Will this stock market madness affect cards?

Need some sports other then horse racing and Wuhan & Hong Kong Ultimate Fighting.

Going through withdrawals.

My sports book has been hit so hard that they sent me an e-mail to let me know there is a pro floorball league still playing somewhere in Europe.

Just sold another card at full asking price. I must be pricing these too low.

HaHa, what the hell is Floorball, thought that was a typo until I Googled it.

If you need a gambling fix, most US Horse Racing Tracks are still running. Just no fans, but who cares about that for now.

Tonight there is racing in Oklahoma as well as California, also in Japan and Austrailia.

There isn't enough money on the planet to keep the economy shut down for months. It is just math.

I live in Orlando and there are so many service jobs here. You can't keep them from getting a paycheck for months. The whole system will blow up.

If Disney goes south sure it hurts their stock holders but there are worker bees on the ground whose lives depend on that paycheck. If it doesn't come in their rent doesn't get paid. The apartment complex or landlord doesn't have cash flow coming in and next their debt doesn't get paid. Then the person holding that paper doesn't get paid. And on and on.

It isn't about propping up the stock market. It is about our economy is driven by cash flow and when that stops you start having problems immediately.

There is no choice at some point very soon to loosen things up and once it again it is just math and while this won't satisfy all it just is how things will have to be.
