investmentwatchblog--2020-04-19--Proof Democrats Are Crazy, Insane And A Danger To Us All

If you weren ’ t convinced until now that Democrats are crazy , insane and a danger to us all , I now have clear and irrefutable proof .
That ’ s the anti-malaria drug that has become a miracle weapon in our arsenal to defeat Coronavirus .
The stories of its remarkable success in the battle versus this terrible deadly pandemic are everywhere .
They are no longer “ anecdotal.
” This Trump-touted drug appears very likely to be a miracle drug .
I ’ ll get to all those stories in a moment .
But first , let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows that only 18 % of Democrats would take hydroxychloroquine if they were sick with Coronavirus .
Folks , that ’ s just nuts .
Democrats are suicidal .
They not only don ’ t value human life , they don ’ t even value their own lives .
And it ’ s not just run-of-the-mill crazy liberal voters or activists I ’ m talking about .
Democrat leaders are just as reckless , dangerous , ignorant and delusional .
Michigan ’ s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer banned the drug for use against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steve Sisolak banned any doctor from prescribing it , unless in the Emergency Room or ICU .
Even though the doctors that use it regularly , consider it proven safe and report the drug works best when used in the early stages of coronavirus , before a patient lands in an ER or ICU .
And don ’ t forget- that ’ s the whole point of this hysterical , reckless shutdown of the US economy .
Don ’ t we want to “ flatten the curve ?
” Isn ’ t our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victims to the ER or ICU ?
So why would leading Democrats politicians ban it , or refuse to recognize the success of this drug ?
There ’ s only one answer : “ Trump Derangement Syndrome.
” President Trump was the first to tout this miracle drug .
He urged doctors to use it on victims from the earliest days of this pandemic .
That was all it took for Democrats to despise this life-saving drug ; run away from it like the plague ; refuse to educate the public about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in extreme cases , actually ban it .
You know what you call that ?
Crazy , insane and dangerous .
Democrats would rather let Americans die than give Trump a chance to take credit .
Some might call that murder , or certainly manslaughter .
Now to the stories .
I can ’ t fit them all .
But here are a handful .
A month ago , New York Dr. Vladimir Zelenko M.D .
was a guest on my national radio show .
He had ( at that time ) treated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Hydroxychloroquine , Z Pak and Zinc .
Only 1 was hospitalized .
He urged every doctor and hospital to prescribe it at the earliest onset of Coronavirus .
Dr. Zalenko returned as a guest on Friday to give an update to my national radio audience .
He has now treated 1450 Coronavirus victims .
Only two have died ( and one of them had cancer ) .
He reports few major side effects .
He calls the drug “ safer than Motrin.
” But it should be given , he says , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My personal radio agent John McConnell was only hours away from death .
He said goodbye to his wife .
He was in the ICU about to be put on a ventilator , when Sean Hannity and Dr. Oz saved his life .
Hannity urged Dr. Oz to call McConnell ’ s doctor and intervene .
Dr. Oz convinced the doctor to use Hydroxychloroquine .
McConnell is now thankfully out of the hospital and on the mend .
My friend and frequent radio guest , former boxing champion Joey Gilbert , came on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report both his parents were dying of Coronavirus , when Hydroxychloroquine saved their lives .
They both made full recoveries .
The media this week reported on a 80-year old Vegas couple on death ’ s door , who made a full recovery because of Hydroxychloroquine .
The same story reports on a Los Angeles M.D .
who prescribes the drug in combination with zinc , who has seen a 100 % success rate .
Dr. Anthony Cardillo , CEO of Mend Urgent Care reports , “ Every patient I ’ ve prescribed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very ill and within 8 to 12 hours , they were basically symptom-free.
” It ’ s happening all across the world .
Studies in France and China report on the remarkable success of Hydroxychloroquine versus Coronavirus .
A Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper story from last week reported on the UMC Hospital here in Vegas becoming the first hospital in America to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine to high-risk out-patients .
They prescribe it , then send them home .
To date , the results have been remarkable .
Dr. Thomas Zyniewicz said , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ date are better than outcomes we ’ re seeing from Italy , China , France and other countries.
” So why are so many victims still dying ?
Why isn ’ t this drug being given to every Coronavirus victim across America ?
Why are there still doctors who don ’ t know about it ?
Why do only 18 % of Democrats say they would use this drug if they were sick ?
EIGHTEEN PERCENT .
Why is our economy still shut down ?
Why would we be ruining the lives of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while waiting for a vaccine that may never come , or prove ineffective , or perhaps even prove dangerous ?
When we already have a safe , effective treatment right now , that has already saved thousands of lives .
And it ’ s dirt cheap- about $ 20 per treatment .
We already have an effective treatment .
It ’ s time to reopen the economy .
Why are Democrats in denial ?
There is no reason for this irrational fear of Coronavirus .
Not when about 90 % of victims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or don ’ t even know they had it .
Not when 98 % of victims recover .
Not when many of us have already developed “ herd immunity.
” And those that are left- the elderly , the sick , the immune compromised , can simply take this miracle drug protocol at the first sign of illness .
Why is anyone still scared ?
The answer can only be one thing : “ TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
” Trump touted the drug first , so Democrats and their allies in the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deny its remarkable success .
Proof positive Democrats are crazy , insane , and a danger to us all .

