Big deal is you can’t take Medicare until 65 so you’re either buying health coverage on a prorated social security check or flying naked for 3 years.
Don’t do it. My recommendation is always work as long as you can and don’t take anything RMD Or SS until they make you.
This is true. Medicare does not come with SS benefits at 62. Again...if you are able to work past 62 and keep that insurance by all means, keep that job. If you are planning on living off of just SS benefits at age 62, you aren't going to make it that long. People were constantly dismayed at what their benefits are when they take early retirement at 62. It's just not enough, and it won't ever be. [Reply]

Yeah, fuck it! I retired at 54 according to the Social security but I have rental income to live on. I wonder how much I screwed myself not paying in since 54?

Just another buying opportunity. Just stupid people panicking over a few Coronas. Inovia pharmaceuticals is working on a vaccine. Soon as its available the rally will resume. [Reply]
Great money to be made right now. If these virus fears dwindle heading into spring, the market will rebound in a huge way...great buys out there if you do your research. [Reply]

Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. (INO) shares rose 11% to $4.56 after the company said it is collaborating with Beijing Advaccine Biotechnology Co. to advance the development in China of INO-4800, Inovio's vaccine against the recently emerged strain of coronavirus.
Inovio recently said it is developing INO-4800 through Phase 1 human testing in the U.S. to evaluate safety and immunogenicity with the support of an initial grant up to $9 million from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.
Inovio said it plans to rapidly develop INO-4800 against the new coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV, and has already started preclinical testing and preparations for clinical product manufacturing. [Reply]

I have a large sum of money coming in this week. It looks like a good time to buy, so will probably build up my portfolio with some dividend stocks. Most of the ones I have been watching are 5 to 15% cheaper in the last few weeks.
If Ford gets down to the $5.00 range- I might have to buy a couple of hundred shares and wait for the bounce. [Reply]

I bought 100 F shares this morning. It will likely drop again, but they'll likely increase their dividend spend and when they inevitably go up once the dust settles here, it will have been a good buy. [Reply]

Yep, it is at a 52 week low and lowest in decades. They have a lot of issues with recalls, labor cost and shrinking market share. But, it looks like a good buy right now, even if they end up cutting the dividend. Imo you will do pretty good on this one if you hang on and collect that dividend and wait for a nice bounce. :-)
Sears stock is only .25 cents a share. Looks like it was bought out by their former CEO. They are still closing a lot of stores- but they night survive. If it gets down to a dime a share- that would be a steal. Their assets should be worth more than that. [Reply]
