1) #KeepCalmBuyStocks is the real answer to the Coronavirus. This is, as one of my friends stated, NOT the Black Plague. It is, as another of my friends stated, a Communist Psyop.
2) We have defeated Communism. Perhaps, we shouldn't take the credit, perhaps Communism has defeated Communism. I have stated all along that the virus was never the issue. Communism was. It was Communism that created this crisis. Please remember that.
3) And here in America, where it is merely Socialism that is on the rise, it is Capitalism that will solve this crisis. Capitalism, and Truth, Justice, and the American Way. If you glance at the headlines, you will see nothing other than catastrophe. Gleeful, joyous, catastrophe.
4) So, let's talk about the mast that you cannot buy, yet. Soon, you'll be able to. Why? We'll soon create - as we did in WWII - the plants to build the masks, right here, in America, that we have until now outsourced to China.
5) Stocks will find their bottom, sooner rather than later. I'm buying on the way down, not with any expectation of profit soon. Rather, I'm buying on the way down to hold, until after the crisis is over. And, as I've said, that is my recommendation to you.

6) In all this silliness, let's talk for a moment about autocorrect. I mentioned, above, the masts that you cannot buy. You probably understood that I mean masks. We need to talk about those damnable masks. Why, oh why is it that we outsourced their production to...China?
7) There is an easy answer. Communism is just another term for slave labor. Slaves are, by definition, cheap. Since we didn't think masks were important, we only cared about their "cheapness." So, move the factories making them to China, where slave labor is cheap.
8) But let's turn another direction. It's not that I wouldn't wear a mask if I had one, and if the CDC told me to do so. I would. But, I'd have no confidence in it. I would NOT think the mask made me safe. What is safety? I have the answer. It is my immune system's abilities.
Forgive me in advance, as I'm about to confess something in public that noone wants me to confess. I'm 59 years old, and I do not take flu vaccinations. If I'm going to get the flu, I will. I accept that. And, if the flu kills me, I will die. I accept that.
10) I am not a flu scientist. I don't know about the vaccine. I just know that one day, whether I want to or not, I will die. If it's the flu that takes me, it will be the flu that takes me. Between now and then, I work every single day to strengthen my immune system.
11) So, I imagine that I'll never be able to buy a mask. Never. Okay, I say to myself, head on out anyway. No, don't sneeze in other people's faces. No, don't stand so close. Okay. But, I also say to myself, don't just stay at home and stop buying stuff. No.
12) So, let's talk about immune systems. There is a single greatest thing one can do to build one's immune system. It is the combination of breath and motion. Raise up your arm and breathe in. Lower your arm and breathe out. Repeat. This is exercise. It builds your immune system.
13) I'm doing that right now, in between typing here at Twitter. You should do it right now, in between reading what I write. Ha! A virus attacks what? It attacks our immune systems as humans. I say, let's kill the damned virus. Let's build our own personal immune systems.
14) Let's turn back to money. As stocks fall, I continue buying. So should you. I don't know where the bottom will be and neither do you. I don't care where the bottom will be and neither should you. I promise, there will be a bottom, and I also promise, I'll be in when it hits.
15) What I do know is this. America will bottom out before other nations bottom out. Our bottom will be higher than theirs. We will rise before they do. And I will be in, and I hope you will too, for that rise.
16) Here's another thing I know. A supply chain is, to a nation, as an immune system is to a body. You don't just eat food. You digest it. And the food isn't just joy to your tongue, it is fuel for your body also. Your body processes the food, converting it into energy.
17) A nation grows food and distributes it. America grow more food, and distributes it farther than any other nation on earth. Jefferson saw this in the 19th century. We see it in the 21st. We grow food here. Food fuels bodies, and bodies support immunity.
18) I say again, CVS may never have a face mask for me, and I will still go out and buy stuff. American farmers and manufacturers will still ship stuff to Walmart, and I will still go buy that stuff. So also at my Giant grocery store. I'll likely be there there later today.
19) My friends, we're all going to die, sooner or later. For me, I'd prefer later. But, I suffer no illusions. I will die someday. Knowing that, I will still go out and buy stuff, and that is what I urge you too to do. And, and say it with me...

20) Today, I will buy Walmart stocks, and Giant Supermarket stocks. I have no clue what their prices are, or what their history has been, and I couldn't care less. I'm just going to buy and hold, that's all. Well, and I'll go buy stuff from them and eat and use it. How about you?