If you weren’t convinced until now that Democrats are crazy, insane and a danger to us all, I now have clear and irrefutable proof.
It’s spelled Hydroxychloroquine.
That’s the anti-malaria drug that has become a miracle weapon in our arsenal to defeat Coronavirus. The stories of its remarkable success in the battle versus this terrible deadly pandemic are everywhere. They are no longer “anecdotal.” This Trump-touted drug appears very likely to be a miracle drug.
I’ll get to all those stories in a moment. But first, let me mention the latest Rasmussen poll which shows that only 18% of Democrats would take hydroxychloroquine if they were sick with Coronavirus.
Folks, that’s just nuts. Democrats are suicidal. They not only don’t value human life, they don’t even value their own lives.
And it’s not just run-of-the-mill crazy liberal voters or activists I’m talking about. Democrat leaders are just as reckless, dangerous, ignorant and delusional. Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer banned the drug for use against Coronavirus. My own Nevada Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak banned any doctor from prescribing it, unless in the Emergency Room or ICU.
Even though the doctors that use it regularly, consider it proven safe and report the drug works best when used in the early stages of coronavirus, before a patient lands in an ER or ICU. And don’t forget- that’s the whole point of this hysterical, reckless shutdown of the US economy. Don’t we want to “flatten the curve?” Isn’t our goal to stop this illness beforeit sends victims to the ER or ICU?
So why would leading Democrats politicians ban it, or refuse to recognize the success of this drug? There’s only one answer: “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
President Trump was the first to tout this miracle drug. He urged doctors to use it on victims from the earliest days of this pandemic. That was all it took for Democrats to despise this life-saving drug; run away from it like the plague; refuse to educate the public about the drug in the liberal media; and in extreme cases, actually ban it.
You know what you call that? Crazy, insane and dangerous. Democrats would rather let Americans die than give Trump a chance to take credit. Some might call that murder, or certainly manslaughter.
Now to the stories. I can’t fit them all. But here are a handful.
A month ago, New York Dr. Vladimir Zelenko M.D. was a guest on my national radio show. He had (at that time) treated 670 Coronavirus victims with a combination protocol of Hydroxychloroquine, Z Pak and Zinc. Only 1 was hospitalized. He urged every doctor and hospital to prescribe it at the earliest onset of Coronavirus.

There is no reason for this irrational fear of Coronavirus. Not when about 90% of victims either get Coronavirus in very mild form, or don’t even know they had it. Not when 98% of victims recover. Not when many of us have already developed “herd immunity.” And those that are left- the elderly, the sick, the immune compromised, can simply take this miracle drug protocol at the first sign of illness.

Proof positive Democrats are crazy, insane, and a danger to us all.

Money manager and economist Michael Pento predicts a “tsunami of inflation” is coming in the not-too-distant future. Pento says, “People are losing faith in fiat currencies. The price of gold in other currencies is already at all-time record highs. Even in dollar terms it’s $1,700 per ounce and on its way to record highs. What is the government going to do when you have insolvency and inflationary implosion of the bond market? The real crash is coming. . . . A government cannot issue more debt to bail out an insolvent condition—fact. A government cannot print more money to placate a market that is afraid of inflation—fact. That’s what they are going to be faced with: Yields spiking because of inflation and insolvency concerns, and then there is nothing a government can do. It’s not going to be just the United States, it’s going to be the case globally. . . . That’s when the money is no good, and the bonds are no good.”

by Charles Hugh Smith via Of Two Minds If you have any doubt that the Fed and Wall Street will some day be dismantled , please re-read this “ real life in America ” list again .
The pandemic is a stark , brutal spotlight on income/wealth inequality in America : while the top 10 % who own the majority of the nation ’ s wealth cheer the Federal Reserve ’ s relentless pimping of the stock market , the bottom 60 % –America ’ s vast underclass of low-paid , marginalized , gig-economy , Amazon warehouse precarious proletariats ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tragically , their lives as the pandemic ravages the ranks of those who can not work at home and those whose health is impaired by the ceaseless struggle to survive in Unequal America .
The inequality isn ’ t just in wealth and income ; it ’ s in what that wealth and income can buy– stability , security and better health .

