Been with Contrarian Outlook since 2016. Still pleased. His specialty is CEF's, it's a plus, I believe. Monthly short list of current choices to deploy new money is a good feature. I make my own choices for exiting positions. It's not exciting, just [...]

On Another Look at COVID 19

Posted on August 10, 2020

The use of the raw number of cases and of Covid deaths is very, very unhelpful. There is no way from that data to assess the scale and impact of Covid! Lazy journalism? Propaganda? The most useful data I have dug up is stated as Covid-related deaths [...]
