I watched the NY Times’ timeline of events regarding the Floyd murder. It is just unbelievable to watch them so callously take a mans life. Careful, it’s a tough watch: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/u...ation.amp.html

so, while the rest of the world burns, everything keeps coming up Millhouse. Got offered a full-time gig at merck. Money is better than I've ever made, strong culture of work-life balance, great benefits (they still offer a pension!?!?). Plus, I feel like the company is pretty decent. Patients over profit, strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, both internally and world-wide. Pretty happy.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

I have close friends who work for them, and they really like how it's run. I mean, they even complement senior management, which I don't hear very often.Originally posted by heyelander View Post

Yes, it's insane. It seems to be pricing in a full rebound already, so if anything were to change, it could come crashing back down pretty quickly.Originally posted by heyelander View PostComment

I'm going to mildly disagree with revo on this one. I agree with the part that some significant bad news could still move the market down a lot - 15-20%. However, there's a lot out there that likely indicates very well for a Fortune 500 or premier NASDAQ company - energy prices are low and will likely stay low for a very long time, the savings rate has increased a great deal, and the perception is that once shutdowns/lockdowns are eased, consumer confidence will rise. Companies well-placed in Asia, other than China, see incredible growth opportunity.Originally posted by heyelander View Post
My POV is for a change, the market is actually taking a longer term view rather than reacting to issues right in front of their nose.I'm just here for the baseball.Comment

I agree. And I'd add that the extended lockdown knocked out a large number of mom and pop shops, removing competition for the top end companies.Originally posted by chancellor View PostComment