The pandemic is a stark, brutal spotlight on income/wealth inequality in America: while the top 10% who own the majority of the nation’s wealth cheer the Federal Reserve’s relentless pimping of the stock market, the bottom 60%–America’s vast underclass of low-paid, marginalized, gig-economy, Amazon warehouse precarious proletariats (precariats)– are losing their livelihoods and tragically, their lives as the pandemic ravages the ranks of those who cannot work at home and those whose health is impaired by the ceaseless struggle to survive in Unequal America.
The inequality isn’t just in wealth and income; it’s in what that wealth and income can buy– stability, security and better health. While there are plenty of wealthy Americans in poor health, there’s no getting past the reality that those with big incomes, 7-figure net worths and gold-plated healthcare insurance paid by their employer or family-owned enterprise can afford to be gym rats, hire personal trainers, get regular dental care, eat costly delicacies from Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck to precariats)–in other words, everything needed (including the financial security that enables a good night’s sleep) to be slim and healthy.

It will force worship. Religious freedom will come to an end. You must worship on Sundays for them. It will not matter if you “truly believe” Sunday is the Sabbath or not. Think of Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego. Do you think everyone who worshiped the golden statue when Nebuchadnezzar set it up were truly worshiping it from the heart? No. Many bowed out of fear. But it did not matter. The simple act of acknowledging the king’s idol by bowing before it was enough to count as sin before God. The same is true here. The simple act of going to church on Sunday “because the government told you” is enough to constitute being locked out of heaven for all eternity.

A delay by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in quickly making coronavirus test kits available was the result of “a glaring scientific breakdown” at the CDC’s central lab, The Washington Post reported Saturday, citing scientists and federal regulators.
The Post reported that CDC facilities which assembled the testing kits “violated sound manufacturing practices, resulting in contamination of one of the three test components used in the highly sensitive detection process.”
And while the part of the test that was compromised was not critical to detecting the coronavirus, CDC officials took more than a month to remove it from the test kits, according to The Post.
That lag in action aggravated national delays in testing for the virus, and in turn hampered a battle to contain the virus’s spread, the newspaper said.

A recurring theme of modern financial crises is the “temporary” nature of the extreme steps governments take to fix the system.
Recall that the massive increase in the Fed’s balance sheet during its Great Recession asset-buying binge (which is another way of saying “currency printing binge”) was going to be reversed out.
But a funny thing happened on the way back to normal: We couldn’t get there from here. The Fed actually did raise interest rates and shrink its balance sheet a bit in 2018, but towards year-end the financial markets melted down. Here’s the S&P 500:
This flash bear market was enough to send the Fed back to cutting rates and printing money. And just like that, zero-to-negative interest rates and QE to eternity became permanent features of the global economy.
Then came the pandemic that not only ratified QE but expanded it to cover pretty much any financial asset anywhere, while sending government deficits to levels last seen during World War II. The IMF now projects that by year-end global debt will be $8 trillion higher than it would have been otherwise. Advanced economy sovereign debt will surge from 105% of GDP to 122% — in one year.

Now let’s assume the best-case scenario going forward, which is that a cure for covid-19 is developed and the global lockdown ends in a few months. The world goes back to work and growth returns to the previous 2 or so percent.
What happens to all this new debt? Nothing. We simply carry it into the next crisis, amplifying a mess that would have been spectacular in any event.
2018 proved that tightening of any kind is destabilizing for a society this highly leveraged. So currency once created and debt once incurred can never be retired, only rolled over.
And rolling over ever-rising amounts of debt requires ever-easier money, which means the current loan guarantees, direct payments to individuals, industry bailouts and all the rest are just a taste of things to come. The true crazy begins when one-off relief payments are made permanent (hello, UBI), when the Fed makes QE equal to the entire federal deficit (come on in, MMT) and when whole categories of private sector debt are simply forgiven (step out of the bible, Mr. Debt Jubilee). Oh, and when interest rates go firmly negative in the US (see you in the rear-view mirror, zero bound).
Put another way, the entire socialist/corporatist wish list is about to be enacted in one ear-shattering primal scream of “WE GIVE UP!”

