I've been fortunate enough that despite being hourly and with a pay reduction since 3/24, I've worked 8 hours/day the whole time. I actually just got the good news that my company applied for and got the PPP loan from the SBA and we are approved to work 40hrs/week through June. Up until today it was a weekly update on Fridays to tell us we could work the next week. |

This suggests Snyde (snarky Clyde) is probably more accurate than not:
https://iphone.appleinsider.com/arti...ll-be-v-shaped Apple has some of the best market analytics and Tim Cook is wicked smart. If they’re modeling a V shaped recovery, then I would use that as an important datapoint for our discussion.

Lemming, don't see my post as an attack on you, I just don't believe the world economy will ever be the same as it was 6 months ago. Apple will survive, they have plenty of tech and plenty of cash in the bank. Many companies will not survive this.
I wish I had the foresight to sell my REIT investments 4-5 months ago.

I don’t really know what it will look like. I’m in a protected industry which is in the eye of this particular storm (biotech). I don’t have the brain power to follow every sector to know how each sector emerges from this. While Apple might pull ahead, they’re still pulling against credit defaults, unemployment and foreclosures. Yes.

hertz is the new canary in the COVID19 coal mine for what happens next.
Let’s hope they’re not forced to sell down their inventory which would flood the market and depress used cars prices a ton? Unless we think that somehow is good for car sales?
