at this level. While 150k die worldwide each day, and we're all going to die sometime, it's a lot of people, both passing away and being hospitalized.

Hey Aaron,
On the census, I don't feel patriotic enough to share how many toilets I have.
On the online census, can one just answer the pertinent questions and be done with it?

Hey Aaron, On the census, I don't feel patriotic enough to share how many toilets I have. On the online census, can one just answer the pertinent questions and be done with it? Ted There were no questions on number of toilets, at least on the online version. It did ask more than I thought it would, like full names including middle, and full birthdays. You didn't have to put in the full ethnicity background as that was a text box. But we did, at least to a few levels. I feel it's important to do things like this and give the info. But I've also been called about the mid-term census/employment data, a couple years ago. I forget the name of it right now, but especially in our area where there are a lot of second homeowners and a lot of people that don't want to share info, I felt it was important to work with them and be another data point, in that case representing 10k or 20k others.