There are now signs that China’s lack of transparency and its failure to contain the spread of the virus internationally is slowing down its economic recovery. It is now apparent that European governments are hardening their positions toward China as they weigh future business activity with the nation.
French President Emmanuel Macron accused Beijing of not being upfront over its handling of the epidemic, while in the U.K., Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to involve Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co. in the nation’s next-generation mobile network may fall prey to mounting opposition. The European Union’s position on China has been relatively measured, but leaders are beginning to call for a more thorough examination of its activities amid accusations Beijing has covered up the true scale of the epidemic. American intelligence officials are said to have concluded that China concealed the extent of its outbreak and under-reported the number of cases and deaths. “Let’s not be so naive as to say it’s been much better at handling this,” Macron told the Financial Times in an interview published Thursday, referring to China. “We don’t know — there are clearly things that have happened that we don’t know about.”
When you’ve lost Macron . . . .
As global leaders weigh the actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party in the wake of the pandemic, little things like bad test kits and underwear-based masks add up. So it is not surprising that some countries are reassessing their plans to be part of China’s 5G global empire.
The UK is moving to drop Huawei as a vendor for the country’s 5G cellphone network in a major blow to Communist China over poor coronavirus transparency. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, now recovering from COVID-19, gave the Chinese company a role in 5G infrastructure this year, squashing opposition last month by 24 votes in the 650-seat House of Commons. But now, concern about the Chinese Communist Party’s inaccurate reporting on the coronavirus has lawmakers crafting plans for a retreat. “We need to devise a proper, realistic exit strategy from relying on Huawei,” Conservative Member of Parliament Damian Green told Bloomberg News. “Our telecom providers … need to know the government is determined to drive down Huawei’s involvement to zero percent over a realistic timescale.”

Per review of the Paycheck Protection Program reports released by the SBA on 4/13/2020 and 4/16/2020 ( a difference of just 3 days ) , the average approved loan size decreased from $ 239,152 to $ 206,000 ( a decrease of over 13 % ) .
Furthermore , the total number of loans approved in the amount of $ 150,000 and lower increased by 70 % throughout that same 3-day period while the bigger loan categories increased by only 43 % at the highest .

This week’s SPY fund flows, though, are quite interesting – and perhaps? suggest the bull gang momentum is waning. I’m not saying gung ho the drop cometh, but interesting stat to chew on.
Weekly SPY FUND FLOWS since 1/19/2020 (week beginning):
1/19-1/25 : $1,987 mil outflow
1/26-2/1: $57.4 mil outflow
2/2-2/8: $1,320 mil outflow
2/9-2/15: $1,083 mil inflow
2/16-2/22: $770 mil outflow
2/23-2/29: $21,031 mil outflow (!)
3/1-3/7: $909 mil inflow
3/8-3/14: $5,962 mil inflow
3/15-3/21: $3,364 mil inflow
3/22-3/28: $36 mil outflow
3/29-4/4: $1,730 mil outflow
4/5-4/11: $2,885 mil inflow
4/12-4/16: $3,676 mil outflow (just thru Thursday)
$16,406,660,000 less in total value in SPY from 1/19 thru 4/16.

12.9% lower share price since then, but 17.5% lower assets since then. Overpriced. Put another way, if these assets on the sidelines magically rush back in it will push prices even higher than we were before.
Data’s not available for Friday, and probably considerable inflow at the end of the day is going to balance this crazy shit out for the week, but still end lower.
Lots of numbers. Probably mostly bullshit. PS – think about selling call credit spreads to limit your theta exposure as you wait for the drop.

The data its based on is not subject to revision. Its a deep plunge because recessions do not usually start with a contraction in consumer spending let alone a stoppage. I suspect the numbers will get worse as long as the shut down persists because of reduced business investment and other second or third order effects that ripple through the economy.


investmentwatchblog--2020-04-19--Spoke directly to a Congressman today. Asked question you all asked. Here are the answers

