Investment-wise, seems to me we baby boomers will make certain businesses solid for the next 20-30 years: retirement homes, assisted living homes, skilled nursing facilities and funeral homes.

Yeah, provided the IPRB doesn't kill us all off first. :^)

(Just kidding.)

Dear sister in Christ, I imagine if the stock markets sell off big time early next year, sooner or later there will be amazing buying opportunities for well-managed, well-capitalized firms in the business sectors you name, plus basic consumer consumption goods, food processers, pharmaceuticals, etc.

[This statement is premised on the expectation that at some point, America will return to "normality." Yet on reflection, it seems to me that a bit of a "leap of faith" is involved here.]

If one has cash on hand, one could pick up quality companies "for a song."

It is a truism that astute stock investors make money out of down markets as well as up markets....

But I'm retrenching for now, to protect principle in the shorter run.

We do live in interesting times, dearest sister in Christ! It's amazing I'm still in such good spirits!

But I am, all thanks be to God!
