Funny you mention raiding bank accounts as a ploy to get people to spend money. I read something a few years ago where the Fed was considering taxing bank accounts by instituting negative bank interest - kind of like when bank fees slowly kill an inactive account. The idea was to keep people spending. It never went anywhere, but it's shocking that serious people could be considering this.......
NVAX looks pretty good, SVA does too - maybe another flu is about to bless us. I don't think most of the junior mining plays will bounce back anytime soon. The whole space is a total disaster. I've moved on to other things, but I still have some leftover Venture stuff that is virtually no-bid.
The beer thing really hurts too, lol......