This was a pretty rushed summation of the conversation , but I was asked to start a new thread , so here it is .
So from what they said , they too are very concerned with the “ big small ” businesses taking up the funds and are trying to rewrite the next funding to eliminate that possibility .
They stated that this is on the forefront of Democrat ’ s minds .
They also stated that the talks they are having would include more restrictions on the SBA and the banks for future funding regarding the “ first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favoring applicants based on loan history .
They also stated that they know that banks are holding applications in order for the next round of funding so people should not lose hope .
The funds will be coming and your place in line should be saved .
They also stated about the issue with the 8 weeks “ at loan origination ” is kind of still up for debate within Congress and they are hoping that clarification regarding this would be applied to past applicants as well .
They said if you need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 8 weeks , you could wait as they are confident in future funding .
They had no idea that the SBA is not going on first come , first served basis and they are not following any sort of pattern , and they said their team will be investigating this immediately .
Especially regarding the first round of applicants prior to the 3/30 streamlined app .
They were not aware that it seems that all long form apps were basically pushed back due to the streamlined apps .
There ’ s more , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all my thoughts .
I will update soon .
Basically , -very concerned about Ruth ’ s Chris and the cheesecake ass , franchises and big guys taking all the funds and how they will be using them .
-aware that SBA and banks need clearer guidelines and oversight -recommended trying to keep employees on unemployment for as long as possible ( unless open or close to reopening ) .
Or try to put them on part time and use PPP to make up the difference .
Wasn ’ t sure the implications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are getting especially f-Ed and need special considerations -guidelines should be clarified soon and they will let me know when they hear of any Please don ’ t come at me about any of this .
I ’ m just a messenger who also has their life on the line .

They said if you need to wait to apply to meet your 8 weeks, you could wait as they are confident in future funding.
They had no idea that the SBA is not going on first come, first served basis and they are not following any sort of pattern, and they said their team will be investigating this immediately. Especially regarding the first round of applicants prior to the 3/30 streamlined app. They were not aware that it seems that all long form apps were basically pushed back due to the streamlined apps.
There’s more, but I’m trying to collect all my thoughts. I will update soon.

Basically, -very concerned about Ruth’s Chris and the cheesecake ass, franchises and big guys taking all the funds and how they will be using them.
-aware that SBA and banks need clearer guidelines and oversight
-confident in additional funding coming quickly
-recommended trying to keep employees on unemployment for as long as possible (unless open or close to reopening). Or try to put them on part time and use PPP to make up the difference. Wasn’t sure the implications of this, however.
-sole proprietors are getting especially f-Ed and need special considerations
-guidelines should be clarified soon and they will let me know when they hear of any
Please don’t come at me about any of this. I’m just a messenger who also has their life on the line.

The United States has 30 million small businesses that employ half of its workers.
Half those small businesses had enough cash to survive 27 days without support (link to study below).
The SBA funded 1.6 million small business loans before running out of money this week.

That leaves 28.5 million small businesses with no cash support, and at least 13.5 million of those small businesses had less than a month of cash to survive to begin with.
Only the federal government has the ability to prevent total economic collapse. We’re at that critical one month juncture, have already lost 20 million jobs, and the government just pulled the plug on its already-insufficient life support system.

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-19--2.9+ Million Homeowners In Forbearance Plans

According to Black Knight , as of April 16 , more than 2.9 million homeowners are in forbearance plans , representing 5.5 % of all active mortgages .
Together , they account for $ 651 billion in unpaid principal and includes 4.9 % of all GSE-backed loans and 7.6 % of all FHA/VA loans .
Remember : regardless of a borrower ’ s forbearance status , servicers of loans in government-backed securities must make advance principal and interest ( P & I ) payments each month for these loans .
At today ’ s level , mortgage servicers would need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of government-backed mortgage securities on COVID-19-related forbearances .
Another $ 1.1 billion in lost funds will be faced each month by those with portfolio-held or privately securitized mortgages ( nearly 5 % of these loans are in forbearance as well ) .
While Ginnie Mae has announced a pass-through assistance program through which it will advance principal and interest payments to investors on behalf of servicers , at present there is no such program in place for mortgages backed by the GSEs .
Not surprisingly , Fannie and Freddie have the largest amount @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
But the FHA & VA have 7.6 % of loans in forbearance .
And according to Redfin , pending homes sales YoY are down almost 50 % .

At today’s level, mortgage servicers would need to advance $2.3 billion/month to holders of government-backed mortgage securities on COVID-19-related forbearances. Another $1.1 billion in lost funds will be faced each month by those with portfolio-held or privately securitized mortgages (nearly 5% of these loans are in forbearance as well).

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-19--USA decides to get rid of small business once and for all

I own a cleaning company , a month ago we had 11 employees and had just started doing about $ 40k a month in revenue .
This “ stimulus ” feels more like a punishment .
There are so many things wrong with how the various “ stimulus ” packages are currently being administered .
And not just PPP .
I have spoken to hundreds of other service business owners who are also experiencing the following : • They did not receive any amount money from anyone – loan/grants etc .
• Their employees are making more through unemployment and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work .
Unemployment is currently paying an extra $ 600 per work on top of whatever your pay is .
• Many of their businesses are not allowed to operate yet , though there has been no formal stopping of payment for business expenses/rent etc .
• It is unclear what the ramifications of their staff taking unemployment will mean for their unemployment rates .
Cleaning is deemed “ essential ” however , no one in their right mind wants cleaning technicians going from home to home right now .
Also we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not allowed .
• Employees are able to easily collect unemployment , for business owners many of the negatives outweigh the positives… Assuming you can even get the red tape and actually even collect .
• Larger competitors ARE receiving loans and grants and are going absolutely annihilate us over the next year .
What does this mean ?
I think we will see many small ( 0-20 employee ) businesses close .
Larger companies will eat up more market share and have [ almost ] free uncle-sam-bucks to do it .
Wages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low-skill labor-type jobs as garbage corporations and larger companies put smaller ones out of business .
To be clear I don ’ t think this is a function of the “ stay at home order ” being too strict .
I think misappropriated funding is creating an environment that actively puts small business owners at a disadvantage .
Our company would objectively be in a better spot had no stimulus money been paid out .
Edit : to be clear we aren ’ t going out of business , nor am I looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shedding light on the fact that this stimulus is hurting many businesses like mine because my larger competitors are receiving mountains of free cash while we are all out of commission .

Unemployment is currently paying an extra $600 per work on top of whatever your pay is. Many of their businesses are not allowed to operate yet, though there has been no formal stopping of payment for business expenses/rent etc. It is unclear what the ramifications of their staff taking unemployment will mean for their unemployment rates. Cleaning is deemed “essential” however, no one in their right mind wants cleaning technicians going from home to home right now. Also we are being told by local government we are not allowed. Employees are able to easily collect unemployment, for business owners many of the negatives outweigh the positives… Assuming you can even get the red tape and actually even collect. Larger competitors ARE receiving loans and grants and are going absolutely annihilate us over the next year.

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-19--EIDL Decline is a NOT really a decline

EIDL Decline is a NOT really a decline

I would urge all my fellow business owners here that these decline emails going out since last night is nothing but a system generated response .
I design softwares for a living .
I know this subject very deeply .
I can tell reading all these threads since last night that ( 1 ) yes , the loan software has detected that some information/document is missing from the file .
It was supposed to mark it for a human to see if they need to override it , or call biz owner to get the info ( 2 ) BUT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” response to biz owner saying , “ Hey Bob , I need Schedule C from your 1972 tax return , or , Hey Bob , I need the middle name of your grandmother , or , I want to know what you had for dinner on your 14th birthday , it is basically triggered ( wrongly , of course ! )
to send out these denial emails .
If you all notice that these are very generic emails with same “ unsatisfactory credit history ” template because nobody told the software what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some changes/updates yesterday that resulted in this “ unintended consequences.
” When you program something , and when you have no time to test in an controlled artificial environment to see what software will do in real time with these new changes , you can have these weird things happen in real time .
This is why they test before going live .
Here , nobody had time to test .
They are doing things quick !
As you can see they are muzzling it through the queue and we should not expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first before going online in real time .
No doubt they have figured it out that this software glitch will cause riots , so I am sure their programmers have fixed it already .
I would not read much into it .
You are NOT declined .
Rest assured you WILL hear from a “ human ” in due course and/or your will get your portal link .
Mark this as a software glitch .
You are NOT out .
As much as this whole experience sucks , but they are not setup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks .
No , the software will NOT apologize over it - : ) Hope this calm down those who got decline email .

Government out of control. Look, let’s get this out of the way. Coronavirus is bad. It seems to be a very easily transmitted virus. We have seen a lot of people become sick, and sadly many people have died.
With that being said, how much of YOUR rights are you willing to sacrifice? Let’s remember, Dr. Fauci has said that this may indeed be a “seasonal” virus. So, with that being said, are we willing, once or twice a year to have the government quarantine us in our homes out of the interest of “public safety?”

Snitching on crimes & criminals is one thing. Snitching on your parents or friends for taking a walk is joining the SS in 1938. NOT in favor of this (and it violates the 1st Amendment also). t.co/MoUBcXOGxL — Ray Pendergast (@RayPendergast01) April 3, 2020
